Early Life

On October 25, 1994, Susan Smith reported that her vehicle had been carjacked by a black man while her two sons were still inside. For nine days, she made emotional appeals on national television for their safe return. However, after an extensive search and investigation, she confessed on November 3, 1994, that she had let her car roll into John D. Long Lake, drowning her sons.

Smith’s motivation appeared to be a desire to pursue a relationship with a wealthy local man, Tom Findlay, who had recently ended their relationship and expressed that he did not want children. She claimed that there was no premeditated motive for the murders and stated she was not in a right state of mind. From the beginning, detectives were skeptical of her story. By the second day of the investigation, they suspected she knew where her sons were and feared they were dead.
