Mother Accused of Killing Son Believes He's the Devil | Portland Maine News

A chilling domestic tragedy unfolds in Frankfort, Illinois, as Corie Walsh, 40, faces first-degree murder charges for the death of her two-year-old son—found unresponsive in the basement with a coroner’s ruling of asphyxia. Authorities allege Walsh told investigators her child was the “devil” and “anti-Christ,” sparking community alarm and raising disturbing questions about her mental state. A neighbor discovered the child and found Walsh allegedly harming herself in a bathtub; she’s now in custody and receiving medical care before court. Witnesses also suggest Walsh was obsessed with the recent mistrial of Lindsay Clancy, adding complexity to her psyche. Her attorney claims she suffered a psychotic episode at the time. Three other children in the home were unharmed. Walsh is set to appear in court Tuesday. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
