Yeah, her argument that she couldn't have committed the crime because she would have done a better job killing her kids is such bull because she obviously cared more about attention than their lives, health, or happiness. It seems possible, if not probable, that she would have intentionally left one or two alive to draw out the sympathy and attention she would get. If your kids die, you get sympathy and attention for a certain amount of time after their death and then eventually people forget and move on. If your kids are in the hospitals for days or weeks or months, that sympathy and attention gets extended.

Just the fact that she said she "wouldn't change it if I could" tells you she did it. Even if her story had been legitimate, any mother with a shred of empathy would've hated themselves for being there on that night.

Edit: "Word Salad", I think it's called? Narcissists do it a lot. (Onision (a narcissistic KZreadr) did it in his debate with Keemstar (he managed to talk over KEEMSTAR!) They can then try to criticize you for not responding to all of their points, and accuse their interviewer of "not knowing what they're talking about/not doing their research". People were so confused that they didn't even know what the debate topic was anymore. (I think there's a video of it on KZread, if you're curious. I believe there's a debate with Onision on Blaire White's channel, too, called "Onision Debate (Trainwreck)", or something similar. Even Blaire HERSELF was confused. Every time she responded, she would have to respond to 4-5 accusations, or else he would accuse her of being "dishonest". I personally watched it and it was *extremely* confusing. I had no idea what he was trying to say.

Anne Rule, who wrote a book about all this, stated in an interview in 2005 that both children went on to have happy lives. Christie graduated college, married, and has children of her own.

I knew when the mails was coming and if it was ok with my mother I'd wait at the bottom of the hill next to the mailbox for Diane. She was always so sweet and nice. Because I was so young, my mother just told me that Diane got into trouble, and that was it. When I was around 10 she went into detail...I was so confused.

It's not hard to understand WHY though. I highly suspect she has severe BPD among her other diagnoses. Especially from the last part, where she said her Mum would do the same thing, that's a pointer to BPD right there, because maybe, at some very early point in childhood she might have been rejected by her mother and something like early emtional childhood trauma is among the leading causes for BPD. So she has those memories of times, where she was a scared, poweless child and to THAT she can relate and feel emotional and cry about, sadness for herself basically. Because that was before her illnessess had completely evolved and she couldn't and never actually tried to love anyone. Don't get me wrong: NOBODY, but herself is responsible for her actions, but those kinda early traumatic things are what create people like her and keep this cycle of abuse and murder and toxicity alive. I for one am glad that I survived my childhood trauma, got treatment and had great support, because the mere thought of becoming anything like her simply scares me.

The interviewer at the 52:00 mark looks absolutely horrified. The part where Diane smiled was absolutely chilling and extremely disturbing. She looked absolutely pleased when describing the condition her children were in. She is nothing but a pure evil psychopath

He has ZERO backbone and she is a PSYCHO manipulator.

The genuine crying she does while talking about fear that her parents will be hurt compared to her laughing while reenacting what happened to her babies is just terrifying

I doubt those were genuine tears either. She simply realized that her previous reactions hadn't won her any sympathy, and so she changed her tactic.

Because her parents are all she has left in this world and that can garner sympathy from. Classic narcissist

That's definitely not genuine crying, definitely not. Whenever someone apologises for crying while talking about something awful with police it's a pretty clear sign it's BS. Emotion is normal, and it'll overwhelm you at a time like that, the apology is always a sign it's performative. Like "oh please forgive me for this interruption - I'm such a good person that I feel bad for inconvenience you with my emotions." absolute BS 😡 Mike Plilpot does the same thing during the press conference being held about his kids who died in the fire he set.

That was an act and a bad one… it was manipulative:.. no one said you were going free… why the histrionics for a hypothetical situation ?

Notice how she said “I didn’t do nothing wrong”- because she felt that shooting her kids was the right thing. “I wouldn’t change it if I could”- this, alongside her clear premeditation, shows just how much she wanted her children(brought into this world by her pure selfishness) gone. “The kids and I always took the back roads”- she is only sedimenting her story, not acknowledging the tragedy brought by her narcissism. Also, in the first interview she only mentioned the two surviving children, not the daughter that she killed, the daughter that she despised. I can’t help but point out that Cheryl looks the most like Diane, so calling her ugly likely reflects the internal feelings of Diane regarding her own self, how she internalized being called ugly while growing up. This shook her carefully crafted narcissistic self image, so she projected those feelings on her daughter and actively ostracized her

Cheryl was the spitting image of her Dad Steve Downs.

When talking about mothers will get under cars to protect their child it reminds me of the lady who's car began rolling back down a hill and she couldn't get into the car because it had locked and she laid her body under the back tires to keep it from rolling back into traffic. That is a MOTHER

At 1:11:23 listen to what she says. VERY telling. She says “….Kristy told her school mates that I shhh, she drew pictures…”. She was clearly about to say “Kristy told her school mates that I shot her”. But she caught herself. That was one of her most obvious subconscious screw ups to me.

I think it's because they have less consequence-thoughts. They just breed when most of us are thoughtful and use contraception

Lost Keys was a PERFECT accompaniment to her interview. 51:13 Bravo 👏

Man. What a nut job. "I'm breaking this off. I don't love you." "Oh yea? I'll move!" "...ok."

Any other parent IMMEDIATELY wonder 1) how do you "sightsee" at nite, and 2) what mom in her *right mind* would stop for a hitchhiker on a dark country road, with her kids in the car??!
