Just about every time Jordyn Peaks speaks out about her suicide attempt, she breaks stigmas, which is why we're so grateful she shared her story with us and with you for our February episode. She's heard this in one form or another many times, 'You're on TV, you're smart, beautiful and so driven, how could you have a suicide scare?' Truth is, anyone can. Jordyn talks openly about her journey: the darkness, the tears and the lights that finally shone through and led the way for her to achieve so much. Those lights are many: her family, friends and faith just to name a few. Speaking of, Jordyn's mother, Alicia, joins the episode to share her perspective from a parent's point of view. We're also honored to have such two powerful guests to reflect on February's designation as Black History Month.

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.
