Man charged with burglarizing Greg Biffle's home after fatal plane crash, investigation ongoing

On January 8, 2026, Terrell Williams, a 44-year-old man from Georgia, was charged with a string of felonies including second-degree burglary, safe cracking, money laundering, and possession of burglary tools after allegedly burglarizing the home of NASCAR legend Greg Biffle. Williams is currently being held without bond in Cobb County, Georgia.

The tragic plane crash that claimed the lives of Greg Biffle, his wife Cristina, their son Ryder, and their daughter Emma occurred on December 18, 2025. Biffle's mother, Cathy Rose Grossu, and his niece, Jordyn Biffle Carpenter, reported the break-in.

At least $30,000 in cash, NASCAR memorabilia, and two Glock handguns were stolen during the burglary. Some of the memorabilia, including silver and gold medals earned by Biffle during the Superstar Racing Experience, have been recovered. Investigators found a radio-frequency detector, which they believe Williams used to locate security cameras.

According to Sheriff Darren Campbell, Williams used social media and other means to determine when the Biffle residence was unoccupied. He executed his plan by entering the home and stealing the items. Williams spent several days conducting surveillance on the property before the burglary took place. A day after the break-in, Williams used stolen cash to purchase another vehicle in the area before leaving the state.

The investigation is ongoing, and Sheriff Campbell believes there may be other individuals involved in the case. Video surveillance showed additional people at the residence during the burglary, and Venmo and PayPal accounts belonging to the Biffles were accessed following the crash, leading to fraudulent checks being cashed in multiple states. Williams is not being charged in relation to these cases.
