Teen accused of murdering sister says she ‘would have killed someone sooner’ to get McDonald’s breakfast: police

Sixteen-year-old Claire Miller allegedly stabbed her disabled older sister with a knife at their Manheim Township, Penn. home in 2021.

On Tuesday, a hearing was held to determine whether Miller would be tried as an adult, and it was then that police revealed what she had said.

As the New York Post reports, Manheim Township police officer John Martin explained that Miller was provided with McDonald's the morning after the crime was committed.

Upon receiving her breakfast, Martin claims she said, "Oooh, McDonald's. I would have killed someone sooner if I knew I was going to get McDonald’s."

Martin also pointed out that Miller's ringtone was the theme song from the movie "Halloween," adding that while she was in her detention cell, her phone went off, and she admitted to police that she "Michael Myers-ed" her sister, who suffered from cerebral palsy and was wheelchair-bound.

During the hearing, psychiatrists testified arguing that Miller "suffered from psychosis, depression and anxiety," and claimed to have heard voices the night of the murder.

As the Post reports, Miller's parents are hoping that their daughter does not end up in jail.

"We love both of them," Miller's mother said, referring to her and her deceased sister, Helen. "I know Claire did not mean to do this. We lost Helen and we don't want to lose Claire too."

"We don't want her to be punished, not get help and be put away for a long period for something that was out of her control."

In Pennsylvania, all homicide cases are automatically sent to adult courts, but defendants have the ability to petition that they be tried as juveniles.
