All Episodes

October 11, 2025 • 35 mins

This week, we’re taking a look at cases that bring up questions about the signs leading up to crimes. Are there ways for us to predict when a perpetrator will strike, ways to prevent crimes from happening? Are we doing enough to make sure perpetrators won’t strike again? You’ll hear from KNX News’ the LA Local podcast about the man arrested for starting the massive Pacific Palisades Fire that claimed 12 lives while also ruining homes, businesses and more. You’ll also hear from a crime expert in New Orleans about a carjacker with a frightening past and from the legal team of a woman who claims she was sexually abused by a nurse in Michigan about that nurse’s alleged history of assault.

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.
