Today we’re joined by Mary Bizot Johnson, who served as a Political Officer in the U.S. Foreign Service for 22 years. Her work as a U.S. diplomat took her primarily through tours of service in Africa and Korea. A highlight of her career was organizing a conference to raise awareness of the human trafficking of women and children in Asia.

She was a missionary in Africa for the Unification movement from 1975-1991, which she joined at 23. From an interest in science and nature at a younger age, her work through the Unification movement led to a shift in trying to address the world’s issues from the mind to the heart.

Mary has two children and four lovely grandchildren.

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.
