In the early 1980s, a single mother was living a quiet life in Southern California. She’d wake up each day, put in hours of work at her two jobs, and then go straight home to be with her young son. Her life was quiet and uneventful, until it wasn’t. Unbeknownst to the young mother, someone was watching her. Soon, she began receiving frightening phone calls and it became clear that she had an obsessed stalker. Her simple life was turned upside down and tragically, would end in her murder.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

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.
