Georgia man charged with burglarizing NASCAR driver Greg Biffle’s home after plane crash
A Georgia man, Terrell Williams, 44, has been charged with burglarizing the home of former NASCAR driver Greg Biffle following the latter's plane crash, according to a North Carolina sheriff. Williams faces multiple felony charges, including second-degree burglary, safe cracking, and money laundering. He was arrested in July in Cobb County, Georgia, and is currently being held without bond in connection to another home burglary.
The Biffle family, along with three others, died in a plane crash on December 18, which is still under investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). Biffle, his wife, and his two children were among the victims. In the burglary incident, investigators found $30,000 in cash, two Glock handguns, NASCAR memorabilia, and gold and silver coins stolen from the home.
Some of the stolen items have been recovered, including NASCAR memorabilia. Investigators believe Williams used social media posts and radio-frequency detectors to determine when the Biffles were away from home, allowing him to execute his burglary plan. Williams is also suspected in another North Carolina burglary that occurred while a law enforcement officer was in the hospital.
Authorities have found evidence of fraudulent bank, Venmo, and PayPal accounts linked to the Biffle family, with money allegedly transferred to unauthorized accounts for personal gain.
