In this episode of Crime with a K, we look into the heartbreaking and complex case of Susan Smith, a woman whose desperate lies led to one of the most devastating crimes in American history. On a fateful night in 1994, Susan Smith claimed that her car was carjacked by a black man, with her two young sons, Michael and Alex, trapped inside. The carjacker drove off with the boys after stealing the car at a red light. The story captured the nation’s attention, a mother left helpless and hopeless, but as the investigation unfolded, a dark and twisted truth began to emerge.
