Susan Smith has asked a parole board in South Carolina for her freedom for the first time.

Alfred Rowe was a guard at Leath Correctional Institution in Greenwood, South Carolina, when he met Smith. Her name faded from the headlines until the early 2000s, when Rowe and another guard were fired for having inappropriate relationships with Smith. Rowe said he only had one sexual encounter with Smith, but the relationship led him to losing his job and pension. Smith is eligible for parole in five years, and when asked if she should be let out, Rowe said, no."
