Mother accused of killing 2-year-old after fixation on Lindsay Clancy trial

A Will County mother, Corie Walsh, allegedly murdered her 2-year-old son just hours after discussing the Lindsay Clancy murder trial with friends, telling police she did it because the child was the “devil” and the “anti-Christ.” The boy died from asphyxia due to ligature compression; Walsh was found with self-inflicted wounds and charged with three counts of first-degree murder. Investigators noted she had become very invested in Clancy’s case, a possible copycat motive linked to postpartum psychosis claims.
