Bliefnick receives three life sentences for the murder of estranged wife

QUINCY, Ill. (KHQA) — Convicted killer Tim Bliefnick on Friday was sentenced to three life sentences for murdering his estranged wife, Becky Bliefnick.

Two of his life sentences are for the two counts of first-degree murder, and the third life sentence is for his conviction of home invasion. Bliefnick was sentenced to "natural life" in prison, which means there are no parole hearings, no credit for time served, and no possibility of release.

When Judge Robert Adrian asked if he wanted to make a statement, Bliefnick said, "No, your honor."

A jury convicted him on May 31st on two counts of first-degree murder and one count of home invasion in the Feb. 23rd shooting death of his wife, Becky Bliefnick, with whom he filed for divorce from in Jan. 2021.

During the May trial, Adams County Assistant State's Attorneys Josh Jones and Laura Keck presented evidence painting a picture of the night Becky was murdered.

They said Tim Bliefnick rode a bike to Becky's home in the darkness, climbed up to the second story using lawn furniture as a boost, and busted in through an upstairs window. Becky rushed toward the bathroom connected to her bedroom, but Tim Bliefnick busted through her bedroom door and shot her, according to prosecutors. He shot her 14 times. During the trial's closing arguments, Jones said Bliefnick shot Becky one time for each year the two were married.

Becky Bliefnick, 41, was a nurse at Blessing Hospital and loving mother of three boys.
