Alyssa Taylor, a 25-year-old mother of two, went missing while on a road trip with her on again, off again boyfriend, Danny McNeil. Alyssa had gotten into an argument with her grandmother, went to her stepfather's home and from there called her boyfriend, a semi-truck driver, to see if she could go on the road with him for a couple of days to get away. The two started their journey down to North Carolina. One person perished along the way, while another remains missing.

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.
