Susan Smith: The 1994 Case That Shocked America

On October 25th, 1994, Susan Smith reported that a Black man had carjacked her vehicle at gunpoint with her two young sons still inside. Three-year-old Michael and fourteen-month-old Alexander were gone, taken by a stranger into the South Carolina night. For nine days, the nation watched as Susan and her husband David made tearful pleas on television for their children's safe return. "America's children," the media called them. Thousands of tips poured in. Law enforcement from across the country joined the search. But investigators were noticing inconsistencies. A traffic light that shouldn't have been red. A friend who wasn't home. Small details that didn't add up. On November 3rd, 1994, Susan Smith confessed to the unthinkable: she had driven to John D. Long Lake, strapped her sons in their car seats, and let the car roll into the water whilst she stood on the shore and watched them drown. Tonight on Crime at Bedtime, we examine the case that shocked the world. ONTENT WARNING: This episode contains detailed descriptions of child murder and maternal filicide.

The Murder of Kristil Krug: When a Stalker Was Closer Than Anyone Thought

When Colorado mom Kristil Krug started receiving threatening messages from an ex-boyfriend she hadn't seen in twenty years, she did everything right. She documented the harassment, reported it to police, installed security cameras, and even hired a private investigator. For two months, the stalker sent increasingly violent threats, claiming to watch her every move and sending photos of her husband arriving at work. On December 14th, 2023, just eleven days before Christmas, Kristil was found bludgeoned and stabbed to death in her garage. The investigation into her ex-boyfriend's whereabouts would lead to a shocking discovery: he had an airtight alibi and had never sent a single message. So who was terrorizing Kristil Krug? The answer was closer than anyone could have imagined and the digital evidence would reveal a calculated deception that lasted months. Tonight on Crime at Bedtime, we uncover the truth behind Kristil Krug's murder. Content warning: This episode contains descriptions of domestic violence, stalking, and murder.

On Aug. 23, 1984, Mary Flynn had been visiting her brother Martin Flynn and his wife, Kate, looking for houses for sale in their neighborhood. That night, around 10 p.m., a neighbor saw Flynn walking from her Toyota Tercel to the back door of her home after her visit to her brother and his wife. Hours later, she was dead. The next day, concerned that Mary hadn’t shown up for work and unable to reach her, a fellow nurse at Cleveland Metropolitan General Hospital called Marty Flynn. The two met at the duplex and got in through an unlocked door on the tenants’ side of the basement, according to court documents. His sister was lying facedown on her bare mattress, nude, badly beaten and bloodied. Her wrists were bound behind her back with what appeared to be a torn strip of the bed sheet, which was also tied around her neck and the bed’s headboard. It wasn't long till police would bring in Tony for questioning, he'd recently done some work on Mary's house and had been seen talking with her that day.

Tom Phillips Case: The True Story of New Zealand's Four-Year Manhunt

In December 2021, Tom Phillips vanished into the dense New Zealand wilderness with his three children—Jayda, Maverick, and Ember—triggering a nearly four-year manhunt that gripped the nation. Using his expert survival skills and knowledge of the rugged Waikato region, Phillips evaded police, elite military trackers, and an $80,000 reward while allegedly committing armed robberies to survive. The search ended violently in September 2025 when Phillips was killed in a shootout with police after breaking into a rural supply store, critically wounding an officer. His three children were found safe at a remote campsite and returned to their mother. This is the extraordinary true story of obsession, survival, and the tragic end of New Zealand's most wanted father.
