Hey, true crime besties. Welcome back to an all new episode of Serial Asleep. Hey everybody, welcome back to an all-new episode of Serialistly with me, Annie Elise. We are talking all things true crime today. Well, actually, that's a lie. That is a bold-faced lie. We're not talking all things true crime today. We're talking about one specific thing true crime today because we are doing a mega, mega deep dive. Now, I will say this case is relatively recent. So there are maybe things that will trickle out over the next month or two. I don't imagine that it will, but possible because it is more of a recent case. But it's one that a lot of you guys have been requesting. So I decided we're not going to wait.
We're just going to go ahead. We're going to jump in and cover it. And I think the one thing that's really creepy, especially when it comes to true crime cases, is the way that some of these absolute monsters can honestly just blend right in. They can act totally normal, totally safe, like these harmless people just, you know, going about their lives, and you would never in a suspect that they are capable of something so intense and so crazy but then it's like something horrendous or barbaric happens and you go back and you ask yourself like how did we miss the signs how did we not see this what else just kind of flew over our head like what are we missing here So I want you to keep that in mind as we get into today's case.
Like, and I hate to throw back to this, but almost like Ted Bundy in a way, right? Nobody really ever suspected that this handsome, charming guy was capable of doing what he did. He also worked at a self-harm prevention hotline, like all of these things. And then when you look back, you're like, oh, okay, the writing was on the wall and certain things with certain behaviors. But I just want you to keep that in mind as we get into today's case. So let's jump right in.
What's the biggest mistake you made at your wedding? Honey, I love you, but said I do.
You broke into her house and you shot her 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 times. If they haven't already, your boys will realize that their father doesn't love them.
On February 23, 2023, in Quincy, Illinois, William Postle went to visit his 41-year-old daughter, Becky Bleifnick. He had just received a phone call from her husband, well, sort of ex-husband, I should say, named Tim. He had said that Becky had forgotten to pick up their three boys from school. Now, the reason I'm calling him her sort of ex-husband is because Becky and Tim were in the process of a divorce. It was almost settled, literally just a few days away from being done, but they were still technically married, so it was still her husband. But anyway, Tim had tried to call Becky, but he couldn't reach her.
What were the details of Becky's murder?
So then Tim went to go get the kids from school and asked William to check on Becky to make sure that she was okay and that everything was all right. But what William found would stay with him for the rest of his life. His daughter was there dead on the bathroom floor with blood pooled around her and bullet holes just riddling her body. He called 911 and officers immediately arrived to investigate. They declared her dead on the scene and they also determined pretty quickly that she had been dead for hours. Now, right away, it was clear that somebody had broken into her home. Thankfully, Becky's sons were staying with their dad, so they didn't have to witness anything that happened during that night.
I mean, God forbid if they were in that house, who knows how many victims there would be. So anyway, on the second floor of the house, in one of Becky's son's rooms, there was a window that had clearly been tampered with. There were marks that suggested that somebody had used a tool of some sort, almost like a crowbar, to try and pry it open. There was also a shoe print that was not too far away from the window. So, I mean, clearly whoever had forced it open had either come in or had gone out that way. Probably in, which we'll get into in a minute. In fact, outside, directly underneath the window, investigators also found a lawn chair that had been dragged over from somewhere else in the yard.
