Greg Biffle’s friends conspired to steal his wealth after he died, records allege
Friends of Greg Biffle conspired to steal his wealth after the Hall of Fame NASCAR driver, his wife, their two children and three others died in a Dec. 18 plane crash at Statesville Regional Airport, a sheriff’s search warrant alleges.
“It is the belief of this affiant that a plan has been in place by friends of Gregory Biffle and strategically executed after the death of the Biffle family,” an Iredell County sheriff’s detective wrote in a March 10 search warrant application filed in court.
The officer said he believes that a Jan. 7 break-in at the Biffles’ home on Lake Norman in Mooresville “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,” according to the search warrant application.
The intruder spent “an extended amount of time inside the home” and stole $30,000 in cash, NASCAR memorabilia and two Glock handguns, sheriff’s officials said in a news release in January with photos of the intruder.
In the search warrant application, the officer also cited “the takeover of the financial accounts, email accounts, and the subsequent larceny of money owned by” Biffle and his wife, Cristina Grossu.
No one has been arrested in the case, which is under investigation.
Sheriff’s investigators matched the features of a person seen on surveillance video at the house break-in with those of a woman they saw at a Dec. 16 celebration of Greg Biffle’s life, according to the warrant. The woman was a friend of Grossu, a detective says in the warrant.
