0:49the case of Diane Downs
0:54okay I'm going to start talking a little
0:56bit about the person who's Central in
0:58this case who is Diane Downs she was
1:01born on August 7 of 1955 in Phoenix
1:05Arizona under the name of Elizabeth
1:07Diane Frederickson this is her maiden
1:10name I'm going to tell you more about
1:12this later when she gets her last name
1:14downs and that's how she's known until
1:16now her father was Wesley and then and
1:19her mother was Willie James Fred
1:21Erickson it is said that her childhood
1:23wasn't as normal as it thought on many
1:26occasions and not similar to most people
1:29it seemed that when she was 12 years old
1:32her father started to abuse her and
1:35everything happened behind the closed
1:37doors let's say that nobody talked about
1:39that but they presented the picture of a
1:41safe United and beautiful family when in
1:45reality all those things were happening
1:47inside their home she went to the Moon
1:49Valley High School it was her school her
1:52High School however she always felt
1:55attracted to feeling or seeming older
1:58than she was by that time in 1960 people
2:02say that she started to dress herself as
2:04she was older than she was and she also
2:07started to feel attracted to and seek
2:10older men in high school she also meets
2:14a man called sip downs and that's where
2:17her married last name come from he kind
2:19of became the love of her life
2:21nonetheless she decides or well her
2:24family decides to take her to a Baptist
2:26school called Pacific Coast Baptist
2:30Bible College which was like an
2:32University but handled by all that
2:35branch of a religious Baptist school all
2:38this happened in Orange California I
2:41mean she moved from Phoenix where she
2:42lived originally to go there to Orange
2:44that obviously kept her apart from her
2:47partner from Steve but let's say that
2:49they kept that love intact that's what
2:51they wanted however eventually the girl
2:54was expelled from this school for her
2:57bad behavior but that behavior wasn't
3:01like she was doing badly in classes that
3:03she didn't show up for them or she was
3:05being rude no not at all she had a
3:07promiscuous Behavior towards many people
3:10which was denounced by her classmates
3:12and professors and she ended up expelled
3:15which forced her to go back to Arizona
3:17with her parents at the same time her
3:20partner well Steve was also enlisting
3:23for the U.S Navy and he went to serve
3:26with them for a while by 1973 both of
3:30them were in a stage of life where they
3:32could be together so they decide to get
3:34married on the 3rd of November of that
3:37year and started life together as an
3:39independent couple he was back from the
3:41navi and she kept trying to find other
3:44ways of studying and go ahead after she
3:47was expelled from school but there's
3:49when things started to fail a little bit
3:51many people also think that they were
3:53too young and they start having problems
3:56and the biggest problems of this
3:58relationship were mainly two one of them
4:02was the financial aspect because of
4:04everything I've told you and the second
4:06one was the infidelities and you and I
4:09think this is a very common conception
4:11you may think it was the husband's
4:13faults because of many beliefs we have
4:15due to this Society but this wasn't the
4:17case actually all DM fidelities and all
4:21the problems were on Diane's side but
4:24let's say they kept going like that with
4:26that mute pain so to call it and that's
4:28when they start having their children
4:30and they had three kids after the first
4:33year they were married the first one
4:35called Christine Anne was born in 1974
4:38the second of them was Cheryl Lynn their
4:41second daughter born in 1976 and the
4:45last one was a song called Steven Daniel
4:47born in
4:491979. what happened Diane also became
4:53sort of at attached mother even in the
4:55year which her first daughter was born
4:57Christine Anne she decided to enlist in
5:00the Navy just as her husband had done
5:02and she abandoned them for some months
5:04she also tried to leave to distance
5:06herself from everything and the whole
5:08topic of infidelities so Steve took care
5:11of their daughter however only three
5:13weeks passed until Diane came back from
5:16the navi basically because she said she
5:19had many injuries that they didn't take
5:21care of and that she was feeling poorly
5:22which was in truth it simply seems like
5:24she got bored of that life and decided
5:27to go back to her reality what happened
5:29also before they had their last son
5:31during that time of so many fights
5:33things that happened and the opinions
5:35she had her husband Steve decided to
5:38have a vasectomy according to Diane's
5:40version the vasectomy didn't work and
5:43that's when they had their third son
5:44Stephen however the man knew it had
5:47worked that the procedure was done
5:49correctly and that there was no way that
5:51they could have had that last Sun so
5:53that's when when he started suspecting
5:55that his son Stephen Daniel was not
5:57really his but the product of some other
6:00infidelity she had with other men they
6:03keep fighting a lot Stephen was tired of
6:05the situation and the infidelities and
6:08also the fact that they often times she
6:10used those pregnancies to get what she
6:12wanted it was like she wanted to have
6:15children for that so people could see
6:17her differently so they respect her a
6:19little she wasn't really interested in
6:22taking care of her children keep them
6:23safe and calm incapable of fixing
6:26everything that was happening they
6:28decide to get a divorce in 1980.
6:31obviously many argued that it was a
6:33marriage done at a very young age
6:35without love that they had many problems
6:38and people even say that seep was also
6:40very irresponsible that he really liked
6:43gambling or going to casinos and stuff
6:45like that and he was very immature to
6:47take care of his children so I think the
6:49fathers on both sides but waiting more
6:51when taking that decision was Diane
6:53added to it and everything she did
6:55within the relationship after all this
6:58happened Diane became even more detached
7:00she became even more negligent to their
7:02kids sometimes she forgot to feed them
7:04give them studies well a bunch of things
7:07that they were Basics and obviously the
7:09husband didn't like well the ex-husband
7:11didn't have the kids custody so they
7:13didn't pay attention to them what
7:15happened for her it became more of a
7:17priority to flirt with men to go out
7:19with them than to take care of her own
7:21kids by this time she also tried to by
7:24this time she was like 25 years old but
7:27she tried to became a surrogate mother
7:29she wanted to rent her womb to have
7:31children because she had also heard
7:33about the money she could get in
7:35exchange for doing that so she tried
7:38that a couple of times but she failed
7:40because she didn't pass some
7:42psychological tests that I required for
7:44let's say it go through with this
7:46process even so at some point she was
7:49able to have a fourth child being a
7:51surrogate mother selling the child for
7:5310 ten thousand dollars they say the
7:56daughter was called Jennifer but after
7:58that it wasn't known which was her true
8:00identity by that time her daughter's
8:03grandparents said that she the oldest
8:06daughter she started telling them that
8:08she was afraid of her own mother maybe
8:11that kind of negligence that same
8:14attitude towards Sam made her own kid
8:16sister to say it without anyone knowing
8:19that they were afraid of her own mother
8:21the children constantly look
8:23malnourished very wrecked and even the
8:25grandparents tried to take care of them
8:28but it wasn't the same often the oldest
8:31daughter was left in charge of the other
8:34siblings when they were only five or six
8:36years old in 1981 one year after she
8:40officially ended her marriage because of
8:43work she meets a man called Robert
8:46people call him Nick
8:48Knickerbocker which was his last name
8:51I've never heard it before but he was
8:53based basically a man who helped her in
8:55work-related stuff she had in that
8:58moment so Beckham said she had found so
9:00he became kind of a co-worker for her
9:02but Diane started falling profoundly in
9:04love with him he was a knowledgeable man
9:07and he had everything he was like it was
9:10very handsome well a lot of things
9:12started attracting her however he was
9:16married but he also on some occasions
9:19had some affairs with Diane you can
9:21imagine but in one of these Affairs he
9:24said that for him Diane children were
9:26like an obstacle for he say to her look
9:28I don't want to have children in my life
9:30I don't have children we don't have
9:32children with my wife because precisely
9:34for me they're like an obstacle and I
9:36rather not have them so this caused um
9:39Diane to be very very sad for she was
9:42very obsessed and in love with this man
9:45people also say that by this time when
9:48she was really obsessed with him she
9:50wrote him Letters Daily explaining and
9:52telling him things they even say that
9:54she received some letters from him in
9:57which he promised her he will leave his
10:00wife for her but later on we will talk
10:02more about this topic because it's
10:04really important to do so and I wanted
10:06you to know a little bit about this
10:08girl's life background so we can dive
10:12deeply into what happens in this case it
10:15was April of 1983 and Diane got a new
10:18job in Springfield in Oregon it was a
10:22job as an employee for a post service
10:25office or well postal stuff she was
10:28comfortable there but not so happy for
10:31she had left the place where she was
10:33close to Robert who was like her great
10:35new Love and the person she was obsessed
10:37with it came a day which was May 19 of
10:421983. she thought she wanted to go back
10:45to the place where Robert was but she
10:48had to do something like some errands so
10:51to speak before she could arrange the
10:53paperwork to go back she was going to
10:56visit a friend of hers that live in that
10:59City to talk for a while she goes with
11:02her kids and around 9 30 PM she goes
11:05back using a road that's not very
11:07crowded called old Mohawk Road this is a
11:10brutal road which she could use to go
11:13home but there were many cars she
11:15decides to take that road at that hour
11:17because she thinks it's the fastest way
11:18to go home everything that I'm telling
11:20you it's like her version of what
11:22happened so we can discover step by step
11:25what happened she said her kids were
11:28asleep that everything was calm and in
11:31silence she was playing music and she
11:33even perfectly remembers the song that
11:35was playing in that moment called Hungry
11:38Like the Wolf or something like that
11:40which was supposedly a song that was
11:42very popular in that time she perfectly
11:44remembers how that song was playing on
11:45the radio suddenly she sees that there's
11:47a man standing in the road like asking
11:49for help in this road where he was
11:52standing there was like a river on one
11:54side and like a grass terrain without
11:56anything else on the other she tries to
11:59ask like she rolls down the window and
12:01says like well what do you need but then
12:04this man points a gun at her and tells
12:07her to surrender the car basically he's
12:09obviously trying to rob her she says
12:12that they begin to struggle and in that
12:15moment she apparently steps out of the
12:17car keeps struggling with him so he can
12:20take the car but the man shuts her in
12:23the left arm with quite a name what she
12:26does is try to throw the keys so he
12:28doesn't attack her anymore and so he can
12:31take the car and the kids while that's
12:33happening she says the man gets closer
12:35from outside the car to the window and
12:38shots every single one of the kids she
12:41says she doesn't know where she found
12:43the strained to pitch the man far away
12:45from the car then she opens the door a
12:48step in and accelerates like crazy so
12:50she can get fast into the hospital she
12:53obviously tell all this so that people
12:54understand what just happened why the
12:57kids are like that let's say that one of
12:59the saddest and most delicate things is
13:02that Cheryl the middle daughter arrives
13:05to the hospital and she's dead she's the
13:07only one that's dead and there's no way
13:10they can bring her back but her siblings
13:13her older sister has a gunshot very
13:16close to the skull which starts to limit
13:19her so they put her in an induced coma
13:21her son is obviously paralyzed from the
13:24legs down but anyway obviously everybody
13:27talks about it they say what a great
13:30tragedy imagine a man who is going to
13:32steal your cards and end up killing your
13:35children well some of your children
13:37leaving the rest Gravely endured and
13:40yourself where she had her arm
13:42completely injured that was the moment
13:45when the investigation obviously started
13:47interviews were done she talked again
13:49about all the facts to really understand
13:52the and started looking for the culprit
13:55of this because she said she hadn't as
13:57lightest idea of who could it be but
13:59what happened some particular things
14:02started happened and the people began
14:04doubting about what happened that night
14:07one of the first things that they start
14:10noticing is that the mother is not
14:12distraught I mean the mother is in a
14:14state she should be in complete shock
14:16crying not being able to process talk I
14:19don't know but she's completely normal
14:21there is even a moment in when she
14:24worries more about how the card ended up
14:26she say like this ruined my card instead
14:29of really think about her children she
14:31starts giving versions in different TV
14:33shows interviews begin being done to her
14:36because all of this were months and
14:38months of Investigations she goes to
14:39Oprah and says that they were like up 30
14:42witnesses that day which is not true
14:44because nobody saw that person there's a
14:48clip also for a TV show which I think
14:50it's one of the strangers I'm going to
14:53show it to you obviously and it is
14:55basically when they ask her to tell her
14:57to recreate after several weeks of the
14:59tragedy happening to recreate what
15:01happened that day here is like
15:03especially notorious and people notice
15:05that she's in a very particular attitude
15:07she's laughing like showing off herself
15:11there's even a moment in which she mocks
15:14herself for hitting her cast and in
15:16other moments she says like this is
15:18almost the same as that moment in which
15:20and many things she was going to finish
15:23that sentence saying shot myself this
15:26interview it's very particular because
15:28it's like friend you just lost your
15:31daughter and the other two are critical
15:34which is there like nothing happened
15:36recreating laughing everything is very
15:39odd there's another interview too I'm
15:41showing it to you here in which she even
15:43gets upset because people are doubting
15:45her I wouldn't walk in there and say
15:46this weird person came about an hour and
15:49shot us for no reason and just left I
15:51mean that's not a believable story I
15:53could have if I had done this I could
15:55have come up with a believable story it
15:57really happened after when they did an
15:59exhaustive investigation of the crime
16:01scene and everything there were some
16:03gunshots and like certain blood
16:05splatters that didn't match the version
16:07she was giving for the attackers
16:09supposedly shot her from outside so they
16:12shouldn't be certain blood splatter in
16:14some areas she supposedly chopped them
16:16from one side and not from the other so
16:19they were things that were matching at
16:21some point she according to the
16:23hospital's version entered her daughter
16:25room to see her and she obviously
16:28couldn't talk because there was an after
16:30effect from The Gunshot but they say
16:32that the daughter's heart rate started
16:34spiking like crazy also after several
16:37months and so much pressure they
16:39obviously interrogate her more they even
16:41submitted her to a 16-hour interrogation
16:43the kind ones that I used to discover
16:45the truth but she was unable to say
16:47anything she simply got really upset and
16:50say some things she hadn't said before
16:52there she he started to say that
16:54apparently she knew the person who shot
16:56her kids and obviously the cops said
16:59like well if you know who he was tell us
17:01tell us because that could be a key
17:03piece of information for this
17:04investigation and the only thing she did
17:06was get upset much more upset she even
17:08in that recording leaves the place you
17:10do know who did yes I do I damn sure do
17:13you know him by name
17:16yep it's pretty important and I saw him
17:19grab my arm and yank my arm out and
17:22shoot my arm and said now try to get
17:23away with it
17:25and I'm leaving because I know who did
17:27it bye
17:29it's now 17. 46
17:34band is just Departed the office we're
17:37concluding the paper during one
17:39investigation she also confessed she
17:41didn't have any gun that the culprit
17:43couldn't beat her for that reason but it
17:45was completely false for the police
17:47ended up finding inside her Comic-Con
17:49again that perfectly matched they want
17:52to use the night of that crime besides
17:55her ex-husband and her new love who she
17:58was obsessed with confirmed this
18:00information they also found the letters
18:02and the diary which were full of
18:04references and messages to Robert her
18:07new love about her complete Obsession
18:09she even talked about him not wanting
18:11kids and how she could make that not a
18:13problem between the both of them there
18:15was also a very important testimony from
18:18a man who said that he saw her driving
18:20towards to the hospital that night that
18:23her kids were supposedly shot but he say
18:26that contrary to what she had said that
18:28she had gone full speed he said that she
18:30was going painfully slow that he even
18:33was behind her and his speed matter
18:35almost didn't raise because of how slow
18:37they were going he even said that he
18:40hung and had to surpass her because she
18:43was going too slow after that Robert
18:46started talking as a witness to all of
18:48this and he said that indeed that woman
18:50was starting to get obsessed with him
18:52that even on some occasion she
18:54threatened him and his wife if she
18:56couldn't be with him he also said that
18:58he was very glad she had moved to Oregon
19:00so he could build his home again and
19:03stay away from that tragedy what
19:05happened there were many proven reasons
19:07to suspect the woman and there was how
19:10on February 28 of 1984 nine months after
19:14the tragedy she finally is a wrestler
19:17for being a prime suspect what happened
19:20let's say that the easiest way they
19:22found to prove this was the following
19:24her daughter started waking up from the
19:27comma evidently she wasn't able to speak
19:30and started a treatment with a
19:32psychiatrist and everything so she could
19:33get better her psychiatrists asked her
19:36for something very particular and told
19:38her to write the name of the person who
19:40attacked her that night and throw it
19:42into the fire he told her that only when
19:45she felt ready to please hand him the
19:46piece of paper they say this therapy
19:49lasted for some weeks or months and she
19:51always burned the paper until one day
19:53she finally gave it to the therapist and
19:56in the paper the girl had written my mom
19:59that's how everyone suspicious is
20:02confirmed basically Diane shot her kids
20:06that night and I know it's terrible
20:09friends and well basically let's say
20:11that this is a very tragic case and I'm
20:13going to tell you broadly about the
20:15conditions behind this case her daughter
20:18Christine received a gunshot that cost
20:20her a stroke and that's why she ended up
20:23not being able to speak among many other
20:26things her brother Danny who was three
20:28years old in that moment ended up
20:30completely paralyzed from the legs down
20:32later on Christine complete recollection
20:35of what happened is revealed from
20:37Christine who is the one who tells
20:39everything that happened that night what
20:42really happened was that her mom around
20:449 30 PM was driving down a very
20:46desolated Road there was absolutely
20:48nobody close by what I told you there
20:51was a river on one side in a Great
20:53Meadow like one of those big areas in
20:56which there is practically nothing
20:58around 10 she suddenly stops in the
21:01middle of the road everybody is a little
21:03sleepy like they don't know what's
21:04happening she steps out tells them she
21:06had to take something out from the car
21:08trunk and then she opens it that's when
21:11she takes their gun and aims at her
21:13daughter who was the one in the front
21:15seat the other two were obviously in a
21:18very nervous State and one of the girls
21:20tried to get out she's the one that gets
21:23shot twice and then shots her son I
21:26think that according to what I
21:28understand the order was the daughter in
21:31the front who was the one that died the
21:33ones in the back first the Sun and
21:35lastly the daughter who was the one that
21:37revealed what just happened and I know
21:39she remembers in that moment how she saw
21:41her mother shutting herself in the arm
21:44after she turned on the card again rub
21:47her arm in a towel and start going
21:49forward as I say the woman was indeed
21:51driving very slowly they discovered she
21:55did that because she basically wanted
21:57her kids to die from bloodlust on the
22:00way so there wasn't any absolute chance
22:03of save them let's say that they
22:05basically did some tests on the end and
22:08thanks to that they found that she had
22:10some early signs of psychosis and what
22:12led her to do it basically as I've told
22:15you in the moment he was completely
22:16obsessed with a man called Robert who
22:19had told her that she had kids and for
22:22that reason he didn't want to be
22:24involved because he never wanted kids
22:26this led the woman to a state of
22:28craziness in which to say like well
22:30what's the easiest thing if he doesn't
22:32want kids basically get rid of my own
22:34children and then is when she decided
22:36and she obviously planted this
22:38beforehand to murder them and removed
22:41them from her pet to this man obviously
22:44many other things proved her guilt how
22:47she was changed her versions the way in
22:49which she handled the situation there's
22:52a very particular interview in which she
22:54talks a lot about this in which she say
22:56she regret it or that she simply there's
22:59a very shocking part in which she says
23:01she remembers how the blood flowed from
23:03her daughter's mouth and after she says
23:05this she Simply Smiles I mean like she
23:08laughs and like what a psycho woman I
23:10mean it's an absolutely horrific
23:12attitude in which she remembers and to
23:14start imagining her kids but they're
23:16sending a trace of something that really
23:18affects her from this situation in this
23:21interview it is also very interesting
23:23that she talks about the case but she
23:25talks she started to talk about the
23:27situation or about what she lived in her
23:29childhood she begins telling how her
23:31father abuse her and everything is
23:32centered on her I saw like some analysis
23:35and very interesting things and it's
23:37like this woman ends up turning the
23:39interview in something that only has to
23:40do with her namely she doesn't give
23:42importance to the kids in that moment
23:44which is obviously speaks of a
23:47narcissistic and Psychopathic
23:48personality obviously after her daughter
23:51confess what happened she doesn't have
23:53any way of escaping so she's captured as
23:56I told you on June 17 of 1984 and her
24:00sentence begins thanks to everything
24:02that they had the proof besides the
24:05blood splatter that didn't match the
24:06version it was proven that she herself
24:09had fired and that she used her own gun
24:12among other things she is sentenced to
24:15serve life without the possibility of
24:17parole until after 25 years of her
24:20sentence among the studies that were
24:22done to the woman they discovered a
24:25histrionic and narcissist personality
24:28and his social disorder and psychopathy
24:31she was initially on the stage of Salem
24:35she was sentenced there and they gave
24:37her life imprisonment in jail called
24:39woman's Correctional Center from Oregon
24:42however on July 11 of 1987 three years
24:46after she's been in that jail she tries
24:49to escape by climbing a five matter tall
24:51Barber wire she wore special clothes so
24:54that didn't hurt her skin or didn't harm
24:56herself and the worst is that she'd
24:58succeed she indeed skips friction and at
25:01that time goes to the house of her
25:04salesmaid husband who was the man called
25:07Wayne safer she basically made him
25:09because of her self-made who told her
25:11everything about him and she knew he
25:14lived close by so she decided to go to
25:17his house and the man don't ask me why
25:20surprisingly received her too they say
25:22she even had it sexual intercourse with
25:24him during her stay in that man house
25:27obviously this was a man who in that
25:29moment didn't have a very good life he
25:31didn't have a job he also was addicted
25:34to different kinds of substances and
25:37basically live day by day by this time
25:39the investigators also began to think
25:41where she could be they started to go
25:43through the things she had to try to see
25:45how she escaped and they found a monk
25:47like that a map of the city she had they
25:49try to understand where she could have
25:51gone I don't know if you know but
25:52sometimes one writes on top of the other
25:54sheets of paper and leaves a mark on the
25:57bottom sheet of what was written on the
25:59one on the top so they discovered that
26:01was happening so they began scratching
26:04it with a pen the possible Clues inside
26:06the map and they discovered she had
26:09drawn a line to this man house so they
26:13say like well we don't know what's there
26:15but let's investigate and that's when
26:17they finally found Diane who was hiding
26:20in that place they say that when they
26:22arrived that day she tried to take like
26:24a compressed air gun something like that
26:26and start threatening them with their
26:29committing suicide however thanks to the
26:31good work of the police they were able
26:32to avoid the situation and make her
26:34surrender and they kept her hurt again
26:36the man ended up having five years of
26:39parole for this situation and she got
26:42five years added to her sentence for
26:45having escaped however with all this
26:47happened and because eventually they
26:50didn't trust much in her they decided to
26:52move her in 1994 10 years after being
26:55convicted to the California Department
26:57of Corrections and Rehabilitation in
27:002010 she was moved again to the Valley
27:03State Prison for a woman also in
27:07California they say that during her
27:09stayed in prison she obtained a degree
27:12in General Studies she supposedly had
27:16according to the law of the conditions
27:18of her conviction until 2009 to peel her
27:22Parole in 2008 she started presenting
27:25this appeal however the crazy things was
27:28that she continued with the same version
27:30all the time she said that she had been
27:32attacked that it was a man she never
27:34changed her version since then she keeps
27:37bleeding completely innocent and since
27:39then her parole has been denied they say
27:42she presented an appeal again in 2010
27:45which was denied and in 2020 she
27:47presented another one that was also
27:49denied which is great because this woman
27:52is really crazy what happened something
27:55really interesting happened during her
27:58conviction as soon as she is apprehended
28:00as you could see in the pictures I kind
28:02of escaped this part but I was going to
28:04mention it later well basically when she
28:06is apprehended and convicted as you
28:08could see she was pregnant yes indeed
28:11she was pregnant with her fifth child
28:13three of them were ones I told you about
28:15the ones she tried to murdered the other
28:18one was the wall she sold and this last
28:21one this baby whose father is unknown
28:24the father of this girl who ended up
28:26being a girl but almost everyone thought
28:28she got pregnant with the goal of making
28:30people see her with tenderness and make
28:33them be more patient efficient and
28:35clearly try to be less harsh with her
28:38she even says that on that interview I'm
28:41also going to show you that part which
28:43is awful and Shameless but she say that
28:46she basically misses her kid so much
28:48that she's hurting a lot but she says
28:50she likes getting pregnant because it's
28:51very easy to conceive a child and I
28:53think my God this is insane in the end
28:56she had The New Daughter however they I
28:59don't know how the department in charge
29:00of kids is called there however let's
29:03say it's Child Services [ __ ] the child
29:05away from her and gave her for adoption
29:08to a couple who call her Becky they say
29:11that Becky always knew she was adopted
29:13but her parents never told her who her
29:15mother was obviously she as she was
29:18growing up started having that interest
29:20for knowing who her mother was and I
29:22think I understand her it's normal to
29:24have curiosity they say that in that
29:26moment she tricked The Nanny she had to
29:28make her believe she knew who her mother
29:30was obtaining her name in that way given
29:33that The Nanny Fine finally told her the
29:35mother name without knowing she didn't
29:36know it when Becky decides to go to a
29:39library there found the book written
29:41about Diane Downs the book is called a
29:43small sacrifices and it was by an author
29:46who made her job to write absolutely
29:48everything about the case and she founds
29:51out who her mom was she says even that
29:53she saw a TV special about her mom and
29:56that hit her very very hard what
29:58happened finding out about this reality
30:00made her go to the dark hole of
30:02addictions she ended up consuming drugs
30:05during a long time and she also got
30:07pregnant when she was 17 years old
30:09sometime later she had her second son
30:12but this time she decided to start
30:14changing the perspective she had of her
30:16mom so to speak and begin contacting her
30:18but that time she also started to
30:21realize that Diane had some really
30:24serious problems she began talking about
30:26conspirences didn't accept what she had
30:29done to her brothers told her the most
30:32odd and irrational thing things and
30:34that's when Becky decided to cut
30:36completely the relationship she had with
30:38her and never contact her again for that
30:41she also decided to get better obviously
30:44leave her addictions behind and start
30:46talking more about the light about her
30:48story here I am showing you the images
30:50so you can see her and I'm really glad
30:52she really decided to take another path
30:55obviously you must be asking yourself
30:57like well what happened to the siblings
30:59well Christine and Danny who were the
31:02ones who survived I feel like this is
31:04very nice but they were adopted by the
31:06judge that led the case well actually is
31:09the persecutor of Diane's case they
31:12didn't give them to their father because
31:13you can say well they could have given
31:15them to him but as you know the father
31:17was quite immature he was very
31:19responsible and also had many problems
31:21so they decided not to give it to him
31:23and the prosecutor was the one who
31:25decided to adopt him as his children
31:27since then they say he has given them a
31:29calm and marvelous life in which they
31:31don't know anything else about their mom
31:33and they can keep working working on
31:34their aftermath they say that Dan is
31:36still paralyzed but he became an I.T
31:38genius that he's living a normal happy
31:41and calm life regarding Christine they
31:44say she's already married and had a baby
31:46she has also been able to regain the
31:48ability to talk both have had very
31:50private life we don't know how they look
31:53how they are what they are up to and I
31:55understand them I will also want to
31:57forget all the past and that people
31:59didn't recognize me because of that and
32:01regarding the pop culture there's what
32:03I've told you about the small sacrifices
32:05book written by Anne rule in 1987 that
32:09tells this complete story that even say
32:11that there's a movie with the same name
32:13sorted by pharah Fawcett which is also
32:16revolves around this case to tell you
32:18the truth this case is very interesting
32:20for me also very sad but I'm very
32:23grateful that the kids arrived because
32:25if not I don't think they would have
32:27caught her that easily but I find it
32:29very sad let's say that Destiny or what
32:32they had to pay for This Woman's
32:33decision a woman who was clearly crazy
32:36to ranged something was missing from her
32:39mind so she could rationalize better but
32:41anyway and and in the end at least there
32:44was actually Justice she's still in jail
32:46and it's looking very old she's already
32:49very age and I really don't think she's
32:51going to leave that place alive to be
32:53honest well let me know what you think
32:56about this case if you like it a lot
