Police have confirmed that thieves stole a large amount of cash and other valuables from the property while the family was still mourning.Biffle, his wife, their two children, and three others died on December 18 when their private plane crashed shortly after takeoff.

According to police records, deputies in Iredell County, located outside Charlotte, responded to reports of a break-in at Biffle’s home on January 8.

Officers are also conducting interviews as part of the ongoing investigation.While the burglary case unfolds, aviation officials are still trying to determine what caused the deadly crash. The Cessna C550 aircraft was reportedly in the air for only about ten minutes before turning back toward the runway. As it attempted to land, the plane burst into flames upon touching down, killing everyone on board.The National Transportation Safety Board is now examining why the pilots made a sudden and unusual U-turn shortly after takeoff. Emergency calls from witnesses described the aircraft exploding into a massive fireball, leaving no chance of survival.Biffle was one of three passengers on the plane who held a pilot’s license. Since retiring from NASCAR, he had developed a strong interest in flying and even helped with helicopter rescue efforts during Hurricane Helene in 2024.Greg Biffle and the six other victims have already been laid to rest in emotional services.
