m. to see the spot where Smith rolled her car into the water with her sons, 3-year-old Michael and 14-month-old Alex, still strapped inside late on Oct. 25, 1994. The group parked their blue Chevrolet Suburban on the boat ramp, with the car's headlights shining on two granite memorials etched with portraits of the Smith boys. Five adults got out of the car. Then the vehicle started to roll toward the water with the four kids and one adult still inside, said Mike Willis, a spokesman for the state Natural Resources Department. Tim Phillips, 28, and his 22-year-old wife, Angie whose children, Courtney, 4; Melena, 23 months, and 4-month-old Kinsleigh were in the car dived in to rescue their kids. But Phillips and his wife drowned as well. The Union County Sheriff's Department did not release the identities of the fourth child, the adult in the car or the three survivors. Divers located the bodies and helped drag the car from the bottom sludge. Long Lake is an isolated place, at the end of a dirt road off the rural two-lane highway. At night, it is pitch-dark. Once a popular fishing spot, its banks have become a memorial to Smith's sons. In the months after Smith was unmasked as a killer, people came from far and wide to place flowers or teddy bears at the water's edge and meditate on the gruesome crime. Residents said the stream of pilgrims has abated since Smith, 23, was sentenced to life in prison last summer. Her case touched the nation and made headlines around the world after she claimed a carjacker snatched Michael and Alex. She stuck to her story for nine days until the canny sheriff extracted a confession. Smith had been seeing the richest man in town until he broke up with her, saying he didn't want to rear another man's children.
