Episode 5 - Belle of the Ball

We jump back into the late 1800's and early 1900's to get a glimpse of Brynhild Paulsdatter Storset aka Belle Gunness. The woman who made us realize that insurance fraud has been around a lot longer than we thought and who may have been the very first Craigslist killer. This story is crazy and the mysteries she left in her wake may never be solved.

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.
