  • About our Guests:

    Geoff and Colette Heschel and their three children live in Morse, Saskatchewan. They own and operate a boiler, superheater, and agricultural trucking business called GH Well Services Inc. In addition to GH Well Services Inc. In 2012, Geoff decided to build an above-ground deck that could easily be adjusted should the soil shift. Not liking the appearance, quality, or ease of use of any of the products in his local building supplies stores, he decided it would be simpler to build his own. This is how the GH The Leveller was born.

    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.
