TV anchor stabs mother to death?

First of all, I'm sick and tired of TV anchors murdering people. This is getting out of hand.

On the other hand (hey that sort of rhymes) her mom was a real pain in the ass and an only average family therapist. Her own daughter proves that.

Finally, it's a little rough working at Fox News so I kind of forgive Angela.

Ex-TV anchor stabs elderly mother to death on Halloween ‘to save herself’: cops

A former morning show anchor in Missouri allegedly stabbed her elderly mother to death on Halloween, then told dispatchers she did it “to save herself,” local outlets reported.

Neighbors in the quaint neighborhood in Wichita, Kansas said that they were traumatized after Angelynn Mock, 47, staggered out of a home shortly before 8 a.m. Friday while soaked in blood.

Angelynn Mock, 47, allegedly fatally stabbed her mother on Halloween morning.

“There was a woman who approached our vehicle with like blood, like her hands were filled, her body was filled with blood, asking to call 911,” Alyssa Castro, who lives in the neighborhood, told KAKE.

Castro told the outlet that Mock took her phone and bolted back inside the house, where she called authorities and allegedly claimed she “stabbed [her] mother to save herself,” Sedgwick County dispatchers told the outlet.

Anita Avers, 80, was found with multiple stab wounds in her bed.

When authorities with the Wichita Police Department arrived, Mock was waiting outside with a series of bloody cuts on her hands.

Mock’s mother, 80-year-old Anita Avers, was found “unresponsive in her bed with multiple stab wounds.” She was rushed to a nearby hospital, where she died just 30 minutes later, according to the police department.

Mock was swiftly taken into custody and booked into the Sedgwick County Jail for first-degree murder, where she is being held on a $1 million bond, according to the county’s sheriff office.

Police eventually gave Castro’s boyfriend his phone back. Castro, though, was just grateful they “were able to help.”

“Like, we never know what anyone is going through. This happened randomly, but as long as we were able to get 911 and see what we can do, that’s all I really care about,” she told KAKE.

Mock used to be a morning news anchor at KTVI Fox 2 in St. Louis.

Avers was a marriage and family therapist at Wichita Counseling Professionals, her husband confirmed to the outlet.

Mock worked at KTVI Fox 2 as a morning and evening fill-in anchor from 2011 to 2015, according to her LinkedIn.

She hopped around between different sales jobs in the Gateway City through August 2017 before taking a two year hiatus from the workforce and switching to a data management company with at least five offices in the Midwest, including one in Wichita.
