Neither do i! I think that these people believe a woman cannot kill her children but they are WRONG. A woman can seem friendly and nice but she can be a killer!!
Don't forget, she even admidited the kids were sleeping while on this "site seeing trip" Y go on family site seeing trip with 3 passed out kids? Also the "man" shot all 3 of her kids at poit blank range with intent to kill, an her in the arm then just runs off. All bc he wanted her car... Y not take the car he just worked so hard for? Plus pleanty more. Non of this Brain Dead Demons story makes sense!
The re-enactment was beyond belief, she is actually laughing and joking - she is a narcissist of the worst kind. It's all 'me, me, me!' Even when she is describing her kids getting shot, it's still 'me'. ...
Nieriel ...The book the Late Ann Rule ( the best True Crime author) wrote about her is amazing..The title is Small Sacrifices they made a movie with the same title starring Farrah Fawcett both are worth reading and watching...
Awww, aren't we all so perfect and unfailable to comment judgemental shit in youtube? Yeees, we are so much better than others.. Diane Downs is the worst and we are angels.
Opposite of Evil. Evil is taking action with the explicit intent to cause harm. Evil has personal motivation. She can't feel emotion. She can't gauge moral tiers. She's a sociopath / psychopath. There's no evil. There's just, nothing.
@@d4rk0v3 Thank you! Very well said. I see so many people call people like diane, evil. They are not evil... they are void of what makes us truly human. There is just nothing.
When Diane was laughing while filming her attack , I was like OMG ur children has been shot and u r laughing and even fixing ur makeup..such a heartless person who doesn't even deserve to be called "mother"
Does anyone else notice the sketch she had them draw LOOKS like HER? Look at her eyes and the surrounding area. It looks like her lmfao. She takes bad lying to a special level I have never seen but to also damn near describe herself for the sketch artist?
Lol I've heard that people do that when they are lying. They will think of their own features when they are telling the police sketch artist what they "remember"
Hmmm... for the reenacting footage, it chilled me to the bone. she is reenacting a scene from the crime? and she seems to be having fun with it?? "These are the keys, im throwing the keys ahah" her kids were shot by a supposed man stood in the road and she is reenacting it. Im sure if her story was real she wouldn't be joking around like this?
7:37 "The 1st thing I thought about when my daughter was shot was all the pain I went through in my childhood, an my marriage" Really.... was a trial even necessary?
@@zeldapowers8094 I would always get confused when I first learned about this story and people said Downs was really attractive. Like...she's easily the most generic-looking woman I've ever seen (and she has a "I want to see your manager" haircut in every interview I've seen).
***** Completely agree. Both Yates and her husband chose to follow a guru who basically wanted to take women back to the Stone Age. In terms of culpability for her choices - Andrea could legitimately plead mental illness - her husband couldn't. The other two women are apparently sociopaths. I often think about Downs' children, particularly Cheryl. And Downs' poor son, who ended up paralyzed form the waist down.
aerialkate Idk if i fully agree with that. Yates still murdered her 4 kids in cold blood. And I think a lot of how she acted was just that, an act. Just my opinion, of course. A d i know you're gonna try saying that professional doctors diagnosed her as clinically insane, etc. which is fine, but they could also be easily wrong. They base all of that on how she acts, and almost anyone could easily fool a doctor, it's really not that hard at all. I guess we will never know.
Cynical Atheist As I understand it, Yates had twice been hospitalised with psychotic depression prior to killing her children. She wasn't knocking off a lover on the side. Unlike Yates and Downs, her children weren't an inconvenience in terms of interfering with a relationship with a man who didn't want to be a Daddy. It's not unreasonable to conclude she was genuinely mentally ill and compromised by debilitating delusions. For me, it's diminished responsibility.
Cynical Atheist If you see the police tapes of her being interviewed after the murders, she is blatantly psychotic. Rather than being a classic example of a 'mother killer' she is an example of what happens when serious mental health conditions aren't aaddressed.
I believe she did it. Her story doesn't sound right. Diane is a very sick & twisted person. And let's not forget her daughter said my mommy shot me n court
Andrea Yates shouldn't be lumped in with Diane Downs and Susan Smith. Andrea was sick. As sick as someone with a physical illness. Her doctor had advised her and Rusty against anymore pregnancies, but Rusty maintained they would continue to have more children. A tragedy that could have been avoided if Rusty and her family had wanted to help.
Lisa Casey The doctor also told them Not to leave her alone with the kids... And he left her with the kids. No one wanted to believe what the doctor told them was true and it cost them their children’s lives.
This monster caused a lot of anxiety for my mother. I was less than an year old and my mothers 3rd child. We lived in a country town were dark country roads were often traveled. There was my very young mother dealing with the daily struggles of 3 young child watching the news coverage of another young mother that had all of her children shot. Back then people didnt realize the horrors mothers were capable of. Mothers were seen as infallible so everyone believed diane and they were terrified that there was this strange man running around shooting kids. Like everyone else, my mother did start to realize something wasnt right but diane had already done her damage to the country and wasnt stopping. Fear started to turn to anger. My mother can retell that story like it happened yesterday. She not only hurt her own kids but hurt mothers around the country as well.
And Farrah Fawcett played an accurate role of Diane Downs in the TV movie Small Sacrifices. The way Diane Downs shot her own flesh of blood gave me the chills.
Modern neurology denies that there is something like a soul at all. It's all neurological processes within the brain. A psychopath just doesn't feel empathy or remorse. That's no missing soul, it's a synaptical problem.
I watched a psychology teacher explain a study done on the speech patterns of people with psychopathic traits and where when describing typically scary situations or murders/robberies they’re more likely to recount small details like what they had for breakfast, what the clerk was wearing.. or like the song playing on the radio before your CHILDREN WERE MURDERED? No grieving mother would think to bring that up. She would surely remember it forever, but not find it an important detail to share. She would be focused on finding that man.
I’m not a mom, but I’m a godmother and an auntie, so I’ve had kids with me in the car before. I would not be driving down some random dark road that I’d never been on in the day. She’s just like, “Oh, we were sightseeing.” What kinds of sights can you see on a country road in the dark? If I saw a man in the road trying to flag me down, I would never have stopped, especially not with kids in the car. I also would never have gotten out of the car. Her story is not even believable.
Such narcissism. Remember we can't choose our parents, but we don't have to be in relationship with them, if they cause us pain. I cannot imagine having no empathy and compassion. My mother came close.
she is a text book case of a sociopath and narcissistic...I can't even believe how she acts n what's even crazier is that she thinks it totally normal..... how horrible for these poor kids that their own mom shot them that would be so unbelievably hard to deal with
I don't get it. How does a person (I'm not going to say mother bcuz she's not) kill children their own even? No man is more important than your own children. It pisses me off so much. I'm a single mother. My daughter comes first before any man and anything
then don't spread their legs and have children. It's called tubes tied or birth control. I'm on birth control I'm not going to have babies with every men around well I'm not going to have sex with every men that says hi or whatever. I'm not a doctor but it sounds like you are. I was just stating my opinion. on this like everyone else. I think she should and other children killers and molesters should be tortured and hung well go overseas to one of the horrible horrible prisons to be tortured and starved and hung or whatever torture the use or we should do it over here to them.
+Tharon Turner "don't spread their legs and have children". Why didn't you just write "Why do they have children?" Why so pornographic in your imagery? This is why serial killers pose women this way - to humiliate them. We really don't need women doing the verbal equivalent too. There's no way you'd talk about irresponsible or murderous fathers in such sexually degrading terms. Your choice of language says an awful lot about internalised misogyny.
Women have been commiting infanticide for as long as history has been recorded, abhorrant and abominable as it is. Diane Downs was not the first and, tragically, she will not be the last.
exactly.. i think most people either hadn't heard of downs but only darlie and vice versa.. i connected the 2 cases cuz they are almost the same... darlie, same as downs, picks an extremely violent method of killing to make it seem a brutal maniac did it not a mother, calls 911 (same as downs driving to the hospital) both injure themselves, both give vague descriptions of assailant, both give inappropriate tv interviews smiling and not showing any emotion and showing dupers delight having a grand time with the attention... they are cut from the same mold.. psychopathic parents
Driving in the car on a school night, is not bad.Stopping for a stranger flagging you down with 3 kids,, is bad judgement.Why would any man,....person,...whatever, would shoot the kids first? That is SO un believable to me.
Poor rebecca! She is so pretty and she had to be so disturbed when she found out the truth about her biological mother.She went through a nervous breakdown and took drugs and this is sad but pretty normal. I hope she will have a happy life and wish her the best. I also wish the best for Christie and Danny who were adopted by the prosecutor Fred hugi.They deserve it!!
She ruined the song Hungry Like a Wolf. Wasn't it created by Duran Duran? I'm sure they wanted to puke when they realized this was playing loud in her car during the shootings.
Psychopaths don't relate to how other people feel, her being a sociopath she wouldn't understand that she needs to appear grief stricken to the world over what happened to her children. If you listen to her speak in other interviews, everything is "me me me"
I’m not saying she is innocent but it seems she didn’t have a fair trial and here is why: Facts -No murder weapon -Prosecution violated - Brady vs Maryland- law to allow exculpatory material to the defense -Sworn Affidavit from defense attorney saying that prosecution withheld 383 leads that may have proved innocence -The shooter (according to the state) was well within the car and would therefore be covered with gun shot residue. Diane was not. -The shooter was covered with blood spatter and the ceiling of the car was . Diane was not. -The “alleged murder weapon” gun, Ruger #14-76187 that Diane was convicted with was subsequently found in a drug raid in Perris, California. Tests were run to determine if the ballistics matched the casings from the shooting site. They didn't!!! -prosecuting attorney would adopt the children and then have another attorney send a letter to their grandparents instructing them to not to visit them? _-at least 8 different individuals gave sworn affidavits that James Haynes confessed to be the shooter -Detective Welch allegedly insisted all records were destroyed to Federal Public Defenders but they weren’t -When Diane filed an appeal, Judge Malcolm Marsh made many decisions that could have easily have been decided in Diane's favor. -The trajectory of both bullets was upward at no less than 45 degrees. The evidence shows that Christie was lying down. Christie testified in court that she was sitting behind the driver's seat. She could have not been sitting and have both bullets travel upward. Christie was not a witness. -the governor, (according to Dianne’s father) two different times, sent letters so she could file clemency, but she says 'I won't do it, I won't confess to something I didn't do, she says 'I'll rot in prison'. She had chances to be let out but insists that she did not shoot them. -Daughter later said she doesn’t know who did the shooting and said it was her mom in order to be left alone and that she said what they wanted her to say. -A Nurse wrote that the son asked “why did the man shot” -Sketch drawing is similar to Haynes who confessed to be the shooter -Oregan legal system is known to be corrupt -DA on the case is later seen with Haynes -DA on the case leaves office and later defends the gang Haynes was part of -prosecutor has conflict of interest to send Dianne for life when he adopted her kids -prosecutor sent letter to grandparents to never contact the kids again -kids were never allowed grandparents to visit at hospital
I have to agree with you. If you spoke to Diane in a grocery line, you'd walk away thinking she was the nicest, most charming woman in the world. SCARY!
You can tell she is lying. Signs you look for: looking down, sideways, facial expressions, the wordage, the way her words sounds, the emotions. When you are familiar with these signs it is easy to spot.
Treegrenade i love Ted Talks, my friends use it and i am a gay rights supporter, and if other asshats dont like it then turn away becuase they all have rights and i will stand up for it,,
I agree, you can tell she was lying because she was awful damn calm for being attacked by a mad man. I would so hysterical that I would not be able to function
I'm not really sure why people are saying she is innocent. The story doesn't add up. If there is a man on the side of the road and you have a car full of 3 children you probably would not pull over. That aside, you almost certainly would not pull over AND turn your ignition off. The fact that she gave the "man" time to get in enough strategically placed shots without fighting back is also startling. Not to mention her calm, and almost joyous facial expressions.
exactly.. i think most people either hadn't heard of downs but only darlie and vice versa.. i connected the 2 cases cuz they are almost the same... darlie, same as downs, picks an extremely violent method of killing to make it seem a brutal maniac did it not a mother, calls 911 (same as downs driving to the hospital) both injure themselves, both give vague descriptions of assailant, both give inappropriate tv interviews smiling and not showing any emotion and showing dupers delight having a grand time with the attention... they are cut from the same mold.. psychopathic parents
How is Darlie Routier being compared with this woman? I don’t see anything similar at all. This woman didn’t seem to give two shits about her children, they seemed expendable. Darlie, on the other hand seemed to be involved and loving toward those boys.
Just starting to read about this case and just watched her parole hearing. Is she saying someone named "Rick" is the father of her youngest child? This woman is evil.
In 1983, I was a senior at the university of Oregon in Eugene Oregon, just over the Willamett river. I had quit university to take care of my dying father, My sister's best friend was the mother of a best friend of the mass murderer a few years later... what to say!
I was married to a sociopath. Not like her. But they are dangerous because they get what they want. This lady here was a flawless psychopath and sociopath. She loved the attention after the fact.
That's the thing about murderers who are pretending to be innocent. They are too self absorbed and sociopathic. They can't help getting too "comfortable" they think they've got away with it and love to be centre of attention. They are so wrapped up in themselves that they end up falling on their own sword. These people are unbelievable! They are evil and dangerous x
imagine if there was actually a guy that looks like in that sketch @ 5:48 that lives around that area, that guy would have been fucked specially if he was sentenced death penalty.
Words just fail me. It's not fair what happened, not their fault their "mother" is a monstrous psycho. I hope wherever the kids are, they are without pain and full of joy. RIP.
She's eating up the attention and acting like she's the center of the universe, she can't keep up with her pathological lying, no empathy for her own children or begging for anyone with information to step forward, she totally seems like a narcissist to me!
I met this woman this year she is something els she has no ramorse for what she has dun when i talked to her about her case she was braging about all the publisity and looked ok with what she has dun
The adoption of the child Downs delivered in prison should have been closed and out of state. It was unfair to put that child under the scrutiny of comparing her to Downs.
If you take a screenshot (5:51) of the police sketch of the "Bushy Haired Stranger" and a screenshot of Diane Downs (7:38) and compare the two photographs side by side: The sketch of the suspect LOOKS like a MALE VERSION of Diane Downs! The same thin lips and THOSE HOODED EYES, except in male form.
That poor detective, his first case as lead. My Lord! People need to stop with the 'stuff like this doesn't happen here' YES, THE FUCK IT DOES!! EVERY DAY, IN FACT!
No mother would ever stop for a stranger on the road in the dark with her children in the car, nor would a woman ever get out of the car..period.
not these days but 26 yers ago in a small town-happened all the time.

Women have been commiting infanticide for as long as history has been recorded, abhorrant and abominable as it is. Diane Downs was not the first and, tragically, she will not be the last.
+aerialkate that is true. Some men and women on here just hate women. Shame on them.
Diane and Darlie Routier are two of a kind! They should be cell mates!
I agree!
exactly.. i think most people either hadn't heard of downs but only darlie and vice versa.. i connected the 2 cases cuz they are almost the same... darlie, same as downs, picks an extremely violent method of killing to make it seem a brutal maniac did it not a mother, calls 911 (same as downs driving to the hospital) both injure themselves, both give vague descriptions of assailant, both give inappropriate tv interviews smiling and not showing any emotion and showing dupers delight having a grand time with the attention... they are cut from the same mold.. psychopathic parents
"I want your car!" (Shoots the kids.) Yeah, no.
Diane is not her mother. The woman who adopted her is her mother.
Holy crap! Look at 08:28 Diane looks hella scary
she always laugh when she's lying
she was laughing in her mind what a cruel woman to do this shit
Driving in the car on a school night, is not bad.Stopping for a stranger flagging you down with 3 kids,, is bad judgement.Why would any man,....person,...whatever, would shoot the kids first? That is SO un believable to me.
sight seeing in the dark on a road you've never been on? sure 😒😳
yeah you can't see anything in the dark
And how she threw in that she turned the car off so she can later pretend to throw the keys.
Maybe she aight seen until it got dark
That lady is insane ✌
The biggest mystery to me is who thought Farrah Fawcett was the ideal actress to portray this homely woman.
Who was the obstacle to getting the car? Not three little kids but the driver yes
she makes me sick
The way she reenacted the story in the car was extremely disturbing. She enjoyed every minute of being on camera. That heifer is nuts
Poor rebecca! She is so pretty and she had to be so disturbed when she found out the truth about her biological mother.She went through a nervous breakdown and took drugs and this is sad but pretty normal. I hope she will have a happy life and wish her the best. I also wish the best for Christie and Danny who were adopted by the prosecutor Fred hugi.They deserve it!!
She ruined the song Hungry Like a Wolf. Wasn't it created by Duran Duran? I'm sure they wanted to puke when they realized this was playing loud in her car during the shootings.
Does anyone else think she has a resemblance to jenelle from teen mom 2?
Psychopaths don't relate to how other people feel, her being a sociopath she wouldn't understand that she needs to appear grief stricken to the world over what happened to her children.
If you listen to her speak in other interviews, everything is "me me me"
There's a lot more to this story than you think. Even Ann rule was thinking of writing another phase before she sadly died
More in the way of nailing Diane? Or more in her defense
I’m not saying she is innocent but it seems she didn’t have a fair trial and here is why:
Facts
-No murder weapon
-Prosecution violated - Brady vs Maryland- law to allow exculpatory material to the defense
-Sworn Affidavit from defense attorney saying that prosecution withheld 383 leads that may have proved innocence
-The shooter (according to the state) was well within the car and would therefore be covered with gun shot residue. Diane was not.
-The shooter was covered with blood spatter and the ceiling of the car was . Diane was not.
-The “alleged murder weapon” gun, Ruger #14-76187 that Diane was convicted with was subsequently found in a drug raid in Perris, California. Tests were run to determine if the ballistics matched the casings from the shooting site. They didn't!!!
-prosecuting attorney would adopt the children and then have another attorney send a letter to their grandparents instructing them to not to visit them?
_-at least 8 different individuals gave sworn affidavits that James Haynes confessed to be the shooter
-Detective Welch allegedly insisted all records were destroyed to Federal Public Defenders but they weren’t
-When Diane filed an appeal, Judge Malcolm Marsh made many decisions that could have easily have been decided in Diane's favor.
-The trajectory of both bullets was upward at no less than 45 degrees.
The evidence shows that Christie was lying down. Christie testified in court that she was
sitting behind the driver's seat. She could have not been sitting and have both bullets
travel upward. Christie was not a witness.
-the governor, (according to Dianne’s father) two different times, sent letters so she could file clemency, but she says 'I won't do it, I won't confess to something I didn't do, she says 'I'll rot in prison'. She had chances to be let out but insists that she did not shoot them.
-Daughter later said she doesn’t know who did the shooting and said it was her mom in order to be left alone and that she said what they wanted her to say.
-A Nurse wrote that the son asked “why did the man shot”
-Sketch drawing is similar to Haynes who confessed to be the shooter
-Oregan legal system is known to be corrupt
-DA on the case is later seen with Haynes
-DA on the case leaves office and later defends the gang Haynes was part of
-prosecutor has conflict of interest to send Dianne for life when he adopted her kids
-prosecutor sent letter to grandparents to never contact the kids again
-kids were never allowed grandparents to visit at hospital
@@TomAnderson_81 what's the benefits from all this. Whose agenda is at play
Who stops for a stranger flagging them down..let alone at night..if she said he’d shot out her tyre..that may have been slightly believable
We were sight seeing...in the dark
I have to agree with you. If you spoke to Diane in a grocery line, you'd walk away thinking she was the nicest, most charming woman in the world. SCARY!
Wow. This was so difficult. She was so cold.
What an evil person to do that to her own children! Unreal
You can tell she is lying. Signs you look for: looking down, sideways, facial expressions, the wordage, the way her words sounds, the emotions. When you are familiar with these signs it is easy to spot.
Ted Talks?
Treegrenade i love Ted Talks, my friends use it and i am a gay rights supporter, and if other asshats dont like it then turn away becuase they all have rights and i will stand up for it,,
I agree, you can tell she was lying because she was awful damn calm for being attacked by a mad man. I would so hysterical that I would not be able to function
I'm not really sure why people are saying she is innocent. The story doesn't add up. If there is a man on the side of the road and you have a car full of 3 children you probably would not pull over. That aside, you almost certainly would not pull over AND turn your ignition off. The fact that she gave the "man" time to get in enough strategically placed shots without fighting back is also startling. Not to mention her calm, and almost joyous facial expressions.
She reminds me of Darlie Routier the way she talks about tragedy so casually likes it no big deal.
exactly.. i think most people either hadn't heard of downs but only darlie and vice versa.. i connected the 2 cases cuz they are almost the same... darlie, same as downs, picks an extremely violent method of killing to make it seem a brutal maniac did it not a mother, calls 911 (same as downs driving to the hospital) both injure themselves, both give vague descriptions of assailant, both give inappropriate tv interviews smiling and not showing any emotion and showing dupers delight having a grand time with the attention... they are cut from the same mold.. psychopathic parents
How is Darlie Routier being compared with this woman? I don’t see anything similar at all. This woman didn’t seem to give two shits about her children, they seemed expendable. Darlie, on the other hand seemed to be involved and loving toward those boys.
I agree. I think Darlie is innocent. If I'm wrong I'm sorry.
Just starting to read about this case and just watched her parole hearing. Is she saying someone named "Rick" is the father of her youngest child? This woman is evil.
This is a true evil monster. The re-enactment is enough
Just pure sociopath evil.😬😬😬
In 1983, I was a senior at the university of Oregon in Eugene Oregon, just over the Willamett river. I had quit university to take care of my dying father, My sister's best friend was the mother of a best friend of the mass murderer a few years later... what to say!
Pause the video at exactly 8:29, that there is evil personified.
💯
Bruh why is she acting as if she was one of the kids that got shot?
She's not; I don't know what you're talking about.
PhoenixRising87 she’s actin extremely traumatized as if she’s one of the actual victims
She looks like Kristen Stewart
Too like the Princess Diana!
@@kdrxz5188 I see that too
I was married to a sociopath. Not like her. But they are dangerous because they get what they want. This lady here was a flawless psychopath and sociopath. She loved the attention after the fact.
composite drawing be lookin like Neil Young n shit bahaha
That's the thing about murderers who are pretending to be innocent. They are too self absorbed and sociopathic. They can't help getting too "comfortable" they think they've got away with it and love to be centre of attention. They are so wrapped up in themselves that they end up falling on their own sword. These people are unbelievable! They are evil and dangerous x
6:59: It took *A FUCKING MONTH* for them to figure that out?
"We liked to take out of the way country roads so I did that" Whaaaat?
imagine if there was actually a guy that looks like in that sketch @ 5:48 that lives around that area, that guy would have been fucked specially if he was sentenced death penalty.
Words just fail me. It's not fair what happened, not their fault their "mother" is a monstrous psycho.
I hope wherever the kids are, they are without pain and full of joy.
RIP.
What a great mother and role model for parents. JESUS!!!
i hope you are being sarcastic?.I think you are so ignore me ;).
Of course I am. :)
UNIXSOLJA i knew it ;).have a nice day.
TY You as well fine Sir/Madam
lol thanks.
She's eating up the attention and acting like she's the center of the universe, she can't keep up with her pathological lying, no empathy for her own children or begging for anyone with information to step forward, she totally seems like a narcissist to me!
pure evil
He adopted those kids because the case effected him so much and he wanted them to have a good life!!!!
I met this woman this year she is something els she has no ramorse for what she has dun when i talked to her about her case she was braging about all the publisity and looked ok with what she has dun
Jessica Radovicz *Yup. A genuine sociopath will never ever admit any guilt for anything.*
Wow you talk to her
Spell check?
She gets this grinn when she talks about her kids injuries. She is super sick
why does she look and act so much like bill clinton to me?
levi ridge now that you say it I can’t unsee it
Yesss she does lol
I honestly don't see no comparison
The adoption of the child Downs delivered in prison should have been closed and out of state. It was unfair to put that child under the scrutiny of comparing her to Downs.
If you take a screenshot (5:51) of the police sketch of the "Bushy Haired Stranger" and a screenshot of Diane Downs (7:38) and compare the two photographs side by side: The sketch of the suspect LOOKS like a MALE VERSION of Diane Downs! The same thin lips and THOSE HOODED EYES, except in male form.
That poor detective, his first case as lead. My Lord! People need to stop with the 'stuff like this doesn't happen here' YES, THE FUCK IT DOES!! EVERY DAY, IN FACT!
did she almost describe herself in the sketch. It kind of looks like her.
Why do women who murder their children get off with lite sentences while men who kill their children get the death penalty??
Rebecca seems to want 5 minutes of fame here. But since it's at her evil mothers expense, it's all good.
This is so cool, I was just reading the Ann Rule book, and I googled Diane Downs, just to see what there was. Really enjoyed the update!
