Harrowing Murder of Mother Becky Bliefnick | Killers Caught On Camera | Forensic Files

Julia: This time on Killers Caught on Camera. In Illinois, a father discovers his daughter dead.
Woman: I can still feel in my chest how brutal and cruel her murder was. Julia: As cameras catch a stalker in the night.
- Was this the act of a prowler? There was nothing taken from the house. Julia: And in the UK, a night out with friends
ends in murder. Man: An off-duty officer heard what he described as the most horrendous screaming he'd
ever heard in his life. [tense music] Man: It just sounds like something bad is happening to her.
Woman: We know what happened because the video tells us what happened. Man: I heard some gunshots.
- I need to get rid of the gun. - Man, that's good. Man: The camera doesn't lie.
Julia: In the United States, Illinois, the city of Quincy. Bryan: Quincy, it's on the Mississippi River.
We're about two hours or so north of St. Louis, Missouri. - I always describe it as kind of an island, definitely
has a small-town vibe. That's why it draws, I think, families in to-- to this area.
Julia: One of those families was the Bliefnicks, Becky and her husband, Tim, and their three young boys.
- Becky was really almost an ideal mom. And it really just brought her joy. She had the most memorable laugh.
[laughter] She really loved life and loved her family. - Hi. Shannon: Becky and I met in first grade.
She's what I feel like most of us aspire to be or aspire for our daughters to be,
that kindness, but then also just fiercely strong, competitive, and extremely intelligent.
Julia: But Becky's father's faith in humanity was severely tested in February 2023.
[phone ringing] Sarah: My mom was calling, and she was hysterical. And all she could say was Becky's dead.
Becky's dead. We don't know anything. It was like everything else in the world had stopped.
[tense music] ♪ ♪ Bryan: When I arrived at the scene, I saw Becky's body. You could see that she had been shot multiple times.
The total number of wounds was 14. There were more than one to a hand to suggest
a defensive posture. Many of those shots were when Becky was laying on her back on the ground.
I could see that her-- her phone was on the floor behind the door. Julia: Becky's phone revealed she knew she was in danger.
Nick: Moments before the murder happened, Becky tried to dial 91126 as if her fingers just
got pushed across the phone right at the end. Julia: The last activity on Becky's phone
gave detectives an exact time of death at 1:11 AM. Josh: Our suspect pool was as wide as the world.
We had absolutely no idea who had been involved, and we started looking at that point for whatever evidence
we could gather. - There were multiple shell casings that were found around the body of Becky Bliefnick.
Bryan: Interspersed with were all the shell casings were, we noticed fragments and shreds of a plastic bag.
So those stuck out right away as something that was important. Julia: While crime scene investigators
worked on Becky's home, detectives broadened the search for clues. - I directed multiple officers to start
scouring the area close to Becky's house looking for video surveillance. Nick: A neighbor had video surveillance
from their security camera system. They did not have any footage of the night of the murder.
However, they did have footage of a person walking down their driveway the night before.
Time stamp on here is 1:20 in the morning. We see this individual, and you can't
see if it's a male or female, but this person appears to be looking around. They're walking somewhat methodically.
♪ ♪ So this is that same camera view in the daylight. And then obviously, you can see those windows in the back.
Julia: In the top right corner of the security video, investigators spotted a crucial detail, a broken window.
Bryan: It was obvious that the perpetrator had climbed onto the roof and had forced entry to the house
by this back window. The window broke during the entry. It perhaps made enough noise to alert
Becky, who had been able to shut her bedroom door, but it was obvious from the damage to the door
that we observed that the perpetrator had forced that door in. - I don't think there's any words
to describe how that feels to know that your sister was shot 14 times in her own home, running
away and trying to hide. Josh: It was clearly a break-in. Was this the act of a prowler?
It didn't seem like it was a random event. There was nothing taken from the house.
Julia: The scene left clues about a potential relationship between Becky and the person who murdered her.
This crime scene does not indicate someone who is committing a burglary and it's gone wrong.
The perpetrator doesn't choose the easiest window to break into. The perpetrator has actually gone up a floor.
It feels like there's something going on here that is about Becky and that this person is targeting
Becky specifically, which also suggests that it would be someone she has met before.
She was shot 14 times, which is way more than you need. And that, to me, speaks of someone who is either
out to kill or at the very least, once they've made up their mind, they are going to make sure she's dead.
Detectives had another look at the timeline on the security footage and made an unsettling discovery.
♪ ♪ - We went back a couple of weeks, and we found again a random prowler on that video.
Julia: The prowler had spied on Becky's house on Valentine's Day. - Are they going on a practice run?
Are they starting to plan to do it and then something stops them from doing it? There's a lot of questions when you look at the video.
Julia: Detectives went back through Becky's personal life to try and find some answers.
Bryan: In cases like this, the current domestic partner or the former domestic partner are obviously people of interest.
Nick: We start to dissect Becky's life, and then we soon discovered she was getting divorced from her husband,
and it was a difficult divorce. Julia: Becky met Tim at Quincy University. Becky studied biological sciences,
and Tim was doing business studies. Sarah: He was able to have a conversation with anybody.
They were both college athletes. They both were very into fitness and well-being.
They had been dating for a little while, and their relationship was relatively quick moving.
Julia: Becky and Tim got married in 2009 and had three boys. Sarah: Becky was thinking about being a doctor,
but her number-one passion in her life was to have a family. So she initially put that dream on hold.
- Cheese. - He was the primary breadwinner of the family, and he did very well. He was a six-figure income.
Julia: But being parents created challenges for the couple, especially when Becky went back to her career
in nursing against Tim's wishes. Shannon: Things had changed between Becky and Tim.
Most of the burden of child rearing was falling to her. Sarah: We kind of laughed in a not funny way about Becky
being a single, married mother because Tim spent so much time away from the house.
And even when they had three kids and she was trying to balance a career, he did not help in any way.
Julia: Becky and Tim announced their separation in February 2021. Sarah: Tim had made her feel worthless for so long.
He criticized her parenting abilities, her cleaning of the house, and he was especially critical of her body
and frequently called her fat and worthless. Becky was relieved when he finally did move out.
- What we have here is a pretty classic case of coercive control, of psychological manipulation.
With the control that Tim was already exerting over Becky, the question, of course, is how does a person
like this, who's already psychologically controlling the other person, who's already made
the other person financially dependent and is really curating their life and controlling their life, how is Tim going
to behave during a divorce? And unfortunately, what we often see with perpetrators of this kind of intimate partner
violence is that you see either the behavior continue or it escalates. - Tim was making her life miserable
in every possible way. You know, the divorce process dragged on and on and on. His stipulations were that he would not have to pay
child support or alimony. He would file continuances to bleed her of money. Their divorce process was nearly $40,000 that
she had to go into debt for in order to just end her marriage. I think he was just trying to get her
to a point where she couldn't take it anymore and-- and would-- and would give him what he wanted.
And she was not that type of person. Julia: No DNA, fingerprints, or witnesses placed Tim at the scene of Becky's murder.
So investigators turned to a camera near Tim's home. Bryan: We obtained video from Quincy Public School
System's bus storage lot. Laura: So we can see it's about 12:55 in the morning the night
of the murder, February 23. And all of a sudden, we see motion coming. And then there's a person on a bike
heading towards Becky's house. You can tell the person is on a bike, but you certainly can't tell who it is.
Julia: Moments later, the mysterious cyclist was caught on camera biking in the opposite direction
from Becky's house. The footage was recorded just minutes after she attempted to call 911 to report the break-in.
Bryan: We saw what appeared to be the same individual on the same bike. One thing that we noticed while reviewing the video
is that there were no reflectors in the wheels of the bicycle. - As we continued the investigation,
though, it became clear that there was only one person that Becky was really scared of.
Sarah: Becky had said something along the lines of if anything were to happen to me,
the first person of interest should be Tim. Julia: Becky's messages to friends revealed her increasing concerns about Tim's behavior.
[tense music] ♪ ♪ Sarah: I had asked her to go to our local domestic violence shelter, but there's very little
that a woman can do if there's no physical evidence of abuse. Julia: After a year and a half of divorce proceedings,
Becky then began to experience unexplained events around her home. Sarah: When Becky's first cat disappeared,
it was obviously traumatic, but there were plausible explanations. She had called me the day after her second cat had died.
She broke down in tears. The cat had come in from outside, then all of a sudden started seizing.
There was no reason to suspect that there was any health issues with the cat. I think, in that moment, she was very fearful.
She thought that Tim was probably stalking her. Whenever she would file something,
he would do a tit for tat. So she asked for a restraining order against him, and he filed a countersuit to get a restraining
order against her. In the court's eyes, it just seemed like two very disgruntled individuals
fighting with each other. Julia: Even just thinking that your partner or your ex-partner is capable of killing your pets is--
that-- you have to get to a really dark place in order to think that that's something that they would do.
It's hard to communicate that effectively, though, because you feel like you're overreacting and saying
things like, well, I think he killed the cats, I mean, that sounds straight out of a movie,
and you might not even believe it yourself as you're saying it. But that's exactly what's so horrible about psychological
abuse is that it instills these constant questions that chip away at what you know to be real.
♪ ♪ Bryan: Once the video from the yard was examined, the person's size, the person's gait when
walking was similar to Tim. At that point, he was considered a suspect. Julia: A week after Becky's murder,
the police had enough evidence to confront Tim. Julia: They seized his cell phone from his car.
Julia: And a WHOOP fitness tracker. Nick: I researched this WHOOP device. There's a good chance that we could obtain that evidence
from that company. Julia: Later the same day, police searched Tim's house. Bryan: We found a multitude of items
that we took into evidence. We found shopping bags that matched the fragments of the shopping bag
found at the scene of Becky's murder at her house, and most importantly, in particular,
a box of spent shell casings. Julia: The shells were sent for analysis at the crime lab
while the search of his home continued. - We located a pry tool on a shelf in the basement that was similar to the pry tool
marks in the window at Becky's house. - Every time we got a piece of evidence, it pointed to Tim Bliefnick.
It didn't point to anybody else. Julia: The evidence was adding up. But it was still all circumstantial.
Under state law, prosecutors only had 90 days until Becky's murder case had to go to trial.
- We have this timeline that we know from the video footage from the bus barn we got from the neighbor's houses.
We needed other pieces of evidence. Josh: Laura was going through the defendant's
browser history. She looked at me, and she said, you're not going to believe this.
He searched "can you match a shotgun shell to the weapon that was used?" "How can you open a door with a crowbar?"
Julia: Tim also searched how to make a homemade pistol silencer. Detectives believed Tim tried to use
the plastic bags to muffle the sound of gunshots because shreds of plastic were found at the scene.
Josh: Each and every one of these search histories was just another aha moment. Like, oh my gosh, why would Tim Bliefnick
be searching for these things unless he was involved? Bryan: Based on the video evidence
from Quincy Public School's bus storage lot, we knew we were looking for a bicycle.
Julia: Officers searched every corner of the neighborhood's backyards. Laura: They found a bike in the brush
within a couple of blocks of Tim Bliefnick's house. Julia: The bike didn't yield any forensic evidence,
but detectives were convinced it was related to Becky's death. - The odd height of the bicycle seat
was compared to a bicycle that was located during our search of Tim Bliefnick's house.
And they were within a half an inch of each other. There were no reflectors in the wheels.
We felt very strongly that we had located the bicycle in the video. Julia: Despite mounting evidence
against their main suspect, Tim insisted he had nothing to do with Becky's death.
- Tim Bliefnick wasn't going to take any type of negotiation in this case. It was clear to us from the very beginning
that he was going to want his day in court, and he was gonna make us prove it. Sarah: He could never admit he was failing in some way.
He always had to win. In his mind, he succeeded at exactly what he wanted to do.
Julia: Just weeks before the trial, detectives received a potential forensic breakthrough.
- The shell casing matched the shell casings around Becky's body. It was at that moment that we really felt like, OK,
now we're starting to have a case. Julia: And with only days to go until opening statements,
prosecutors finally received the data from Tim's WHOOP fitness tracker. Laura: It actually was an amazing piece of evidence
because at exactly the time period when the person would have been on the bike traveling from Tim Bliefnick's house
to Becky Bliefnick's house committing the murder and then riding the bike back to Tim Bliefnick's house,
the WHOOP is disconnecting from Tim Bliefnick's phone. So Tim Bliefnick probably thought
they can track the location of my phone, so I will leave my phone home when I leave to go on these midnight bike rides
to Becky Bliefnick's house, and they won't be able to track me. But really, it actually hurt him because in the end,
we were able to show that the WHOOP was disconnected from his phone during those exact same times at 1:00
or 2:00 in the morning. Julia: On May 23, 2023, Tim Bliefnick stood trial. Prosecutors were certain the timing of Becky's murder
was no coincidence. She was killed just one week before the final divorce hearing.
- There's no winning in a divorce, but it started to look like Becky was going to have a custody arrangement
and child support and alimony. And that would have been a huge loss for Tim. So Tim killed her.
Julia: 10 hours after Becky's death, Tim was caught on camera picking up their boys
from school an hour early, his car just visible in the footage. Sarah: He needed somebody to find her body.
My dad had received a call from Tim that afternoon saying he was worried about Becky because she didn't go
pick up the kids from school. He wanted my dad to call her to see what was going on.
Julia: At Tim's request, Becky's father went to check on her at the house. - He found her lying on the bathroom floor.
My dad was Becky's person. They were very, very close. Tim orchestrated him finding her purposefully.
Julia: You have this prolonged aggression towards the family as a whole and this hell
that they've had to endure because of Tim. Despite all the planning, despite orchestrating
the circumstances around the crime scene, despite making sure the kids are out of the house,
despite having a silencer for his gun and making it look like a break-in, even he didn't account for everything,
and he was still caught on camera. After a nine-day trial, the jury read their verdict, guilty.
Josh: I won't forget the look on Becky's father's face after the verdict was read.
It really was one of those moments that I think neither one of us will ever forget.
Julia: The judge imposed the maximum sentence, life without parole. Nick: I don't think we would have solved
this case without the security footage, because it provided us the timeline that led to everything.
- I think that the tragedy in this case, more than anything else, is the effect that Tim Bliefnick's selfish acts
have had on those three innocent boys. Shannon: I think it's really important, especially
for people who are supporting someone in a domestic violence situation, to know someone doesn't
have to physically put their hands on you to abuse you. Becky was being abused emotionally.
And I think it's important that we use that word "abuse," not dance around it. Sarah: Becky did so much good in the world.
- You are doing great. Sarah: You could tell walking around the corner that she was in the room just by hearing her laugh.
Thinking about her laugh is really priceless. [somber music] ♪ ♪ And that's what I'll remember.
Julia: Becky Bliefnick's death at the hands of her husband was a call to action for her friends
and family, the issue, the danger of emotional abuse by an intimate partner. Only about 12% of women are killed by a stranger.
The rest are killed by what's known as a known person. And so that's either a family member
or somebody else that they know, an acquaintance, a friend. And this leads to something called the proximity paradox,
which is that you'd think the people who are closest to you emotionally are the safest to be around,
but actually, those are also the most likely people to harm you. And in the UK, a trio of friends
embarked on a night out. But only two would return home. Julia: In the UK, Staffordshire, 15 miles north
of Birmingham is Tamworth. Carl: Tamworth is a small town. It's a very pleasant, quiet place.
There's a lot of community spirit there. It's not the sort of place you would usually
associate with serious crime. Julia: On September 19, 2019, a worried family reported
their daughter missing. Carl: Keeley Bunker was 20 years old. She'd recently celebrated her birthday.
She'd grown up in Tamworth all her life. Very popular, very loved by all of her friends and family.
Keeley was due for an interview at a school at 2:00 PM on September the 19th for what
would have been a dream job. She always wanted to work with children, but she never showed.
Julia: Keeley had gone out for a late birthday celebration. - Keeley's friend that had been out with her the night
before messaged her, but she became concerned when she didn't reply. Concerns grew for her among her friends and family,
and she was reported missing to the police at 5:30 PM that day. Julia: Family, friends, and volunteers
searched the local area for any signs of Keeley. Carl: When Keeley was reported missing,
it immediately gained a lot of interest. Young girl, been out for a night out, disappeared.
Everyone's worried for her. Julia: Meanwhile, police officers spoke to two of Keeley's friends
who were with her the night before. - On the 18th of September, 2019, Keeley Bunker had gone
into Birmingham with a friend. It was a bit of a belated birthday celebration that night.
Birmingham is a very vibrant place full of bars and nightlife. Julia: Police searched security cameras
to track Keeley's movements on the night out. [tense music] ♪ ♪ - They went to a nightclub called
Snobs in the city center. Julia: Nothing struck police as unusual, and friends said Keeley was in good spirits.
As police began to build a picture, more footage emerged from Birmingham's public transport
system. It showed another friend who'd joined the group. Wesley Streete. - Keeley had known Wesley since infant school.
They had been friends for many years. Wesley Streete was known as the life and soul of the party
among his friends. He was very popular. The camera from Snobs nightclub in Birmingham
showed Keeley and Wesley and their other friend having a good time that night. They'd all been drinking.
But Keeley hadn't had many to drink. After about three hours, Keeley, Wesley, and
their friend caught a taxi back from Birmingham to Tamworth Town Center. Julia: Keeley's friends' accounts of the night out
were backed up by security footage from a bank. Just before 3:00 AM, Keeley withdrew
money to pay for a taxi. Again, nothing seemed to be amiss. - After returning from Birmingham
and going back to Tamworth, Keeley's friend said she could spend the night at her home.
Keeley declined. She said she was tired and she wanted to spend the night in her own bed
and that she also had an interview at school the next day. She said she would be safe walking home with Wesley.
Roberta: We can see that it's actually quite an ordinary night. Keeley wasn't going to access.
She didn't drink too much. She took a taxi home with friends, and she also chose to sleep in her own bed, which
says to me that she was really focused on the next day and wanting to wake up and be able to present
herself in the best possible way for her interview. It tells us something about Keeley's internal world.
This was someone who had something to look forward to the next day, so there's no reason why she wouldn't
have gone home that night. It really does raise the question about what happened to her.
Julia: 22 hours after she was last seen on security footage at 5:30 PM, Keeley's family
reported her missing. Carl: As the last person to see Keeley alive, police naturally wanted to speak to Wesley.
- When police spoke to Wesley, they asked him to take them on the route he supposedly
walked Keeley home that night. [tense music] - He said he'd walk to home from Tamworth Town Center
close to his house. He said he hugged her and left her near a phone box. Julia: But when officers asked for Wesley's phone--
Julia: --his demeanor changed. - This point is incredibly interesting. Wesley seems more concerned about what his phone may reveal
about him, rather than what his phone may actually offer the search for Keeley. Roberta: This could be because he's panicking, he's nervous,
or he's genuinely confused. Or it could be because he has something to hide. Julia: Wesley's phone was sent off for analysis.
- When police questioned Wesley, they noticed he had scratches on his face. And naturally, they asked him how they'd been caused.
Wesley said they had been caused by his dog that morning. Julia: Volunteers looking for Keeley concentrated
their efforts on the local park, close to where Wesley said he and Keeley parted ways.
- Keeley's uncle went into Wigginton Park to search for his niece. He went to look through a railway tunnel
when he turned and saw something red, which caught his eye underneath the brook.
He went over, and he could then see matted hair and the bracelet on someone's wrist.
He immediately knew it was his niece, Keeley. ♪ ♪ An off-duty officer heard what he
described as the most horrendous screaming he'd ever heard in his life. Keeley's body was discovered covered in branches in a brook
at the edge of the park. The off-duty officer went over to the scene and checked for a pulse, but he found none.
He noticed that Keeley's top was blood stained. Police immediately launched a murder investigation.
Brett: I was contacted by Staffordshire Police for a forensic post-mortem. The fact that the body is found in a face
down position with branches covering the body would necessitate the need for a post-mortem
to try and build up some sort of picture as to what may have happened. The first thing that I saw was that the clothing
had been moved, and she was in a state of undress. Now that in itself would highly support the possibility
that there has been a sexual assault. The DNA results from any swabs which I took at the post-mortem would be absolutely
important in this case. Julia: Investigators notified friends that Keeley was dead.
Carl: Keeley's body was discovered around 9:00 PM that night. By that time, the police were already speaking to Wesley.
Julia: Then the results of Wesley's phone analysis came in. - He stuck to his account that he'd last seen Keeley
near a phone box by his home. But GPS data from his mobile phone contradicts his account.
The data showed that at 4:23, he was in Wigginton Park, which is where her body was found.
The GPS data from Wesley's phone also showed that he returned to the site five times in 12 hours.
They realized he was lying about where he'd last seen her. Wesley started out as a key witness, the last person that
saw Keeley alive, but he quickly went to being the prime suspect. Carl: Wesley was arrested less than 90
minutes after Keeley's body was discovered. Julia: Wesley was taken to the police station
to be interviewed. - Once the GPS data from his mobile phone proved that Wesley and Keeley were together in the park,
he changed his story. Julia: Wesley admitted he hadn't left Keeley by the phone
box outside the park. Instead, they had gone into the park together. Carl: His next account was yes, they were together.
He jumped on her back for a piggyback. She fell, hit her head, and died in his arms accidentally.
Brett: One of the things about forensic pathology is you're presented with a story, and you have to test it.
You have to see whether or not that fits with what you're seeing in the post-mortem room.
A dead body doesn't lie. There was no evidence of traumatic brain injury, but there were some more telling injuries.
She had multiple bruises within the muscles at the front of the neck. There's only one way that Keeley died,
and that was that she was strangled. Julia: Wesley was presented with the results
of the post-mortem. He asked for a lawyer and stopped cooperating. But the police now had enough to charge him.
- Wesley Streete was denying that he had sexually assaulted Keeley. However, the samples did come back positive for male DNA.
That male DNA was Wesley Streete. Wesley Streete changed his story a third time and was indicating that both him and Keeley had
consensual sex, and during that, he placed his arm around her neck. She had become floppy, and then he was trying to assist her.
That does not fit with the post-mortem findings. The findings at post-mortem would
indicate that Wesley Streete has maintained that pressure around Keeley Bunker's neck in order
for her to go into cardiac arrest and die. That doesn't just occur. You need to maintain that pressure for several minutes.
Julia: On July 13, 2020, prosecutors presented to a jury what they believed really happened.
- Wesley convinced Keeley to go into Wigginton Park. In the park, Wesley raped and murdered Keeley.
He then dragged her body to a brook and concealed her body with branches. After that, he went home and went to bed.
Over the course of the next 12 hours, Wesley returned to the scene five times to put more branches on Keeley's body
and conceal it further. [tense music] ♪ ♪ Wesley gave evidence during the trial.
He claimed he'd killed Keeley accidentally. Throughout the proceedings, he just seemed very cold
and emotionless. Julia: But what Wesley hadn't accounted for was additional witnesses.
Carl: Three further victims came forward that had claimed similar sexual predatory
behavior against them. Wesley was ultimately charged with five further sexual offenses, including rape and sexual assault.
After that, the evidence stacked up against him and fell like dominoes. Roberta: In total, there were eight charges brought
against Wesley, and they included the sexual assault of several women, some of which
were under the age of 16. This has been going on for a number of years. There's a sustained pattern.
There's so many reasons why young women will not come forward and report sexual crimes.
There's a fear of potential retaliation from the perpetrator, but also, there's a real sense
that they're holding the shame for the crime, not the perpetrator. And they're having to think about their reputation,
their place in their social group, the impact this may have on it. And often when people report these instances,
they're not always believed. So what we're seeing in combination is essentially an environment that's offense permissive.
And that really goes a long way to creating and sustaining a culture of silence.
Carl: In August 2020, Wesley was found guilty of raping and murdering Keeley Bunker, as well as historic sex offenses
against three other victims. He was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 30 years.
Roberta: It's almost like a double life. What happened in terms of his behavior happened behind closed doors.
We can really connect with Keeley's sense of surprise, her shock, feelings of betrayal, sadness, anger, and
confusion because someone who she trusted to keep her safe from men like this was actually standing by her side.
[tense music] ♪ ♪ What makes this so devastating is that she did everything that women are encouraged to do.
She didn't drink excessively. She stayed with people she knew, her friends. She got a taxi out, even funding it herself.
And she even accepted a walk home from someone she trusted. So it really highlights that women
can put all these precautions in place, but what it doesn't do is take into account
the internal motivations of someone else when they decide to act in harmful, violent ways.
Carl: Friends and family have left tributes to Keeley at Wigginton Park. It's now a location where they can go to remember her.
♪ ♪ Roberta: Keeley was well-loved. She was a good friend, but something that really comes through about Keeley,
in addition to her kindness and compassion, was her sense of responsibility and wanting to help others.
Carl: She aspired to work in a school, and she always wanted to work with children.
Her whole life was ahead of her. ♪ ♪ [theme music] ♪ ♪
