Today's riddle: Why are elevator jokes so good ? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Mother accused of murdering 2-year-old son, calling him 'devil' & 'anti-Christ': documents (news3lv.com) — Frankfort readers should know that police have identified 40-year-old Corie Walsh as the mother charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the death of her 2-year-old son. Authorities say a neighbor discovered the boy in the basement and Walsh injured in a bathtub, while local residents and police urge the community to support one another and watch for neighbors in crisis.
2. Illinois mom charged with murder in death of 2-year-old son (san.com) — Frankfort police have charged local mother Corie Walsh with three counts of first-degree murder after her 2-year-old son, known as Barrett or "Bear," was found unresponsive in their home and later pronounced dead. Court records describe a neighbor's lifesaving efforts, Walsh's apparent suicide attempt, and claims she believed her son was the "devil," while her attorney says she was experiencing a psychotic episode.
3. Lindsay Clancy Trial Texts Preceded Illinois Toddler's Death (balleralert.com) — Frankfort residents are reeling after police say a 2-year-old boy was found dead in a Brook Stone Court home Tuesday, and his mother now faces three first-degree murder charges. Court filings describe a neighbor's desperate rescue attempt, disturbing statements about the child being a "devil," and links to the high-profile Lindsay Clancy trial, while police stress the allegations haven't yet been tested in court.
4. 5 students removed from bleachers of south suburban football game for 'racist harassment' (nbcchicago.com) — Frankfort families should know that five Lincoln-Way East High School students were removed from the stands at Friday's game against Homewood-Flossmoor for what officials called racist harassment toward HF students. Both districts condemned the behavior, apologized, and say they're working with authorities and the school board on possible disciplinary and legal steps to prevent similar incidents.
