This is the first episode in a series about mysterious disappearances, murder, and other crimes, along the 1-95 corridor communities of North Carolina.
Today, we talk first about Rhonda Jones, Kristin Bennett, and Meagan Oxendine. The FBI is offering a $30,000 reward for information leading to the killer/s of these women.
Then we bring you the stories of Cynthia Jacobs, Eric Montreal Evans, and Abby Patterson. There is also reward money available if you know what happened to any of these persons.
Lumberton is a small town. Why are there so many mysterious disappearances and deaths? Why can't police seem to solve these cases?
Some say it's police corruption, and they are covering for someone.
Some say a serial killer is and has been on the loose in Lumberton for decades.
Some blame the victims themselves.
Others say each case is different. Could there be several killers in Lumberton?
Hopefully the FBI can sort this out.
Let us know what you think.

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.
