Mother Charged in Son's Strangulation Death | Phoenix News

A two-year-old boy was found dead in his Frankfort, Illinois home with a ligature around his neck — his mother, Corie Walsh, 38, now faces three counts of first-degree murder. Prosecutors say Walsh told investigators she believed her son was the “devil” and “anti-Christ,” leading to the fatal act. Three other children in the home were unharmed. The neighbor who discovered the boy performed CPR before police arrived; autopsy confirms death by asphyxia. Walsh, hospitalized after attempting suicide, is being sought for denial of pretrial release as authorities dig into her phone and her recent fascination with another high-profile mother accused of killing her kids. The community is urged to pray for the family during this devastating time. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
