Illinois mother charged with murder in death of 2-year-old son in case drawing comparions to Lindsay Clancy

An Illinois woman has been charged with three counts of murder in the death of her 2-year-old son in a case that has already drawn comparisons to the Lindsay Clancy trial, authorities confirmed.

Corie A. Walsh, 40, was being held for medical treatment on Friday after she was found with wounds believed to be self-inflicted but non-life-threatening when police responded to her home Tuesday, the Frankfort Police Department said in a news release.

Frankfort is about 36 miles southwest of Chicago.
