The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

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.
