CBS’s 48 Hours September 30, 2023 episode, “The Game Show and the Murder,” examines the murder of Becky Bliefnick and the subsequent conviction of her estranged husband, Tim. Bliefnick continues to claim he didn’t kill his wife, and the September 30th episode features his first TV interview since being found guilty.
Tim Bliefnick appeared on Family Feud in 2019 and delivered a controversial answer to a question that he now contends was just a joke. When asked by Family Feud‘s host Steve Harvey to name the biggest mistake he made at his wedding, Bliefnick replied, “Honey, I love you but said ‘I do.'”
Bliefnick told 48 Hours correspondent Erin Moriarty the answer wasn’t delivered with malice. “It was supposed to be funny,” claims Bliefnick.
Tim and Becky Bliefnick were separated for two years at the time of Becky’s murder in February 2023. Becky was shot multiple times, and prosecutors Josh Jones and Laura Keck believe the evidence of Tim’s guilt is rock solid. “The detectives followed the evidence exactly where it took them,” states Jones. “And there was one inescapable conclusion, that it was Mr. Bliefnick.”
Becky’s sister, Sarah Reilly, agrees with the jury’s guilty verdict. “As agonizing as our pain is,” says Reilly, “I want him to understand that his worst crime was against his children.”
However, Tim claims that the thought of murdering the mother of his kids is not “any part of who I am.” Becoming emotional during his interview with Moriarty, Tim admits he misses his kids and wants them to know that he loves them.
“I’m innocent. I didn’t kill Becky,” says Tim.
“The Game Show and the Murder” episode airs on September 30th at 10pm ET/PT.
