The Murder of Iana Kasian

About this episode

This episode provides a harrowing account of the 2016 murder of Iana Kasian by her fiancé, Blake Leibel, a wealthy heir and graphic novelist. It details how Leibel, driven by jealousy and a need for control following the birth of their child, carried out a premeditated and exceptionally savage torture-killing in West Hollywood. The narrative highlights the chilling parallels between the crime and a graphic novel Leibel previously co-authored, which featured similar themes of violence and blood loss. Furthermore, the sources document the investigative process, the forensic evidence that led to Leibel’s life sentence, and the profound impact on Kasian’s family. Ultimately, the account examines the intersection of privilege, domestic obsession, and extreme violence within a Hollywood setting.
