A biological man who identifies as a female and was sentenced to 40 years in prison for murdering his parents in 2016 is now listed as a female with the Maine Department of Corrections (MDOC).
Andrew T. Balcer, 24, was originally listed as male in MDOC documents after he was convicted on murder charges in 2018, but state records were recently amended to list Balcer as an inmate, according to Reduxx.
Balcer, who also goes by Andrea, was convicted in 2018 of the 2016 Halloween stabbing deaths of his parents.
Balcer told authorities that he “ripped” them and killed them because of his gender identity issues. Balcer reportedly woke up her mother, Alice, the night he murdered her and told her that she was having trouble sleeping.

When Alice Balcer tried to comfort him, he stabbed her in the back nine times, killing her. Balcer also murdered her father, Antonio, and his pet Chihuahua, Lily. He forgave his older brother and told her “it’s not your day” before allowing her to run away.
Balcer reportedly laughed as he confessed his crimes to a police officer over the phone. He himself had called 911 to report the murders.

Balcer, who also goes by Andrea, was convicted in 2018 of the 2016 Halloween stabbing deaths of his parents.
“I snapped. I took my little Ka-Bar [military combat knife] there, and nailed it right into my mother’s back,” Balcer said. “My father came over because he heard his screams and I stabbed him. Oh, I also killed the dog. He was barking.”
Balcer, who is 6’1″, was listed as a male in September, according to records on file with MDOC.
It is not yet clear what accommodations Balcer will receive as an inmate, and MDOC did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment by press time.

In 2020, MDOC Commissioner Randell Liberty implemented a policy requiring state correctional facilities to provide clothing that aligns with an inmate’s gender identity, including push-up bras and chest girdles.

As a result, Balcer is eligible to receive a push-up bra and other medical fittings that would give the appearance of breasts.
