Friends stole from NASCAR's Greg Biffle after his death, police say

Key Points:

• Investigators in North Carolina allege that two acquaintances of the late NASCAR driver Greg Biffle and his family conspired to break into their vacant home shortly after the family's fatal plane crash, stealing cash, guns, and financial information in an attempt to fraudulently obtain hundreds of thousands of dollars.
• The suspects, a married couple who had personal connections to Biffle and his wife, reportedly planned the crime extensively, with surveillance footage showing a woman familiar with the home’s layout spending nearly six hours inside the property during the break-in.
• Authorities uncovered evidence of financial crimes involving unauthorized access to the Biffles' bank, Venmo, and PayPal accounts, including changing contact details to control funds and transferring money to unrelated accounts across multiple states.
• The plane crash that killed Biffle, his family, and others remains under investigation, while multiple lawsuits have been filed against the estates of Biffle and the pilot, including claims alleging negligence in aircraft maintenance and wrongful death, with damages sought totaling tens of millions of dollars.
• Law enforcement continues to investigate the break-in and related financial crimes, with over 40 search warrants executed, but no arrests have yet been made.
