What happened, for context

An Illinois woman, Corie Walsh, 40, has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the death of her 2-year-old son, Barrett, found dead in the basement of their Frankfort home on September 1, 2026. Prosecutors allege Walsh was closely following the murder trial of Massachusetts mother Lindsay Clancy and was texting friends about the case hours before her son was discovered. Walsh's attorney states she experienced a psychotic episode; she allegedly told investigators she killed the child because he was the 'devil' and the 'anti-Christ.'
