Description
As always, thank you for hanging out and remembering Susan Lee Hutson with me today.
Rachel Hutson was just 19 years old when she carried out a shocking and calculated crime. Armed with a handgun she had taken from her father’s safe, Rachel shot and killed her mother, Susan Lee Hutson, inside the family home. Moments later, she took a photograph of Susan’s body and sent it to her father as a message.
Investigators said the killing was motivated by anger and resentment, and that Rachel showed little emotion in the hours that followed. She later confessed to the murder, and in court, prosecutors described the act as deliberate and cold-blooded. Rachel Hutson was ultimately convicted and sentenced to prison for her mother’s murder.
