In this episode of GBRLIFE Of Crimes, we peel back the silk-lined curtain on Sante Kimes—the social-climbing grifter who turned forgery into a family business… and murder into a twisted bond with her only child, Kenny. From penthouse impostor to modern-day Bonnie (with her own Clyde raised at her side), Sante’s life proves that the most dangerous disguise is a mother’s smile.
How does a woman obsessed with luxury coax her son into pulling the trigger—again and again?
Join me as we explore:
• The abandonment, poverty, and early scams that forged Sante’s chameleon identity.
• How marrying millionaire Kenneth Kimes Sr. super-charged her appetite for power.
• Kenny’s upbringing as “heir to the hustle”—and the psychology of maternal psychopathy.
• The enslavement case, the execution-style killing of David Kazdin, and the disappearance of Irene Silverman.
• Whether Sante Kimes was a cold-blooded puppet-master… or proof that evil can be inherited by nurture, not nature.
With every forged deed, she built an empire of lies. With every corpse, she signed it in blood. This isn’t just a story of greed—it’s a study of motherhood weaponized and morality for sale.
