She Shot Her Three Kids and Drove Herself to the ER. — The Diane Downs Case

from True Crime Labyrinth · host Kaleb

On the night of May 19th 1983, Diane Downs drove her three children to the emergency room with gunshot wounds and told police a bushy-haired stranger had attacked them on a dark Oregon road. One child was already dead. Nurses said she seemed more concerned about how she looked on the news than about her dying children. Her surviving daughter eventually testified against her. She has been denied parole every single time. She is 70 years old and still in prison. She still says a stranger did it. This is the full story.
