In this heart-wrenching true crime story, we uncover the tragic case of toddler Jamie Drain and the shocking confession of his own mother, Raja Drain. What begins as a missing persons case in Bertie County, North Carolina, quickly spirals into a multi-state manhunt. After fleeing to Connecticut, Raja is finally found and brought back to face justice, but the story doesn't end there.

Join us as we explore how this devastating crime unfolded, the relentless work of law enforcement, and the chilling final moments of Jamie's life. We also delve into the questions left unanswered and the pain of a family left with grief instead of closure.

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.
