Watch the Dateline episode, “Ghost Rider” now 

Dennis Murphy reports. 

Quincy, Illinois sits just above the Mississippi River.

It was a small, safe town. Until, it wasn’t.

It was February 22, 2023. A ghostlike figure was spotted on security footage in the middle of the night. A prowler, perhaps.

What was that person up to?

And what, if anything, did they have to do with what happened the very next day.

That unimaginable thing, when nurse and mother-of-three Becky Bliefnick was found murdered in her home.

It was her father who found her and called 911.

Officers arrived on the scene. It was apparent that Becky wasn’t just murdered.

It was a cold-blooded execution.

To find out what happened, watch the full episode, “Ghost Rider,” on Peacock now. 

You can also watch on the NBC app.

Watch as Becky’s loved ones remember her as a dedicated and loving mother and friend. 

While our team was in Quincy, they stopped by the Lincoln-Douglas Debate Interpretive Center where they learned more about the historical debate.
