A former American television presenter has admitted to killing her own mother in a case that has stunned viewers who once knew her from the screen. Angelynn “Angie” Mock entered a guilty plea to first-degree murder for the death of her mother, Anita Avers, 80, who was found dead on October 31, 2025, in Wichita, Kansas.
According to investigators, Mock had been experiencing episodes of delusion in the period leading up to the killing. Court documents reportedly indicate that she described seeing certain people as “unreal” and, most disturbingly, said she believed her mother was the devil. Those revelations have raised questions about her mental state at the time of the crime, though she ultimately chose to plead guilty rather than pursue an insanity defense.
With the guilty plea now entered, Mock faces the possibility of life in prison. The case marks a somber and unexpected turn for someone once recognized for her work in local television, and it has drawn attention for the unsettling combination of a public figure, a violent family tragedy, and reported signs of severe psychological distress.
Authorities have not released further details about sentencing dates or the specific circumstances of the crime. To learn more about the case and its background, read the full story at El Tiempo.
