Power lesbian Corey Burke murders her father with an ice axe in Election Night meltdown at Seattle home

A Blue Origin employee married to a prominent transgender author has been accused of killing her elderly father with an ice ax on election night.

Corey Burke, 33, allegedly beat, stabbed and strangled her father, 67-year-old Timothy Burke, during a fatal attack on her $800,000 Seattle home on November 5.

Burke, a training manager at Jeff Bezos’ rocket and space company, confessed to killing her father after he refused to turn off the lights, according to charging documents seen by DailyMail.com.

After emerging from the house with blood “dripping” down her face, she admitted to police that she “freaked out” and said there was “something big about Election Day.”

Burke reportedly told detectives that “she knew she couldn’t convince her father to keep the lights off,” so she went upstairs and got the murder weapon.

She then tripped her father and strangled him before attacking him with the ice axe.

Burke, who bought the house in 2023 with a $540,000 mortgage, then bit him and hit him several times in the head and side with the blunt and sharp ends of the ice axe, police say. His body was found in the basement.

Burke claimed she knew the murder “had to happen today,” according to a police report.

Investigators say Burke emerged from the Rainier Valley home with a bloodied face and appeared to be having a mental health crisis.

Burke apparently smashed several windows and later told police she did so in an “act of liberation” after killing her father.

The police report also includes her claims that she was “reborn” on her 33rd birthday last month.

Initially, police did not allow entry into the home, and detectives only went in after neighbors raised concerns about her father.

A neighbor first called 911 after noticing her broken windows. The officer who responded to that call discovered the horror she had unleashed within.

Police say they found a bloody silver and blue ice climbing pickaxe at the crime scene.

Burke was initially taken to a hospital for a mental health evaluation.

The day after the murder, she allegedly whispered to a police officer: “I killed him.”

She also apparently told police that while her father struggled to breathe after the attack, “the defendant sat next to him until he stopped breathing.”

Burke added that she had a strained relationship with her father and said she was “overwhelmed” on Election Day.

She added that she wanted to help people “change their attachment to their parents.”

According to police documents, Burke allegedly described how she killed her father, saying “it was really hard, really damn hard” and “there were points where she felt like she couldn’t do that.”

Burke was charged Friday with first-degree murder and is being held on $2 million bond.

She is scheduled to appear in court on November 21.

Neighbors told police that father and daughter lived in the house together and that Timothy was largely homebound due to health problems.

In 2023, she bought the house she shared with her father.

Her wife, Samantha Leigh Allen, is an editor at Conde Nast’s transgender news website Them.

Allen previously worked as a writer on LGTBQ issues for The Daily Beast and Fusion media outlets.
