Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the case of a real life fairy godmother.
Her name is Jamie Ward and she founded the nonprofit
Jamie's Dream Team in two thousand and five. She actually
had issues herself. She was born with a birth defect
and endured dozens of surgery so she would know well.
One of these wishes that she made was to a
young woman, an eleven year old named Audrey Bakaki, who

(00:23):
survived a tragic car crash this summer that took the
lives of her dad and two siblings. And after learning
about that, Aubrey just loves Taylor Swift, so Ward's organizations
heared tickets for the tween and her mom to attend
the singer's Eras tour in Indianapolis.

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?
