In a bizarre twist, Susan Smith, the incarcerated mother serving a life sentence for the tragic murder of her two young sons in 1994, has been entangled in a web of romantic connections from behind bars. The Messenger has uncovered call logs and transcripts revealing Smith’s communication with at least eight male suitors, sparking revelations of simultaneous romantic liaisons.
One disillusioned suitor, expressing his frustration, shared with The Messenger, “I didn’t know that she was talking to a lot of guys. I’m just one of too many men. That’s not what I want to be.” The revelations bring to light a complex love life unfolding within the confines of the Leath Correctional Institution in Greenwood, S.C.
While some conversations between Smith and her admirers touch on mundane topics like the weather, others delve into romantic exchanges, pet names, and even sexual innuendo. The suitor expressed surprise at the public nature of these interactions, stating, “I thought that our conversations were just between us. I didn’t know that anyone can read them and listen to phone calls.”

As Smith, now 52, approaches the possibility of parole in 2024, a relative reveals her hope of finding the “right man” to live with upon release. Despite her incarcerated status, Smith continues to attract male attention, prompting the relative to comment, “Guys have always flocked to Susan. It’s crazy to me, but for Susan, it’s an opportunity.”

Susan Smith’s notoriety stems from the 1994 incident where she let her car roll into a lake with her two sons strapped into their car seats. Falsely claiming a carjacking by a Black man, the case garnered international attention. Convicted of two counts of first-degree murder in 1995, Smith is eligible for parole in November 2024.
Amidst the revelations of her tangled romantic pursuits, Smith remains silent, offering no response to The Messenger’s attempts for comment. A relative notes, “She’s always had a messy love life. Some things don’t change.” As the prospect of parole looms, Susan Smith’s complex love story continues to unravel, raising questions about the nature of connections forged within the confines of a prison cell.
