  • South Carolina: Susan Smith
    Jul 1 2024
    David Smith met Susan Vaughn at the local Winn Dixie in Union, South Carolina when the two were teenagers working as cashiers. Soon, they started dating and fell in love and Susan became pregnant. The two married and started a life together. They then had a second son.
    But things were not perfect, not even close. Susan and David both had affairs and they fought over things like money constantly. Until October 25, 1994, David received a call at work. He and Susan were separated by that point. It was Susan telling him that she had been carjacked and that the man had taken off with her car and their two boys in the backseat. For nine days, a massive search effort was launched, until early November when Susan admitted the terrifying truth. She had made the whole thing up, and had drowned their two precious baby boys.

  • Rhode Island: The Brendel Family Murders
    Jun 17 2024
    Ernest Brendel was an attorney who lived with his wife, Alice, a library assistant, and their young daugther, Emily in Barrington, Rhode Island. Through a mutual friend, Ernie met Chris Hightower, a twice-married financial advisor and the families became close. They even vacationed together in the New Hampshire moutains. But Ernie had invested $11,000 of his money with Chris and Chris lost it all. Irate, Ernie called the Commodities and Futures Trading Commission and placed a complaint against Chris Hightower.
    That enraged Chris to the point where, on September 20, 1991, Chris snapped. He purchased a crossbow at a local sporting goods store and laid in wait for Ernie Brendel in his garage. The next few days would have Chris going on the run, committing multiple murders and other criminal acts, and would involve wild tales of mob hits and buried bodies.
