Illinois man accused of shooting his estranged wife 14 times | Forensic Files

Becky beliefnik was found dead on her bathroom floor with 14 gunshot wounds one her estranged husband Tim bleethnic
went on trial for her murder the prosecution presented its case to the jury the jury was shown numerous
damaging searches found on Tim's phone like how to open my door with a crowbar how to make a homemade pistol silencer
and how to clean gunpowder off your hands it was mind-boggling it was mind-boggling yeah about a week before
the murder on Valentine's Day a person had been caught on camera in Becky's neighbor's driveway prosecutors say that
right after that sighting Tim made more than 200 searches online for a specific license plate and a car VIN number it
turns out that that license plate in VIN number belonged to a man whom Becky was
dating and his truck was parked in Becky's driveway at the time and for somebody with power and control
issues you realize that your prior significant other is now in a relationship with somebody that they're
spending the night on Valentine's Day and then the minute you get back to your home at 1 10 in the morning you're
searching their license plate number and their VIN number that's somebody who's lost control Tim insists he had learned
about Becky's new relationship months earlier I actually didn't care it sounds like
you were kind of obsessed because no he declined to go into more detail about specific trial evidence citing
legal proceedings but his lawyer spoke for him I mean if I'm gonna be checking out my
husband's new girlfriend I'm going to be doing it late at night after my kids are
asleep so it's just a coincidence that the night you see that Prowler at the next door neighbor's driveway and his
truck is there it's just a coincidence that just minutes later Tim is doing research on the VIN number
and the license test that's not Tim in that video what about the searches that were found on Tim's phone there's no
date or time as to when those searches were done so we don't know if they were done
before the murder and we don't know if they were done after the murder
