Mother Accused of Killing Son Believed He Was Devil | Dayton News

A chilling case unfolds in Illinois as a 40-year-old mother, Corie Walsh, faces three counts of first-degree murder for the death of her two-year-old son—whom she allegedly believed was “the devil.” The child was found unresponsive in the basement by a neighbor who tried CPR before discovering Walsh harming herself in a bathtub. Authorities classify it as a domestic homicide, with the cause of death listed as asphyxia. Adding to the horror, prosecutors say Walsh had been obsessively following the recent mistrial of another mother, Lindsay Clancy. Her defense claims she may have suffered a psychotic episode at the time. Three other children in the home were unharmed. Walsh is in custody and awaits court, while officials urge the community to respect privacy during this devastating ordeal.
