Corie Wash of Frankfort, Illinois, has been charged with first-degree murder after allegedly killing her 2-year-old son, Barrett Walsh. [1] ()The incident occurred on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, when a neighbor discovered the toddler unresponsive in the basement of the family's home. The neighbor then found Walsh upstairs in a bathtub, attempting to harm herself with a knife. According to preliminary autopsy findings, the child died from asphyxia due to ligature compression of the neck. 

[1] ()Key details surrounding the case include:The Lindsay Clancy Connection: Prosecutors revealed that Walsh had recently become highly "invested" in the high-profile Massachusetts murder trial of Lindsay Clancy—a mother accused of killing her three children while allegedly suffering from postpartum psychosis.

 Walsh was actively texting a group of friends about the Clancy case up until 12:30 PM on the day of the murder, just hours before the crime was discovered. [1] (Statements to Investigators: Court documents state that Walsh told officers she killed her son because she believed he was "the devil" and "the anti-Christ". [1] ()

Legal and Medical Status: Walsh’s defense attorney, Andrea Lyon, stated that her client was experiencing a severe "psychotic episode" during the event. Walsh was initially hospitalized for non-life-threatening injuries before being transferred to the Will County Adult Detention Facility. 

Prosecutors are seeking to deny her pretrial release, citing safety concerns and statements she allegedly made about harming her other three children and her husband. Her next court date is scheduled for Tuesday, September 8, 2026 at 9:00 AM.
