This week, Drewby and Yergy discuss the tragic case of Erica Green, or as she was more famously known, Precious Doe. Erica's mother, Michelle Johnson, and her new man, Harrell, murdered the little girl, decapitated her, and then disposed of her body in the woods. She was discovered by chance by authorities searching for a missing elderly man. Erica's identity was unknown for years, until the most unlikely source came forward... Harrell's own grandfather.

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.
