Burglary
On Jan. 7-8 2026, an intruder forced entry through a bedroom door at the Mooresville, North Carolina home of NASCAR driver Greg Biffle, his wife Cristina Grossu, and their children. Surveillance showed a woman accessing the safe, taking $30,000 cash, two handguns, memorabilia and a backpack. Detectives say the suspect’s knowledge of camera placement and layout suggests an inside job.
Crash
Biffle’s family died in a Cessna Citation C550 crash near Statesville Regional Airport on Dec. 18 2025. Their email and banking accounts were accessed; a 2 a.m. email on Dec. 19 read, “I heard you’re dead, rest in hell.” Fraudulent transactions later totaled “hundreds of thousands of dollars,” including a cashed business check on Dec. 30.
Timeline
- Dec 18 2025 – Plane crash kills Biffle, his wife, children and three others.
- Jan 7-8 2026 – Home burglary; $30,000 cash and items stolen; surveillance recorded.
- Apr 23 2026 – Search warrants executed; electronic devices seized.
Official Response
Iredell County detectives told WBTV multiple suspects across several states are under investigation, and connections among them remain unclear.
On-Ground
Surveillance captured a hooded figure outside at ~11 p.m., then a woman entered, bypassed cameras, and accessed a safe. Detectives note the suspect’s familiarity with the safe-room and camera locations, implying insider knowledge.
Key Figures
Iredell County detectives lead the burglary probe; WBTV obtained the search warrants. An unnamed woman, described as a family friend, appears in the video and license-plate data. Affidavits reference other inner-circle members, none publicly named. The NTSB provided the crash report that frames the account-compromise timeline.
Conflicts
One source cites $30,000 in cash stolen, while another describes “hundreds of thousands of dollars” taken via fraudulent transactions. No suspect has been publicly identified, and seized electronic devices have not yielded definitive evidence.
Next Steps
Authorities plan further interviews, forensic analysis of the seized devices, and coordination with law-enforcement agencies in Pennsylvania, Lincoln County and other jurisdictions. The multi-state probe remains open pending new leads.
