Corey Burke was charged with the first-degree murder of her 67-year-old father Timothy. She confessed to the murder, explaining that 'she had tried to help him deal with his emotions'

A successful spacecraft company executive married to a famous transgender writer and journalist suffered a serious mental health crisis when she slaughtered her father on election night, a chilling police report has revealed.

Corey Burke, 33, was arrested last week on murder charges after her neighbor called police and reported that she had smashed all the windows of the Seattle home she shared with her ailing father, 67-year-old father Timothy Burke.

The neighbor told police that they texted Burke — who works for Bezos’ rocket start-up Blue Origin — to ask if he was okay, and that Burke replied, “You just have to do it.”

Officers found a creepy scene when they arrived at Burke’s front door, with shards of glass littering the front yard and driveway and a mysterious crashing sound coming from the house.

But they had no idea of ​​the horror they would find inside the Rainier Valley home when a blood-soaked Burke emerged with her hands up and a panicked demeanor, according to charging documents obtained by DailyMail.com.

The training manager for Jeff Bezos’ space company told an officer that she was sick, had not eaten and that her mouth was dry. The officer noted that Burke was breathing rapidly and that she was pacing as she spoke.

She reportedly asked for water repeatedly and denied anyone else was in the house. When asked what the clapping sounded like inside, Burke replied that she had been clapping because she was happy, “so she started clapping.”

Burke, who is married to author Samantha Leigh Allen, subsequently claimed she was dating someone named Ben Dijkstra but had not seen him in four years.

She then admitted to breaking the windows of her house, but added that she did not know how or where the blood on her face came from.

Burke did not allow police to enter before she tried to walk away from the scene, saying she needed to go to the hospital. The officer noted that “Corey did not appear fit to care for herself, and that she posed a danger to property and herself” and an ambulance was called to take her to the hospital for mental evaluation.

It wasn’t until Burke was driven from the scene that neighbors told officers they were concerned about her father, who lived with her and had several illnesses that left him largely housebound.

In the basement of the house, the officers found Timothy’s butchered body. He had multiple lacerations on his left side, back, head and ears. Officers noticed what appeared to be a bite wound on his back.

Timothy’s body showed the cruelty he suffered: there were cuts two inches deep in his ribcage and signs of asphyxiation. He also had several circular bruises on the back of his head, as well as several curved puncture wounds.

A bloody silver and blue ice pick ax was then found on the living room floor at the top of the stairs.

The officers then went to the hospital to take Burke into custody and question her. When asked if she knew who the president was, Burke replied the day after the election, “Well, now the president is going to be Donald Trump.”

Burke’s face and hair were covered in caked blood when she reportedly confessed to killing her father after he refused to turn off the lights in the house.

Burke cried as she claimed she was overwhelmed by her father’s emotions and became upset when she said, “She thought she had acted too quickly.”

She added that she simply “panicked” while arguing with Timothy about the lights before tripping and unleashing the ice pick attack.

Burke then whispered chillingly, “will it help?…I killed him.”

The alleged killer described the gruesome murder in detail, explaining how she used the ice pick to hit and strangle her father, biting him while strangling him “because he was too strong.”

Burke said she “strangled him, and it was very hard, very damn hard” and there were points where she felt “she couldn’t do that.”

The killer then said she felt better when her father “went soft.”

She then hit him on the head several times with the axe, sat next to her father’s body and watched him until he stopped breathing. Burke then went upstairs and began smashing the windows of the house “as an act of liberation,” she told police.

Burke said she had a strained relationship with her father, whom she described as “overwhelmed,” adding that she had worked on “setting boundaries with her father about his emotions.”

She then chillingly stated that she “knew it had to happen today and “knew there was something important about Election Day.” She explained that she had just been “reborn on her 33rd birthday” last month.

The alleged killer went on to say that she “wanted to help people change their attachment to their parents,” but felt “hyper-focused and disorganized when it came to her own attachment to her father.”

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.

She bought the house she shared with her father in 2023 for $800,000 with a $540,000 mortgage.

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.
