In the heart of New York City, a tale of crime unraveled when Irene Silverman vanished. Irene's suspicious tenant turned out to be Kenneth Kimes, not just any tenant, but a son in a wild criminal duo with his mother, Sante. Yearning for a normal life and knowing better now, Kenneth, at 49 and behind bars, looks back at his turbulent journey.

Kenneth’s life wasn't ordinary; it was filled with his mother's antics. They moved from place to place, a nomadic life fueled by Sante’s schemes. When Kenneth was young, it was a secret life on the run, dodging the law. His dad tried to keep him grounded, but after his dad’s death, Sante reeled Kenneth into her criminal world.

Their crimes spanned cities – from Los Angeles to New York, leaving a trail of fraud and violence. Kenneth, driven by fear and a twisted sense of family loyalty, joined his mother's exploits. Irene Silverman, a socialite living alone, became their target.

After Irene vanished, clues pointed to the Kimes. Guns, wigs, and forged documents were found in their green Lincoln Town Car. Kenneth and Sante were arrested, and the dark history they’d been fleeing caught up with them.

While behind bars, Kenneth confessed to crimes to spare his mother the death penalty. He mentioned plans to steal Irene’s fortune and revealed chilling details about Irene's fate.

Now, Kenneth reflects on his mom while serving time. He also thinks about the families of their victims, hoping they find peace, and shares his regret. Despite everything, Kenneth still can’t bring himself to hate his mother, showing a complex web of love and crime.
