Blake Leibel // Iana Kasian // 198 // Part 1

Shortly after Iana Kasian and Blake Leibel became engaged, and 3 weeks after Iana gave birth to their daughter, Iana stopped answering her phone.  On May 26th, 2016, the police arrived at the couple's apartment in West Hollywood, California.  They found Iana's mutilated body lying on the bed in the master bedroom, and she had been drained of blood.  During the trial, prosecutors said that Blake was jealous of the baby, and he wanted to control his fiancé.  On June 20th, 2018, he was convicted of first-degree murder, torture and aggravated mayhem.  He was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
