Prosecutors obtained text messages between the two from April 22, 2025, the night before all her phone activity went quiet and they believe she was killed.
“The messages reveal the victim’s jealousy over defendant’s relationships with other women, as defendant led her to believe they had a future together. She became extremely upset and threatened to disclose damaging information about her relationship with defendant to end his career and destroy his life,” the document says.
The document says Burke bought two chainsaws online that he used to cut apart her body in an inflatable pool. They said the girl’s DNA was found in his garage, where they allege the dismemberment occurred.
