Child killer and notorious jailhouse harlot Susan Smith is “inconsolable” and fears she may have blown her chances at parole next month.
Smith, now 53, narrowly escaped a date with the electric chair when she murdered her two young sons in 1994 in a bid to hook up with a man other than her husband.
She initially blamed the heartless murders on a Black man.
Her story quickly fell apart.
Now, Smith was convicted for trying to cash-in on her notoriety and it’s expected the South Carolina Parole Board will take a sour view on her money-making gambit.
“She’s inconsolable,” a relative told the New York Post. “She was so close to getting out, and it seems to be collapsing in front of her very eyes. She has derailed it herself. She’s not happy at all.”
The relative added: “She knows it’s now very unlikely she’s going to get out. This is a fresh disciplinary action, a month before her parole hearing. The parole board 100% pays attention to these things. This is really bad.”
Smith’s latest troubles began when she offered up contact information of friends, family and victims, including her ex-husband, to a documentary filmmaker, authorities claim. The auteur then deposited cash into her commissary account.
Earlier this month she was convicted of communicating with a victim of crime stemming from an August incident. South Carolina law forbids criminals from profiting from their crimes. The Post reports that Smith and the documentarian discussed methods of her getting paid for the film.
The pay-for-play scheme is just the latest pitfall for Smith.
When she was a 22-year-old mother, her name was blasted over newspaper front pages and the airwaves for killing her two boys, 3-year-old Michael and 14-month-old Alexander. She rigged her car to roll into a local lake with the babies strapped into their car seats guaranteeing their deaths.
Smith then embarked on an elaborate hoax, claiming the kids had been kidnapped. She and her then-husband David appeared on the news nightly, praying for their children’s return.
Nine days later, she confessed. Smith claimed she was engaged in a torrid sexual affair with a wealthy man who didn’t want kids.
She was convicted and sentenced to life in prison with no parole bids for 30 years.
Her decades in the slammer never deterred her sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle.
Prison guard Alfred Rowe often had sex with the child killer whose drug use escalated the longer she was locked up.
Rowe told People that when Smith moved prisons “she could not longer get the male attention that she used as a drug.”
Her former cellmate, Christie Smith, said the murderous mom paid her to obtain drugs.
“I’ve seen Susan do everything. Snort, booty bump, swallow, shoot. I’ve seen her do it all,” Smith said. “My main purpose was to bring her her pills.”
Smith has been disciplined at least five times since 2010 alone. Most of the offences were drug-related.
In 2000, she was disciplined for having sex four times with 50-year-old turnkey Houston Cagle. He pleaded guilty and spent three months in jail. The following year, Rowe also pleaded guilty to having sex with Smith and was sentenced to five years probation.
She later claimed the sex was not consensual.
However, her amorous antics were not confined to male jail guards. Smith has had several lesbian lovers in the big house.
“Her lover is a big woman who looks like a man,” a former cellmate said in 2012, adding that Smith likes her women masculine.
But the prosecutor who sent Smith to the slammer has never been moved by the child killer.
“(Susan Smith) has always taken a self-centred focus over the years,” former prosecutor Tommy Pope told WYFF. “It’s still more about her, not about Michael and Alex, not about the regrets of the crime. It’s more about the way she’s perceived.”
