"During a text exchange on May 9, 2021, Becky told Bateman that "Tim told me if I outed his dad, that he (Ray) would probably have to move and then he would kill himself." #bliefnicktrial

Can anyone tell me what this threat is about? Outed his dad for what?

In my opinion, likely something relating to the major divorce dispute being Becky's unwillingness for Ray to have unsupervised access to the kids. But that's another case.

Back in the courtroom. Adrian reminds people in the courtroom to turn their cellphones off. "Off means off," he said. "Not vibrate. Not in airplane mode."

The jury is seated. Kelly Leapley is to be the first witness of the afternoon. #bliefnicktrial

Sorry, it's Kelly Lepley. She lives in Pennsylvania. Moved to Quincy in 2021 and stayed for about a year. She lived in an upstairs apartment on Hampshire next door to Tim Bliefnick. She worked at Quincy Medical Group. #bliefnicktrial
Lepley said she had sex with Tim after they knew each other for about six months. She said she got a text message from Tim on afternoon of Feb. 22. He wrote, "I'm here solo. Kids are in school, so come on over."

She replied that she would see Tim in "about 15 minutes." He replied, "See you in a few." She was at his house at about 1:15 p.m. to have sex with him. After sex, she left his house. #bliefnicktrial

Schnack's only question was if she ever sent to Bliefnick's house when the kids were there, or if he ever came to her house when the kids were there. She said no. She has been excused. #bliefnicktrial

Next witness is James Brown, a detective sergeant with the Quincy Police Department. He did search warrants on various electronic devices. He said he could not get video surveillance from her Ring camera at Becky's home. #bliefnicktrial

Brown said it appeared Becky had not paid for a subscription to record video surveillance at her home. He also said Tim had no video surveillance. An Amazon device in Becky's home also had no audio files. #bliefnicktrial

Brown said he received records from AT&T on Becky's and Tim's phones. A phone call was made by Tim to St. Peter School at 11:51 a.m. on Feb. 23. The call lasted 53 seconds. #bliefnicktrial

Another call was made from Bill Postle's phone to Tim's phone at 3:06 p.m. Feb. 23. The records did not show if the call was answered. Another call by Postle was made to Tim at 4:14 p.m. They spoke for 2 minutes and 57 seconds. #bliefnicktrial

Brown said Becky had an ADT home security system, bought in February 2021, that did not have video surveillance. The system did have sensors to send information to the main control system. #bliefnicktrial

The ADT system recorded alerts at 1:12 a.m. on Feb. 23 that the front door had been opened and at 1:27 a.m. that the front door had remained open. The ADT system also alerted that the garage door was opened at 3:27 p.m. — when Bill Postle arrived. #bliefnicktrial

Brown also looked at Becky's Facebook page. Brown said AT&T could not help the investigation with the location of Becky's posts. #bliefnicktrial

Brown described his participation in a traffic stop of Tim. He said electronic devices were recovered during the stop. One of them was a fitness tracker on his left wrist. Another was a phone inside the vehicle in the front passenger seat. #bliefnicktrial

Schnack asked Brown about surveillance cameras at Tim's house. Brown said Ring officials told him there was little information available from Tim's cameras. Brown said the AT&T records don't show if a call was answered. #bliefnicktrial

Brown said he was at Tim's house on the evening of Feb. 23 for about two hours. He said gunshot residue testing was not offered. He said he was there when Tim made arrangements for someone to pick up his children that night. #bliefnicktrial

Brown said Tim told him about pass codes for the garage, a broken shotgun in the basement and a gun safe in his home. Brown said Tim was compliant during the traffic stop. #bliefnicktrial

Brown is excused. The next witness will be Christine Moore. But first, it's time to stretch in the courtroom. #bliefnicktrial

Moore says she's lived in Quincy for 16 years. She knew of Becky when she worked with her husband at Blessing Hospital. She said they were friends, often calling and texting with each other. Asked how often they spoke, Moore said, "Too many to count." #bliefnicktrial

Moore said she received text messages on May 7, 2021, from Becky. It read, "He has screamed in my face, he shoved me in front of the kids, and has thrown things across the room where the kids and I were standing, punched a hole in the wall." #bliefnicktrial

The text also said, "The only a to ensure all three choose him over me is to eliminate me as a choice." #bliefnicktrial
Moore said Tim was one of the coaches on her son's football team last fall. She said she didn't help Becky get a restraining order or help her in any other way. #bliefnicktrial

Moore is excused. Nicole Bateman is the next witness. She is from Decatur, working in economic development. She said she is Becky's childhood friend, knowing her for 35 years. She moved from Quincy at age 20. #bliefnicktrial

During a text exchange on May 9, 2021, Becky told Bateman that "Tim told me if I outed his dad, that he (Ray) would probably have to move and then he would kill himself." #bliefnicktrial

Becky also texted that she was worried that Tim would take the kids sometime, "especially if I get awarded the custody I want." She said Tim would be "pissed." #bliefnicktrial

Bateman also received text message from Becky on Sept. 8, saying "On top of that, a friend and co-worker of mine from the ER was MURDERED last Friday by her ex." She also wrote that she had a panic attack, thinking Tim will "come after me and do the same." #bliefnicktrial

Becky also texted she was "scared of what he might do, and his erratic behavior and constant lies facilitate the need for protection." #bliefnicktrial

Bateman told Schnack the last time she saw Tim was in December 2019. Bateman said she didn't reach out to police or Becky's parents about the messages she received. Jones asked, "Do you wish you would have?" Bateman replied, "Yes." #bliefnicktrial

Adrian calls for a 20-minute afternoon break. Back at 2:30 pm. #bliefnicktrial

Pulled out for focus:

I'm not sure how this woman is sleeping at night. She must be devastated that she did nothing, and the end result is that her friend is dead. :(

ETA: I'm not blaming her. I'm trying to put myself in her shoes.

"outed" used to mean telling others that someone was LGBT. But I am thinking there is something else here for sure. something icky.

It might be either....LGBTQ or ick. One wouldn't think that it would be the former, since that's not a big deal, but the mother and father both posted Christian stuff on their FB pages, so perhaps there was a potential huge impact for the family. (of course, I don't get that, but some people are inappropriately over the top about that.)
Maybe I'm just hoping that its the former, because I would hate to think that anything inappropriate happened, or was at risk of happening, to the kids.

There are some interesting comments regarding this topic on the Muddy River FB posts - Log into Facebook
Wanted to add - RB has no criminal records, so if true, it was swept under the rug.
 
Here is the full Muddy River News report for the witness testimonies today:
muddyrivernews.com

'Tim could snap at any moment': Witnesses give details about conversations with Becky Bliefnick about fears of divorce – Muddy River News

She later wrote to Bateman, “And yes, I absolutely worry he will try to take the kids sometime, especially if I get awarded the custody I want. He will be pissed, and he will do whatever he feels like doing.”
muddyrivernews.com muddyrivernews.com

ETA: Here is a quote from the article about the Becky Sprotts testimony. They are tweets from Becky Bliefnick to Becky Sprotts:

“I truly believe Tim has serious mental health problems and is becoming more vengeful and unpredictable. And it scares me. But I’m scared to even try to get an order of protection, because it will piss (Tim) off and he will try to punish me somehow. I don’t think an order of protection will be issued, because they will say his violent outbursts have not been egregious enough, and incidents have been stretched out over too long of a period.

“Temporary custody has not even been set yet, because we haven’t been to court. I don’t even have exclusive possession of our house, so I can’t even legally keep him away from me or the kids. Plus, if I ask for an order protection, I won’t be able to come see my children in his house anymore, and he may cut off their communication with me while they are there. And that scares me too.”

I was wondering about that myself. I can think of a few possibilities, but I won't say them here.
