In this episode, we dive into one of the most heartbreaking and infamous criminal cases the case of Susan Smith. In 1994, the small town of Union became the center of national attention after Susan claimed that a Black man had carjacked her vehicle with her two young sons still inside.

For nine days, the country watched and hoped as law enforcement searched for 3-year-old Michael and 14-month-old Alex. But the truth that eventually emerged stunned the world: Susan herself had rolled her car into a lake with her children strapped inside.
