- The incident occurred in Wichita, where authorities were called to the residence around 7:50 a.m. on Halloween.
- The court communications noted Mock’s statements to herself about her mother being 'the devil.'
- The case remains a serious homicide matter with ongoing legal implications for Mock and her family.
