In this episode of Crime Watch Daily Updates: The case of millionaire graphic novelist and convicted murderer Blake Leibel.
Blake, who is the son of a wealthy Canadian real estate mogul, rubbed elbows with some of the biggest names in Hollywood, lived in a glitzy Beverly Hills mansion, and ate at the hottest spots, all while churning out his popular books. Blake was married and had two children, but he also harbored a big secret: he had a pregnant girlfriend on the side.
His girlfriend’s name was Iana Kasian and the two lived in a West Hollywood apartment together. Iana was a Ukrainian immigrant and dreamed of a better life. Unfortunately, her hopes would be smashed to pieces.
Iana gave birth to her daughter in early May 2016. On May 23rd, Iana went out shopping for baby strollers. Her mother, Olga, started getting worried because the next day, Iana failed to respond to text messages or answer phone calls. Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deputies went to the apartment for a welfare check, but there was no response. Olga even went to look for her daughter, but Blake didn’t answer the door.
On May 26th, 2016, Olga called 911 again, and Los Angeles County deputies returned and eventually broke into Blake’s apartment. What they discovered was a true bloodbath.
Blake was found lying on his bed next to his girlfriend’s mutilated body. She had been beaten, tortured, and scalped. Her entire body was drained of its blood.
In June 2018, Blake was convicted of first-degree murder, aggravated mayhem, and torture, and sentenced to life in prison without parole. In March 2019, a judge ordered him to pay over $41 million to Iana’s family. Their child is reportedly in Olga’s care.
Let’s look back at the chilling case of a young woman whose hopes and dreams of a better life would go unrealized.
These folks believe they can just unalive us ..steal make your life hell hire police to cover up there crimes & hire the city to harrasment
I don't like that you host live showing yourself talk anna garcia , it's very annoying & your very annoying 😒🖕
I swear some of these defense attorneys are DELULU LEMONS straight up delusional
O think of that too and that in my opinion is why (I imagine)thrre was probably hundreds …of people acyively libing as predators daily everywhere..
Living among and around all of us..
That last guy they interviewed is delusional af. Nothing "pushes" a sane person to scalp and mutilate the parent of their child.
“Violent, beautiful imagery…” wth???
so was she pregnant or not?
Mr Ludacris is Ludacris. He's making excuses for that sicko. Anyone who writes and draws that kind of garbage isn't normal. It's not art to depict women as tortured mutilated bodies.
His attorney wins even if he loses the case. He's in entertainment law, not criminal. Which gives him no holds barred access to family money so he can build a "dream team". Thus his gitty persona. The defense is evil and so is the client. My sincerest condolences to the victims' family, friends and acquaintances. RIP mother and daughter 😢
His entertainment lawyer friend is just as much of a psychopath as he is. His evil smiling while saying that something pushed him to do this and arguing that it is not about guilt or innocence, indicates that he believes that the graphic horror novelist is justified in what he did because the mistress deserved to be murdered since she must have pushed him over the edge. My friends in the comment section, what we have here is a lawyer who sold his soul to the devil in order to make it in Hollywood as a big shot defender of all the celebrities that sold their souls as well.
Why family didn’t get a money?
There is always a better option than murder. I just can't understand why people don't choose it.
The guy at the end saying it’s not a question of if he did or didn’t do it. Really?
What an idiot lawyer is that? "If he did it" are you serious? He was covered with her blood, he made a mess in his own apartment, he did exactly what he wrote in his book. Then he said "something have must pushed him,someone did something ". Are you efen kidding me? So every time someone pushes us, we should kill them, that is what he saud.
The UK Woman got pregnant on purpose
Got no sympathy for women who knowingly go out with a married man
What about his wife and kids……?
Can’t kill others just because you think you’re being “pushed.” What This guy said is absurd.
The lawyer friend is also a creep and possibly another monster. His eyes and his smile seems maniacal.
“Something pushed him. Someone pushed him.” Yeah, the Devil!
ASK JEREMY TO GIVE HIS DAUGHTER IN THIS PSYCHO'S HANDS. I ALWAYS SAID, DRUGS DAMAGE THE BRAIN ON WEAK PEOPLES.
Time to take a look at his lawyer 👀☠️ He seems like the type to do some horrible ish too.
His lawyer is just as despicable
I think 🤔 the killer was Satanist. Cannibal.. gruesome..
Y the Ukranian mistress placed.her eyes 👀 on that loser? MONEY! SHE WANT3D MONEY AND SHE PAID.THE PRICE! SPECIALLY THE MAN WAS MARRIED! NOT A GOOD IDEA.. 🤔
"He makes violent, beautiful images"!
Creep! Violence is not in any way beautiful.
Money can't buy sanity or morality.
One woman wasn't enough? Gruesome.
Keep away from that lawyer. He looks as crazy and perverse as his client. Sickening
The way devil's advocate talks and behaves makes me think that he was the one who led him to do it
the 48 hours of this is so scary
Lawyer/Liar
I suggest you people stop treasure hunting you noticed how this ended there is no such thing as a free lunch!
