Perez Hilton Reacts to Former News Anchor Accused of Stabbing Elderly Mother to Death on Halloween
In a shocking case that has stunned many, former news anchor Angelynn “Angie” Mock has been arrested for allegedly stabbing her 80-year-old mother, Anita Avers, to death on Halloween. Perez Hilton shared details of this disturbing incident in a November 5, 2025, article published on his website.
Hilton opened his piece expressing disbelief over how Mock’s life took such a grim turn. “A former news anchor has been arrested for stabbing her elderly mother to death. However, she’s now gone from reporting on local true crime to living it,” he remarked.
Known to Many in the St. Louis Area
Hilton identified the suspect as Angelynn “Angie” Mock, noting that she would likely be recognized by anyone from the St. Louis area for her past work as a local television personality. He provided background on Mock’s career in broadcast journalism, stating, “She worked for KOKH-TV between 2007 and 2011, where she served as a morning anchor and evening reporter for Fox affiliate KTVI-TV.”
Details of the Incident
According to a statement released by the Wichita Police Department on October 31, Mock, 42, was arrested after allegedly stabbing her mother to death in Wichita, Kansas. Officers responded to a “reported cutting” at approximately 7:52 a.m. at a residence on the 1500 block of East Crowley.
Hilton quoted the police report: “Upon arrival, officers located the suspect outside the home. Inside the residence, officers found Anita Avers unresponsive in her bed with multiple stab wounds.” The victim was transported by Sedgwick County EMS to St. Francis Hospital, where she was later pronounced deceased at 8:26 a.m.
Circumstances Surrounding the Arrest
Hilton also cited a report from KWCH-DT revealing that Mock was discovered “covered in blood with cuts on her hands.” Authorities linked her to the violent incident based on these injuries and the circumstances at the scene, identifying her as the suspect.
A chilling witness account came from neighbor Alyssa Castro, who reportedly encountered Mock shortly after the stabbing. “Neighbor Alyssa Castro told KAKE-TV that Mock approached her car and asked her to dial 911. Castro said Mock took her phone before admitting to authorities she stabbed her mother to save herself, per cops,” Hilton reported.
Following the incident, Mock was transported to the hospital for treatment before being taken into custody and booked into the Sedgwick County Jail for first-degree murder. Police confirmed the investigation was ongoing and that it remained unclear when Mock would appear in court.
Professional Background and Aftermath
Exploring Mock’s professional history, Hilton noted that according to Mock’s LinkedIn profile, she had a long career in journalism spanning from November 2002 to February 2015. At the time of her arrest, Mock was working as a data management consultant.
In a poignant detail, Hilton reported that months before the tragedy, Mock’s mother, Anita Avers, had posted a nostalgic photograph celebrating her daughter’s early career as a reporter.
Hilton closed his report with a message of sympathy: “Our hearts go out to Avers’ loved ones during this unexpected time. Rest in peace.”
