A 911 dispatcher allegedly told emergency responders that the calling party stabbed the mother to save herself, suggesting that the suspect may have phoned for help after allegedly stabbing Avers in self-defense.
Mock, who was most recently employed as a data management consultant, was charged with first-degree murder and is accused in the criminal complaint of "unlawfully, intentionally, and with premeditation" killing her elderly parent.
The investigation is ongoing.
