Fifty States of Murder: South Carolina

In a state far, far away, there once lived a Karen... but not just any Karen... THE Karen. Yes, we're talking about South Carolina's Homecoming Queen and Mother of the Year, Susan Smith! Way back in 1994 the country was held captive by the gripping story of a pair of missing toddlers and the tearful press conference of their grieving parents, except one of them was already under suspicion and couldn't quite get her facts straight. Was she carjacked by an imaginary black man? Or did she just sort of, you know, change her mind and decide she didn't want to be a mother anymore? If you think fate is cruel, you haven't met Mrs. Smith! Just remember, when life gives you lemons, insist on speaking to the manager in... South Carolina!
