A Utah woman arrested for the murders of her parents reportedly told police she hated them and “would do it again.”

Mia Bailey, 28, allegedly shot and killed Joseph and Gail Bailey at their home in Washington City Tuesday night, KSL reported. Her brother fled the home after the shooting and called 911 from a neighbor’s house.

Police launched a search, saying Bailey was considered armed and dangerous, as CrimeOnline reported.

Just before 1 a.m. on Wednesday, police received a report that Bailey was in the area of Horseman Park, KSL said. They quickly found her walking north through the was, but when they ordered her to stop, she took a gun from waistband and held it to her head. She continued to walk away from police, who lost sight of her i nthe “thick brush in the wash/ravine,” an arrest report says.

At about 8 a.m., police were told Bailey may have been found an area near St. George’s new Latter Day Saints temple, and that’s where they found her, taking her into custody at about 10:30 a.m.

She has been charged with two counts of aggravated murder, attempted aggravated murder, seven counts of shooting a gun, and aggravated burlary.

According to the arrest report, Bailey told police “that she did not have remorse for her actions and that she would not change what she had done. Mia stated, ‘I would do it again. I hate them.'”

“Mia told officers that she went to the residence with the intent to kill her parents,” the report says.

A neighbor’s security camera captured Bailey’s arrival and departure in her yellow Kia Soul at her parents’ home. She provided officers with vivid detail of the murders, saying “that she entered the house and almost immediately began shooting at her mother.”

“Mia stated that her father … heard the shots and began walking toward her,” the affidavit says. “Mia stated that she shot her father in the head and that he immediately dropped to the ground.”

She went back downstairs, she said, then returned to fire more shots at her fater “to make sure that he was dead.” She did the same to her mother.

Then, she said, she fired a shot into the door of the bedroom where her brother had locked himself inside.

“Mia stated that her brother was not her main target, but she would not have been sad had the gunshot killed him,” the report says.

When police arrived at the scene, they found multiple shell casings on the first floor along with the body of Gail Bailey, who was shot four times. Joseph Bailey’s body was found in the hallway leading to the master bedroom, shot twice.

The arrest affidavit also says that Bailey “bragged about her ability to avoid the efforts of law enforcement to find her” while she was running from them.

“Mia describes jumping fences or walls, hiding in bushes, sleeping in a park bathroom, and other efforts to elude law enforcement … including evading officers, hiding from helicopters and hiding from drones,” the affidavit says.

KSL reported that Bailey was granted a petition in district court to change her name and gender in August 2023. The court order said “the petition is supported by clear and convincing objective evidence of appropriate clinical care or treatment for gender transitioning or change, provided by a licensed medical professional” and that “there is clear and convincing evidence (Bailey) has transitioned to the sex sought in the petition in a consistent and uniform manner for at least six months.”
