- Susan Smith killed her two sons, a three-year-old and a 14-month-old, in 1994 by pushing her car into a lake while the boys were still strapped into their car seats. The South Carolina mom was sentenced to life in prison, with the possibility of release after 30 years. As her first parole hearing approaches, Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber sits down with former prosecutor Matt Mangino to take a closer look at the heinous crime, Smith’s behavior behind bars, and what she had to say during steamy conversations with multiple suitors.

@LawAndCrime ☑ THANKS FOR DELETING MY BIBLICAL REPLIES. PATHETIC
I just want my babies.
@ mike odonnell what a pathetic actress Susan was/is
She should ABSOLUTELY NEVER be released.
if you would be in prison you would like to be release wouldn't you?
@@iuliua I don’t murder children.
@@iuliua do you even know what she did - she drove her car into a lake with her two young (alive) children in it -she should never ever be released
@@iuliuayou know how crazy that sounds??? Those little boys can't ever come back,😢 not now, not ever... Their gone forever...
The fact she is being released is proof this justice system is broken
Please don't grant this woman parole.
Okay I won't
@@TimothyMcVayyour music sux.
No matter how pretty the thumbnail is the crime was far worse.
everyone deserves a 2nd chance
@jamedlock83 Those innocent children aren't getting a second chance. Once a killer always in the blood.
No remorse from this woman. She's a psychopath. Never release her.
Bet they release her...everyone has turned soft on crime and punishment..
Demon possession She is Not alone many of the Invaders are satanic work shippers they came to steal killed and destroyed
Agreed. And a great WELL DONE to Side Bar for a straightforward clear representation!
No she’s evil
@@aprilsims8309 Ya think, lol
I’m 32 and her sons would’ve been a little older than me. She needs to keep rotting in jail! Those boys would’ve been at their prime right now, no way she should be free.
I remember praying for the kids, at a Bible study group, and this feeling came over me that it was all over with and the boys were already found. Just then, another lady came busting into the room and said, "She drowned her kids in the lake." And we all instantly knew who she was talking about.
My son is 36. The answer is NO.
Shes not rotting , shes eating drinking watching movies and socializing...getting full medical coverage and probably has a lover on top of it .American are fools when it comes to justice
NO 😡
She left her babies in their car seats and they drowned. This evil woman needs to stay behind bars. Sickening.
Why in the world would they ever give her parole? That’s so evil!😢
And she watched them drown... All over a married man that didn't want her.
The oldest was able to get out of his car seat. He was crying and screaming while looking out the back window at her. This case made me sick ! Sad thing is, she will probably be released.
@@boycee1
It was dark outside as the car rolled into the water. Both boys strapped in their car seats, asleep.
When the car was found, both boys were strapped in their car seats. Heartbreaking story. No need to add untruths.
@boycee1 you just killed me with this, I never knew that he got out of his car seat 😭😭😭😭😭😭
This woman utterly disgust me.
@@rickhammond2473. Please 🙏 tell me what this has to do with anything??!! People from all backgrounds come from abuse and violence and trauma. She shows no remorse!!!!!
@rickhammond2473 There are millions of people who had horrible childhoods. They didn't kill their kids. She killed two boys, left them in a car to drown. Why didn't she leave them with their father who would have been more than happy to take them. She is sick and I hope she is never released. She is a monster!
@@rickhammond2473her sob story of her upbringing was very exaggerated and so what?! That gives you the right to murder your two children?!?!?!?
@@rickhammond2473 always excuses, always a bad child hood etc thats what every serial killer drug cartel, ruthless criminals, Palestinian terrorists. Disgusting when so many others grew up in similar conditions and didn't victimize others.
@@Dgervelis1Oh, so abuse has nothing to do with a persons mental state….lol
Who are the sick dudes willing to give money to baby killer?!? WTF...
Same sickos as the women that marry killers who are doing life in prison.
Exactly!!!
Repugnicans who tan their junk is who@@janrobnettwordweaver2227
they need and want cooder so badly because they can't get none the normal way.
They’re the same as silly girls who become pen pals or even wives of violent criminals or murderers. Some things just defy explanation.
The boys' father said he will be at the parole hearing to oppose her release. She has been in contact with men on the phone who said they will take her in. I read some of the things said, raunchy, and a man has to be hard up to take care of her. She should never be released.
why would any man wwant that monster???
@@sandrah0330 where'd you read that!?! Honest question tho
@@JENKEN425because she is hot!
@@MrWelfarehater gross!!!
@@JENKEN425 what Susan Smith did was atrocious. No argument. But you asked why a guy would want such a monster. As a guy I am giving you my perspective and opinion. Like it or not Susan Smith is attractive physically. I am almost 60 and personally not into Girls under 50. She is skinny, has a pretty face and nice features. Most likely has nice teeth. Prison guards have fallen to her.
She should never get released.
She won’t
Oh Susan.
Susan Smith should have been taken away from the courthouse in 1995 and given a lethal injection.
She must never be given parole she is a heartless monster .
There was another recently arrested in the US for executing (shot in the head) her two beautiful boys in their beds. Her appearance before the judge is on youtube now and apparently she wants a plea deal. Vile.
They parole almost anyone they just want them out
IM SHOCKED SHE IS ALIVE. THE PRISONERS NEVER GOT TO HER.
@@JENKEN425that's because they've had her in a protective cell she's isolated from other inmates unfortunately has she been put in general population back in 94 she wouldn't even be here
I don’t believe that she should be released. She is a danger to society, and I hope that she stays in jail for the rest of her life for what she did.
She should never get out. Justice for Michael and Alexander
Those poor babies were found HOLDING HANDS because they were scared. If she is released, the justice system is a joke!
OMG!
@@margaretthatcher6828 Right? She is SICK!!
I REALLY wish I hadn't read that.
@@SueP-jg9vx It's extremely sad. I have always thought of those innocent angels.
@@lindseyrhynes4072 that is commendable. I try hard to forget this stuff. Depression is bad already...I keep trying to stop watching true crime but it never works
Look at her "smug shots". I don't see one inch of regret in her face. She looks well groomed, as if life in prison had treated her well.
I agree with this 💯
Right she’s actually aged well in prison. 🤦🏻♀️
I thought that too. She looks better now than when she murdered her children. What's that say about her?
@@panativeandnaturegirl5862 pure manipulation
Hey she was well fed and taken care of by the tax payers and will continue to as hard working people live in poverty and tents and don't have access to medical care as she does.....makes my effin blood boil.
No parole! She should never be allowed out of prison!
She strapped her two children into they're car seats put her car in neutral and pushed it into the lake she should never ever get out to see the light of day she needs to stay locked up
if she gets loose, those little boys will not have gotten justice. NO PAROLE!
AMEN 🙏 ty for saying that
How is she even eligible for parole she murdered two little babies
Multi-tiered justice?
She was sentenced to 30 years with the possibility of parole after the 30 years. Many many inmates have these type of sentences and they never see the light of day. It is highly unlikely she will ever be paroled.
Especially since she is being incredibly foolish about showing no remorse and her plans to get out and continue to manipulate, live off others and have fun. There is already evidence she should not be paroled.
People on the jury felt more sorry for her then her babies!
Look at California and Nys. They let murders out constantly, and nys is closing down another 5 prisons this year because crime is so low according to the governor
Do NOT let her out. EVER.
She should never be paroled.
Keep her behind bars ! SHE INTENTIONALLY MURDERED TWO DEFENSIVE BABIES AND LEFT THEM STRAPPED IN THEIR SEATS SO THEY HAD NO CHANCE OF SURVIVAL
EXACTLY. PREMEDITATED MURDER = DEATH BIBLICALLY. SHE'S LUCKY SHE'S ALIVE. NO WAY SHE GETS OUT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
Thise kids were so beautiful and innocent dont fogetvabout that judge
They suffered a Horrific death 😢
You mean DEFENSELESS
found holding hands💔💔💔
She wanted those children out of her way so she could have a man ...there is no excuse and she should stay in jail
hes such a lucky dude.
@@GodsChosen69Lucky ??????
One who didn’t even want her.She thought if the kids were out of the way he’d change his mind.
She hasn’t changed one bit.The parole board hopefully sees that.
@@macnchessplzshe’s Diane downs 2.0, who also had the chance at parole recently and didn’t get it :)
@@user-gd8jk3ds4cthere’s a thing called sarcasm, learn to recognize it.
She should never get out of prison. Ever.
They should deny her parole indefinitely. Parole should have never been a possibility in the first place.
If they're smart they'll keep denying her she should never see the light of day
Don't you dare let her OUT.!!😡
They won't.
Let's hope not 😢❤!!!@@landscape674
@krugmeister7301 What you gonna if they do let her out??
No! She should never be paroled. She is a monster
The fact the she even has the opportunity to parole is a shame in itself.
Why is there even a chance that she could be given parole?
Under. The. Jail.
I still remember this case like yesterday, she never ever ever should be released, lied and murdered her two babies!!!!!
I was 12! And not really able to grasp how those babies drowned. Now a 42 yr old mom and I am just disgusted.
I was young and I saw it and I was crying, I knew what she did and I remember wondering how she could do that to such cute innocent babies. Disgusting and evil.
I was a senior in high school and I remember this very well. She should never be let out.
I remember this case vividly. I am the same age and had my two babies the same ages as her angels. This case gave me sick to my stomach. I couldn't imagine how she could do such evil to her innocent little babies.
I don't believe she should ever be released. She is pure evil. Her two precious boys never had a chance neither should she.
Has the grieving father been 'released' from HIS tragedy? NO. She should stay in hers.
She must never leave prison in the names of her sons Michael and Alexander
She should have gotten capital punishment.
%100 Americans are so lame
I hope this killer never gets out of prison.
How does she even have parole?
That's what I'd like to know too! WTF!?
hawk tuah!
It was the 90's.
She doesn’t have parole. She has the _possibility_ of parole.
Exactly.
NOPE !!! 👎🏻 Do not release this monster !!!
She should spend her life in prison after what she did.
This happened about the time I was going through infertility treatments. It made me so sad that she was able to unalive her sons while so many women are unable to have children
Yup.
Those children are gone forever that’s exactly how long she should be in jail
I hope this wicked woman never gets out.
Have you read about her upbringing I I am guessing you have not with that comment.Maybe you should and you may learn something.
@@rickhammond2473I have and I couldn’t care less about her upbringing. So now what?
@@rickhammond2473, she murdered her two babies. Premeditated murder of two innocent babies. I am not the least bit interested in her upbringing.
@@rickhammond2473 it doesn't excuse her actions but I would be interested in knowing? I like to try to understand why and see if there could have been a clue that was missed
@@rickhammond2473read her upbringing??? 🤧 🎻 let me get ready for a long sob story. What about her kids damn upbringing oh wait she took that from them to get fkd by some guy who didn’t like kids. If that doesn’t make your blood boil idk what will. How she hasn’t gotten offed in prison is puzzling. I bet she must have been in pc all them years. Coward
Cannot believe it’s been 30 years already. I remember it like it was yesterday.
All she had to do was give the children to the father, if she didn't want them.
yes but he mighta tried to get her to pay child support, she would have to explaiin to people why she gave her kids away. she woukd be expected to have visitation. she clearly is a psycopathic narc sicko.
@@detective___mcnulty If she felt she could no longer take care of her kids or did not want to continue to take care of her kids, she could have brought her kids to her parents, husbands parents or other family members or contacted DCF/DCYF, dropped them off at the fire or police dept. She had several options.
This woman needs to spend the rest of her life in prison,
With pictures and videos of those babies 24/7, playing continuously
@@erikalantto-bedini6309 She wouldn't care. Sickos don't care that they kill.
@@erikalantto-bedini6309 and the video of her car being pulled out of the lake.
@@msbigdog1460 yes
I was 26 when she did this. The cops did not believe her story. They kinda let her hang herself with her behavior with the crocodile tears, when she addressed the public. Why did she not get two life sentences? There were two babies. What goes through my mind, and always did, was what those babies went through. Also, what did those babies go through in her care, before the drownings?
she probably got them ran concurrent knowing the justice system usually they will make plea deals to run your crimes together
I have family from that town. The residents believed it. They were riding around town in their trucks with nooses. It was a lot of tension.
@@carrington2949 That I did not know that. What a nightmare
why didnt she get death row???? her state must not have it.
@@JENKEN425 I don't know. However, she should never get out of prison
David Smith wanted custody of the kids but, giving them to him was just a bridge too far for this woman. She should never walk free again
I remember this, her, those poor babies... I was young, but I remember feeling so sad for those precious kids... She should never be released....
She should NEVER be allowed out!
Please, Never let her out. Please.
She should be denied parole for the next 300 parole hearings.
This is sickening
Please don’t let her out!😡🤬
She needs to stay in prison, this woman is sick.
She should have been given capital punishment.
I hope the boys dad will be at the parole hearing....
That man suffered so bad. U could see his pain
I can't imagine he wouldn't be. If he can't be there, I would imagine there will be a letter that will state the cons of release. Atleast I pray that would be the case.
Amen!
I would imagine he wouldn’t miss the opportunity to be there.
I read in above comments that he said he would be
I’ll NEVER forget this case. 💔💔
Neither will I! 😢😢😢
Same here
I don’t think anyone who was alive then will, it was heartbreaking. And hard to believe it was thirty years ago already, those boys would be grown with families who loved them by now 😢
Neither will I until the day I die, I will always see those two little smiling boys' faces.😢 I cannot imagine the horror they endured drowning slowly with no way to escape.💔
Nor I. So tragic.
"Child killer" and "potential prison release" in the same sentence is insane.
The public won't allow her to be released. The pressure will be on ...
The fact any man wants to hook up with her is amazing. She needs to stay in prison for killing her sons who never had a chance to live.
Chris watts has followers. They actually blame Shannan for everything and say he was correct in what he did. She pushed him. What is wrong with these people? Sick sick sick
@@karenmariecraig5619 Wow!! No, I didn't know that. These people are sick!!
This has been a thing since Manson.
@@VirtuousWarrior-wr2fvIt’s messed up
@@VirtuousWarrior-wr2fv Yikes.
Honestly, I think it’s the 1st time I have seen someone look better after 30 years in prison than when she entered
Right! That's what I was thinking. She really thrived in prison.
Same thoughts every time I’ve seen her photos.
I was thinking the exact same thing!!
She obviously is still manipulating people to this day!
Right? What kind of prison makeover is this?!
Dude, she needs to stay in her seat like she sentenced her children to.
I remember when this happened. My mother-in-law and I watched her television interview/plea for their return and my MIL automatically said, "That woman is lying. She killed her kids." I thought MIL was being kind of toxic and unsympathetic, but she was 100% correct. Some people pursue higher education to learn the nuances of body and facial language, but I swear, my MIL could _smell_ the guilt through the television. She just had that kind of instinct. RIP to her, and RIP to those poor little boys. Susan Smith is as evil as it gets. She'd be better off staying in jail, because it's a different world today than the world she left when she went to prison. People are more extreme these days. She should never be granted parole, anyway.
OMG this exactly what happened with me and my sister..I told my sister the same exact thing and my sister stopped talking to me because of this and a few weeks later the world found out that I was saying the truth. I was actually just right across the street from the murder scene on vacation and unfortunately got back home completely traumatized and never went back to North Carolina.
Did your sister start talking to you again?
That’s the same thing I said while watching Chris Watts being interviewed after his family went “missing”…..he was babbling on and I said, “He’s lying, that man killed his family….they aren’t missing, they are dead”……monsters are amongst us!
I know David will be at her parole hearing to make sure she doesn't get out. She could have just given those babies to him.
Exactly
@@cathyprosser1050 yes! She thought killing them was a better idea and now thinks she did her time and she is ready to get out????? Noway will she get out.
She has absolutely zero remorse.@@gracejones2831
She could have done that and taken her own life instead, but she is a coward and craves attention.
@garylivingston9052 Oh yes she is definitely a coward and a narcissist. Sadly this crap is becoming way too common.
It's obscene that she would ever get out. Her babies won't get their lives" back..
Absolutely not. Let her rot in jail.
How does she look younger today than she did in her mugshot
Susan Smith needs to stay in prison forever!!!! What she did is worse than ….. you fill in the blanks!
Casey Anthony, living free. Justice seems to be nothing but the roll of the dice.
@TinyStar-oz3bo I tend to disagree. The prosecutor in the Casey Anthony case brought those charges WAY before they had sufficient evidence. I guess the concept of a jury is kind of a game of chance, but you’d think 12 people would be able to figure it out.
@@Sniperboy5551 Yes, I agree with you they went to trial unprepared. But that has no bearing on her actual "innocence" and her lawyer was a complete scumbag, too.
@@Sniperboy5551as I recall the Casey Anthony jury foreperson stated (and they all agreed) they found her not guilty BUT didn’t think she was innocent. The state fudged the case 100%.
Stay in jail please.
What she did to those babies was horrendous!! She needs to stay in there forever
HOW did this woman manage last THIS LONG without any of the inmates being able to TOUCH her???
that is what i asked!!!!
I cannot imagine what those sweet boys went through in their final moments! I don’t understand how she was given chance of parole to even begin with!!
Drowning is the worst way to die. Poor kids.😢
Horrible sentence by the judge. It should have been life without the possibility of parole.
She knows she's not getting out. She's just scamming people for money.
Was she given any extra time for enticing the two law enforcement officers? Susan Smith should NEVER breathe free air again!
@@mikesercanto9149 Generally those infractions are handled with limitations in prison privileges.
@@eggsngritstn interesting.
Enticed? 😂 I don't think either man needed encouragement to do what they did.
no, the correctional officers are the ones punished, not the inmate.
@@margaretwilkett7830 Well, they weren’t caught with someone else? Takes two to tango and she picked the Captain and Lieutenant.
what a horrible human being she is......how could she think she would ever get out of prison, how could she want to?? where is the remorse?
Remorse? Some human beings don't have that, and she is one of them.
of course she wants to get out of prison. who wouldn't but she doesn't deserve it
She shows no remorse
she allegedly has men lined uo to help her if she gets out,. we all know those romances would never last.
I remember her fake crying a lot when media was filming her. She acted like a grieving mother and victim. No way should she be released. She shown no remorse.
I remember this case, totally horrific and this woman needs to stay exactly where she is now!!! Those beautiful babies didn’t deserve to die like that , especially by the one person that was supposed to protect them!!!!
Never ever release this monster
That photo of the car being pulled out of the lake, was that the boys in the backseat that I saw? So heartbreaking!
Yes. They were holding hands
@@loridavis5699I didn't hear that but I heard they saw a hand on the window 😢 when they pulled the car out
@@loridavis5699not holding hands. That’s a myth.
@@JanelsJoint same thing i heard, never heard they were holding hands ,either way it’s heartbreaking 💔😢
The possibility of release, at all, is wrong on all levels.
No parole,EVER! PURE EVIL should rot in prison until her last breath! 😮
She should never be allowed out.
She's NOT getting out.....EVER
I don't think she will. She's been in trouble since she's been locked up. The board will take ALL OF IT into account, and there's ALOT.
I can’t see her getting out. No way
she could be 100% goody two shoes and she would STILL not get out in South Carolina!!
Plus virtually no-one gets out first parole...this woman is the devil
@@Scion-cy6wjI hope you're right.
For some reason wheni hear about this case i think of Jodi Arias these women should never be on the street
This wouldn't be an issue if she had received the death penalty, but the idiotic jurors instead gave her free rent and free food for 30 years.
She's gotta be the only person to look BETTER after 30 years in prison. She's been playing the system.
Dude, I dun think she's even HUMAN... 😳
I was thinking the same thing.
She's known to have slept with the prisoner. guards, There is a documentary on her story on Tubi
@@flowerchild3312 Yeah, well their semen must be the Fountain of Youth....
@@flowerchild3312 Tubi over there doing it!
I'm sorry but this woman doesn't deserve parole. She deserves to be in prison for the rest of her life. She killed her two innocent babies because she cared more about having a man in her life and didn't care about her babies' lives. I don't think she will be given parole because of the kind of inmate she was throughout the past 30 years.
@@nikkiej.5875 you shouldn't be sorry. On another note you are 100% correct she does not deserve to ever get out
@@dustinmercer1378 For the past 30 years, she has never expressed remorse for killing her children. I hope she is having a very hard time in prison since a lot of inmates don’t like other inmates who kill children.
@@nikkiej.5875 me too👍. here's to hoping she never sees the light of day🤞
She should NOT ever be released
She murdered her children and should never be released. It's sickening that she is even allowed to have a chance of parole. 😡😠🤬
I remember this very well. My firstborn son was less than a year old when this happened.
I had the picture of those two sweet little boys on my refrigerator for a long time.
I cried every time something was reported about it on the news.
That horrible woman needs to NEVER be let out of prison!!
This woman delusional if she think she is getting out of prison. During her time locked up Susan Smith have been a very troubled prison mate. She has been in affairs with the prison guards, she been caught with drugs, and her behavior has been unacceptable. The parole board mostly look for to see if a prisoner has been well behave while serving their time. It weighs heavy on the board they take it very serious.
im a bit shocked none of the prison guards did nit help her escape.
@@JENKEN425 me too.
Why wasn’t she dealt with in jail already!?
Her children would be in their 30’s now if they lived.
She went in looking all homely & plain but she now looks improved, older but looking bight & well... clearly prison isn't as harsh as it should be for baby killers
How do you go from potential death penalty to a Life with parole after 30, should have been LWOP
A life sentence is 30 years
I agree
@@chrisdidonna7371 the state she’s in didn’t have LWOP until after her trial
Murders her two children by drowning them (a horrifying death) and is eligible for parole?😲 What a nutcase country in which we live.
She’s not going to get out.
She shouldn't have gotten the hope of parole in the first place. It's wrong that victims have to keep showing up, getting retraumatized over and over every few years for the rest of their lives. How do they ever really move on? How is this considered to be fair? I don't get it!
@@a.nhonig3311 she doesn’t get a parole hearing every few years, she got it this year because it’s been 30 years
I remember this well, when the police announced they'd arrested her there was an audible gasp from the reporters. Never let her out.
She is a prime example of the saying " when someone shows you who they really are, believe them"
What she did was so incredibly cruel and evil that she should never ever let her out. She seduced a guard and others so she has NOT behaved herself in prison either- NO WAY!!!!
“Seduced a guard.”
Bruh, an inmate cannot consent to relations with a corrections officer.
As a matter of law, in this scenario the officer is the perpetrator and the inmate is the victim.
