Hey, it’s your host, Hagen. In this episode of Buried but Not Boring, we’re diving into one of the most brutal and bizarre true crime stories out of Los Angeles. Blake Leibel—trust fund baby, failed comic book creator, and full-time walking red flag—turned his twisted horror novel into a real-life crime scene. His girlfriend, Iana Kasian, was found murdered in a way so grotesque, it shocked even the most hardened detectives. We’ll unpack Blake’s privileged background, the disturbing parallels between fiction and reality, and how one man’s delusions led to an unthinkable act of violence.
