Two actors met in London but both had quite different backstories. Their friendship soon turned into a bitter jealous rivalry, one which would result in murder, minutes before one of them was to take to the stage.
Today on Macabre London, we uncover the murder of William Terris at The Adelphi Theatre.

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.
