In 2002, 17-year-old Ohio native Catherine Woods was among the dreamers headed to New York City to dance professionally. She wanted to make it on Broadway and had the courage to pursue that pie-in-the-sky goal. A few years after arriving in New York, Catherine was found dead in her Upper East Side apartment. After her barbaric murder, the heat was on NYPD detectives to track down her elusive killer. The city that never sleeps restlessly wondered how a young woman’s dreams could morph so quickly into a real-life horror movie. Who did this to Catherine? The NYPD would end up with two viable suspects, but only one left behind a crimson signature.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
