During his appearance on the show, host Steve Harvey posed the question, "What was your biggest misstep during your wedding?"
Tim Bliefnick playfully replied, "Well, sweetheart, as much as I adore you, it was saying 'I do.' But let me clarify, it wasn't a personal mistake, as I truly cherish my wife."
However, the situation took a dark turn, as Tim now finds himself on trial for his wife's murder.
From ABC7:
Authorities say Bliefnick killed his wife, Becky, in February.
"His phone shows searches for the following: 'How to open my door with a crowbar? Can I force open my door with a crowbar if I lock myself out? How to make a homemade pistol silencer?'" said prosecutor Josh Jones.
On Tuesday, Bliefnick was in court for opening arguments in his case
"The last minutes of Becky's life were spent in fear and pain and terror," Jones said.
"This case is dripping with reasonable doubt," Bliefnick's defense attorney said.
Becky's father, William Postle, took the stand on Tuesday, telling jurors how he discovered her body.
"I ran up the stairs, and since she supposedly was sick, I went to the bedroom to see if she was laying down. Didn't see anything in her bedroom. Went into the attached bathroom, and that's when I found her body lying on the floor. She looked like she was dead," Postle said.
The mother of three boys was shot 14 times after someone used a crowbar to enter the home where she was living.
The couple was in the midst of a messy divorce. Her sister, Sarah Reilly, told jurors that Becky feared her husband.
"This is a text that Becky sent to myself and my husband, Bret, regarding fear for her life: 'If something ever happens to me, please make sure the number one person of interest is Tim, as that is who would do something to me,'" Reilly said.
The previous statement regarding her husband is undoubtedly incriminating, yet it remains to be seen what tangible evidence the prosecution will present to substantiate his potential culpability.
Despite the presence or absence of physical evidence, the situation appears unfavorable for Bliefnick, particularly when considering the statistical pattern where a spouse is often the perpetrator in the majority of such cases.
