#306: Honor Roll Student Kills Mom With ...

STEPHANIE SOO
About this episode

Every college student has their secrets - but Sydney’s was that she was no longer in college. She had been suspended but hadn’t told a single person. She stayed in her dorm, pretended to go to class, studied with friends in the library, even attended sorority meetings. 

She was living a lie - and it was all about to come crashing down because her mom was on the phone with her school. She was about to discover the truth and all the lies Sydney had told. 

Sydney grabbed a heavy cast iron skillet & steak knife… her murder weapons. She would murder her mom, and her family would stand behind her. Was Sydney legally insane at the time of the killing? Or was she willing to do anything to keep her secret - secret?
