February 23, 2023, Quincy, Illinois. Becky Bliefnick is home alone at her house on Kentucky Road when an intruder breaks in through the second story window. Chased down a hallway and trapped inside the master bathroom, Becky is shot 14 times and will suffer for minutes lying in the dark, waiting to die. The would-be assailant took nothing from the home—only Becky's life. Who would do such a thing? She was a beautiful, brilliant nurse and mother of three. But she was in the middle of a contentious and ugly divorce. A divorce from a man who once gave a game show answer to the biggest mistake on your wedding day as I do. This is Becky and Tim Bliefnick.

Happy Valentines Day, Twisted Listeners! This week, we're doing a vaguely 'romantic' topic - husbands who did not, in fact, kill their wives! These cases are all very sad, very wild, and VERY angering! There's nothing quite as troubling as hearing about a person who spent years of their lives in prison for a crime they clearly did not commit, and even in cases where the accused were lucky enough to stay out of prison, the toll the accusation takes can be life ruining, to say the least. Luckily, at least in most of these cases, there is a somewhat happy ending, though truly, how happy can you be that our justic system is so rigged that this can happen, over and over? Sometimes you truly have no control over your fate, but definitely try your best to stay off this list - on both sides of the story! Cases Covered:1. Michael Morton2.

Woodcock.The March Of The Women, by Ethel Smythe, is performed by the Rainbow Chorus.English Folk Music (live performance) recorded by David Ward and the Gibraltar Pub in Harpenden, Herts, and available on YouTube.
