On September 10th, 2025, the conservative movement was rocked when Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, was murdered at Utah Valley University. Tyler Robinson, his killer, claimed he acted because Kirk "spreads too much hate." But Kirk's death may have triggered something far more sinister.

Just five days later, on September 15th, 21-year-old Demartravion "Trey" Reed was found hanging from an oak tree at Delta State University in Mississippi. What authorities initially called a suicide has sparked a chilling theory that's dividing the nation.

Was Trey Reed's death connected to Charlie Kirk's murder? Are we looking at a white supremacist revenge killing - where extremists, enraged by Kirk's assassination, targeted an innocent Black college student in retaliation?

In this episode, we examine the disturbing timeline, the evidence that's emerged, and the questions authorities don't want to answer. From Utah to Mississippi, from political assassination to racial violence - this is the story of two deaths that may be more connected than anyone wants to admit.

⚠️ This episode contains mature themes including discussion of racial violence, murder, and hate crimes. Listener discretion is advised.

In this powerful episode of No Tears For Black Girls, we explore the chilling case of Rebecca "Becky" Bliefnick, whose appearance on Family Feud with her husband became tragically prophetic. When Becky jokingly told Steve Harvey that her biggest mistake was "saying yes to my husband," she had no idea those words would foreshadow her own murder just months later.

On February 23rd, 2023, Becky was found shot to death in her Quincy, Illinois home by her estranged husband Timothy Bliefnick - the same man who smiled on national television while claiming "I love my wife." We dive deep into the investigation that revealed Tim's calculated plan to stalk and murder the mother of his three children, and examine how the system failed to protect Becky despite her desperate pleas for help.

But this episode goes beyond one tragic case. We also tell the story of Korryn Gaines, a 23-year-old Black mother from Baltimore who was killed by police in 2016 while trying to protect herself from an abusive partner. Despite facing similar domestic violence and systemic failures, Korryn's story received a fraction of the media attention that Becky's case generated.

Through these parallel stories, we examine the stark disparity in how our society responds to violence against women - and ask the difficult question: whose tears matter most? Why do some victims become household names while others are forgotten?

Join host Samantha Paul as we demand justice for ALL women and challenge the media's selective empathy. Because every woman deserves to have her story told with dignity, compassion, and the demand for justice - regardless of the color of her skin.
