About this episode
This source documents the premeditated murder of Timothy Bradburn by his daughter, Alyssa, who meticulously planned the shooting for weeks before his return from a Hawaiian vacation. Following the 2024 killing in Spokane, Washington, Alyssa surrendered to authorities and provided a detailed confession through both her 911 call and a personal journal. The narrative highlights her unsettling courtroom behavior, specifically her tendency to smile during her trial and the subsequent announcement of her twenty-eight-year prison sentence. While the defense cited mental health struggles and neurodivergence, prosecutors emphasized the calculated nature of the crime, including her practicing at a firing range and wearing safety gear. Ultimately, the text explores the shattering of a loving family and the lack of a clear motive for such a cold and deliberate act of patricide.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/murder-files-unsealed--6017387/support.
