Car Seat (God's Presents)

i remember the news story of Susan Smith killing her kids. i was only 14 at the time, but i recall the great amount publicity the case received and the outrage that most Americans had for Smith. indeed, this case seemed to spark much interest and thus media attention for cases where children may have been murdered by their own parents.

But the second verse of the song refers not to Susan Smith, who drowned her kids by driving her car into a lake with them trapped, but to a father, who apparently buried his children at or near a truckstop.
Any idea who these lines are referencing?

[On a side note, thinking about media and murderous parents instantly made me think of a case more recent, the disappearance and death of Caylee Anthony, who achieved an enormous amount of press coverage, throughout her disappearance, then throughout her mother, Casey Anothony's, murder trial. And even following the trial, there remains occasional interest in the case, which i believe is largely due to the public's confusion by the jury's conclusion that Casey was NOT guilty of murdering her 2-year old...after all, as soon as the missing girl became regular national news, the media blitzed Casey Anthony, practically finding her guilty in the public realm before she had even been arrested. i believe most people came to the conclusion of guilt as soon as they learned that the supposedly distressed and grief-stricken mother had, until the point of police involvement, been having a wonderful time partying at nightclubs and, perhaps worst of all, had the phrase "Beautiful Life" tattooed on herself. Whether she actually killed the child or not, i don't know. but after catching snippets of the story as it unfolded, i certainly assumed she was as guilty as anyone could be. it certainly didn't seem like she was behaving the way a "good" mother would. but i guess being a shitty mother isn't itself a crime. if it were, she would never have been released...but we'd also have to imprison all the millions of other shit moms...]
