Susan Smith, who drowned her two young sons by strapping them into a car and rolling it into a lake, is seeking parole in South Carolina after three decades in prison for the murders.
Smith sobbed on television in October 1994, claiming Michael and Alexander had been kidnapped and begging for their return, while their bodies were at the bottom of a lake.
Her story unraveled quickly when investigators discovered a letter from her lover, indicating her motive for the crime was to keep him by placing her children in danger.
In the end, their bodies were found in a car that had lasted nearly six minutes before sinking to the muddy bottom of the lake.
