It started with a friend request. Then a petty comment. Then a block. Then… murder.

In this jaw-dropping episode of Crime Clueless, we’re diving into one of the pettiest—and most tragic—double murders ever linked to a social media fight: the killings of Billie Jean Hayworth and Billy Payne, two young parents gunned down in their home in Mountain City, Tennessee, while their baby lay in Billie’s arms.

And behind it all? A wannabe-crime-boss grandma with a gun, a jealous ex-girlfriend with Wi-Fi rage, and a group of unhinged accomplices known as “The Crips”—and no, not those Crips. This is small-town vengeance turned murder conspiracy turned… “you cannot make this up.”

We’ll walk you through the absolutely bonkers events that led to two young lives being taken over blocked Facebook profiles, explore how a baby was left crying in his dead mother’s arms, and ask the ultimate question: How did so many people willingly sign up for a murder plan this ridiculous?

This one has drama, dysfunction, and enough red flags to fill your feed. Buckle up.
