<\/p>\nInformation linked to Greg and Cristina Biffle\u2019s bank accounts was changed and fraudulent activity detected on Cristina\u2019s Venmo account within 24 hours of their deadly plane crash in December, according to recently released search warrants.<\/p>\n
Investigators claim the activity on the accounts began within hours after the December 18 crash at the Statesville, North Carolina, airport. Killed in the crash were Biffle, his two children, his wife, pilot Dennis Dutton, his son Jack Dutton, and friend Craig Wadsworth.<\/p>\n

The day after the crash, information linked to bank accounts belonging to the couple, including passwords, phone numbers, and email addresses, was changed, investigators said. This was also when fraudulent activity was detected on Cristina\u2019s Venmo account. <\/p>\n
Investigators said that by December 30, a fraudulent check had been cashed from one of the Biffles\u2019 accounts, and three more attempts were made. <\/p>\n
Then on the night of January 7 and into January 8, someone broke into the couple\u2019s home in Mooresville, North Carolina. Surveillance video released by law enforcement earlier this year shows a woman walking through the house. It\u2019s stated in documents that she appeared to know the house\u2019s layout, including where security cameras were located, as well as Biffle\u2019s closet and safe room. According to investigators, she spent six hours inside the house, taking $30,000 in cash, jewelry, and multiple guns.<\/p>\n

During the January 16 celebration of life service for the plane crash victims in Charlotte, North Carolina, law enforcement surveilled the crowd looking for the woman, who was identified in documents as a family friend. They believe they identified a woman who matched the one seen in the video. Documents state a license plate reader reportedly captured a vehicle associated with her near the Biffles\u2019 home shortly before the January break-in. <\/p>\n
After police publicly released the surveillance footage, the woman allegedly traveled to Pennsylvania after deciding not to attend a gathering with friends. <\/p>\n
Investigators noted in the documents that multiple people with intimate knowledge of the couple\u2019s finances may have been involved, and that the January break-in may have been intended to cover up a larger plan to steal additional assets.<\/p>\n
