Why don’t victims of domestic violence leave relationships? What do assailants do to keep them from leaving? What did you experience? What triggered you to leave? What did Diane learn about her sister after she was killed? What answers did she want to know?
Diane will tell her story about the impact of the murder on her family. How so many feelings and discussions took place afterwards to find anything that might have led to Sue’s murder. In the midst of helping to manage the estate, so much was found that gave some insight to why her sister was brutally murdered by her husband. The questions still linger as to why Sue did not leave her abuser.

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.
