Susan Smith is an American woman who was convicted of the homicide of her two sons, three-year-old Michael and 14-month-old Alexander, in 1994 by drowning them in a South Carolina lake. The case gained international attention because of Smith's false claim that a black man had kidnapped her sons during a carjacking. Her defense attorneys, David Bruck and Judy Clarke, called expert witnesses to testify that she suffered from mental health issues that impaired her judgment when she committed the crimes. Smith was originally sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 30 years' imprisonment. According to the South Carolina Department of Corrections, she will be eligible for parole on November 4, 2024.
Smith's defense psychiatrist diagnosed her with dependent personality disorder and major depression. Dependent personality disorder (DPD) is characterized by a pervasive psychological dependence on other people. Major depressive disorder (MDD), also known simply as depression, is a mental disorder characterized by at least two weeks of pervasive low mood, low self-esteem, and loss of interest or pleasure in normally enjoyable activities.

I remember when that happened. We thought she looked more like she was smiling, than crying.
For real, I remember saying on the first interview, ‘she killed those kids.’
Same here. I thought that she was almost smirking 😏!
Husband looks pissed and in shock. He already suspects her, he’s just waiting for confirmation of his suspicions. His face gets darker with each interview.
There is no man on this planet more important than my kids
I don't have kids and I love my husband, but if I had kids, duh THEY ARE #1, over my needs, wants and desires. What is wrong with ppl? How can you hurt a baby, not to mention you own flesh and blood.
Her husband looks like he’s in shock.
I remember one time on local news there was a mother of a missing child who did similar fake crying and said "I just want her back, dead or alive." DEAD OR ALIVE? I immediately said aloud "she killed the kid." Nobody wants their child back dead. If you're a psychopath it's hard to fake empathy.
I like how you let the clip play behind you as you’re speaking.
I remember watching this on TV when I was a kid and I told my Mom she was lying. That she did something to the kids. That first video always struck me as she was laughing while "crying".
As a total layperson, when I see videos of parents whose children have been kidnapped talking to the press, their expressions and tone immediately overwhelm me. I often have to turn it off because I can't bear to watch someone in such agony--it physically hurts. These videos do not do that at all.
Good point!
I’m a minute in.. I have no idea how people can be so emotionless. I started to tear up when my students were taking their final today because that means it’s almost the end of our time together. 🥺
Her poor husband is practically catatonic right up until he's asked a question.
I feel so bad for the dad, he looks absolutely devastated and in shock. She looks like she is laughing almost constantly.
The way her ex husband looked at her was a huge red flag to me at the time
Sometimes she looks like she's trying not to laugh.
I'll NEVER forget that and the tears I shed over knowing those boys WATCHED mom unalive them
Always felt so sorry for her husband. You could tell he was in shock.
The poor dad. I hope he managed to make a life for himself after this.
He has, he has kids. He has fought her lies and is fighting the parole she wants.
It looked like to me she was fighting back a smile! Creepy
Please ignore the complaints about this being a re-upload. Most people dont mind. And I like revisiting older cases. Especially when the video is shorter and more condensed.
She is going to be up for parole in November. Maybe that's why. 🤷♀
@@slh6903 yes. I know.
I think she’s trying not to smile or laugh
That's what I see, also
I couldn’t stand her fake crying and whiney voice when it happened and I still can’t stand it. 😡
She’s almost smiling.
The phrase, " I know in my heart" is a clear admittance to guilt.
I remember when this happened and I said no woman who just lost her kids would have her hair done with a big white bow!
This is timely. She’s up for parole.
I had a son the same age as Michael when this happened. Something that always bothered me was the way Susan Smith would never look anyone in the eyes during interviews. I can't believe this woman is eligible for parole this November! I pray she's never gets parole. 🙏
What year was this?
The husband looks very uncomfortable, I think he knew from the beginning that she lied. She was so fake, even I could tell.
he looks shell shocked
I remember being pregnant with our firstborn and feeling sorrow for the children and suspicion of her first interview.
What a horrible thing a mother killing her own children. She should stay in jail for the rest of her life.
Chase is a natural teacher.
And this is not meant to disparage Greg, Scott, or Mark. Just an observation!
I will never ever forget the day they arrested Susan Smith. I remember the shot. I felt it was a physical thing.
Also, I recently lost my two precious fur babies, and I am sure the grief I feel over this loss is greater than what Susan’s felt with the loss of her children. My heart is simply broken over having lost my two little companions. The three of us were a family , just as she and her boys were a family what a shame.
LOVE when you show the video DURING your comments! AND it's shorter! Really, really love you guys, but this is much easier to watch than longer videos!
I live in SC and the horrible events that took place broke every one in South Carolina's ❤
Arizonan here, I was crushed, everyone I knew was crushed. She was hated, still is.
Many people in South Carolina have a lot of introspection and self examination of their own conscience to do.
Love how the behavior panel changed their format from when there was a comment about wanting to see what they were talking about at the same time. This video visual is amazing. Thanks for reading viewers opinions and enhancing your videos!
This is a close up of a previous episode, breaking parts down in more detail. The guys were at Crime-Con so Sadie edits these close ups of previous episodes. They're great! I really enjoy the close ups and I remember the Susan Smith one well.
Who is Sadie?
@@meghanmisaliar She works with behaviour panel, does edits and mods.
OMG. The "crying" with no tears is what my narcissistic mother-in-law does when her deceased husband is mentioned, and talks while "crying" saying "he was a good man" and "the light of my life", which is interesting because she treated him like a servant for the last 5 or so years of his life (he passed away). She NEVER says "I love him" or even "I loved him." She will stop "crying" on a dime to say something she just thought of. I call it "Amber Heard-ing." It's fascinating to watch.
She looks like she is trying to not smile
I too remember seeing her on TV and just getting the feeling that "something isn't right with her and the story..."
Glad you revisited this one...I always love when you guys would show us the behavior as you're talking about it!
I remember when this happened... I told my husband something was up with her... I had young kids as her... I never ever would of left that car without my kids.. EVER
Same here...I told everyone " she doesnt look anyone in the face. Shes ashamed..
It looks like she’s actually laughing.
I remember the news coverage when it happened. He had real grief - I knew she was lying. I got the same impression on Patsy Ramsey when news cameras filmed her leaving the funeral.
I remember when this happened. When I watched any of the news clips with her in it I felt something wasn’t right . She seemed so fake. I also remember a picture taken of the dad (I think it as he was leaving the funeral for the boys but not positive). I’ll never forget that picture because there was total devastation on his face, saddest thing I ever saw. RIP boys.
I remember when this happened..it was the first time i ever noticed a person crying with no tears.
I remember this vividly. I had just given birth to my 1st child and had to go back to work. I snot cried daily for months before work. I knew this woman was a liar. No tears.
Her fake crying over missing kids almost made me cry for real. I feel bad for everyone who is or was in her life
Greg and Scott in the upstairs quarters, and Chase & Mark down yonder in the peasant quarters... a huge thank you to all of you for continuing to make these videos. Y'all are wonderful, and I truly appreciate all the work, time, and energy you guys put forth.
She keeps her eyes closed as well. That whine isn’t grief.
Thank you guys, you're really busy with your jobs. These close ups are wonderfully done by Sadie. She's awesome.
Absolutely love how you now show the clips when explaining what is happening fantastic rather then wait till the replay ❤ makes it so much more clear to spot what your saying
Fantastic guys
When she's talking to the media, if you muted the sound and took screen shots at different times you'd think she was laughing. As far as that goes, she's sounds like she's about to start laughing at different times while she's pretending to cry.
Exactly!
I always wondered deep down what the father was really thinking. He seems off to me, too. I think he suspected, but it's such a horrific idea, I think he couldn't believe it.
@Lindawilson4625 in shock and pain beyond words to this day . Does not stand with what Susan did to his children whom he loves to this day . Never missing anything to do with Susan release to not be let out , has went through more pain grief for his children as Susan hasn't
I was 22 and living with ex husband in a military base . I said right away “ how is she seeing the left side of the guys face, if she was in the passenger seat? This ain’t Britain “ of course he told me I was cynical. Yeah no longer married.
I Love Love Love Love the Behavior Panel , they are freaking amazing! ✌🏽💕🙏🏽✝️😊
I feel so sorry for the father/husband he's utterly traumatised and grief-stricken into a zombie state.
The self soothing kneading of his hand into her arm is so sad to see. He must have been heartbroken when it was confirmed to be her.
The betrayal by your spouse and partner in life and parenthood, the taking away of your children in the most cruel way must be all consuming.
I remember when this happened and it still haunts me to this day. I had young children at the time and I had that gut feeling she did something to them. This was before social media to sway opinions. I just knew, and was horrified when the truth came out, that a mother could do that to her own babies and just for a guy she wanted and felt her children held her back from being with him
I was just finding out I was pregnant with my oldest of 3 (18 months between each of them) when this unfolded. I remember the hormones had me DEEPLY wounded by this.
On our HARDEST day, I still couldn't wrap my head around hurting my babies.
I remember getting ready for school, half watching her interview, and thinking "that bish is lying". If my young a ss could see it, I knew she did something to them and seeing that car on the back of that trailer broke my heart. I can't imagine how it would have felt being pregnant. There used to be a peanut butter commercial that would make me tear up during my time of month😂😂
My children were in high school when this happened and I remember seeing her on tv. I told my husband then that she had killed her children. So sad. Still makes me mad
Isn't it funny that we get those feelings. Even without training, we have a sense, a built in gut feeling, when someone is lying.
Mark says, "I think I see a sour taste..." THIS is what I come for from him, spying the underlying giveaways in composure as well as in language. Thank God for Mark.
I heard those precious boys were found holding hands🕊️💙🦋💙
Tears…..those poor angels 👼🏻👼🏻. They did not deserve this. Why didn’t she just leave?
That's horrible 😢
❤❤😊
Thank you for this ongoing education, it is worth its weight in gold (only if gold was worth more) Blessings ever from Belfast.
"Your whole family HAS loved you so much." As soon as she started talking, I knew she had done something to her babies. I remember this so well.
Susan is eligible for parole November of this year. Please please, I hope you guys have lost the key. Never ever should she ever see daylight. 😢
I agree
I remember when this happened! I immediately thought something was way off! If my babies were missing you would have had to sedate me! I would have gone absolutely berserk with full face ugly crying or screaming.
Told my family crap she did something to those boys within 3 minutes into the interview.
Me too
I live in SC not very far from where this happened. I did not have children at the time, but every mom I knew didn’t need to be a body language expert. All the moms knew she did it. Never a doubt in their minds. Every one of the moms I knew at the time would say, no mama would allow someone to take their children. They would die protecting their children. Feel very sorry for the dad to this day.
Never believed her right from the start.
It is so cringy watching a Psychopath or a Narcissist trying to fake emotions
I think the worst I have ever seen was Chris Watts... That was actually embarrassing.
Thank you for this channel guys.
I once heard that psychopaths a good mimics.
She looks like she is trying to convince people of her grief rather than trying to get her kids back.
He knows when she's lying. He's in shock and trying to accept she did it. He kinda has to let it play out.
Great panel. I knew when I saw this interview years ago she had done something to those children. Absolutely unbelievable.
If you turn off the volume and concentrate on her face, it looks like she’s laughing, not crying. Simplistic, I know. But written all over her face.
When she is 'crying' it sounds like she is trying not to laugh, too. I found that very strange at the time when this first appeared on tv.
Wondered if I was the only one who thought that
And the other way around... Sound only and not looking at her. I don't hear pain, I don't hear the vibration in the voice which appears when people are in distress, uncertainty, anxiety. It's off 💯
She looked more like she was laughing than crying
This horrified me, I was going through fertility treatments when this happened. As soon as I saw her talking I told my mom that she did it. No eye contact, tears, talking me, me, me. It chilled my soul
I don't know much about reading body language but the father looks a lot like he is knows the woman holding his hand is responsible. He is frozen
He does. He must have wanted to vomit.
... she's up for parole.. I hear? God help the neighborhood, if she's released..
Human faith/hope is nonexistent with her unfortunately / leider …
@@Hannah-qo9bhleider, leider. So grausam! Hallo aus Kanada 🍁
She almost looks like she is grinning
I so remember this. My kids were four and two at the time. I remember saying to my husband she is not acting right. Why the closed eyes while asking the world to find her boys? EVIL WOMAN.
Same here with kids about the same age. I kept saying ‘where are the tears?’ Something was so off.
Me too, my girls were 5 and 3. I thought, there’s no way I would let a car jacker take my babies. Real mommas would die for their children ❤
@@kellystarlight7025 I saw an interview with David Smith’s father, who said something like “and she didn’t have the bumper in her hands? Anyone would have held on to the back of that car to save their kids.” I think they had her figured out from the beginning.
If you want to see a mother ravaged with worry and grief and pain, look at Sharon Rocha when her pregnant daughter, Laci Peterson, was missing. She NEVER made it about herself but always about her daughter. I bet to this day she has never been the same and the scenarios in the mom part of her brain has to be horrid. That is true grief, worry, torture, and fear. To this day my heart breaks for Sharon Rocha.
I found one press conference video of Lacy's mother and family around her. I had never seen them before. Mother spoke a lot in the past tense when referring to Lacy. I think it's because sometimes mothers just know. It appeared to me Lacy's mother was highly suspecting Lacy was no longer alive and Lacy's father knows mom feels this way. He's busted up in the video. Sharon is calm and still, her other children are calm and still but they have concern and worry on their face. Sharon is not showing much and I think it's because she has already accepted that Lacy is not coming home. She says she had to have hope but she shrugs and it looks, to me, like she doesn't, deep down, have hope. This 7 minute video I just watched, at your suggestion, is the first and only video of Sharon I've watched. There are many more popped up in the search and I want to watch them next. If I didn't believe Sharon was resigned to the reality her daughter and grandson are not alive, I would probably feel suspicious. Did Sharon ever say, in subsequent interviews that she had a gut feeling Lacy wasn't coming home? I will watch though and maybe I can answer that myself. Thank you for your suggestion.
I have been waiting for this. I remember seeing her on an ABC morning show before they found the children and telling my husband she did it. He told me you don’t know that.
I did.
1. We had babies the same age and there wasn’t a mark in her. I would have been unalive or beaten black and blue had someone tried to take my children
2. There wasn’t a single tear and when she spoke there was no real emotion in voice. It wasn’t that it was flat, it was fake.
On the other hand the boys father sat there almost comatose. You could see the pain on his face. I truly felt for him.
Anyway when it came out she had drowned them I wasn’t at all surprised.
Every mother knew she did it.
Everyone knew
"unalive"? Surely, YT still lets us say dead.
This one I knew she was guilty. I saw Susan Smith on the tv and said out loud “Oh my God she killed her kids! I wept as I’d just given birth to my second son and I was heartbroken. My mother in law disagreed and claimed no mother would do that. But I’m good at reading faces and spotting liars that act wrong. It’s a trick I picked up as a sensitive child with moody and temperamental family. What that woman did was disgusting including blaming her boys’ being carjacked by a black man. She is a psychopath. That fake crying and acting is just not convincing. Her ex husband I believed.
The edited versions are a great learning tool and a refresh after the initial airing especially with the picture in picture edits and the cutaways that can show something at the same time as the guys are talking. Well done!
I remember this witch. It's great hearing all the key points all of you are sharing with us.
I have noticed that people describing a recent traumatic event will have their eyes darting back and forth as if they are seeing everything all over again. I'm not talking about when the person is in shock, that's different. She doesn't look in shock either.
I do that when I am talking about traumatic events when my children faced grave illness for years. It's almost as if I cant "go there" and also look someone in the eye at the same time. It's too painful and it's been decades. Anytime I even think of thise years it's like it's happening still
She has absolutely not one wrinlke of grief on her forehead.
Jennifer Soto reminds me of Susan Smith..
Oh BTW Susan is up for parole this year , please pray 🙏 she doesn't get released.
Shes almost laughing when trying to fake cry its kind of scary
I think she is stopping herself from uncomfortable laughing.
Scott I thought the same thing when she was asking her about the inconsistencies…. I really thought she was going to ask her if she knew what it meant so she could explain it to her
I can remember when this happened. We were watching it on the tv in the restaurant we worked at. I said, "She did it." and walked away. She was way too fake. Just ask a woman, we know things.
❤❤❤
Women know, they know.
I'm far from an expert, but I felt the same. No sincerity at all!
Yep, I had the same reaction.
Not just women. Anyone with eyes, ears and common sense knew she was guilty.
When this first came out I knew she did this but I didn’t know why I knew. After learning so much from you all now I know why. Thank you so much for teaching me so much. ❤
She looks like she is smiling, almost laughing. She is loving the camera. My mother was this way.. Anytime there is something bad happening, she loved the drama and would smile or even laugh at someone's suffering.
I thought I saw a hint of a smile.
Yes... She was on the verge of laughing/smiling. So horrible!!!
I remember a Dateline special about the interrogation. The police did a good job getting her trust and eliciting the confession. Oprah did a good job interviewing Smith's ex-husband. The 'where are you now' piece was also very moving. He was open about expressing his grief and his feelings towards Smith. He did have more children--two boys I think--and he talked about how he explained the deaths of Michael and Alex, the brothers they never knew.
That Marcus Sinclair guy that she had dated a couple of times, was the rich kid in town. You know, small town, wealthiest family in the area, and she wanted to have a relationship with him. He wrote her a letter, and told her in plain English that he didn't think of her that way, and he also mentioned that he did not want children. She thought if she got rid of the kids, that would eliminate the problems, but he liked having hook-ups with her, but he'd never marry her. Now she's up for parole, after 30 years in prison, but I don't think she'll ever get out.
All i can think about are those precious children trying to find air pockets in the car to breathe or find ways to escape the car as water fills it in. It's horrific!! They drowned while she watched! Sick!
She couldn’t see it, it was night and the car went really far out into the water. But she stood there long enough. Then went to tell her lie about a car-jacking.
One of the babies did not like water
Weren't they strapped in car seats?
@@PinkGrammarGirl I started to say this, but it makes it even worse. Poor little guys.
I wish yall would breakdown the Nicole Kessinger interviews. She was the Watts' mistress.
They know who she is lol
I see her stifling a laugh, like she's actually thrilled.
I remember when this happened, I was a young mother at that point. It didn't take long to realize that she was lying and it was so horrific to think of these young babies drowning
I cried when I read the babies were found holding hands. It still makes me cry. =(
She looks almost like she’s getting ready to laugh when she really should cry
Yes
She is up for parole in 2024... yikes. She looks really different.
Saying, "You take care of each other!" sounds like she let them go, there off her hands and can take care of each other. 😱
I’m from Mississippi, and this girl makes me feel like I grew up in the east side of Manhattan!!!!
Country as corn!!!
Hey Chase you look good now I was getting worried because you were a bit pale and not looking good. I saw your video.. I'm so sorry to hear about your illness.
Not sure, but I think this is older footage?🤔
Keeping you and my prayers Chase ❤️ 🙏
Crying, but no tears 🤨
From the opening clip I remember first seeing her on TV and I could not help but notice her husband more looking at her "crying" and he's so angry with her and suspicious totally does not believe her. I remember seeing this on TV and I was balling tears over her boy's and she was definitely not - I always learn so much from all of you Thank you.
