Andrew Balcer (Andrea Balcer ) Case
A biological male who identifies as a woman and was sentenced to 40 years in prison for murdering his parents in 2016 is now listed as female by the Maine Department of Corrections (MDOC).
Andrew T. Balcer, 24, was originally listed as male in MDOC documents after being convicted of murder charges in 2018, but state records were recently altered to list Balcer as a female inmate, according to Reduxx.
Balcer, who also goes by Andrea, was convicted in 2018 for the 2016 Halloween stabbing deaths of his parents.
Balcer told authorities that he “snapped” and killed them because of his gender identity struggles. According to reports, Balcer woke his mother, Alice, on the night he murdered her and told her that he was having trouble sleeping.
When Alice Balcer tried to comfort him, he stabbed her in the back nine times, killing her. Balcer also murdered his father, Antonio, and their pet Chihuahua, Lily. He spared his older brother, telling him, “It’s not your day” before allowing him to flee.
Balcer reportedly laughed while confessing his crimes to a police officer over the phone. He had called 911 himself to report the murders.
“I snapped. I took my little Ka-Bar [military combat knife] there, and I drove it straight into my mother’s back,” Balcer said. “My father came up because he heard her screams and I stabbed the f— out of him. Oh, I killed the dog, too. It was barking.”
Balcer, who stands at 6’1″, was listed as male as recently as September, according to archived MDOC records.
What accommodations Balcer will receive as a female inmate remain unclear, and MDOC did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment by time of publication.
In 2020, MDOC Commissioner Randell Liberty implemented a policy requiring state-run correctional facilities to provide clothing items that align with an inmate’s gender identity, including push-up bras and chest binders.
As a result, Balcer is eligible to receive a push-up bra and other medical accommodations that would give the appearance of breasts.
Andrew Balcer (Andrea Balcer) News
A mother and father were killed two years ago by their teenager who has now been sentenced to 40 years in prison for their deaths.
20-year-old Andrea Balcer pleaded guilty as part of a deal with prosecutors.
On Halloween night in 2016, Balcer called 9-1-1 to say he had stabbed his parents and the family dog.
Balcer is transgender, formerly called Andrew, and was 17 at the time of the crime.
In court Tuesday, Balcer asked for forgiveness from her family.
“Though no one may believe me, I am truly sorry for what I have done,” said Balcer. “I’ve killed my parents. And I know that no amount of repenting will ever bring me true forgiveness for that.”
Walter McKee, Defense Attorney said, “I would have liked to see a lesser sentence, but under the circumstances, two murders, all the problems with the case, 40 years on balance is not that bad.”
“Today was about trying to do justice for Alice and Antonio Balcer. We did the best we could in that sense. As I said, we are disappointed in the sentence that was imposed, but you make your call and the judge makes his call,” said Bud Ellis of the prosecution.
Balcer had said his parents Alice and Antonio Balcer weren’t supportive of his transition from male to female and abused him.
Family and friends disputed any notion the parents weren’t supportive of Andrea.
Carl Pierce, Alice’s brother, said the suggestion that gender identity played a role was an insult to the parents’ memory.
