Murderous mother Susan Smith’s suitors abandon her as she seeks parole

Susan Smith, who was in prison for the cold-blooded 1994 murders of her two young sons, had no shortage of romantic suitors during her incarceration – but now that she has a shot at freedom, none of the men she loves will vouch for her.

Smith has been unable to find a single character witness to testify on her behalf at her upcoming parole hearing on Nov. 20, sources told The Post.

“Yeah, they all just wanted one thing out of her,” said a relative of the 53-year-old killer. “But they didn’t want to record their full names to argue that she should get out of prison.”

The Post reached out to four of the men who regularly called and texted Smith. Two of them didn’t return the call, one hung up and the fourth groaned when he heard Smith’s name.

“I’m not going to stick my neck out for her and then have her run off with another guy,” the suitor, in his early 60s, told The Post. “I’m no sissy.”

“I found out that if I endorse her, my name and address will become public record,” he continued. “I don’t need that s–t in my life.”

But while Smith has been unable to garner support for the hearing, the people opposing her release have flooded in South Carolina Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services with nearly 150 letters condemning her.

Although the letters are not publicly available, a Smith family source previously told The Post that many of them are full of nasty comments about Smith’s attempts to get out of prison after 30 years.

In addition to the letters from the public, those closer to the case also plan to strongly oppose her parole.

Former prosecutor Tommy Pope and Smith’s ex-husband, David Smith, plan to testify against her release.

“The belief was that she would spend her time thinking about (her murdered sons) Michael and Alex,” Pope said Greenville online. “It’s clear she hasn’t been thinking about Michael and Alex.”

“She has sex with the guards and now has guys who want her on social media when she gets out of jail,” Pope said. “She’s not focused on remorse for the lives she took. I think she should continue to serve her sentence and serve it moving forward.”

David Smith, who lost his two sons in the murders, agrees.

“She took the greatest gift we have from life,” he said Carolina the fox. “She took that away from them and I want people to remember that.”

Smith was a 22-year-old mother when she became a household name for killing her sons, 3-year-old Michael and 14-month-old Alexander. In 1994, she rolled her car into John D. Long Lake in Union County, South Carolina, with her boys still strapped in their car seats.

Smith then falsely told police that a black man had carjacked her and kidnapped the children, leading to a manhunt in which authorities went door-to-door among local neighborhoods that were predominantly African-American.

Smith and her then-husband appeared on the national news every day, pleading for the boys’ safe return.

But nine days later, Smith finally admitted that there was no carjacker and that she had drowned her sons in the lake.

Her alleged motive: She had an affair with a wealthy man who did not want children. The car was pulled out of the water with the two boys inside, exactly where she left them.

But Smith insists she’s just being misunderstood. In one 2015 letter she told Statsavisen that she was mentally ill.

“I’m not the monster society thinks I am. I’m far from it,” she wrote. “I’m far from it. Something went very wrong that night. I wasn’t myself. I was a good mother and I loved my boys. There was no motive as it was not even a planned event. I was not in my right mind.”

It seems unlikely that Smith will be paroled.

She has incurred several violations while in prison, including those for possession of marijuana, self-mutilation and sex with guards.

Last month she was convicted of trying to cash in on her infamy by talking to a documentary producer behind bars and discussing receiving payment for her story.

Smith lost his phone, tablet and cafeteria privileges for 90 days beginning Oct. 4. She can receive visitors but has no electronic communication with anyone.
