In this episode of Unlawful Acts, Susan Davis and Jocelyn Frankhuizen examine the chilling murder of New York socialite Irene Silverman, a case involving deception, greed, stolen identities, and an alleged mother-son murder plot.

What began as a room rental arrangement turned into one of Manhattan’s most disturbing true crime cases when Silverman vanished without a trace. Investigators soon uncovered forged documents, financial motives, and a scheme prosecutors said ended in murder.

Who were the masterminds behind the plot — and how did they nearly get away with it?

Through expert analysis and case breakdown, we explore the evidence, the psychology, and the unanswered questions surrounding a case that shocked New York.
