Walsh told officers “she did this to her baby because he was the ‘devil’ and the ‘anti-Christ,’” the filing said.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
A suburban Illinois mother who had become interested in the Lindsay Clancy case has been charged with murder after she allegedly killed her 2-year-old son then attempted to harm herself, according to police and court records.
Prosecutors said Walsh had become “very invested” in Clancy’s nationally watched trial and was discussing it with friends until about 12.30pm. that day.
Walsh was discovered by the neighbor upstairs lying in a bathtub 'fully dressed, surrounded by bloody water,' prosecutors said in the petition.
Clancy, who killed her three children in January 2023, has been in the national spotlight amid her livestreamed murder trial.
