Georgia Man Charged With Burglarizing NASCAR Driver Biffle's Home

A Georgia man has been charged with burglarizing the North Carolina home of former NASCAR driver Greg Biffle after learning Biffle and his family died in a plane crash, Iredell County Sheriff Darren Campbell said Tuesday.

Terrell Williams, 44, faces charges of second-degree burglary, safe cracking, money laundering and other felonies. He is currently held without bond in Cobb County, Georgia, on suspicion of a separate home burglary there. Jail records did not list an attorney for Williams.

Campbell said investigators identified Williams as a suspect in July, after Cobb County police arrested him and found items taken from Biffle's home.

Biffle, his wife and two children, along with three others, died in the December 18 plane crash, which remains under investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board.

Authorities said a break-in at Biffle's home was reported on January 8. Investigators say $30,000 in cash, two Glock handguns, NASCAR memorabilia, and gold and silver coins were stolen. Some items, including the memorabilia, have since been recovered, along with a radio-frequency detector investigators believe Williams used to locate security cameras.

Campbell said Williams is also a suspect in another North Carolina burglary that occurred while a law enforcement officer was hospitalized.

“He used headlines, social media posts, different things to find out when people were and were not home, and he executed his plan in that capacity,” Campbell said.

Separately, investigators have identified a person of interest in a fraud case connected to the Biffle family's death. According to a search warrant affidavit, bank, Venmo and PayPal accounts tied to the Biffles were accessed online using personal information, with phone numbers and email addresses changed to seize control of funds. Money was allegedly transferred to outside accounts and used for purchases across multiple states. At least one fraudulent check tied to Biffle's business interests was cashed, and other attempts were made to access accounts.
