Family of 2 killed in Greg Biffle plane crash files wrongful death lawsuits against former NASCAR driver's estate

Less than a month after the plane crash, a break-in was reported at the Biffles’ home in Lake Norman, North Carolina. And  an Iredell County Sheriff’s Office detective wrote in a March report that he believes the break-in to be part of a larger scheme to take the family’s money.

Per a search warrant application, the incident “was a coverup to steal evidence of a more elaborate plan against the Biffle family and their wealth, not only of money but property as well.”

No arrests have been made in the case, but according to the Charlotte Observer, police have noticed similarities between a friend of Biffle’s wife who was at the family’s celebration of life and the person captured on video cameras at the family’s property and also matched the license plate of a pickup truck to the vicinity of their house on the date of the break-in.

There’s also allegedly been suspicious activity on Biffle family banking and financial accounts. From the Observer:

“Email address to accounts were changed, as well as phone numbers and passwords” and “fraudulent activity started on Cristina Grossu’s Venmo account, according to the warrant.

On Dec. 29, someone changed account information over the phone on Greg Biffle’s accounts at United Carolina Bank, the officer wrote. The next day, a fraudulent check was cashed at a UCB branch in Columbia S.C. from a Greg Biffle account, the warrant states.

“Another three checks were attempted from the same account at different UCB branches in South Carolina,” according to the warrant, which doesn’t say if the attempts succeeded.

Biffle, 55, competed for 16 seasons in NASCAR’s Cup Series. He won 19 races at NASCAR’s top level and is one of just two drivers to win titles in both the second-tier O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and third-tier Craftsman Truck Series.
