David Smith met Susan Vaughn at the local Winn Dixie in Union, South Carolina when the two were teenagers working as cashiers. Soon, they started dating and fell in love and Susan became pregnant. The two married and started a life together. They then had a second son. 
But things were not perfect, not even close. Susan and David both had affairs and they fought over things like money constantly. Until October 25, 1994, David received a call at work. He and Susan were separated by that point. It was Susan telling him that she had been carjacked and that the man had taken off with her car and their two boys in the backseat. For nine days, a massive search effort was launched, until early November when Susan admitted the terrifying truth. She had made the whole thing up, and had drowned their two precious baby boys.
