It’s a strange experience for journalist Natasha Del Toro to be on the other side of the mic, sharing her firsthand account of living through back-to-back hurricanes. Families like hers in the state of Florida are facing power outages and damaged homes while trying to rebuild emotionally, all while hurricane season continues.

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.
