Oprah Winfrey interviews SC mom who killed kids

ORANGEBURG, S.C. (AP) — Talk show host Oprah Winfrey has come to South Carolina for a jailhouse interview with a mother who admitted suffocating her two children.

The Times and Democrat of Orangeburg (http://bit.ly/GWaJCA ) reports the talk show host landed at the city’s small airport Friday afternoon and took an SUV to the jail where 30-year-old Shaquan Duley is awaiting sentencing next week.

Winfrey interviewed Duley’s family in September 2010, a month after Duley killed her 2-year-old and 18-month-old sons, then tried to stage their deaths by driving her car into a river. Prosecutors say she killed the children after being badgered by her mother about being a poor parent.

Duley faces 30 years to life in prison when she is sentenced Friday.

There was no word on when Winfrey’s interview might air.
