Illinois v Timothy Bliefnick

Timothy Bliefnick once made an offhand joke on a national TV game show, saying he should not have said "I do" at his wedding.  Then, in February of 2023, facing a messy divorce after a contentious separation, Timothy Bliefnick allegedly took matters into his own hands.  His wife Rebecca Bliefnick was found dead in her home by her father who had been unsuccessfulat reaching her by phone that morning.  Victim Becky had told family members before her death that if anything bad would ever happen to her, to suspect her estranged husband Timothy.​​​​
