About Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
Jacob Haendel has been handed a death sentence. He has a terminal progressive disease that's eating away at the white matter of his brain. In six months, he'll be dead. As the months progress, Jake slips into a coma, laying there in total darkness. But something odd has happened... Jake is fully conscious. Nobody knows that he can hear them. They’re certain he's no longer in there. With the promise that Jake will never recover, friends and family visit less and less. Until there is just one person left. A person who begins to whisper strange admissions in his ear. It is here, helpless in his hospital bed, that Jake realizes what may have gotten him here in the first place. The scariest thing in the room is no longer the potential of dying, but rather, the person sitting right next to him. This is Blink, the untold true story and survival of Jacob Haendel.

Published 7 Jul 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Angie was interested in entrepreneurship and had taken some classes at Idaho State. Actually, one of the pieces of evidence detectives collected from her apartment was a textbook about entrepreneurship sitting on her nightstand. There is no doubt that Angie would have become an entrepreneur. She was very business-minded. And when she was a freshman in high school, she ran our finances for a whole year. When I see her day planner, she had her money. This is what I owe. This is how much money I have in the bank. This is what I need to write checks for. It was like she was so organized. With her money, Angie had secured her apartment. […]
