No mother is evil in the eyes of her child:( She should have been sentenced for ruining her son childhood and make him a criminal, as well !

Talk about evil. 😳. Predator doesn’t even begin to describe her.

Too many parents using kids as human shields.

With all her connections and her late husband’s means she could had a golden opportunity to pursue an honest and successful route.

[@judywright4241]

I read a book about this crime and boy, they were SO weird. Oldest son was a straight arrow, young son & mom as twisted as anything I’d ever read about. A vain ‘Ma Barker’

[@SSNESS]

She’s a Gypsie

[@avi10000]

A very talented lady. Psychopath. Won't stop at anything. I know a woman like that. But she didn't kill anybody yet, afaik.

[@hopeful8975]

Reminds me of Lori Vallow who is in jail now. She could put almost any man under her spell. Had her brother do her dirty work for her and then killed him. She had that brother kill her ex husband and two children a seventeen year old and seven year old autistic adoptive son. She can convince people of almost anything. A true narcissist…it’s always poor her.

I feel sorry for Kent Walker. I remember a made-for-tv movie about this case starring Mary Tyler Moore and Dale Midkiff.

[@sheryldalton8965]

That was a good movie. The Grifters with Angelica Huston & John Cusack was loosely based on them.

[@tyo8754]

@@sheryldalton8965 no it wasn’t. The Grifters came out in 1990. No one knew who they were then.

It was *Gabriel Olds* who played *Kenny Kimes.* Also, *Jean Stapleton* ('Edith Bunker' in _All in the Family)_ played *Irene Silverman.*

[@TheMikelikus]

there was a movie made for tv released where Sante was played by actress Mary Tyler Moore. In the movie they indicated that mother and son were sexually involved??? This duo committed murder and fraud, together they were dangerous and always scheming.

[@donkatoakathemethwhisperer6675]

What's crazy is that she could have had wealth several times over. But her overspending and grand life style just ate up money. It wasn't the lack of funds, it was the greed.

[@RuminatingWizard]

What does having "wealth" several times over mean? That's like having water several times over.

[@tecraman8100]

@@RuminatingWizard you do need water several times over, otherwise we'd die of dehydration! Also what he meant by "having wealth several times over" is she had several chances to earn money legitimately and stop going further down the road of a criminal lifestyle.

This case is not the only case I see when dangerous people were left out and about for wayyyyy tooo long ! While others who might not be guilty or less guilty die in jail for nothing.i mean if u look at trail they left behind time and time again and still they were free ! She was in jail so many times and was also on suspicion on other crimes and she was still free 🤷‍♀️..this is the justice for ya

[@lotuspocus76312]

I bet a tarot reader in here studied the history of that woman carefully.

[@eddie-xi6ls]

At 25:16 the narrator states that after Ken's passing eventually the money was depleted. Possibly partially right but Santee was completely left out of the wiii. Ken's two older children from a previous marriage inhereted his estate. She did spend Ken's liquid assets and after these funds were gone she was left high and dry.

[@CALLMESIR...]

As her friend, i NEVER would have let her stay in that house alone with people she wasnt comfortable with. Id have insisted and id have called the police. My God, that poor woman. And she,ll be in a land fill with garbage for eternity. I often wondered if police ever tried using dogs to locate her.
