Child killer Susan Smith exchanges flirty messages with at least six men in prison serving life sentences for the murder of her two sons.
The South Carolina mother corresponded with the men behind bars at Leath Correctional Institution in Greenwood.
One of her lovers has even created a fictional version of their life together in the game The Sims, naming a child Michael in tribute to one of the sons she drowned.
Meanwhile, several people have offered her a place to stay after she is released ahead of an upcoming parole hearing in November 2024.
It comes after numerous prison offenses for sex, drugs and self-harm.

The cold-hearted killer’s family were not surprised by her love life, which they described as ‘messy’.
‘That’s Susan for you. She has always had a messy love life. Some things do not change. But she seems to be happy,” a family member said The messenger.
The outlet also obtained exchanges between Smith and a man who refers to her by the nickname “Pookie.”
“Dearest Pookie,” he wrote on August 13, “I have been thinking of you and missing you sooooo much. I hope I can do something for you soon… I love you so much it hurts, Your Pookie.”
The suitor, who has set up a fake life in the Sims, is a 60-year-old pilot.

A shrine was erected on the shore of John D. Long Lake where Smith’s sons, who claimed they had been kidnapped, were drowned.
‘She is a good person who did something terrible when she was young and not in her right mind. People can change.’
Another didn’t mind being one of many suitors.
“I don’t judge her,” he said: “She is free to talk to whoever she wants. I love her and want her to be happy.”
Smith is one of the most infamous murderers in South Carolina due to the gruesome crime she committed at the age of 22.
She was convicted of murdering three-year-old Michael and fourteen-month-old Alex after a man she had an affair with said he did not want children.
The Smith boys disappeared on October 25, 1994.
That day, she told officers they had been taken by an unknown black man during a carjacking and cried on national television as she and her husband David begged for their safe return.
But her story quickly unraveled and she was forced to admit that she tied her children in the back of her car and let them roll into a lake.
It was claimed she committed the heartless crime after a man she was having an affair with left her claiming he didn’t want children.

Smith was sentenced to life in prison for two murders, but remained in trouble behind bars, receiving at least five misdemeanors for charges including self-harm and the use and possession of narcotics or marijuana.
Smith was punished twice in 2010 and once in 2015 after being caught with marijuana and narcotics.
She was initially incarcerated in Columbia, but had to be transferred to Leath after several sex scandals.
In 2000, at the age of 28, she was punished for having sex four times with 50-year-old prison guard Houston Cagle – who was later jailed for three months for the affair.
Smith confessed to the sexual encounter with Cagle after testing positive for an STD.
The following year, prison captain Alfred Rowe was found to have had sex with her and was sentenced to five years’ probation.
Former cellmate Stephanie Hulsey said that in addition to her male lovers, Smith also had a girlfriend.
Smith insists she is “not the monster society thinks I am” and revealed to reporters in 2015 that she had planned to kill herself, and not her sons, on the night of the tragedy.
Smith is led from the Union County Courthouse after the first day of testimony in the penalty phase of her trial. Smith was convicted of murdering her sons on October 25, 1994
“I was going to kill myself first and leave a note saying what happened,” Smith said. “I didn’t believe I could face my family when the truth came out.”
She also refuted claims that she had hurt her children by being with a man as “so far from the truth.”
In 2012, she attempted suicide at the age of 40 after smuggling in a razor blade.
Smith is due to face a parole hearing in November 2024, during which she will request a parole hearing, something her former husband David Smith is against.
