Clancy copycat?
As previously reported, a 2-year-old child was found unresponsive in the basement of a Frankfort, Illinois, home on Tuesday. The child was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
The mother, Corie Walsh, 38, was charged with murder on Friday.
A 17-year-old called 911, and when police arrived at the home, the child’s mother was attempting self-harm.
Update: The child was hanging from the rafters in the basement.
The incident was being investigated as a homicide, and on Friday, police announced that Corie Walsh was charged with murder and is in custody being held for medical treatment.
Walsh will be transferred to Will County Jail later.
