“Experiencing A Psychotic Episode…”: First ‘Clancy Copycat?’ Mom Hangs 2-Year-Old Son
6th September 2026
A horrific copycat Lindsay Clancy murder of a child has been committed by a woman in Frankfort, Illinois.
Prosecutors say Corie Walsh hanged her 2-year-old son, Barrett, from a basement rafter on Tuesday, then tried to kill herself with a knife. She told police she did it because the boy was the “devil” and the “anti-Christ.”
Witnesses said she had become “very invested” in the Lindsay Clancy trial and was still texting friends about it hours before her son was found.
