A daughter's 911 call. A mother stabbed 70 times in her bed. And a story so full of lies that detectives spent months going down a rabbit hole.

On July 16, 2012, 16-year-old Keri Murphy called police screaming that someone had broken into her family's Humble, Texas home [citation:5]. Inside, officers found 48-year-old Mary Ann Murphy dead in her bed — stabbed more than 70 times while she slept [citation:3]. Keri pointed police toward a male classmate who even confessed. But nothing added up.

The truth was far darker. Keri was in a secret relationship with 20-year-old Rebecca Keller. Mary Ann had tried to stop it because of the age gap [citation:2]. So the two plotted murder. Keller bought the knife. Keller stabbed Mary Ann while Keri stayed in her room — or so she claimed. Recorded jail calls revealed the truth: Keller admitted she had done the killing, but both were guilty [citation:8]. Keri was sentenced to 30 years. Keller got 60 [citation:4].

Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and press play — because the daughter who called 911 was the one who planned it all.

She cried on national television. She begged for her children's safe return. And for nine days, America believed her.

In October 1994, Susan Smith told police a Black man had carjacked her Mazda with her two sons inside. Three-year-old Michael and 14-month-old Alexander were gone, she sobbed. The nation searched. The nation prayed. But the truth was far darker than any carjacking [citation:1]. 

Smith had rolled her car into John D. Long Lake with her boys strapped into their car seats. A police re-creation showed the car floated for six agonizing minutes before sinking — more than enough time to save them [citation:1]. Her motive? A wealthy lover named Tom Findlay had ended their affair because he did not want children. Prosecutors argued Smith saw her sons as obstacles to a new life [citation:4].

The jury convicted her in just two and a half hours. They spared her the death penalty so she would spend decades reflecting on her crimes. But former prosecutor Tommy Pope says, "Susan has always focused on Susan" [citation:6]. In November 2024, after 30 years behind bars, Smith was denied parole. Her ex-husband David told the board: "Thirty years is just not enough. That's only 15 years per child" [citation:3].
