Crime Alert 02.13.25 | Nurse Picks Up Prescription for DEAD PATIENT

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/05f9527e-b6b0-4f96-9537-b2830079885a/transcript

Shortly after 7:40 a.m., Alyssa Castro and her boyfriend are in their car in their south Wichita neighborhood when a neighbor waves them down.

As the woman approaches, they see what appears to be blood on the woman's hands. The woman asks to borrow a phone to call 911, then takes off with the phone back into a house.

911 dispatch is called about a possible stabbing and relays a message to first responders that a woman says there has been a stabbing in her home.

Dispatch relays information that the person calling says the stabbing was in self-defense. She was trying to save herself from her mother.

Arriving at the home at 7:52 a.m., Wichita police find a woman outside the home with cuts on her hands and blood on her clothing.

Inside the house, they find 81-year-old Anita Avers unresponsive in her bed with multiple stab wounds. Both women are taken to the hospital. Mock is ultimately charged with murder. 

This month Angelynn "Angie" Mock is undergoing a court-ordered mental competency evaluation. This has temporarily paused her first-degree murder case.  The evaluation process typically takes 60 days . A new court date has not yet been scheduled. 
Arrest and Charge: Mock was arrested on October 31, 2025, and charged with first-degree murder in the stabbing death of her 80-year-old mother, Anita Avers, in Wichita, Kansas.
Custody Status: She remains in custody at the Sedgwick County Jail on a $1 million bond.
Competency Evaluation: Her attorney requested a mental health evaluation, which was granted by a Sedgwick County judge on November 14, 2025. The case was taken off the docket while the evaluation is completed, a process that typically takes around 60 days. The evaluation will determine if she is mentally fit to stand trial.
Alleged Motive/Context: According to a police affidavit, Mock, who has a history of mental health issues including a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder, told police she stabbed her mother in self-defense, claiming her mother was the devil. Her stepfather reported that Mock had experienced delusions in the past, including saying "They're all robots" or "They're not real people".
