In one of the most shocking crimes to hit Delmarva, a hard-working and well-liked woman orchestrated the murder of two men with the help of her daughter and her daughter’s boyfriend.  Nothing about this case was simple, with complex timelines, missing men, and horrific discoveries.  With the family connections with almost everyone involved in this case and very questionable decisions made by both the mastermind and police, it was still just a matter of time before her plan began to unravel.  So let’s explore the murders of John Charbonneau and Billy Sproates, planned by a woman very close to each of them, Linda Charbonneau.

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.
