While its title refers to the two groups of contestants competing for the big money prize, Family Feud has lately been connected to a disturbing murder that will forever change the family at the heart of it. Former game show contestant Timothy Bliefnick appeared alongside his fam in a 2019 episode of Family Feud that recently went viral after he was charged with murdering his estranged wife. The trial, which kicked off in mid-May, already reached its conclusion, with Bliefnick being found guilty of first-degree murder on Wednesday, with a sentencing date set for August 11. Now, his legal team is aiming to dispute the verdict.
The jury for the Quincy, Illinois trial came to the agreement that Timothy Bliefnick was guilty of two counts of first-degree murder, according to KHQA, and one count of home invasion for the shooting death of Rebecca Bliefnick on February 23, 2023. The now-convicted killer was in a heated divorce battle with his estranged wife in recent years, with tensions said to be at a constant high between the two, partially over custody of their three sons.
