Susan Smith, who is serving a life sentence in South Carolina for the murders of her two sons in 1994, said that if she were to be paroled and walk free, she would be able to appear on “Dancing with the Stars.” It is said that he had ambitions, such as trying to appear in ''. Her former suitors.
“Once she gets out of prison, we will discuss opportunities,” the suitor says. She had made specific plans to be with Smith once she was released. “We brainstormed many times. She will send me a letter and tell me about her plans when she is released on parole.”
“She was thinking about some sort of advice blog, or prison reform, or a way to be active on social media,” said a suitor in her 60s from Michigan. “She even asked me how she could get on 'Dancing with the Stars,' because everyone said they would watch her.”
“She always thought it would be fun to be on the show, and when they put Anna Delvey on the show, Susan felt like maybe there was a chance,” the suitor claims. .
The suitor stopped contacting Smith after learning that he was one of many men with whom the murderer's mother was romantically interested.
Officials at Reese Correctional Facility told the Post that the killer's mother has remained silent since she was denied parole. “She seems devastated,” the source says. “There was a big change in her demeanor.”
Smith, 53, made his case before the seven-member Parole Board on Wednesday, November 20th. Appearing in court via Zoom call from prison, she detailed why she believes she should be released.
The only two people who spoke in support of her were the pastor and his wife. Her ex-husband David Smith, many family members and those involved in the case spoke out against her release.
However, the board quickly denied her parole application. She can reapply for parole in November 2026.
David Smith is going to stand in her way whenever she tries to get out of prison. “I come back every two years,” Smith says. “That's what I'll do. She didn't care about Alex and Michael, so she can spend the rest of her life in prison. She should definitely get out.”
Smith was a 22-year-old mother when she shot to fame after killing her sons, three-year-old Michael and 14-month-old Alexander. In 1994, she drove her car into John D. Long Lake in Union County, South Carolina, with her sons strapped into child seats.
Smith then falsely told police that a black man had carjacked her and kidnapped her infant, leading authorities to go door-to-door in the predominantly African-American neighborhood.
Smith and her then-husband appeared on national news daily to plead for the boys' safe return.
But nine days later, Smith finally confessed that the carjacking had never happened and that he had drowned his sons in the lake.
Smith's rejection by the parole board came as no surprise to most onlookers. In South Carolina, only 8% of parole applicants are granted parole, according to Office of Probation, Parole and Pardons.
But the notorious killer still told suitors he believed they might get his way. “She believed it was God's will for her to leave,” the suitor said. “She's a very delusional woman. Bad news, that is.”
