The Family Feud Murderer Who Went On TV With His Victim

The Family Feud murderer appeared with his wife on the daytime game show led by Steve Harvey, whose episode aired in January 2020. Standing in front of the host of the show, which often goes live for a variety of insulting and “censored” moments, Bliefnick responded to one of Harvey’s inquiries by saying that he regrets saying “I do” at his and Becky’s wedding.

While that was initially perceived as an awkwardly humorous remark, the moment now feels haunting, given Tim Bliefnick’s recent conviction.

Fast-forward to the beginning months of 2023, and 41-year-old Becky’s lifeless body was discovered on the bathroom floor of her home in Quincy, Illinois, by her own father. Later reports stated that she was shot 14 times and that none of the wounds were immediately fatal, though it’s not clear whether or not she maintained consciousness in her final moments.

Becky’s three sons weren’t home at the time of the murder, as they were staying with their father, the Family Feud murderer, about a mile away.

Initially, The Family Feud murderer claimed that he couldn’t reach his estranged wife, after which he contacted her father since their relationship had grown strained over the years, leading to a rather contentious divorce, with battles over custody and finances.

Ultimately, the police didn’t have to search much for their prime suspect; investigators found troubling text messages Tim had sent Becky, surveillance videos showed a person riding a bike near her residence, and a similar bike was found close to The Family Feud murderer’s house. There was also DNA evidence.

The most damaging evidence was The Family Feud murderer’s web search inquiry. Apparently, Tim Bliefnick made online search inquiries for stuff like homemade silencers and instructions on cleaning the gunpowder residue of his hands.

Additionally, the pieces of plastic that were found near Becky’s body were identified as shreds of supermarket grocery bags, similar to those later found at Tim’s house. However, the final nail in the Family Feud murderer’s proverbial coffin was the 27 spent shell casings found in Tim’s house that matched those found at the crime scene.

The evidence presented to the jury left little doubt, leading to a guilty verdict. As previously stated, the Family Feud murderer has been sentenced to life in prison, while his and Becky’s three sons are now living with Becky’s parents.

The friends and family of the victim have started a GoFundMe campaign to support the boys and are determined to preserve Becky’s legacy by helping others recognize the signs of domestic violence. Tim Bliefnick later reflected on his comment made on Steve Harvey’s show, stating that it wasn’t made with any malice or bad intentions.
