Child killer Susan Smith is reportedly causing chaos behind bars, months after a South Carolina panel denied her parole in late 2023.
As CrimeOnline previously reported, Smith, 53, is serving a life sentence for drowning her two sons in a lake in 1994.
In November 2023, she was denied parole and according to the New York Post, has been facing disciplinary actions following the panel’s decision.
An employee at the Leath Correctional Institution stated that Susan Smith was cooperative, helpful, and pleasant when she had the opportunity for release last year.
”But now she’s the complete opposite. Just rude and b—-y all the time. Overnight, she went from being a model prisoner to a complete nightmare.”
In August, Smith faced a charge for communicating with a victim or witness of a crime by speaking to a documentary filmmaker, which went against prison regulations. This incident occurred shortly after she had informed an unidentified male over the phone that she would not engage with the media.
Although this marked her first disciplinary action in nearly ten years, Smith was found guilty of the charge on October 3, according to Chrysti Shain, the director of communications for the South Carolina Department of Corrections as reported by Fox News Digital.
Smith, 23 at the time and a single mother, spent nine days in October 1994, pleading for help in locating her two sons, Michael and Alexander.
She claimed that on the night her sons disappeared, a Black male approached her at a stoplight, forced her out of her red Mazda Protégé, stole her car, and drove away with her two sons still inside the vehicle.
On November 3, 1994, following a nationwide search and an in-depth investigation, Smith admitted she left her boys in her car, then let the vehicle roll into the John D. Long Lake in Union County. Police later found both children dead inside the car, around 60 feet from the shore.
Smith was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 30 years, avoiding the death penalty.
