A former morning TV news anchor is behind bars after she allegedly stabbed her elderly mother to death.
Angelynn “Angie” Mock, 47, who previously anchored for FOX 2 News in St. Louis, was arrested Friday in Wichita, Kansas, after police say she killed her mother, 80-year-old Anita Avers, inside the home they shared.
When officers responded to the home around 7:50 a.m., they found Mock outside with cuts on her hands, according to the Wichita Police Department.

Neighbors in the community were traumatized after a bloodied Mock allegedly emerged from the home, local outlets reported.
“There was a woman who approached our vehicle with blood all over her hands and body, asking us to call 911,” Alyssa Castro, who lives in the neighborhood, told KAKE.
Castro told the outlet that Mock took her phone and ran back inside the house, where she called authorities and allegedly claimed she “stabbed [her] mother to save herself,” according to Sedgwick County dispatchers.

Three Milwaukee youth now charged in Walker’s Point homicide
Milwaukee storm uproots tree, crushing both of man’s trucks
David Machado describes how an uprooted tree fell on both of his trucks after heavy rain and high winds swept through Milwaukee.
Three Milwaukee teenagers are charged with felony murder in the Walker’s Point fatal shooting of a 35-year-old man April 14.
Milwaukee prosecutors issued charges of murder and attempted armed robbery in the killing of David Krause, which prosecutors and family said followed the man’s celebration of the city’s 414 Day celebration and asking the youth for a ride during the day’s heavy storms.
Milwaukee police said those arrested include a 16-year-old boy, a 14-year-old boy, a 15-year-old boy and a 16-year-old girl. The girl was released without any charges being immediately filed, according to a children’s court official, while the other three are charged.
A Milwaukee County Court Commissioner ruled each of the three charged teens will remain in custody ahead of their next court proceedings.
Krause’s mother, Diane Krause, described her son’s killing as a “monstrous act” and a “senseless crime” during an April 28 court hearing for one of the teenagers.
Krause had been celebrating 414 Day when he was dropped off at a Walker’s Point gas station and later asked a group of teens for a ride during the day’s heavy rains, according to his mother and a juvenile petition, the charging document, filed against one of the teenagers.
Footage shows Krause entered the vehicle, which authorities say was stolen, and the vehicle drove away, according to the petition. Afterward, footage showed Krause running from the vehicle and toward a bar entrance, but two of the youth attacked him before he reached it and one shot him.
The teenager who is accused of pulling the gun’s trigger faces an additional charge of arson for allegedly attempting to burn the vehicle they used in order to destroy evidence, prosecutors said at an April 27 court hearing. During the hearing, it was detailed the youth had previously been charged with firearm and car-theft related offenses and his whereabout was unknown to authorities since September 2025.
The April 28 hearing comes days after the first teenager charged in Krause’s shooting was mistakenly released by Milwaukee County staff and re-arrested April 27. That incident is under review, a county spokesperson said.
Krause’s family has been critical of the mistake.
“Someone has to answer for their incompetence,” Diane Krause previously told the Journal Sentinel.
