Newly released police documents provide troubling insight into the mental state of former St. Louis news anchor Angelynn “Angie” Mock, who is accused of fatally stabbing her mother, 80-year-old Anita Avers, inside their Wichita, Kansas home on Oct. 31.

Mock, 47, a former television reporter and anchor, was arrested that morning and charged with first-degree murder. She remains held on a $1 million bond, according to Sedgwick County jail records.

911 Call and Grisly Discovery at the Scene

A probable cause affidavit filed on Nov. 4 and obtained by PEOPLE details a chaotic scene and Mock’s own shocking statements.

According to the affidavit, Mock called 911 herself, telling dispatchers that her “mother tried to kill her, so she stabbed her in return.”

When Wichita police arrived shortly before 8 a.m., officers found Mock outside the residence, bleeding and holding a towel. Inside, they discovered Anita Avers lying on a bed, suffering from multiple stab wounds to her head, face, and torso.

Next to the victim, officers found a pillow on which several kitchen knives and even a cheese grater were placed — each item covered in blood.

The top bedsheet reportedly contained at least 12 puncture holes, consistent with knife strikes.

Mock’s Shifting Story: Claims of Threats, Chasing, and Delusions

Mock allegedly told officers she went to speak with her mother about a possible job interview at a TV station. Instead, she claimed she found her mother “sharpening knives with bigger knives.”

Mock reportedly said her mother attacked her and shouted, “I know you’re f—ing Jesus Christ,” prompting Mock to back away. According to the affidavit, Mock said her mother then “started spewing venom… out of her f—ing mouth,” which she described as the moment she felt the need to defend herself.

Mock gave conflicting statements to police—at one point saying she stabbed first, then later claiming her mother did.

She also allegedly said:
“I had to kill her, she wasn’t going to stop.”

After being treated at a hospital for lacerations to her arms and hands, Mock was taken to the police station, where investigators say she made several delusional statements, calling her mother “the devil.”

According to police, Mock said:
“I’d kill that b—- to have my mom back any day… I believe she is the devil.”

Family Describes Years of Mental Health Struggles and Past Outbursts

Barry Avers — Anita’s husband and Mock’s stepfather — told investigators that Mock had lived with them for four or five years following what he described as an alcohol-related workplace incident that led to her losing her job.

According to the affidavit:

• Mock was initially diagnosed with bipolar disorder, later updated to schizoaffective disorder
• She was believed to be on medication, though the family was unsure whether she always took it
• She had experienced angry outbursts over the years, including one incident that required two weeks of hospitalization

Barry recalled a disturbing outburst just weeks before the killing during a family card game, where Mock screamed that everyone “hated her” and that she “hated everyone.” He also recounted past comments in which Mock claimed people around her were “robots” and “not real.”

Despite these incidents, Barry said he had never previously felt physically threatened by his stepdaughter.

Competency Hearing Ordered

According to local station KWCH, a judge has ordered a competency evaluation to determine whether Mock is mentally fit to stand trial.

As the investigation continues, the chilling details from the affidavit raise significant questions about Mock’s mental state, her history of delusions, and whether the violent events of Oct. 31 were preceded by warning signs her family struggled to navigate.
