In this episode, we cover the murderer Susan Smith and briefly relate her crimes to those of Diane Downs, because let me tell you folks, the similarities are wild. Susan Smith murdered her two young sons, eventually confessed to it but not before accusing an African-American man of carjacking her and fleeing.
Diane Downs attempted to kill her three children just 10 years before Susan Smith. She only killed one, although she shot all three of them and herself, drove them to the hospital and claimed a random person had done it in a failed carjacking.
Why you may ask? Well the story the prosecutors used in both cases to send the women to prison, was that of women who were so obsessed with being with a certain man who really didn't want children, that they went to the extremes to cut their children out of the equation in order to be with this man.
