Cristina Rae is a mother, entertainer classically trained in acting, singing, and dancing and is an America’s Got Talent Season 15 finalist. She earned the golden buzzer from Heidi Klum which sent her straight to the quarter-finals. She ended her AGT journey in 3rd place.

As a single mother, Cristina has been through her fair share of hardships including homelessness which she shared during her AGT audition. At which time, she was stopped by Simon to sing another song. Cristina is the second singing act to make it to the finals after being stopped by Simon in her audition. However, she is the highest placing singing act to be stopped by Simon.

-learning to be humble and express gratitude through our children

-giving ourselves grace as (single) mothers

-the song that got her the golden buzzer being the first time she performed it live

-embracing the changes

-and much more

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.
