A former television news anchor has been sentenced to life in prison after admitting she murdered her 80-year-old mother in a shocking stabbing inside a Kansas home on Halloween.
Angelynn Mock, 48, pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in the death of her mother, Anita Avers. The 80-year-old woman was discovered gravely wounded inside her Wichita bedroom on Oct. 31, 2025.
Mock received a life sentence with the possibility of parole after serving 25 years.
The sentencing brought an emotional and furious response from Avers’ stepdaughter, Sonja Kreutziger, who delivered a victim impact statement in court and described the killing as an unimaginable betrayal.
