Tennessee Horror: Ex Quadruple Murder & The Infant Left on the LawnThe bodies of four family members are discovered in a small Tennessee town, launching a massive manhunt for one man: Austin Drummond.

This is the shocking story of the Tiptonville quadruple murder. We trace the terrifying timeline of events that began not with the discovery of the bodies, but with the mysterious abandonment of a seven-month-old infant left in a car seat on a stranger's lawn.Join us as we explore the relentless pursuit of Drummond—a recently released ex-convict with a connection to the family. Authorities believed the crime was a targeted attack, yet they noted a disturbing paradox: the killer, who executed four people, showed a moment of compassion by sparing the baby's life and ensuring she was found.In this episode, we investigate:
  • Who were the victims: Cortney Rose, Adrianna Williams, James Wilson, and Braydon Williams?
  • The crucial 40-mile distance between the murder scene and where the baby was abandoned.
  • The critical role of surveillance footage and accomplices during Drummond's week-long run.
This is a deep dive into a case where ultimate violence and a moment of strange mercy collided.

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.
