Former TV Anchor Charged After Mother’s Death Shocks Wichita Community

What began as a quiet Halloween morning in Wichita turned tragic when emergency

crews rushed to the home of Angelynn “Angie” Elizabeth Mock, a 47-year-old former TV news anchor.

Police found her 80-year-old mother, Anita Avers, with multiple stab wounds. Despite quick medical help, Avers was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.

Mock was arrested at the scene and charged with first-degree murder.

She is being held on a $1 million bond as investigators gather evidence and interview witnesses.

Dispatch audio reportedly captured a woman saying she “acted to protect herself,” suggesting a possible claim of self-defense.

Neighbors said a distressed woman sought help right after the incident.

Police have not confirmed a motive or any prior conflict.

Friends and former colleagues expressed shock, describing Mock as once respected and professional.

The community now mourns Anita Avers, remembered as “kind and compassionate,” while awaiting answers in a tragedy that shattered Halloween calm.
