Lesbian Executive Murders Father with Ice Axe in Seattle

Corey Burke, a 33-year-old employee at Blue Origin, the aerospace company founded by Jeff Bezos, has been charged with the shocking murder of her father, Timothy Burke, 67. The brutal incident took place in their Seattle home on the night of the presidential election, an event that has left the community reeling.

According to the police, the tragedy unfolded when Timothy refused to comply with his daughter’s demand to turn off the lights. In a fit of rage, Corey allegedly retrieved an ice axe and launched a vicious attack on her father. The assault was described in charging documents as particularly brutal, with Corey reportedly tripping, strangling, and then striking her father multiple times with the weapon.

Witnesses report that the gruesome scene was discovered in their $800,000 home’s basement, where Timothy’s body was found. The day after the murder, Corey reportedly approached law enforcement with a blood-stained face and whispered, “I killed him.” She is said to have displayed signs of distress and mentioned feeling a spiritual awakening around the time of her birthday, suggesting a possible mental health crisis at the time of the attack.

Prior to the incident, neighbors had expressed concerns for Corey’s well-being, prompting police intervention. Corey’s actions on Election Day have led her to face first-degree murder charges, with bail set at $2 million. She is set to appear in court on November 21.

The strained relationship between Corey and her father had reportedly been exacerbated by his declining health, which confined him largely to their home. In a troubling twist, Corey’s spouse, Samantha Leigh Allen, who is an editor at a prominent transgender news website, has been discussed in the context of these events. Following the murder, Corey allegedly commented on wanting to help others “change their attachment to their parents.”

This shocking case presents a harrowing glimpse into domestic strife, mental health struggles, and the chilling consequences that can arise from a moment of rage.
