"If you’re into #truecrime, this was an interesting case. I thought I knew the Susan Powell story, but I realized I had confused her with Susan Smith, the South Carolina mother convicted 30 years ago of drowning her two little boys in a lake. Susan Powell, however, was ALSO a mother of two little boys—but in HER case, she was the victim.
This #Hulu documentary examines Susan’s troubled marriage to Josh Powell and the unsettling dynamics of his childhood home that raised red flags. Investigators meticulously piece together her life and final days, uncovering shocking revelations and deeply disturbing twists in the story.
