Welcome to episode 45! In light of Andrew Tate being arrested, Alex is giving us all the gory, horrifying details of human trafficking.
Don’t worry, you still get a case as well!
Chrystul Kizer was a struggling young teen, forced to ask people for money to help pay for school supplies and other necessities, when she met 32 year old Randall Volar III. He quickly got her involved in forced prostitution (re: sex trafficking). When she tried to break free, Randall assaulted her and she was forced to defend herself. Easy case of self-defense, right? Wrong.
This case is layered and extremely frustrating so be prepared to get angry.
Thank you all for your support and we’ll be back February 1!

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.
