Illinois Mother Charged With Murder

Corie A. Walsh, 40, of Frankfort, Illinois, was charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the death of her 2-year-old son, Barrett Walsh. Police responding to a reported suicide attempt found Barrett hanging in the basement and Walsh in a bathtub with self-inflicted injuries, according to court records. Prosecutors said Walsh had been closely following Lindsay Clancy’s murder case and told police she believed her son was the devil and the anti-Christ. Walsh remains hospitalized in custody and is expected to be transferred to the Will County Adult Detention Facility when released.
