In Charleston, South Carolina, Susan Diane Hendricks, 48, wanted her life insurance money. In order to get this money, she killed her two sons, Matthew, 23, and Marshall, 20, her ex-husband Mark Hendricks, 52, and her step mother Linda Burns, mid-60s and told the police that it was her son who killed them and then himself. Authorities found that her version of what happened was false based on observation of the scene, forensic evidence and interviews with the family. Susan killed her family with a handgun that she kept in her night stand. Susan had shot Doyle "Brian" Teague dead in 2006, and told the police that he had come in uninvited and threatened someone. Police had determined that it was self-defense. Evelyn Burns, Susan's sister, is the one who called that police saying that she was worried about her family that lived nearby. Police were told by family members that Susan's motive was life insurance money. Susan was the beneficiary of multiple life insurance policies taken out by the victims.
I can't even comprehend how this woman could raise her two children and have a loving family, and then kill them for life insurance money! I wonder if killing Doyle "Brian" Teague wasn't actually self-defense.
