Former Fox 2 Anchor Arrested in Wichita Murder

Former TV anchor Angelynn “Angie” Mock, 47, was arrested Oct. 31 in Wichita, Kansas, and charged with first-degree murder after her 80-year-old mother, Anita Avers, was found with multiple stab wounds and later died at a hospital. Officers who responded around 7:50–7:52 a.m. found Mock outside the home covered in blood; she was treated for injuries, booked into the Sedgwick County Jail and is being held on $1 million bond. Sedgwick County dispatch recordings include a caller saying she “stabbed [her] mother to save herself,” though police have not confirmed a motive and the investigation is ongoing. Mock previously worked as a morning anchor and reporter for Fox 2 in St. Louis from 2011–2015; Avers was a licensed marriage and family therapist. Authorities have not released details about an initial court appearance or further circumstances leading to the alleged killing.
