**TRIGGER WARNING: Child Abuse/Death**
This episode is going to be rough, y'all. We are sad, infuriated, and feeling helpless about how children in Oklahoma can be failed by so many adults that are supposed to be there to protect them.
We talk about what *ALLEGEDLY* took place in the death of Athena Brownfield within the last few weeks and we talk about an older case that is equally as horrific and infuriating from back in the early 2000's. This is an ongoing problem in Oklahoma (and elsewhere) that will continue to get worse if something in the system is not fundamentally changed.
This episode is pretty raw and extremely uncensored, due to the nature of the subject we suggest discretion in listening.

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.
