Dateline NBC‘s upcoming episode will delve into Becky Bliefnick’s murder by her estranged husband, Timothy Bliefnick. The all-new episode titled “Ghost Rider” airs on the channel this Thursday, November 2, 2023, at 10 p.m. ET.
Earlier this year, in February, 41-year-old Illinois nurse Becky was shot 14 times in her own home. She had expressed concerns that if something happened to her, the estranged husband, Timothy, would be “the No. 1 person of interest.” The couple were reportedly going through a contentious divorce at the time.
According to People Magazine, Timothy Bliefnick, who once appeared in an episode of Family Feud, he stood trial in May 2023. A jury found him guilty of first-degree murder and home invasion, following which he was handed a life sentence.
Where is Becky Bliefnick’s killer Timothy Bliefnick now?
Timothy Bliefnick is currently serving a life sentence at the Menard Correctional Center, as per Illinois Department of Corrections. In May 2023, a jury convicted him of shooting his estranged wife Rebecca “Becky” Bliefnick 14 times. Judge Robert Adrian handed the convicted murderer a life sentence without parole in August 2023.
During his trial, prosecutors alleged that he killed Becky after seeing another man’s car parked outside her house on February 14, 2023. The 41-year-old’s sister also testified that she received an incriminating text message from her. It read, “If something ever happens to me, make sure the No. 1 person of interest is Tim [Timothy].”
According to Fox News, the former Family Feud contestant and his 42-year-old nurse wife were separated and going through a contentious divorce.
Prosecutors claimed that Timothy Bliefnick, who lived at least a mile away from Becky’s house, broke into her home through a second-story window and shot her 14 times at close range. The victim’s father found her dead body on the bathroom floor on February 23, 2023.
The outlet reported that the prosecution further alleged that the accused searched for ways to commit the crime on Google before executing the murder. He reportedly rode a bicycle to her house and forced open the window using a crowbar. Once inside, he shot her dead. Police arrested Timothy two weeks later, on March 13, 2023.
