Family Feud Contestant Accused of Murdering Estranged Wife Joked About Marriage Being a Mistake Thre

Timothy Bliefnick, who is facing charges for the fatal shooting of his estranged wife, had appeared on the TV show ‘Family Feud’ three years ago. During the show, he jokingly referred to someone’s ‘biggest wedding mistake’ as likely being getting married in the first place.

Rebecca Bliefnick, 41, was discovered dead in her home in Quincy, Illinois, by a family member after she failed to pick up her three children from school.

The episode of Family Feud featuring Bliefnick was recorded in the fall of 2019 and aired in the spring of 2020 according to ABC.

Timothy Bliefnick, who was arrested Monday and charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of a home invasion, taped an episode of the ‘Feud’ back in 2019.

During the game show, Bliefnick’s response to a question about wedding mistakes was met with disapproval from host Steve Harvey. Bliefnick attempted to explain his answer, stating, ‘Not my mistake, not my mistake. I love my wife.’ Harvey humorously responded, ‘It’s going to be a lot of hell to pay at your house.’

Bliefnick’s answer turned out to be the second most common response to the question, indicating regret over marriage.

Timothy Bliefnick appeared in court on Tuesday, facing charges related to his wife’s murder and a home invasion. He did not enter a plea and is to remain in custody until his next hearing.

Prosecutors have characterized Rebecca Bliefnick’s death as an ‘act of domestic violence,’ stating that the crime was not random.

According to Assistant State’s Attorney Josh Jones, “This is an act of domestic violence. Every victim needs to be seen, heard, and believed.” He also mentioned that their focus is on pursuing justice for Rebecca Bliefnick.

While Bliefnick’s lawyer maintains his innocence, the arrest has provided some solace to Rebecca’s family. They expressed gratitude for the efforts made in seeking justice for her, highlighting the ongoing investigation and their primary focus on caring for her children.

Rebecca and Timothy Bliefnick were in the midst of divorce proceedings at the time of her death, with court records indicating their separation was filed in February 2021.
