A Wichita neighborhood was shaken on October 31, 2025, when police responding to a \u201creported cutting\u201d discovered 80-year-old Anita Avers fatally stabbed in her Crowley Street home. Officers arrived around 7:52 a.m. and found Avers unresponsive in bed; she was pronounced dead shortly after at a nearby hospital.<\/p>\n
Outside the home, authorities detained Angelynn \u201cAngie\u201d Elizabeth Mock, 47, Avers\u2019s daughter and a former Fox News anchor. Mock was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, with bond set at $1 million. A neighbor recounted, \u201cA woman came up to our car covered in blood, asking to call 911.\u201d Dispatch recordings captured a female voice claiming she \u201cstabbed her mother to save herself,\u201d though authorities have not confirmed a formal self-defense claim. Investigators continue examining the motive, weapon, and sequence of events.<\/p>\n
Mock\u2019s career included reporting roles at KOKH FOX 25 in Oklahoma City, KTVI FOX 2 in St. Louis, and earlier stints in Montana, Nebraska, and Minnesota. In recent years, she worked in corporate consulting and nonprofit initiatives.<\/p>\n
