Police in North Carolina are investigating claims that acquaintances of retired NASCAR star Greg Biffle broke into his family’s empty home and attempted to drain their finances soon after his death.
The scheme allegedly unfolded less than a month following the December 18 plane crash that killed Biffle, his wife Cristina, their two children, and three other passengers.
Iredell County Sheriff Darren Campbell reported that authorities have obtained more than 40 search warrants in connection with the case, focusing on a husband and wife who had ties to the Biffle family. Officials believe the pair carefully orchestrated efforts to profit from the tragedy, though no charges have been filed and the individuals have not been named publicly.
A break-in was reported at the Mooresville residence on January 8. Intruders made off with $30,000 in cash, two Glock pistols, and various NASCAR-related items.
Video evidence captured a woman who appeared well-acquainted with the property’s interior, navigating camera locations, storage areas, and a secure room during a nearly six-hour visit overnight.
The male suspect first connected with Biffle while the driver used his helicopter for Hurricane Helene relief missions. The female suspect had visited the home for a Christmas gathering shortly before the fatal flight.
Records also point to rapid attempts to change passwords and access banking details tied to the family.
The National Transportation Safety Board continues to examine the crash.
