Greg Biffle’s Home Burglarized Weeks After Fatal Plane Crash

By Alexus Mosley

In a grim development following one of NASCAR’s most heartbreaking tragedies, the North Carolina home of Greg Biffle was reportedly burglarized just weeks after the retired racing star, his wife, and their children were killed in a fatal plane crash.

According to the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office, deputies are investigating an alleged break-in at Biffle’s Mooresville residence that was reported last Thursday. Sheriff Darren Campbell confirmed that investigators believe the intruder forcibly entered a safe inside the home. Roughly $30,000 in cash, a backpack, firearms, and several personal items and pieces of memorabilia were reported missing.

The home was last known to be secure on the afternoon of January 7. No arrests have been made, and authorities say no one was inside the home at the time of the burglary. Investigators are currently reviewing digital evidence and conducting interviews as the case remains ongoing.

The burglary comes in the wake of the devastating December 18 plane crash that claimed the lives of seven people, including Biffle, his wife, their two children, and three others. The private Cessna C550 jet crashed shortly after takeoff while attempting to return to the airport in Statesville, North Carolina. Federal investigators reported that the aircraft erupted into flames upon impact, killing everyone on board.

At this time, no official cause of the crash has been released. While Biffle was one of three individuals on board licensed to fly, authorities have said it remains unclear who was piloting the aircraft at the time of the accident. A public memorial service honoring Biffle (who won 19 NASCAR Cup Series races during his career) and the six other victims is scheduled to take place Friday morning at a Charlotte-area arena.

Beyond the investigation, the burglary has struck many as a deeply unsettling reminder of how grief and vulnerability can be exploited. In moments meant for mourning and reflection, acts like these feel especially jarring, an intrusion not just into a home, but into a family’s final private space.

As the community continues to grieve, authorities urge anyone with information related to the break-in to come forward.
