Current Information: Born with a rare blood disease that was damaging her organs and making her system weak, Burke was given an injection that was mistakenly sent from a medical testing facility in New Zealand. The injection turned Burke's originally Chesnutt brown hair white, although it healed her. Because of the doctor's mistake, Burke's parents were warned about possible side effects such as hallucinations, future issues with strong emotions such as anger, and problems with memory.
By age six, Burke's parents forced her into a mental health facility for allegedly "talking to the walls". Although no psychological problems were found with the child, Burke's parents refused to let her be discharged. In 1995, nine year old Burke made accusations against Dr. Eli Cameron, who was caring for Burke, to a social worker for physical and sexual abuse. When an investigation confirmed the alleged abuse case, Dr. Cameron's employment was terminated.
By age thirteen, Burke was released to her father, Damien Burke. Her mother left the home shortly after Burke was released. Her whereabouts are unknown. Police were called many times to the Burke residence for loud parties and disturbances. While no signs of physical abuse or neglect were present in the household, an officer described Burke as a "very desensitized little girl", often found sitting in her room playing music, seemingly oblivious to the situation while police were breaking up fights. Burke's father, convinced that she was mentally incompetent, sent her to many psychiatrists over the years, all of them finding no serious psychological problems besides clinical depression and an addictive personality.
At fourteen, Burke became addicted to heroin with best friend (possible boyfriend), Sam Miller. She spent most of her time after schools at parties or drug houses with Miller, although she remained in school and got good grades. Her average was a B-. Burke attempted suicide in January 2002 at the age of 16, taking over forty of her anti-depressant pills. Sam Miller found her and called an ambulance, saving Burke's life. After becoming clean in 2004, Burke changed her name to Lennon Burke and got a job at a bar, where she was a waitress and regular musical act with best friend Sam Miller. Burke and Miller's musical group Queen Marie's Execution was rated one of the top local groups for many years, opening for some of the big name acts that came to New York.
After a domestic disturbance at Burke's home in 2006 which left Burke with a long burn scar from a hot fire poker, a broken nose, and bruises around the throat from being choked, her father was arrested and Burke moved out of the house. Three years later in 2009, her father was evicted and Burke allowed him to stay with her.
In 2010, Burke got a job as a mechanic, quitting her job as a waitress, but continued to play at bars with Sam Miller.
