Summary

Episode 330: In this episode, we explore a horrific case that shocked both Hollywood and Canada - the brutal murder of Iana Kasian by her fiancé, graphic novelist and filmmaker Blake Leibel. On May 26, 2016, the mutilated body of 30-year-old Iana Kasian was discovered in the West Hollywood apartment she shared with Leibel. What makes this case particularly chilling is not just the gruesome nature of the crime but the background of the perpetrator himself. Blake Leibel, born into a wealthy Canadian family, had relocated to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. As a graphic novelist and aspiring filmmaker, Leibel had contributed to a work titled “Syndrome,” which eerily foreshadowed the brutal manner in which he would later take Kasian's life. The timing of this heinous act adds another layer of tragedy to the story. Kasian, originally from Ukraine, had given birth to the couple's daughter just three weeks before her murder. What should have been a joyous time for the new parents instead became a nightmare that would leave a child without her mother and a family shattered.
