About this listen

A hotel pool. A father asleep on the steps. A three-year-old drifting silently into the deep end.

By the time anyone realized what was happening, it was already too late. A housekeeper’s desperate screams, frantic attempts to resuscitate, and a shocking refusal to help—all caught the attention of investigators who would later uncover a disturbing history behind the man who was supposed to protect his son.

This week we cover the case of K.S., a toddler whose final moments were spent fighting for life in a Florida hotel pool while his father, Sharef Omar Smith, slept just feet away.
