A former St. Louis television news anchor has pleaded guilty to killing her 80-year-old mother in Wichita, Kansas.
Angelynn Mock, 48, admitted to killing her mother, Anita Avers, on Halloween in south Wichita. Mock had been charged with first-degree murder in connection with her death.
According to a probable cause affidavit, Mock’s stepfather told investigators she had previously been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, a diagnosis that was later changed to schizoaffective disorder.
Mock was previously sent to Larned State Hospital for a competency evaluation and treatment. Last month, a Sedgwick County District Court judge reversed an earlier ruling and determined she was competent to stand trial.
Mock entered her guilty plea before Judge Faith Johnson. She faces a presumptive sentence of life in prison with the possibility of parole after serving 25 years.
Her sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 5, 2026, at 11 a.m.
