Transgender killer confesses to killing parents
In a gripping interrogation video released by the Washington City Police Department, Mia Bailey recounts the events leading to the tragic shooting of her parents, a dispute that escalated over her gender transition surgery.
The video captures the chilling moment when Bailey, a transgender woman, admits to the fatal shooting of her parents, Gail and Joseph Bailey. The incident occurred in their home in Washington City, Utah, in June 2024, after the couple allegedly interfered with their child’s plans for sex reassignment surgery.
Now, nearly two years after the tragic event, the interrogation footage provides a poignant insight into the confession that shocked a community.
Mia Bailey, who has since pleaded guilty to the murders, offers a detailed account of the crime that left both parents dead, revealing the depths of a family conflict that ended in a double tragedy.

Bailey is also heard on video blaming mental health struggles for the vicious attack. Bailey told investigators that Gail tried to “sabotage” the gender transition surgery.
Bailey was born male but had undergone a name change and had been identifying as female before the attack.
This past December, Bailey was sentenced to two consecutive sentences of 25 years to life in prison after pleading guilty and mentally ill to aggravated murder and aggravated assault, according to KUTV.
