A transgender teen will today admit killing her parents after claiming they refused to accept her decision to transition.

Andrea Balcer, 19, is set to plead guilty to plunging a hunting knife into her mom Alice’s back on the morning of Halloween 2016 at a hearing Wednesday afternoon.

She will also admit killing father Antonio after he woke up to the sound of his wife’s screams, as well as the family’s pet chihuahua at their home in Winthrop, Me.

A disturbing 911 call played during an earlier court hearing last year saw Balcer laugh as she told the call operator what she had done to her father, saying ‘I stabbed the fuck out of him.’




Balcer, who is being tried under her birth name Andrew, says she ‘snapped’ because of the lack of support shown to her by her parents since telling them she was trans at the age of three or four.

Recalling that conversation, she told the Kennebec Journal: ‘I wanted to grow up and be a woman.

‘They kind of sat me down and told me and kind of physically forced into me that that was something that was not acceptable.

Balcer added: ‘I spent however many years being raised as a boy, as a man.

‘It was drilled into me what men do, what they’re supposed to be.

‘I was never raised the way I wanted to be.

‘So I am conflicted between the person that I was raised to be and the person who I want to be.’

Despite being a month shy of her 18th birthday when the killings took place, Balcer is being tried as an adult.

After her arrest, a State forensic psychologist testified that Balcer had gender identity issues and that the killer ‘did not believe (her) parents would be supportive.’

Balcer has also claimed that her mother sexually abused her, claiming Alice Balcer had propositioned her moments before he knifed her to death.

She explained: ‘She hugged me and she whispered in my ear “Do you want me to make everything better?”

‘And I think that was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

‘I must have been having a nightmare of all the things that had happened to me up till then.’

But Balcer’s brother Christopher – the only surviving member of her immediate family – called the sexual abuse allegations absurd.

Christopher Balcer also insisted his parents would have been supportive of Andrea’s transition, despite her claims to the contrary.
