In November 1994, Susan Smith, then 23 years old, informed police her sons had been taken when she was carjacked by a black man in the city of Union, as reported by CNN.
A search was launched, and the media kept close eyes on the eerie case.

But authorities said her children were already dead by that time — fastened in their car seats at the bottom of John D. Long Lake.
The investigation turned inwards to the mother until Susan finally confessed. Her story was broadcast internationally, and her murder trial in 1995 gained worldwide attention.
Netizens were convinced Susan’s statement was nothing more than a “fake apology”
