Family Feud contestant charged with wife’s murder
A former contestant on Family Feud has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder and home invasion over the death of his estranged wife.
Timothy W. Bliefnick, 39, was charged on March 13 in relation to the suspicious death of his former spouse, Rebecca Bliefnick, 41, who was found dead in her home on February 23, according to court documents.
Bliefnick appeared on the game show in January 2020, and host Steve Harvey asked him, “What’s the biggest mistake you made at your wedding?”
“Honey, I love you, but, ‘said I do,’” he responded, prompting a mixed reaction from the audience.
“Not my mistake, not my mistake," he continued.
”I love my wife. I'm gonna get in trouble for that, aren't I?"
After Fox News Digital discovered the clip, Bliefnick’s attorney said, "It's a game show. A silly answer to a silly question on a silly show doesn't make one a murderer.”
KHQA-TV reported that Bliefnick and his wife were married in 2009, but at the time of her death the pair were undergoing divorce proceedings after having been separated for “several years”. After the couple separated they filed restraining orders against each other.
Bliefnick’s attorney Casey Schnack told E! News that he plans to plead not guilty at his next court hearing.
