Episode Details

For years, Angie Mock was a familiar face on the morning news. On Halloween morning in 2025, the former television anchor approached neighbors in Wichita, Kansas, and asked them to call 911. Her mother, Anita Avers, had been attacked in her bed.

Angie said she had acted to save herself. Later, she told detectives she believed her mother was the devil.

Her family described years of delusions, angry outbursts, a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder, and a previous psychiatric hospitalization. Anita, an 80-year-old marriage and family therapist, had opened her home to a daughter who needed help.

In this episode of GBRLIFE of Crimes, part of GBRLIFE Transmissions, Kaitlyn follows Angie’s journey from broadcasting to a life sentence, while examining the warning signs, her changing accounts, and the difference between competency to stand trial and mental state at the time of a crime.

On October 5, 2026, Angie was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole for 25 years. But the sentence leaves another question: what happens when families become the treatment plan?

This episode remembers Anita’s life and considers the psychology behind the crime without losing sight of the person whose life was taken.
