Steve Bennet is a wonderful person who followed my ship and crew for a few months and quickly became a family friend. He has had absolutely incredible life adventures! In this interview we mostly focus on his first and second years working on boats in Alaska, but we also range all over the place in our stories. In the end we do discuss some serious medical information that every grown man (and every woman with a stubborn man) should know, although we start out with something less serious, namely the time that Steve shot himself in the hand!

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.
