Episode 330: In this episode, we explore a horrific case that shocked both Hollywood and Canada - the brutal murder of\xa0Iana Kasian\xa0by her fianc\xe9, graphic novelist and filmmaker\xa0Blake Leibel.\nOn 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.\nBlake 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 \u201cSyndrome,\u201d which eerily foreshadowed the brutal manner in which he would later take Kasian's life.\nThe 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.\nSources:\nBlake Leibel | Tumblr\n"Iana Kasian" - Search - Newspapers.com\u2122\nCanadian Legal Information Institute \u2014 Eleanor Leibel\nWayback Machine \u2014 Charging Document for Blake Leibel\n'I thought he was very happy'; Toronto tycoon's son accused of torturing girlfriend, draining her body of blood\nJealousy over baby drove Canadian Blake Leibel to torture, kill girlfriend, L.A. prosecutor tells jury\nFULL INTERVIEW - Lorne Leibel Apache 47' Owner & Driver\nMay 30, 2016, page 29 - The Vancouver Sun at Newspapers.com\nPeople v.
