EPISODE 13: Accused Killer Daniel Breijo Inks Plea Deal, Murder Trial in Limbo
Babcock, who miraculously survived four gunshot wounds, recounts the horror of watching Breijo allegedly execute Van Pelt in cold blood before leaving her for dead. Both men had deep ties through the Air Force, law enforcement, and a local drug task force, raising serious questions about betrayal, trust, and motive.
Originally, justice appeared within reach with a high-profile murder trial set for October 2025. But the sudden plea agreement has thrown everything into uncertainty, leaving the decision in the hands of a judge. National legal expert James Porfido joins BEK News to analyze what this deal could mean for the case and for Babcock’s hope for justice.
This chilling episode unpacks corruption, betrayal, and the fight for accountability in one of North Dakota’s most shocking murder cases.
