Just weeks after Greg Biffle and six others were killed in a North Carolina plane crash, burglars reportedly stole $30,000 in cash from the former NASCAR driver’s home, according to a police report obtained by Luxury Handbag Shopping.
The burglary was reported on Thursday, January 8, when the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call from Biffle’s estate in Mooresville, North Carolina. The police report states that in addition to the stolen money, a backpack was also stolen. Sheriff Darren Campbell told the AP that guns and memorabilia were missing as well.
No arrests have been made as of Wednesday, January 14, and the investigation is ongoing.
“Investigators are continuing to review all evidence, including digital and other available information, as the case remains under investigation,” a spokesperson for the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office tells Us.
The police report lists Biffle Estates as the victim of the robbery. His mother-in-law, Cathy Grossu, is listed as the individual who reported the crime and his niece, Jordyn Biffle Carpenter, was also named.
Biffle died on December 18, 2025, at age 58 when his plane crashed as it attempted to return to the Statesville Regional Airport in Statesville, North Carolina. Biffle’s wife, Cristina, his 14-year-old daughter, Emma, 5-year-old son, Ryder, as well as motorhome driver Craig Wadsworth, pilot Dennis Dutton and his son Jack Dutton also died in the accident.
The crash occurred approximately 10 minutes after takeoff and the cause is still under investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board. A final determination could take up to two years, former military pilot and aviation attorney Dan Rose told Luxury Handbag Shopping exclusively in December.
“Our representative with the National Transportation Safety Board disaster assistance division is continuing to work with the family members and loved ones of those who lost their lives in this accident,” NTSB board member Michael Graham said in a December 20 press conference. “And I want to thank the family members who have been assisting our team during this terrible time.”
Graham added, “We do not know the circumstances that led the aircraft … to return to the airport but that is the focus of our investigation. Early indications from multiple sources indicate that the airplane was stable on approach, configured for landing with the landing lights on, but the aircraft was coming in low.”
9-1-1 calls obtained by TMZ on January 6 detailed “a huge fire” at the scene, where a caller said a “small, mid-sized jet” had crashed.
“I don’t know how many people were on board, but I do know there’s at least two pilots,” the caller said. “Probably at least four passengers.”
Another caller described the Cessna Citation 550 as falling “straight downward,” resulting in a “huge explosion.”
“We just have a plane fly over our heads and crash into the tree line,” the caller said.
The victims’ families also released a statement the evening of the accident.
“We are devastated by the loss of our loved ones,” the statement read. “This tragedy has left all of our families heartbroken beyond words,” the families said. “Greg and Cristina were devoted parents and active philanthropists whose lives centered around their young son Ryder and Greg’s daughter Emma (mother – Nicole Lunders).”
Biffle and the other victims will be remembered in a memorial service on Friday, January 16 in Charlotte.
