In 1994, a young single mother named Susan Smith claimed that a Black man stole her car with her two young sons inside. The case made national news, and Smith went on TV begging for the carjacker to return her sons unharmed. A month later, Smith confessed to police that she let her car roll into a nearby lake to kill her children for the purpose of rekindling a relationship with a man who said he did not want to date a woman with children. After the children drowned, she fabricated the carjacking story to mislead the police. Smith plead not guilty by reason of insanity.
