The Smiling Confession: How Alyssa Bradburn Planned Her Father's Death
In June 2024, 68-year-old Timothy Bradburn flew home from Hawaii to fix a leaking roof at his Spokane, Washington house. He walked through the front door holding his suitcase and his keys, and he never set them down.
His daughter Alyssa had been planning this for three weeks. She practiced at a gun range. She wrote a journal detailing exactly what she intended to do and left it on the table for police to find. She told her father she was sick so he would walk in worried about her. She put on safety glasses and earplugs. And then she waited.
What followed was one of the most psychologically layered parricide cases in recent Pacific Northwest history: a story of a family that gave everything to a daughter who stayed, repressed memories that may or may not have been real, and a woman who smiled through her own murder trial and said she enjoyed the experience.T
his is the Alyssa Bradburn case. And the detail that reframes everything is what her father told her brother before he ever came home.
