Introducing . . . My Mother's Lies!

Susan Galbreath wasn't a journalist or a con. She was a housewife in Mayfield, Kentucky.

But after a black teenager named Jessica Current is murdered in town, Susan takes it upon

herself to find witnesses who can point to a killer.

She was just wasting away till she jumped onto this and she thought this was going to be

her magic star and she was going to be a hero.

And that's not what happened.

I was learning in real time, the lies, there was a lot of lies.

What were Susan's real motives for trying to solve this murder?

She wasn't in it.

That was known that she was getting funds from them.

Susan's son is wrestling with his mother's legacy to this day.

To know that she possibly covered up a murder for somebody.

And perhaps the biggest question of all, did she help convict an innocent man?

I do feel like that they got the wrong beat.
