I remember this one! I was watching the news with her asking for her kids return and thinking something wasn’t right…then I heard the news that she was arrested and the hairs on my arms stood up on end! Literally hair-raising for me…
@@suebrown7358 This one was shocking and heartbreaking. When this came on the news, I saw the bit where she and her estranged husband, the father of their little boys, were making an appeal to the public. They were outdoors, if I remember correctly. Her eyes were closed and she seemed to be fake crying. I turned to my husband and said, "She's lying! She's done something to those boys!" But I couldn't have imagined the way it would end, what she had done to her own children. I would say it broke the hearts of everyone who heard about it.💔
@TheBehaviorPanel 🙏Please Please Please have a look at (Anna Sorokin) I'd love to know what your take on her is!! I wonder if our 4 man team TBP will see something in her that apparently New Yorks elite missed... @ScottRouse i can't help thinking her patter would be right up your street, to dissect a little 😎😁.
Since she never says their names: They were 3-yr-old Michael Daniel Smith, and 14-month-old Alexander Tyler Smith. Susan will be eligible for parole in 2024. I don't believe she should ever re-enter society.
Oh, and at the time of her first parole hearing, she'll be 52 years old. In the past several years, she is said to be behaving... in anticipation of her parole opportunity.... but in previous years, she has been very hard to control. She has abused drugs in prison, carried on sexually with a prison guard, and self-harmed. She very suddenly quit all that when it was mentioned to her that she probably wouldn't look too good to the parole board.
@@lego65100 she was diagnosed with depression and dpd tbf which somewhat explains those behaviours, id say the sex is more of an indictment on the guards and not her. probably shouldnt re enter society but its hard not to feel sorry for someone molested for years (to the point of developing stockholm syndrome iirc)
She never has tears. Her eyeliner was on point. She started off good then I just didn’t believe her. David has guilt and you can tell he needs therapy…this is very traumatic event in his life.
I prefer the new format, with written introductions underneath each member of the panel, while you guys immediately dive into the content. It's more effective too.
He looks totally shell-shocked, the way he should look, the way you'd think any parent whose kids' are missing, would look, but Susan looks like she's been laying on the beach sipping cocktails for a month in comparison.
@@rsmith8434 Same. I feel like, especially if he knew she was cheating, he probably knew. I just wonder how he kept himself from killing her once it all came out. I guess some of us just have better self-control than selfish narcissists like Susan have. Can you imagine the feelings he must have felt though? The feelings absolute devastation, rage and betrayal. What it must have done to him. I just want to acknowledge and recognize what a strong person it takes to endure what that man went through as a father, a husband and a human being. Such a contrast from the weakness and selfishness and cowardice susan exhibited. What she did to Michael and Alex, those precious little boys, her own babies, was beyond monstrous. To watch them through the car window as the car sunk beneath the water, seeing their little faces terrified, probably screaming, crying, begging, pleading and trying to get out, and then for her to turn and just walk away as if they were less than garbage, as if their existence, their lives, meant nothing. Dear God, it's devastating!
I remember when this happened. My mom and I were in the kitchen chatting and drinking coffee. My mom looked at the television and said, “that woman did something to her children” Later on when it was announced that she did harm her children. That’s when I became aware of being able to tell someone is lying just by looking and listening. This case made me be interested in body language and true crime.
Susan Smith stood on the shore as the car drifted out on the river. She felt panic as the car floated, was not sinking, then her oldest son woke up. He began to call for his mother and then started to cry. This woke up the younger boy and he began to cry. She was now in total panic. The car was floating and the boys were making lots of noise. Then the drivers side of the car began to sink in the front. Her children are calling for her, obviously distressed. And she felt relief as the car began to sink. She stood and waited until the boys could no longer be heard before she left. And all she felt was release. Parole doesn't seem possible to me. I'll be waiting to see what transpires. I know her ex-husband has moved on to a new life, new wife, new kids. But he will never be released by what happened to his sons. Parole cannot be an option. Not then. Not ever.
I've been looking forward to this. I will never forget when this happened because my two boys were almost exactly the same age at the time as hers and I found myself emotionally connected in a way that wasn't healthy for me. I believed her UNTIL the very moment she wiped her hair out of face! Instead of tears that should have been there but weren't. How was she even talking when I could barely breath? When Chase you said you had a redflag because of her hair grooming I almost spit out my coffee. I pointed that out to everyone who would listen to me. Thank you all for your time on this one. Its so important the work and the gifts you all share to help us get to the truth. Your friend Kristine
I had young kids when this happened and knew the first time she did an interview that she was guilty because of one simple thing. She’d done her hair and makeup. You don’t have much time to do that at all with little ones that age to begin with. When 2 are gone, you wouldn’t eat, sleep or even think of how you looked. Makeup, hairspray and big bow around your ponytail - not a chance!
Yip 😏, 2 day old, top knot 100% I remember a friend come to me with a mangled mess on the back of her head, we untangle it 😖 for hours, she was emarrased but knew being a mother of two id understand exactly how she let it get that bad. 1st her son had been unwell ....then was in hospital ...then she was nursing all his needs at home, shed spent a week scrapping it back to wash her face and spraticly adding kirbygrips to keep it of her face! MY POINT it took her over a week to remember she even had hair, and of course none of us even noticed how she looked till way after the fact once the baby was back to himself.
Those kids suffered and suffered and suffered and suffered! They were at an angle such as to be staring down into the gathering water. They stared at their death for like 45 minutes before the water actually started covering their faces. This person is one of the evilest people I think I've ever seen in my life.
So fake. I remember this case and looking for these two little babies. The first time she was talking I knew right away she was totally 1000% guilty of their deaths I knew they were dead. Another Diane downs. Another one I knew she had hurt and killed one child. That look on their faces is priceless.cruel so called moms… I think Diane was also wanting to be with another man and the kids were in her way. Why the heck don’t they think I don’t want these kids so I am giving them to the dad. There now I can do what I want now. But they don’t
I remember this case and the first time I saw her on TV, I said she did it, she’s killed her kids. Man did I take heat from everyone. My family said, a mother wouldn’t do this to her kids and that I didn’t know, because I didn’t have kids. When it came out she was guilty I knew to never go against my intuition and I haven’t been off EVER.
I feel you. This case was local for me and everyone around upstate SC rallied around the whole “small town mom that just wants her kids back” story just because people didn’t want to think this could happen in their back yards. I knew something wasn’t right about this from the rip. I wanted to give her the benefit of a doubt and believe boys were still alive but even before she went on all the morning news shows, I knew she killed her sons and did I take heat from everyone I knew because of it.
Right. I remember this and back then, this type of thing was unprecedented. Susan Smith was the Columbine of killer moms. Everything about her was off, but what that meant was just unimaginable so people defended her. Everyone claims now that they were clockin her from the start, but in reality there were alot of people who believed her. Needless to say, me being black, all it took was that ridiculous police sketch and everybody I knew was like "🤨 oh here we go..."
Some of us, are given an intuitive sense; a gene; a chemical flowing in our blood that others don’t. It’s wise to trust this part of yourself, it has carried you far, and will continue to do so. Trust it.
I remember when this happened and how shocking it was. At that point I was pregnant with my first child. I had two little boys close together just as she had. My first born died in 2016, and Susan Smith is even more shocking to me now. Being a mother who has lost a son, it really jumped out at me when she prematurely called it a "tragedy.". I know first hand how a mother hangs onto hope as long as she possibly can.
I remember this terrible crime and as soon as it was on the news, my husband looked at me and said, “she did something to her kids, you would never let someone take our kids”. “No mother would let that happen”. Horrible, horrible act. 💔💔💔💔💔
I was 22 when this happened. I had no kids, didn't especially enjoy being around kids, and at that point would've been perfectly happy never having kids. I had absolutely no concept of how it felt to be a parent. But from the first moment I saw her and heard her, I kept thinking to myself "that's not how a mother would react".
I’m glad you mentioned the line in the second video where she said, “you’ve got to take care of each other”. That really struck me - who tells a baby and a toddler to take care of each other? They’re too young to even be able to take care of THEMSELVES, let alone others. That statement really stood out to me. I remember when this case was in the news - I was a kid myself, then, and couldn’t imagine a mom doing that to her children. 😢
I live in SC. Michael went to day care with the daughter of my friend of 38 years. Michael came to the birthday party of my friend's child in Union SC. I was there. Susan dropped Michael off and when returned she did not interact with any children or adults. Michael was having a great time. When this tragedy hit the town and the news it was incomprehensible but so many people noticed her lack of grief. We couldn't tell my friend's little girl until she was old enough to understand because she loved Michael so much. Also a psychologist friend was the professional asked to be a part of the prosecution team. He said her guilt was so immediately noticed. I hope she doesn't get to leave what should be her forever house.
I know someone who works in the prison where she is currently housed. They said she is a piece of work even to this day. She is always stirring up crap with other inmates and officers. I wish I could share more but I don't want to put my friend's job in jeopardy. Bottom line is she is thriving in prison and would be a huge risk to society.
I've read recently that she's had affairs in prison with at least one guard, and various women over the years. She's working the Inmate Dating scene, with lots of men who write to her, put money on her commissary account, and plan for the day she's released. In one letter to just one of her male fans she agreed with him that she'd be a great stepmother! It's obscene, and she hasn't changed her ways at all. I'll be shocked if she gets out anytime soon.
I remember when this happened it broke my heart then and still does all these years later. I don’t think she should be out of prison when u think of the actual horror of this crime. A mother, buckled her young beautiful boys in car seats and drowned them. The fear and pain those two children went through is too great for this woman to be free ever again.
I remember this so specifically. I knew she was lying right away. I hadn’t had my own children yet, but I would have cried for the children I baby-sat, let alone my own. This was huge at the time, and everyone knew she was guilty. Broke every woman’s heart.
I lost my cat's medicine briefly yesterday . I couldn't believe I had lost it, and went over every room fairly swiftly . There was fear for my cat's big discomfort, and unnerving shame and guilt at myself, at the possibility having to admit to my vet I needed a refill already due to my stupidity, and also an odd fear that a family member would stop in and witness my bad furry parenting . I was almost shaking looking for this cat medicine, I was worried, sad, mad at myself, ashamed, shaky, a little paranoid..and then I found it under a blanket on the couch . Just as a point of comparison, seeing Susan Smith not losing her marbles over her abducted children was a real eye opener . But I see what Chase said about dissociative people who have had rough childhoods regarding that she doesn't seem to be all over the place .
i just love how you guys dont care who goes first. there is absolutely no ego. a team approach. respectful. i wish the world was just like you guys. like, everyone!!!
Just my two cents.... Steve Harvey did a bit about her once. The one thing that stands out to me is when he said that she didn't have any cuts, scratches or bruises, and that "you can't take a real mother's kids and they wouldn't be any evidence" of a fight. The term "mama bear" exists for a reason. Even mothers of a different species will fight for the safety of her children.
“Very sick and emotionally unstable person…to take two beautiful children from their parents” Can’t fathom she could say this in light of what she did to her own sons!
I vividly remember this when it happened. I remember from the very beginning thinking she was guilty because the “perpetrator “ would have to leave my dead body on the side of the road to take my children. And then….no tears when she was “crying “! Ugh! Any mother saw straight through that!
Thank you! That's exactly it! She had to let him take the kids because he had a gun? Any normal mother would either jump in front of the gun, wrestle it out of his hand, etc. I'd be injured, bleeding and no longer to stand if the police found someone had taken my children.
I lived in Spartanburg when this happened. My mother knew Susan did it without ever seeing speak. She said there was no way a mother got out of her car without her children and let them drive away. She said the fact that she is alive and unharmed means she was involved.
Yes i do remember her blaming a black man and I also remember the composite sketch. I also remember that she had the sympathy of most of the country at the time. I also remember David Smith apologized to the black community afterward which showed a lot of class.
The reason she said it's a tragedy is because she knows the outcome. A person who doesn't know where their children are, you wouldn't call it a tragedy because you're hoping for a happy ending.
Think she said tragedy because it’s a tragedy for her that she’s still being grilled and won’t get away with it. She looks and sounds like she feels hopeless because rather than the freedom she was after she has imprisoned herself to relentless attention and focus on the kids and is getting tired of the act.
Get you bingo cards ready for for Scott saying “psychopath”, Greg saying “sacred space”, Mark saying something randomly British, and Chase staying on mute. Can’t wait.
I like it when we have a preview of what is coming. I know nothing about this person, but can now do some research before hand and have some idea of what went on. Thanks.
Oh I'm excited about this one..I remember murmurs from the adults around me about this case. I dont know much but you're right about the previews, I just started a documentary on her 🤣💯
Nancy, the scrapwhisperer's wife here. I see a different scenario between Susan Smith and her husband. When they are interviewed together I do not believe he is holding her hand. I believe that she is holding his hand. His hand is in her lap because SHE wants it there or put it there. She needs him to believe her. They are an estranged couple knowing things about each other that the public doesn't know. I think he desperately wants to leave her side but is cooperating for the sake of his children. His children are gone but no one asks him how he feels or how he is doing. All the attention is on his wife. When they first were interviewed as a couple, I could not take my eyes off him. His glare and stillness commanded so much attention. As he sat there stiffly, I senced sorrow but mostly intense anger. I felt he knew things and was holding them in. His body is not leaning into her but is faced straight ahead towards the camera or interviewer. He barely even responds to anything she says. There is no comforting. He is angry and I think he is angry with Susan.
They were seperated when this happened and he was by her side because he wanted to find his kids. Her family was just awful to him during all of this time.
I saw this when it happened. At the time, I felt she was holding back a smile, even hiding a laugh behind a fake cry. Seeing it all these years later, I completely feel the same way.
I remember this because they showed how long the babies were in the car before it filled up with water and they drowned. It was several minutes. It was traumatizing to see that video reenactment. Those poor, poor babies. I never understood why she didn't just give them to their Dad if her new boyfriend didn't like kids.
The "boyfriend" didn't want her either. She was just a side piece to him. He was wealthy "high society" and she was poor and from the wrong side of the tracks. He explained how they'd never work out and wished her to move on in the same letter where he said he did not want the children. So he had dumped her before she killed her kids, hence she knew already there was no future with him.
I lived in SC when this happened and I remember thinking that she seemed like she was faking and not even NEAR as lost, frantic and heartbroken as I would have felt had my children been kidnapped. I would have been out for blood! She was just way too calm. Her poor husband was devastated and it showed. He cried real tears. It was so horrible.
I have never physically hated someone as much as her and Casey Anthony. I literally get sick at my stomach listening to their lies. Blaming their actions on being molested as a child is insulting. I'm sure I'm gonna make someone mad by saying this but I don't care if you was molested it does not give you the right to kill your children. Their father would have happily taken care of them. One of the saddest things I have heard is that the boys were holding hands when they were found.
I completely agree. There are many who suffer horrific abuse that would never hurt a child and I hate when they use that as a justification. Especially women like her or Anthony that lie about abuse to use as an excuse.
I remember watching this story in the news with a friend who called it right off the bat. She said you don’t have your children missing and go on national tv with your hair and makeup looking perfect.
Guys, she didn't mean "normality", she meant to say "formality". She was thinking "act normal" while trying to talk and combined the 2 terms. I remember this case and the first interview with her I was screaming at my TV "she did it!!" (I wasn't even on the panel then) : )
I was looking at the husband while she was talking. He looked like he was looking into hell and had been for a while. I actually saw him comeback with a kind of jerk from wherever he was. He looks like he was off wondering if she killed them.
Men I can tell you exactly what happened to me when I lost my little 4 year old son at the mall for 25-30 minutes. I was 8 months pregnant with my 3rd and my two year old daughter was in the stroller. My son was complaining because I made him hold on to the stroller so I told him he could let go for a minute as we passed the stairs. He was going to walk to the right of the stairs and I would walk to the left and we would meet right after we passed the stairs but he wasn't there I looked all over than I went to the second floor and looked in the book store that we always went to, he wasn't there... I went back down stairs and he wasn't there I walked in a store and told the cashier I lost my son... I entered hell...the next thing I remember was sitting on a bench in the mall surrounded by police and I looked up to the right because I heard a familiar voice and there was my husband who worked 20away from the mall. I don't remember talking to the police or anything I was in a place way beyond tears. As I looked up at my husband to the right of him I noticed something moving going up and down I looked and it was my son skipping with a big smile on his face when he saw his father he said hi daddy. I don't remember driving home or anything it was the most horrible half hour of my life.
My daughter was a toddler when this happened. If someone with a gun tried to take her, it would have been on. A mother will fight to the death to protect her babies.
I was around 12 or 13 when this happened and man when we found out the truth the nation was insanely angry. Even when I went to school the next week everyone including teachers and students were talking about it they were upset as hell.
My children were born the same month and years as Michael and Alex. I was 21 with two children,in an unhappy relationship,in love with another man (or so i thought). He seemed to love me,though dragged his feet in committing to the "ready made family". I never could fathom disappearing my children for a man,which is what SS wanted (Tom Findlay). Her children shouldve been her very first priority,precious and valued...they never were.
I remember when this happened. My housemates and I were watching this, and we all knew straightaway that Susan was lying. We could tell intuitively and pick out behavioral cues, but to listen to the analysis is fascinating. Those poor babies! Hard to believe she is eligible for parole in 24.
That's great that Scott mentioned that he'd thought for a second that the interviewer was going to ask her if she knew what "inconsistencies" meant... it's EXACTLY what I was thinking. LOL
Same thing in the video starting around 53:00. Every time the husband blinks, which happens a bunch this time, it’s right after she says something that sounds like BS. Consistently.
I remember this case too. Blew me away that any mother would kill her kids because her boyfriend didn’t want kids. I raised three kids and would still die to protect them. My grandkids too. Those precious babies who were loved by the father. Why not let him raise them and walk away?
I think there’s something in the dad’s eyes; as if he’s putting it together in the midst of this interview. I remember watching the news when this happened and even my naive, 20 year old self seemed to be creeped out by her flat, blasé attitude during the whole search and rescue part. When I had kids, I lost my youngest in the Winn Dixie parking lot for 20 seconds and damn near lost my sh!t!! Thanks, gentlemen, for such interesting and educational videos.
I hear ya. Lost my 4 year old in Wal mart once for about that same length of time (she liked to play hide & seek in the clothes racks). I nearly had a heart attack!
Mark Bowden-you reminded me of a real courtroom experience I witnessed years ago from the gallery. A defendant had been found guilty of crimes and was about to be sentenced by the trial judge. The judge asked, “Do you have anything to say before being sentenced?” The defendant stood up and said, with passion, “As God is my witness, I am not guilty of these crimes!” The judge paused and looked toward the door to the courtroom. Because he looked at the door, everyone else in the courtroom looked at the door too. Nothing happened as we all waited for the judge to say something. After what felt like a long time, the judge finally said, “Well, unfortunately for you, it doesn’t look like God is showing up today to testify for you, so I am going to sentence you to the following term in prison,” and he went on to give the defendant the details of the sentence. So, Mark, there’s more proof that it really is difficult to get a god or a demi-god to show up, on demand.
During the sentencing of Mark Sievers for the murder of his wife, Mark started talking about how he is a Christian and has faith that God knows his heart, etc. and the judge’s response was perfect: “Sir, my job is not to judge you based on your faith, my job is to judge you based on your actions.” Then proceeded to sentence him to death. Awesome response!
Your rapport an chemistry is grand. And I love that even though you are aware of this chemistry you do not overly exploit it. Your Blooper Reel should be entitled The Misbehavior Panel.
14:39 "Because you guys got to be strong, because you are wi... w..." I believe she was going to say "because you are with God/Jesus", but then her mind panicked and told her not to say that and in fact to say the opposite. So next she quickly changes topic and says that she knows that they are okay and alive.
My husband lost our 4 year old granddaughter in Walmart and I about lost it. But I went to an employee with her picture on my phone and said my husband lost my granddaughter, gave her name what she was wearing. I was totally panicking but gave them all the information so they could lock down the store and help find her. They found her a few minutes later but I would have waited to die if anything had happened to her. She's my heart! It took me awhile to calm down from that.
These are so incredibly informing and fascinating to watch. I like how each member of the panel, brings their own uniqueness in describing the body language of the person they’re discussing.
1994 was before I had children. I didn't belive her then. She sounded like she was laughing, not crying. Watching this now after having my own children? I can't even. 💔
The very first thing I noticed about Susan Smith and felt it was incredibly obvious in the first two videos is that she's smiling. In the second she's actually trying to hold back a laugh. When I saw the interviews with the guy in Colorado who murdered his pregnant wife and put his two little girls in oil tanks I saw that same smirk. That same sinister smile and the first thing I thought was he reminds me of Susan Smith.
You're exactly right. A normal mother would take a bullet for her children. She would take any form of violence against her or her children to save them. Literally laying down her life for her children. This thing is subhuman and if she was ever human she left her Humanity behind decades ago. There are no words...
I think it would be really interesting to see a clip of someone responding to her/his kids disappearance who is responsible for killing them followed by a video of someone whose kids are missing and they're innocent to compare the things you're talking about it. So fascinating!
I was a young mother with two daughters who were very close to the same age as the poor boys. I was so emotionally invested when I watched this on the news. I followed it without fail because I just couldn’t imagine if I lost my two children. I cried when she wasn’t crying and what’s worse, I believed her at first. But I always felt something was off with her. I was so young and as silly as it sounds, I never thought a mother could be so heartless & ruthless. And when the truth came out, I was in complete shock. I could not believe she stood there in front of so many cameras and outright lied to the world- not to mention how she killed those poor beautiful little boys. My God, how do you do that?! I honestly can’t express the roller coaster of emotions I went through. My daughters are now 27 & 30. When I see something about this case, it takes me back to those days. I believe I’ll be infuriated with that woman forever. Such a devastating story in every single way. It will never leave me.
Susan’s case reminds me of Jennifer Soto, mom of Madeline Soto, in her interviews recently. Jennifer even holds and consoles her boyfriend (perp) at the end of the interview. Sickening 🤢 Can’t wait to see you guys hit that interview and tear it down for all of us. I’ve watched it so many times now and I’m just so flabbergasted she’s not in custody YET. So sickening and heartbreaking 💔 Just waiting on her arrest any time now🤞
Gentlemen thank you for what you do. I have always been insecure and easily duped. You have helped me protect myself better. For me this is a huge gift. So thank you your link is important in a lot of different ways.
Of course because she was excited that Tom Findlay would actually have her after her children were gone. He wouldn't have been with her if she didn't have children because she was sleeping with Tom's father and her own step father
I’m so glad that the federal agent said in an interview that as soon as he heard a black man kidnapped her kids he knew she was lying… think about it most kidnappings are for profit and she was basically poor, second of all when you kidnap kids you have to feed them and keep them calm (which I’m sure they’ll be scared and crying the whole time) so if it’s not for money is it worth it?? And a black man riding around with two white children would stick out especially in South Carolina in the earthy 90s she didn’t know that the FBI has this thing called “profiling” and black people really don’t kidnap kids for ransom
imagine murdering your children in the first degree and fake crying, blaming a black man for the crime, and telling her "babies to take care of each other"? what a pos
The lead Detective was in a documentary and described waiting Susan out for her confession. He knew she was guilty but had to behave as if for along time. That must have been awful but satisfying for him.
I know NOTHING about body language but remember this case very well. On watching her first public statement I turned to my husband and said, "did you SEE that? She did it. I've never seen a more fake cry or uncaring mother." Even a blind man could have seen it.
Just watched this again and it reminded me at the time that this happened, she always had her hair freshly done with big bows . No mother would worry about her hair in a tragedy.

I can't wait. I've been requesting this one for a while.
THANK YOU for doing it!
I remember this one! I was watching the news with her asking for her kids return and thinking something wasn’t right…then I heard the news that she was arrested and the hairs on my arms stood up on end! Literally hair-raising for me…

This one was shocking and heartbreaking.
When this came on the news, I saw the bit where she and her estranged husband, the father of their little boys, were making an appeal to the public. They were outdoors, if I remember correctly.
Her eyes were closed and she seemed to be fake crying.
I turned to my husband and said, "She's lying! She's done something to those boys!"
But I couldn't have imagined the way it would end, what she had done to her own children. I would say it broke the hearts of everyone who heard about it.💔
@TheBehaviorPanel 🙏Please Please Please have a look at (Anna Sorokin) I'd love to know what your take on her is!! I wonder if our 4 man team TBP will see something in her that apparently New Yorks elite missed... @ScottRouse i can't help thinking her patter would be right up your street, to dissect a little 😎😁.
Ok. Would you consider reviewing videos of Leah Remini? That would be a million-view episode! Guaranteed.
Since she never says their names: They were 3-yr-old Michael Daniel Smith, and 14-month-old Alexander Tyler Smith. Susan will be eligible for parole in 2024. I don't believe she should ever re-enter society.
How the heck is that possible? She killed 2 children. People dealing drugs get more time than Susan.
Yes, and howcan a 14 month old and Three year old ' big Brother" care for one Amother"?? She is so so heartless.
Oh, and at the time of her first parole hearing, she'll be 52 years old. In the past several years, she is said to be behaving... in anticipation of her parole opportunity.... but in previous years, she has been very hard to control. She has abused drugs in prison, carried on sexually with a prison guard, and self-harmed. She very suddenly quit all that when it was mentioned to her that she probably wouldn't look too good to the parole board.
@@lego65100 she was diagnosed with depression and dpd tbf which somewhat explains those behaviours, id say the sex is more of an indictment on the guards and not her. probably shouldnt re enter society but its hard not to feel sorry for someone molested for years (to the point of developing stockholm syndrome iirc)
I don't understand how murderers aren't in for life. What we do have is a God and His judgment.
I’m so happy she got denied parole yesterday 👏
RiP little angels 😇😇🙏🕊
Omg she's so cringe
She did a ton of these same things today trying to get parole! You guys are the best, thank you for these videos!
She never has tears. Her eyeliner was on point. She started off good then I just didn’t believe her. David has guilt and you can tell he needs therapy…this is very traumatic event in his life.
Parole - DENIED

RIP MICHAEL AND ALEXANDER ❤
Did you see that heartbreaking comments from the dad at the parole hearing 😢
@CrazyCatAER
Yes, my heart goes out to him. I can't imagine and I hope I never have to feel such a loss.
I prefer the new format, with written introductions underneath each member of the panel, while you guys immediately dive into the content. It's more effective too.
Yes a million times better!!! The new format....
Agreed ✌️
Yes! I agree!
Indeed!!! 👍
The husband is just devastated, incapacitated. He is a study in grief.
Do you think he thinks she did it? I mean at the time of the video.
He looks totally shell-shocked, the way he should look, the way you'd think any parent whose kids' are missing, would look, but Susan looks like she's been laying on the beach sipping cocktails for a month in comparison.
@@rsmith8434 Same. I feel like, especially if he knew she was cheating, he probably knew. I just wonder how he kept himself from killing her once it all came out. I guess some of us just have better self-control than selfish narcissists like Susan have. Can you imagine the feelings he must have felt though? The feelings absolute devastation, rage and betrayal. What it must have done to him. I just want to acknowledge and recognize what a strong person it takes to endure what that man went through as a father, a husband and a human being. Such a contrast from the weakness and selfishness and cowardice susan exhibited. What she did to Michael and Alex, those precious little boys, her own babies, was beyond monstrous. To watch them through the car window as the car sunk beneath the water, seeing their little faces terrified, probably screaming, crying, begging, pleading and trying to get out, and then for her to turn and just walk away as if they were less than garbage, as if their existence, their lives, meant nothing. Dear God, it's devastating!
I remember when this happened. My mom and I were in the kitchen chatting and drinking coffee. My mom looked at the television and said, “that woman did something to her children” Later on when it was announced that she did harm her children. That’s when I became aware of being able to tell someone is lying just by looking and listening. This case made me be interested in body language and true crime.
Susan Smith stood on the shore as the car drifted out on the river. She felt panic as the car floated, was not sinking, then her oldest son woke up. He began to call for his mother and then started to cry. This woke up the younger boy and he began to cry. She was now in total panic. The car was floating and the boys were making lots of noise. Then the drivers side of the car began to sink in the front. Her children are calling for her, obviously distressed. And she felt relief as the car began to sink. She stood and waited until the boys could no longer be heard before she left. And all she felt was release. Parole doesn't seem possible to me. I'll be waiting to see what transpires. I know her ex-husband has moved on to a new life, new wife, new kids. But he will never be released by what happened to his sons. Parole cannot be an option. Not then. Not ever.
I’m hoping he’s there to make sure she never gets out.
did she tell you all that?
@@alicjakempisty2729yes, that was part of her confession
I've been looking forward to this. I will never forget when this happened because my two boys were almost exactly the same age at the time as hers and I found myself emotionally connected in a way that wasn't healthy for me. I believed her UNTIL the very moment she wiped her hair out of face! Instead of tears that should have been there but weren't. How was she even talking when I could barely breath? When Chase you said you had a redflag because of her hair grooming I almost spit out my coffee. I pointed that out to everyone who would listen to me. Thank you all for your time on this one. Its so important the work and the gifts you all share to help us get to the truth.
Your friend Kristine
I had young kids when this happened and knew the first time she did an interview that she was guilty because of one simple thing. She’d done her hair and makeup. You don’t have much time to do that at all with little ones that age to begin with. When 2 are gone, you wouldn’t eat, sleep or even think of how you looked. Makeup, hairspray and big bow around your ponytail - not a chance!
My hair would be a greasy mess I'm sure
Yip 😏, 2 day old, top knot 100%
I remember a friend come to me with a mangled mess on the back of her head, we untangle it 😖 for hours, she was emarrased but knew being a mother of two id understand exactly how she let it get that bad. 1st her son had been unwell ....then was in hospital ...then she was nursing all his needs at home, shed spent a week scrapping it back to wash her face and spraticly adding kirbygrips to keep it of her face! MY POINT it took her over a week to remember she even had hair, and of course none of us even noticed how she looked till way after the fact once the baby was back to himself.
Round of applause for Chase for not speaking into a muted microphone even once this episode. Excellent work, Mr Hughes
😂
Those kids suffered and suffered and suffered and suffered! They were at an angle such as to be staring down into the gathering water. They stared at their death for like 45 minutes before the water actually started covering their faces. This person is one of the evilest people I think I've ever seen in my life.
Her fake-crying sounds so much like laughing 😩.
It looked like it too. Like a performance
No tears….just whining
So fake. I remember this case and looking for these two little babies. The first time she was talking I knew right away she was totally 1000% guilty of their deaths I knew they were dead. Another Diane downs. Another one I knew she had hurt and killed one child. That look on their faces is priceless.cruel so called moms… I think Diane was also wanting to be with another man and the kids were in her way. Why the heck don’t they think I don’t want these kids so I am giving them to the dad. There now I can do what I want now. But they don’t
I've never in my life seen a group of people who get along so beautifully as these 4. For that alone, these videos are totally worth watching.
I remember this case and the first time I saw her on TV, I said she did it, she’s killed her kids. Man did I take heat from everyone. My family said, a mother wouldn’t do this to her kids and that I didn’t know, because I didn’t have kids. When it came out she was guilty I knew to never go against my intuition and I haven’t been off EVER.
EVERYONE knew she was guilty.
I feel you. This case was local for me and everyone around upstate SC rallied around the whole “small town mom that just wants her kids back” story just because people didn’t want to think this could happen in their back yards. I knew something wasn’t right about this from the rip. I wanted to give her the benefit of a doubt and believe boys were still alive but even before she went on all the morning news shows, I knew she killed her sons and did I take heat from everyone I knew because of it.
Right. I remember this and back then, this type of thing was unprecedented. Susan Smith was the Columbine of killer moms. Everything about her was off, but what that meant was just unimaginable so people defended her. Everyone claims now that they were clockin her from the start, but in reality there were alot of people who believed her. Needless to say, me being black, all it took was that ridiculous police sketch and everybody I knew was like "🤨 oh here we go..."
Some of us, are given an intuitive sense; a gene; a chemical flowing in our blood that others don’t. It’s wise to trust this part of yourself, it has carried you far, and will continue to do so. Trust it.
Me too. Nothing about her was believable.
She wasn’t crying- she was laughing. Like a kid who can’t act to save their life.
I remember when this happened and how shocking it was. At that point I was pregnant with my first child. I had two little boys close together just as she had. My first born died in 2016, and Susan Smith is even more shocking to me now. Being a mother who has lost a son, it really jumped out at me when she prematurely called it a "tragedy.". I know first hand how a mother hangs onto hope as long as she possibly can.
I’m sorry for your lose.
My goodness, my deepest condolences to you.
I remember this terrible crime and as soon as it was on the news, my husband looked at me and said, “she did something to her kids, you would never let someone take our kids”. “No mother would let that happen”. Horrible, horrible act. 💔💔💔💔💔
I was 22 when this happened. I had no kids, didn't especially enjoy being around kids, and at that point would've been perfectly happy never having kids. I had absolutely no concept of how it felt to be a parent. But from the first moment I saw her and heard her, I kept thinking to myself "that's not how a mother would react".
I’m glad you mentioned the line in the second video where she said, “you’ve got to take care of each other”. That really struck me - who tells a baby and a toddler to take care of each other? They’re too young to even be able to take care of THEMSELVES, let alone others. That statement really stood out to me. I remember when this case was in the news - I was a kid myself, then, and couldn’t imagine a mom doing that to her children. 😢
I live in SC. Michael went to day care with the daughter of my friend of 38 years. Michael came to the birthday party of my friend's child in Union SC. I was there. Susan dropped Michael off and when returned she did not interact with any children or adults. Michael was having a great time. When this tragedy hit the town and the news it was incomprehensible but so many people noticed her lack of grief. We couldn't tell my friend's little girl until she was old enough to understand because she loved Michael so much. Also a psychologist friend was the professional asked to be a part of the prosecution team. He said her guilt was so immediately noticed. I hope she doesn't get to leave what should be her forever house.
I know someone who works in the prison where she is currently housed. They said she is a piece of work even to this day. She is always stirring up crap with other inmates and officers. I wish I could share more but I don't want to put my friend's job in jeopardy. Bottom line is she is thriving in prison and would be a huge risk to society.
Doesn’t surprise me at all, and reminded me of the Blake Lively character from the movie “ A simple favor “ 2018
I've read recently that she's had affairs in prison with at least one guard, and various women over the years. She's working the Inmate Dating scene, with lots of men who write to her, put money on her commissary account, and plan for the day she's released. In one letter to just one of her male fans she agreed with him that she'd be a great stepmother! It's obscene, and she hasn't changed her ways at all. I'll be shocked if she gets out anytime soon.
Man… The husband is frozen… It hurts to look at him.
I remember when this happened it broke my heart then and still does all these years later. I don’t think she should be out of prison when u think of the actual horror of this crime. A mother, buckled her young beautiful boys in car seats and drowned them. The fear and pain those two children went through is too great for this woman to be free ever again.
I remember this so specifically. I knew she was lying right away. I hadn’t had my own children yet, but I would have cried for the children I baby-sat, let alone my own. This was huge at the time, and everyone knew she was guilty. Broke every woman’s heart.
What got me, is her telling her babies who are 3yr and 14 months to be brave and take care of each other. Really?
I lost my cat's medicine briefly yesterday . I couldn't believe I had lost it, and went over every room fairly swiftly . There was fear for my cat's big discomfort, and unnerving shame and guilt at myself, at the possibility having to admit to my vet I needed a refill already due to my stupidity, and also an odd fear that a family member would stop in and witness my bad furry parenting . I was almost shaking looking for this cat medicine, I was worried, sad, mad at myself, ashamed, shaky, a little paranoid..and then I found it under a blanket on the couch .
Just as a point of comparison, seeing Susan Smith not losing her marbles over her abducted children was a real eye opener .
But I see what Chase said about dissociative people who have had rough childhoods regarding that she doesn't seem to be all over the place .
Is kitty OK now?
@@lawnerddownunder3461 yes, thank you, found the medicine ! 😋 Thank you for asking ❤️
She could have signed custody over to her ex husband - what a horrific thing to do...
i just love how you guys dont care who goes first. there is absolutely no ego. a team approach. respectful. i wish the world was just like you guys. like, everyone!!!
🙂
I totally agree!
Just my two cents.... Steve Harvey did a bit about her once. The one thing that stands out to me is when he said that she didn't have any cuts, scratches or bruises, and that "you can't take a real mother's kids and they wouldn't be any evidence" of a fight.
The term "mama bear" exists for a reason. Even mothers of a different species will fight for the safety of her children.
I can't wait. I've been requesting this one for a while.
THANK YOU for doing it!
Yay!
“Very sick and emotionally unstable person…to take two beautiful children from their parents” Can’t fathom she could say this in light of what she did to her own sons!
I can’t believe this woman knew her kids were in the car under water for 10 days
she watched them scream looking out back window as she pushed it Into the water.
I vividly remember this when it happened. I remember from the very beginning thinking she was guilty because the “perpetrator “ would have to leave my dead body on the side of the road to take my children. And then….no tears when she was “crying “! Ugh! Any mother saw straight through that!
Thank you! That's exactly it! She had to let him take the kids because he had a gun? Any normal mother would either jump in front of the gun, wrestle it out of his hand, etc. I'd be injured, bleeding and no longer to stand if the police found someone had taken my children.
I lived in Spartanburg when this happened. My mother knew Susan did it without ever seeing speak. She said there was no way a mother got out of her car without her children and let them drive away. She said the fact that she is alive and unharmed means she was involved.
Parole denied!
As I was watching this and heard/saw her say "It's a tragedy", I winced and drew back. I was dumbfounded to hear her say that.
Yes i do remember her blaming a black man and I also remember the composite sketch. I also remember that she had the sympathy of most of the country at the time. I also remember David Smith apologized to the black community afterward which showed a lot of class.
I will never forget this, I had two kids very close in age at the time and this really broke my heart 😭
The reason she said it's a tragedy is because she knows the outcome. A person who doesn't know where their children are, you wouldn't call it a tragedy because you're hoping for a happy ending.
I thought the same thing.
Think she said tragedy because it’s a tragedy for her that she’s still being grilled and won’t get away with it.
She looks and sounds like she feels hopeless because rather than the freedom she was after she has imprisoned herself to relentless attention and focus on the kids and is getting tired of the act.
Get you bingo cards ready for for Scott saying “psychopath”, Greg saying “sacred space”, Mark saying something randomly British, and Chase staying on mute. Can’t wait.
I don't know if "closed eye talking" or "eye blocking" is on the Bingo card, but she did some of that.
😂🤣😂
3 out of 4 isn’t bad, Howard. Excellent prediction.
Where can you find the Bingo cards?
@@lauradove1240 @Howard Maxwell
@Scott Rouse
That's a good question, Laura.
Can one of you guys can tell us?
If you turn off the sound in the beginning when she’s “crying,” it actually looks like she’s laughing.
Absolutely!!
I like it when we have a preview of what is coming. I know nothing about this person, but can now do some research before hand and have some idea of what went on. Thanks.
Oh I'm excited about this one..I remember murmurs from the adults around me about this case. I dont know much but you're right about the previews, I just started a documentary on her 🤣💯
This was a really horrible case. So glad they are doing this!
I think the panel will give us a few facts about the case.
It's like Christmas morning, can't wait to open the weekly present!
She's a child murderer
She always looks like she's smiling! That's really scary!
Even when she’s trying to cry
Nancy, the scrapwhisperer's wife here. I see a different scenario between Susan Smith and her husband. When they are interviewed together I do not believe he is holding her hand. I believe that she is holding his hand. His hand is in her lap because SHE wants it there or put it there. She needs him to believe her. They are an estranged couple knowing things about each other that the public doesn't know.
I think he desperately wants to leave her side but is cooperating for the sake of his children. His children are gone but no one asks him how he feels or how he is doing. All the attention is on his wife. When they first were interviewed as a couple, I could not take my eyes off him. His glare and stillness commanded so much attention. As he sat there stiffly, I senced sorrow but mostly intense anger. I felt he knew things and was holding them in. His body is not leaning into her but is faced straight ahead towards the camera or interviewer. He barely even responds to anything she says. There is no comforting. He is angry and I think he is angry with Susan.
They were seperated when this happened and he was by her side because he wanted to find his kids. Her family was just awful to him during all of this time.
I still think Candus Wells was lying about what happened to Summer.
I saw this when it happened. At the time, I felt she was holding back a smile, even hiding a laugh behind a fake cry. Seeing it all these years later, I completely feel the same way.
I too saw her then. And had no sympathy for her & her self centered, racist fake crying ass
I remember this because they showed how long the babies were in the car before it filled up with water and they drowned. It was several minutes. It was traumatizing to see that video reenactment. Those poor, poor babies. I never understood why she didn't just give them to their Dad if her new boyfriend didn't like kids.
The "boyfriend" didn't want her either. She was just a side piece to him. He was wealthy "high society" and she was poor and from the wrong side of the tracks. He explained how they'd never work out and wished her to move on in the same letter where he said he did not want the children. So he had dumped her before she killed her kids, hence she knew already there was no future with him.
I have never forgotten this. It was horrifying. Pure evil.
Those little boys were darling.
I lived in SC when this happened and I remember thinking that she seemed like she was faking and not even NEAR as lost, frantic and heartbroken as I would have felt had my children been kidnapped. I would have been out for blood! She was just way too calm. Her poor husband was devastated and it showed. He cried real tears. It was so horrible.
I have never physically hated someone as much as her and Casey Anthony. I literally get sick at my stomach listening to their lies. Blaming their actions on being molested as a child is insulting. I'm sure I'm gonna make someone mad by saying this but I don't care if you was molested it does not give you the right to kill your children. Their father would have happily taken care of them. One of the saddest things I have heard is that the boys were holding hands when they were found.
I completely agree. There are many who suffer horrific abuse that would never hurt a child and I hate when they use that as a justification. Especially women like her or Anthony that lie about abuse to use as an excuse.
I remember watching this story in the news with a friend who called it right off the bat. She said you don’t have your children missing and go on national tv with your hair and makeup looking perfect.
Guys, she didn't mean "normality", she meant to say "formality". She was thinking "act normal" while trying to talk and combined the 2 terms. I remember this case and the first interview with her I was screaming at my TV "she did it!!" (I wasn't even on the panel then) : )
“and your daddy and this whole family has loved you so much”…talking about them in past tense. Things that make you go hmmmmmmm🤔
The poor husband, it hurts to watch his face, it´s like a mixture of his mind blowing, profound sadness, shock... poor guy...
I'll never forget when this happened. I will never understand something so horrendous.
When she cries, if you switch off the volume and just look at her face, she actually looks likes she's laughing. Spooky..
That’s exactly what I said in the first video well I said she looks like she’s smiling throughout
I was looking at the husband while she was talking. He looked like he was looking into hell and had been for a while. I actually saw him comeback with a kind of jerk from wherever he was. He looks like he was off wondering if she killed them.
Woman is as cold as ice? In her interview she sounded like she was going to break out into laughter. No empathy in her whatsoever.
Gentlemen this psychopath actually smiles during this , no tears, no evidence of caring whatsoever.
Men I can tell you exactly what happened to me when I lost my little 4 year old son at the mall for 25-30 minutes.
I was 8 months pregnant with my 3rd and my two year old daughter was in the stroller. My son was complaining because I made him hold on to the stroller so I told him he could let go for a minute as we passed the stairs. He was going to walk to the right of the stairs and I would walk to the left and we would meet right after we passed the stairs but he wasn't there I looked all over than I went to the second floor and looked in the book store that we always went to, he wasn't there... I went back down stairs and he wasn't there I walked in a store and told the cashier I lost my son... I entered hell...the next thing I remember was sitting on a bench in the mall surrounded by police and I looked up to the right because I heard a familiar voice and there was my husband who worked 20away from the mall. I don't remember talking to the police or anything I was in a place way beyond tears. As I looked up at my husband to the right of him I noticed something moving going up and down I looked and it was my son skipping with a big smile on his face when he saw his father he said hi daddy. I don't remember driving home or anything it was the most horrible half hour of my life.
God bless you and heal your pain, dear
Oh I didn't understand the first time I read it. Bless you anyway
My daughter was a toddler when this happened. If someone with a gun tried to take her, it would have been on. A mother will fight to the death to protect her babies.
You're absolutely right!
I was around 12 or 13 when this happened and man when we found out the truth the nation was insanely angry. Even when I went to school the next week everyone including teachers and students were talking about it they were upset as hell.
My mother was not loving nor did she want to be a parent, but at least she didn't try to murder us... unless through neglect. 🎉
My children were born the same month and years as Michael and Alex. I was 21 with two children,in an unhappy relationship,in love with another man (or so i thought). He seemed to love me,though dragged his feet in committing to the "ready made family". I never could fathom disappearing my children for a man,which is what SS wanted (Tom Findlay). Her children shouldve been her very first priority,precious and valued...they never were.
I remember when this happened. My housemates and I were watching this, and we all knew straightaway that Susan was lying. We could tell intuitively and pick out behavioral cues, but to listen to the analysis is fascinating.
Those poor babies! Hard to believe she is eligible for parole in 24.
Chase, I just loved your comment about you and the mother dog as you were visiting her puppies.❤️
That's great that Scott mentioned that he'd thought for a second that the interviewer was going to ask her if she knew what "inconsistencies" meant... it's EXACTLY what I was thinking. LOL
Same here!
Me too :)
Raise your hand if you thought the same thing. *Everyone raises hand*
@Brendan Miller me too!
I hate to imagine how scared those 2 little kids were
Same thing in the video starting around 53:00. Every time the husband blinks, which happens a bunch this time, it’s right after she says something that sounds like BS. Consistently.
I remember this case too. Blew me away that any mother would kill her kids because her boyfriend didn’t want kids. I raised three kids and would still die to protect them. My grandkids too. Those precious babies who were loved by the father. Why not let him raise them and walk away?
I think there’s something in the dad’s eyes; as if he’s putting it together in the midst of this interview. I remember watching the news when this happened and even my naive, 20 year old self seemed to be creeped out by her flat, blasé attitude during the whole search and rescue part. When I had kids, I lost my youngest in the Winn Dixie parking lot for 20 seconds and damn near lost my sh!t!! Thanks, gentlemen, for such interesting and educational videos.
I hear ya. Lost my 4 year old in Wal mart once for about that same length of time (she liked to play hide & seek in the clothes racks). I nearly had a heart attack!
I can’t begin to imagine how Davis Smith must’ve felt when he knew she did it.
People like this should NEVER be allowed to re enter society 🤦😡😡 Those poor baby boys 😭🫂💔
Mark Bowden-you reminded me of a real courtroom experience I witnessed years ago from the gallery. A defendant had been found guilty of crimes and was about to be sentenced by the trial judge. The judge asked, “Do you have anything to say before being sentenced?” The defendant stood up and said, with passion, “As God is my witness, I am not guilty of these crimes!” The judge paused and looked toward the door to the courtroom. Because he looked at the door, everyone else in the courtroom looked at the door too. Nothing happened as we all waited for the judge to say something. After what felt like a long time, the judge finally said, “Well, unfortunately for you, it doesn’t look like God is showing up today to testify for you, so I am going to sentence you to the following term in prison,” and he went on to give the defendant the details of the sentence. So, Mark, there’s more proof that it really is difficult to get a god or a demi-god to show up, on demand.
Right. Excellent point 👍
What a GREAT post! Thank you🙂
During the sentencing of Mark Sievers for the murder of his wife, Mark started talking about how he is a Christian and has faith that God knows his heart, etc. and the judge’s response was perfect: “Sir, my job is not to judge you based on your faith, my job is to judge you based on your actions.” Then proceeded to sentence him to death. Awesome response!
Omg I love that. Great story 🙌
Your rapport an chemistry is grand. And I love that even though you are aware of this chemistry you do not overly exploit it. Your Blooper Reel should be entitled The Misbehavior Panel.
I second this!!!!!! The Misbehaviour Panel!!!!! Brilliant
14:39 "Because you guys got to be strong, because you are wi... w..."
I believe she was going to say "because you are with God/Jesus", but then her mind panicked and told her not to say that and in fact to say the opposite. So next she quickly changes topic and says that she knows that they are okay and alive.
My husband lost our 4 year old granddaughter in Walmart and I about lost it. But I went to an employee with her picture on my phone and said my husband lost my granddaughter, gave her name what she was wearing. I was totally panicking but gave them all the information so they could lock down the store and help find her. They found her a few minutes later but I would have waited to die if anything had happened to her. She's my heart! It took me awhile to calm down from that.
I remember when this happened. We didn’t believe her from the start. Her husband showed so much honest emotion. Those poor young boys.
These are so incredibly informing and fascinating to watch. I like how each member of the panel, brings their own uniqueness in describing the body language of the person they’re discussing.
1994 was before I had children. I didn't belive her then. She sounded like she was laughing, not crying. Watching this now after having my own children? I can't even. 💔
My son worked with David after all this was said and done, and told me walked around like a dead man...God bless him and his boys.
The very first thing I noticed about Susan Smith and felt it was incredibly obvious in the first two videos is that she's smiling. In the second she's actually trying to hold back a laugh.
When I saw the interviews with the guy in Colorado who murdered his pregnant wife and put his two little girls in oil tanks I saw that same smirk. That same sinister smile and the first thing I thought was he reminds me of Susan Smith.
Wow. This is the fakest thing I have ever seen in my life. She cannot fake a single emotion even for a second. Just. Wow.
I am an actress.I am impressed by the things these guys pick up on. Learning a lot!
A normal mother wouldn't cave to a gun or anything. A normal mother defends her children like a tiger.
You're exactly right. A normal mother would take a bullet for her children. She would take any form of violence against her or her children to save them. Literally laying down her life for her children. This thing is subhuman and if she was ever human she left her Humanity behind decades ago. There are no words...
@@dianeduffcroop8158 I have truly seen better mothers among wolf spiders.
I think it would be really interesting to see a clip of someone responding to her/his kids disappearance who is responsible for killing them followed by a video of someone whose kids are missing and they're innocent to compare the things you're talking about it. So fascinating!
I was a young mother with two daughters who were very close to the same age as the poor boys. I was so emotionally invested when I watched this on the news. I followed it without fail because I just couldn’t imagine if I lost my two children. I cried when she wasn’t crying and what’s worse, I believed her at first. But I always felt something was off with her. I was so young and as silly as it sounds, I never thought a mother could be so heartless & ruthless. And when the truth came out, I was in complete shock. I could not believe she stood there in front of so many cameras and outright lied to the world- not to mention how she killed those poor beautiful little boys. My God, how do you do that?! I honestly can’t express the roller coaster of emotions I went through. My daughters are now 27 & 30. When I see something about this case, it takes me back to those days. I believe I’ll be infuriated with that woman forever. Such a devastating story in every single way. It will never leave me.
On the flip side, I’m 28 and my brother is 30. My mother said these same sentiments about this case. You were not alone.
@@Kelsey.E it was awful to watch play out.
Ooohhh, now they have their descriptions in text and just start right away. Nice!!!
Susan’s case reminds me of Jennifer Soto, mom of Madeline Soto, in her interviews recently. Jennifer even holds and consoles her boyfriend (perp) at the end of the interview. Sickening 🤢 Can’t wait to see you guys hit that interview and tear it down for all of us. I’ve watched it so many times now and I’m just so flabbergasted she’s not in custody YET. So sickening and heartbreaking 💔 Just waiting on her arrest any time now🤞
Gentlemen thank you for what you do. I have always been insecure and easily duped. You have helped me protect myself better. For me this is a huge gift. So thank you your link is important in a lot of different ways.
Its so creepy to hear her crying - sounds like laughter going through in it
It did sound like laughter.
Right?
Of course because she was excited that Tom Findlay would actually have her after her children were gone. He wouldn't have been with her if she didn't have children because she was sleeping with Tom's father and her own step father
Her fake crying in the first clip was absurd. No one on earth bought that.
I’m so glad that the federal agent said in an interview that as soon as he heard a black man kidnapped her kids he knew she was lying… think about it most kidnappings are for profit and she was basically poor, second of all when you kidnap kids you have to feed them and keep them calm (which I’m sure they’ll be scared and crying the whole time) so if it’s not for money is it worth it?? And a black man riding around with two white children would stick out especially in South Carolina in the earthy 90s she didn’t know that the FBI has this thing called “profiling” and black people really don’t kidnap kids for ransom
imagine murdering your children in the first degree and fake crying, blaming a black man for the crime, and telling her "babies to take care of each other"? what a pos
Her husband looks like he is in total shock. He can't even move
I suffered as a child I experienced trauma many times it caused me to have psychological problems but I have never taken anyones life

Me too... Never once had a thought to harm anyone or myself even though that was done to me. Maybe that's why?
The lead Detective was in a documentary and described waiting Susan out for her confession. He knew she was guilty but had to behave as if for along time. That must have been awful but satisfying for him.
I know NOTHING about body language but remember this case very well. On watching her first public statement I turned to my husband and said, "did you SEE that? She did it. I've never seen a more fake cry or uncaring mother." Even a blind man could have seen it.
Good for you. I watched in disbelief that any mother could murder & lie, but intrinsically something didn’t feel right either.
So did I!
Me too! She was fake as hell and I said the same thing to my husband…..she did it.
Just watched this again and it reminded me at the time that this happened, she always had her hair freshly done with big bows . No mother would worry about her hair in a tragedy.
My heart hurts for her children and their father. He looks broken in all the videos. Glad she's in the pokey!!
