Susan Smith made headlines in 1994 when she strapped her two young children, Michael and Alexander, into their car seats and drove her car into a lake, letting it submerge and drown them both. She was convicted of both their murders and given life in prison with the possibility of parole in 30 years. This November, she will finally be eligible for that parole, but many people do not want her ever released.
Rex Heuermann is also in the news as he stands trial for the infamous Gilgo Beach murders. He faces even more charges as DNA from strands of hair connect him to more deaths, and his killings may even stretch over state lines.
