Former News Anchor Gets Life in Prison for Killing Her Mother in Wichita Home
Mock pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and received a life sentence with parole eligibility after 25 years in her mother’s killing, prosecutors said.
- On Monday, Judge Jeffrey Goering sentenced former St. Louis news anchor Angelynn Mock to life in prison for the first-degree murder of her mother, 80-year-old Anita Avers, in Wichita, Kansas.
- Mock pleaded guilty in August to killing Avers on Halloween 2025; the 48-year-old had been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder before the attack, according to a probable cause affidavit.
- Describing the attack as "calculated" and "demonic," Avers' stepdaughter, Sonja Kreutziger, said, "The person I knew as gentle, kind Angie did not just murder her mom."
- Mock will serve life in prison with parole eligibility after 25 years, receiving credit for 339 days served but ineligible to earn "good time" to reduce her sentence.
- Declining to appeal, Mock listened silently as a prosecutor stated, "The case speaks for itself. I don't see any point in belaboring the point. I just simply ask you to follow the law.
