Her boyfriend,
Ben Novack Jr., was bludgeoned to death in 2009 by men hired by Novack's wife,
Narcy Novack, and her brother,
Cristobal Veliz. Prosecutors alleged that Narcy was afraid that Ben would leave her for Bliss, who testified at Narcy's trial; their prenuptial agreement would only leave her $65,000 in a divorce. Narcy claimed that the murders were orchestrated by her daughter,
May Abad, who inherited the bulk of Novack's estate. Narcy and Veliz were each sentenced to life in prison in 2012.
