Overview
- Newly public police footage, recorded in June 2024 and aired by KUTV, shows Mia (Collin Troy) Bailey calmly confessing to killing parents Joseph and Gail and saying, “I don’t regret it.”
- Bailey told investigators the motive was a dispute over a planned gender-affirming surgery, alleging the mother tried to stop it, which is Bailey’s account from the interrogation.
- In the video, Bailey describes buying a gun at a pawn shop and firing about a dozen rounds inside the family home, including a shot through a closed door toward a brother.
- Police captured Bailey after an hours-long manhunt in Washington County; Bailey pleaded guilty in November 2025 and received two 25-years-to-life sentences in December 2025.
- Coverage notes Bailey is now held in Utah’s state prison system, with outlets across the spectrum highlighting either the confessed lack of remorse or the stated mental-health and surgery dispute, and many details come directly from the interrogation tape.
