A 33-year-old Seattle woman married to a prominent trans author and journalist has been accused of killing her sexagenarian father with an ice axe on Election Night.
Corey Burke, 33, police believe was having a meltdown on Election night when she struck, stabbed and strangled her father Timothy Burke, 67, in a dastardly attack at her $800,000 in Rainer Valley, Seattle.
Burke, a training manager at Blue Origin, the rockets and spacecraft company owned by Jeff Bezos, had admitted to killing her father on November 5, after he refused to turn off the lights, charging documents state.
After emerging from the house with blood ‘dripping’ down her face, she confessed to police that she ‘freaked out’ and said there was ‘something important about Election Day.’ 

Police say Corey Burke shattered the windows of her $800,000 home in an ‘act of liberation’ after killing her father on Nov. 5

Prosecutors say it all started as an argument about lights inside a living room,
Corey Burke reportedly told detectives that ‘she knew that she could not convince her father to keep the lights off’, so she went upstairs and retrieved the murder weapon. 
She then tripped her father and strangled him before attacking him with the ice axe. 
She proceeded to bite the victim, as well as hitting him several times in the head and side with the blunt and sharp ends of the ice axe, cops say.  His body was found in the basement.

Burke claimed she knew the killing ‘needed to happen today,’ according to a police report.
Investigators say Burke came out of the Rainier Valley home with a bloody face and appeared to be having a mental health crisis.
Apparently she had smashed several windows and later told police she did so in an ‘act of liberation’ after she killed her father. 
The police report also includes her claims that she’d been ‘reborn’ on her 33rd birthday last month. 
She initially did not police enter the home, and detectives only went in after neighbors expressed concern for her father. 
A neighbor first dialed 911 after spotting her smashing picture windows. The officer who responded to that call discovered the horror she’d unleashed inside.

Police say they recovered a bloody silver-and-blue ice climbing pick at the crime scene. The suspect initially was transported to a hospital for a mental health evaluation.
The day after the murder she reportedly whispered to one police officer, ‘I killed him.’ Going on to describe to police how her father labored to breathe after the attack, the report states,  ‘the defendant sat next to him until he stopped breathing.’
She also revealed that she had a strained relationship with her father and said she had been ‘overwhelmed’ on election day. 
Burke told cops that she wanted to help people ‘change their attachment to their parents.’

In the police report Corey Burke in her confession, allegedly expounds on how she killed her father: ‘it was really hard, really fu****g hard’, that ‘there were points where she felt she wasn’t going to be able to.’
The suspect was charged with first-degree murder on Friday and is being held on $2million bail. Her court appearance is scheduled for November 21. 
Burke purchased the home she shared with her father in 2023. Father and daughter lived in the home together, and Timothy was mostly home-bound because of health issues, neighbors said. 
Her wife, Samantha Leigh Allen, an editor at Conde Nast’s transgender news website Them, previously worked as a writer covering LGTBQ issues for The Daily Beast and Fusion media.
