Diane Downs 2020 Parole Hearing Audio │ Part 3: "FINAL VERSION" 

Yeah hey look I just got a blanket for my child made by Dianne Downes..burn it now

Amen! I never thought of it that way! She is the last person I would want to be gifted a blanket from!!

Omg can you imagine it.

Exactly right. I would wrap my baby in paper before I would use anything that evil thing made!

Quite ironic, Isn't it.

I was just thinking that. She has excellent articulation.

@@DrJ-hx7wvshe’s spent ages looking up things to find excuses as to why she behaves like she does. She’s looking for a medical/physical excuse, when really she would be better of looking at a book about mental health issues, a psychological reason why she’s nuts!

Yeah, I caught that, it's never come up before until 37 yrs later, because you know if it was true we would have heard story after story about it every time she opens her stupid mouth.

She is so delusional. Christie had aphasia from her stroke…hmmm Diane probably early dementia is confusing herself with what Christie had. I could go on and on how she has also taken words from another (Nick) and applied them as her own thoughts which just spill out in a torrent of words that suck the oxygen out of any room even if it’s zoom 😂

I have aphasia. It only hits when it feels like it. Mostly day to day I can't find some words, worse if I'm tired. Sometimes I say nonsense. The other day I said 'I bottled her up' instead of 'I filled up the bottle' sometimes it's absolutely unrelated nonsense or I can't think of what I'm trying to say so I just say a few close words. In general speech I sound fine and you probably won't notice unless I'm tired or you'll think I'm just losing track of my thoughts.

Literally everyone who has children does so for selfish reasons. They are millions of children without homes. If people cared about kids more than themselves, that would not be the case.

Totally agree

Yes not a woman a parasite

Mental illness. She seems far worse than when she was younger and committed the crime, but she has had 37 years to get this sick.

God is the ONLY person that can help her. Jesus Christ is the only way. For everyone on this planet Jesus Christ is the solution because we are ALL sinners in desperate need of a Savior. I pray that Diane will accept responsibility for her crimes.

@@marilynmanord1790she never will admit she did this, because she would have to also admit she has been lying for 37 years. She is preventing her own possibility of Parole, because she will never be truthful.

The sociopath or psychopath does NOT feel for the victim because they have no conscience. You want Downs to admit to the horror of what happened. What was going on was that her children were in her way of an affair she wanted to have with a man. You can compare her with Susan Smith, period.

@Tim Garcia...Agreed!..perfect insight! Great comment Tim!

And I hope they never, ever let that psychopath out!

Gets it from her parents. They had cognitive dissonance down pat as well.

Totally agree

Same

I even feel bad for the criminals that have to live with that mouth that never ceases to flap.

She can't chance, it's in her geens and brain function.

They won't

She is so sick. No way to let her Go.

Haha. You said in one sentence what took me 100 ! ❤

No keep her in jail I agree

I don't really care if they let her out. She's hardly a danger to the public. And her kids don't even remember what happened. They don't care. And have no interest in her. Nobody cares except people that want revenge on her. I say let her out. It would likely be worse for her out of prison. Dumb fck brother will have to look after her. 😆

In the previous part of the hearing she says, "People don't hate me because I'm a " baby killer," they hate me because I'm famous. " Like, no Diane, they definitely hate you because you're a baby killer

She was “stressed,” she says now. Riiiight.

Yes

Totally agree

Agreed. Hence the fantastical stories.

I want to get drunk and I don’t drink 😅

I’ve listed to all 3 parts. Almost half way into this one and I’m drained. I mean spent. Ready for a nap

“I need too stop helping people” took me out!! right at the start of a parol hearing is a mad move😵‍💫🥃

It is exhausting just listening to her, with all these so called stories. She never answers the questions they ask. Always has another story to tell.

@@glitter7777exactly! No one wonders why her relationships never last.

Sounds like Amber Heard and O.J. Simpson. They both said something similar.

If you're done with this watch the first 3 minutes of her on Oprah Winfrey it's incredible the story she tells right from 2 minutes on: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SsMXTsU4eqE.html

@@honeyowen3163 she’s literally smiling right when Oprah asks her to tell everyone what happened on the night of May 19th. Also she literally shows no emotions through the video. Wow. She’s such a psychopath!!!

I have heard other murderers use this excuse. What they don't understand is innocent people wouldn't be thinking like that.

@@kimthreadgold2755 Exactly. They know exactly what they did & because its a lie....they don't feel it sounds believable. So they fall back on 'I'd do it perfectly if I committed murder'.....instead of of what an innocent person would say "How could anyone think I'd do this?!! I am so p*ssed at all of this!" etc. etc.

Narcissists like her get worse with age not better. I hope she never gets out

Yes, as smart as she is if she’d only take responsibility and show remorse she’d probably have a chance at parole. The same goes for Betty Broadrick.

Personally, I prefer she doesn't care to mime remorse or guilt. My nephew was brutally murdered at age 2 in the early 00s. His murderer attempted to transparently pantomime some semblance of remorse, until sentencing was over and the judge stamped 25 to life on his admittance slip, that is of course. The sickening display of chicanery made the trial all the more terrible for all concerned. At least he'll never hurt another child with the same hand that swung that MagLight, as he no longer enjoys its use, or attachment to the rest of his arm that matter.

​@@MomMom4Cubs I should have mentioned that I was thinking of genuine remorse so my apologies if I didn't make that clear. These days I focus primarily on survivors of crimes and trauma-based disorders but for a decade I also worked with convicted felons. It was my experience during that decade that parole boards focused far too much on 'good behaviour' in correctional facilities coupled with expressions of apparent remorse* and frequently ignored warnings by clinicians who had assessed them and found they posed a very high risk of recidivism. This led to many dangerous and predatory individuals being released often only having served less than half the original sentences and *many were very adept at manipulation hence feigned remorse which parole board members mistakenly believed was genuine. The results were often catastrophic with many of those released committing even more violent crimes after being released. The behaviour of your nephew's murderer is unfortunately all too familiar to me and I am relieved he remains incarcerated. I'm so very sorry for the loss of your beloved nephew and the pain caused by that brutal murderer. May your nephew's memory be a blessing.

I noticed the same thing and thought that it was one of the creepiest things Diane said in that interview. Appropriating her daughter's condition, a condition *Diane caused herself in her daughter by shooting her* ,as exculpatory evidence is so sick.

Oh I didn’t catch that. She’s an idiot. She must have forgotten where she read that

😯 That's horrible! I didn't read the book, so that would've slipped right by me.

Her inability to show emotions/remorse for what happened seems to show leanings of another type of personality disorder as well.

She's a lunatic, hopeless, zero remorse,

@@Michelle-u5y No. she is textbook narcissistic personality disorder. she cares too much about her image & about how she's perceived by others to have antisocial personality disorder.

Idk, i feel a narc would lie just to get out and cause more chaos

@@ellisdee420 She'd be a human breeding sow. I think she'd have just continued having random babies being that they're "so easily concieved".

She indirectly admitted! 7:47! She is just too far gone to realize what she is saying. She thinks that the more she talks, the smarter she sounds...

Wow that will probably be the closest she will ever come to accepting or admitting anything close to being wrong in this ,good ear 👂 mirr91

“Wrongdoing” 😂

You can tell who read the book and who didn’t. Fred Hugi broke Diane [down] piece by piece, lie by lie. Listen to her still lying, denying, flirting at will and forever being a smart ass.

I think you meant 'raced'

Diane Downs is so narcissistic. She doesn’t even know it. I read the book by Ms. Rule. It was so sad. Diane will always hurt any child that is near her. I hope she stays in jail. I pray for her children. 🙏 I just get sick with Diane. 🙄😳🤯🤮

amen

Death Penalty Case

I couldnt believe she said that!😂 Deluional!!😂

Precisely. For argument's sake, I will agree that carjackings indeed happen. No one says they don't. What I do not agree with is the way she told it in her story. A real carjacker would've most likely shot HER, if anyone. And it would be a mortal wound too, not a flesh wound as in her forearm, since she was the adult, and both the one most physically capable of resisting him, and the one who could identify him later. As for the children, it is highly doubtful he'd have even been aware of their presence in the vehicle, because he'd be so dead set on getting a vehicle. Since it was night, and thus, dark, they'd have been hidden by the darkness, being below the windows. Once he became aware of their presence, he'd most likely have made them get out, since he wouldn't consider them a significant threat to him, and then driven off.

@@jpx8793 Why didn't the carjacker take the car?

​@@gracejones2831Because he didn't exist!

Let's not forget that she took that road because "they liked sightseeing." Bitch it's night time and the kids were sleeping!!!

Exactly no woman with 3 sleeping children in a car is gonna stop at night in a deserted road for a random stranger man and get out of the car…. Its ridiculous, and why hell if he wanted the car would he kill the kids and not Diane first ? He doesnt wanna be driving a stolen car with 3 dead children in the back…. Her story made absolutely no sense

right? i was shocked too

She’s just learned what is acceptable and not acceptable to say based on the reactions of others.

She read enough books to know what Narcissistic things NOT to say.

If you really think about it, and just work through her excuse logically, and compare it other Narcissists it’s says it all. Lori Vallow- said Nothing Tisha Stauch- Insanity Aileen Wournos- Self Defense Diane Downs- Stranger did it. Notice a pattern?

She's learned a little bit about what they want to hear. But her psychopathy always takes over and she can't help but shoot herself in the foot

Yes, the most intelligent voice in the arena. The board otherwise, outside of Mr Taylor, is not capable and improperly trained.

Yes. She discribed her cristalclear! She can Not live with the Community.

Everyone accept Diane. I'm sure every time she's denied parole she feels slighted, and like they're all just against her, and don't want her to be free because they have some personal vendetta against her. Diane may be intelligent in certain ways, but her level of delusion is astronomical.

She didn’t even know how to fake it. Which is so crazy because surely other woman shes locked up with who know the parole process have told her she needs to show remorse but she’s can’t even fake it

@@idontknowmuch3441 Exactly! She's such a narcissist, she'll never admit she did wrong. She's the star of her show. In some warped way, she is answering questions like they are so interested in her and love hearing her talk.

@@sweettina2 I agree, that is certainly how it seems to be! Diane loves the attention & loves to talk. She may well enjoy these things almost as much as the idea of being paroled. If she got paroled, no one would be very interested in her story.

She literally cannot fake it, because she doesn't know what the emotion even feels like. Her narcissism prevents her from even faking tears! Incredible how evil humans are.

Yes but Diane doesn't want to trouble her.

Great point, Mary.

🎯🎯🎯

Diane is desperate to get communication with her kids so she can manipulate them. All of this screaming about my kids have the right to yell at me blah, blah, blah.

Christi did retract her testimony already though and said “she does not know who shot her.” Realistically, it would be nearly impossible for Christi to have seen what happened because she was sleep. The problem with this case has always been lack of DNA evidence. DNA evidence proves whether or not who shot those kids. The fingerprints testing showing multiple fingerprints on the car is not enough evidence to conclude anything so DNA is the best way to make a conclusion

Where not here ? You mean his closing remarks to the jury in ‘Small Sacrifices’. Farah was terrific in it. I read the book by Ann Rule - great except it was the unabridged version whatever that means. It was super short. PS. Oh good. Now there’s a DA to speak at this at 54:05

@@531katieThe Lane County DDA was there and made very cogent comments (JoAnn is her name).

@@cassandra3862she are Diane ass up and left no crumbs lol

I have been listening for 3 hours, and I want to puncture my own eardrums...

It’s called word salad.. that how narcissist try and trick you up

Omg me too 😢 I actually have to turn it off if it comes on the radio

I have panic attacks when i hear it and automatically think of her I HATE IT 😢

Great title for a Paul Simon. song.

Well, she's pretty convinced each time that she's going to be paroled. Part of her delusions

I think you're right in the sense that I believe that some of these parole hearings tend to be for show only, and that the outcome is decided in advance. It seems they're just going through the motions and have no intention of paroling her. I'm not really sure what the point of these parole hearings is, other than for show.

Na stuff it ..muck with that evil bitches head maybe try and get her to admit her crime

Paula Sims got paroled recently. She murdered two of her three children The daughters. However, she did admit it but still….the murders were horrific and she only admitted it so the death penalty was taken off the table. I remember when both those crimes happened as I am around the age of them and had small children. It was a bad time. RIP Ann Rule. I think I’ve read every book you ever wrote.

@@karend.SKYWARN WOW! That is crazy! Thanks for letting me know! Idk if I have heard of that case!

I didn’t know crochet needles were allowed in prison since it could be used as a weapon

@@abigail7579 I am amazed when I read what is allowed in prisons. Inmates are allowed razors(!!!) to shave with (yet theoretically, they are collected afterwards....but how easily could one be forgotten by accident?!) & matches & lighters...all sorts of things.

Ha Ha!

Same thought, no way!

Don't forget she'll make extra from her tree surgeon contracts...'$2700 for 6 hours work'... and her hours on the job as an electrician...!!! BAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Not sure what she thinks she'll earn from tree trimming as a 67 year old self-described 'obese' woman

Right? Also, it takes MONTHS to crochet a queen-size blanket, yet she can do it in one day. Wow.

@@veronicawood8295 At the age of 70, obese with a bad knee. Okay

@@OttawaAndy Exactly...I crochet, and I'm pleased with myself if I can finish a crop top for my nieces in one day, but a BLANKET?? Don't think so Diane...that's humanly impossible and just ludicrous. Gives you an example of what a delusional BS artist she truly is.

Exactly. If her children truly knew she was innocent, they would've reached out to her to comfort her LONG ago.

@@veronicawood8295 yes exactly

I feel sad for them that they had to live and accept the fact that this is their mother. I remember as a kid I thought of my dad as an invincible fighter pilot hero. But as an adult I see he is a flawed human, can be domineering, but ultimately a good man. Generally kids see their parents in a positive light, so for them it must’ve been tough as kids seeing how disturbed this woman was then having to come to terms with all of this and finally coming to the conclusion that this lady is just broken.

She NEVER did any therapy

Fortunately the surviving Downs children spent three years in a highly regarded foster home before they were adopted by Joanne and Fred Hugi, the latter being the prosecutor whose trial work incarcerated Diane Downs for the rest of her life to date. The Downs kids have become adults in a very private and loving environment.

It's just as likely as "your check's in the mail," or "I won't cum in your mouth."

They probably dread a letter from Princess Diane

Agree !!!

😊l😅😅😅😅😊

I read on google it took less than 30 minutes😂

Me too!

Me too!!

Me too!

I bet she's lying, as usual, she could barely describes the books & said Valkyrie, that has to do with Hitler!! Wth!😂

Amen 🙏

The feeling of falling in love with my babies was very profound. Even stronger than falling in love with my husband!

When u listen to EVerything with Diane Downs has said since this happened u can see her lies & criss crossing info

By law, they have to grant her these parole hearings. If they deny them, she could either file a grievance or set a precedent for other convicts.....which doesn't help maintain the justice-system, especially for the innocents incarcerated.

At the time of her atrocious crimes, LWOP wasn't law yet.

One of Diane Downs' books is surprisingly on Thriftbooks. I didn't want to waste my money buying it, even though I knew none of the money would go to her. I called my local library to see if they had it, or if any other library in our county or state had it (I live in Indiana), and no one else did. It's called "Best Kept Secrets".

​@@LighthouseLover1989 > that doesn't sound like a very fantasy or sci-fi title!

What is his name and what podcast was he on?

He probably thinks she’s going to pay him back with her 200k salary when she gets out 😂😂😂😂

@@TariAkpodiete I can't remember the name, but he is on RU-vid.I tripped over it accidently. The expert was actually pretty good. He went into detail about the bullet angle, height's, blood splatter, blanket etc.

​@@mrsv5736Let's not forget that it will be 200k a year for only part time work. Lmao

I wish we could have seen her reaction to not being paroled. She deserves to rot in prison

Yes I think if she got out she’d kill Steve Downs , Fred Hugi and his wife ( the prosecutor and his wife who adopted her surviving children ) , and probably those children who of course now are adults . Especially Christy who testified against her .

Nor in any of her multiple news interviews after the crime. Nice try Diane. Nothing is EVER the narcissist's fault...just like Amber Heard. I think in their own sick minds, they actually convince themselves that their BS is actually true.

Diane Downs is projecting Christie's symptoms onto herself. The exact phrase "for example Christie will say pen instead of pencil" is in the book Small Sacrifices by Ann Rule. She is such a horrible person!

@@tootsiequilt exactly what I thought also. That bitch never misses a trick.

Yes cause the kids are the one that suffered

When she said she wanted to atone my first thought was 'For what'? You said you didn't do it!

Yes she did ! Many times

Me too.

We need part 4. We need to listen the verdict.

That’s because most of them belong in prison too .

But not that many.

😂😂

Because it's all about her.

How the hell did her idiot ex-husband justify what he did? Did he ever speak on the case?

Actually, during the Oprah broadcast at which Ann Rule was present, Oprah says that Diane visited Christie in violation of the court order. Diane says, “Yah,” as though it’s nothing, and babbles from there about saying “mom things” to her surviving daughter.

Jodi Arias is where she should be, but she did not shoot defenseless little children. This woman is a complete monster. A freak of nature

Agreed. Yet like Diane, she either doesn't realize how her behavior looks to others.....or does not care. Arias was filmed in the jailhouse waiting room, talking to herself saying "Geez you could have at least done your makeup, Jodi." & also doing HANDSTANDS, cartwheels, & singing "Ave Maria" in a chillingly lovely voice....while waiting for the detectives to return to continue her questioning!!

Diane is slippery!! If u listen to everything on her you are able to see her lies, how she twist words & projects her child's aphasia onto herself and other awful things

And now Suitcase Sarah Boone

She is childish inspite of her amazing intelligence sarcasm

Yes… but 0.0005% chance.

She and Jeff Macdonald are just alike in that way.

She burns her own bridge by her words

@@jesusbuiltmyhotrod don't forget Betty Broderick. She has novremorse either.

@@kathleendobens6648 you're right.

Its true!! She's actually insane!!😮

I want to vomit 🤢

Dear god noooo!

😂😂😂😂😂funny, not funny

She was only trying to help the guards....she's very considerate that way🙄

Great point, Shannon!

absolutely. I think she does regret shooting her kids and I think it's become incredibly painful for her (especially since the man she wanted ghosted her anyway) and these fantastical stories are a way for her to cope by spiraling into delusion. I think if she could go back to May 19, 1983, she would not have shot them

Diane is a diagnosed psychopath, with severe ASPD and histrionic...she has no remorse, guilt or regret for her children, only herself. I hope she can someday fully admit what she did, but she won't..and she will only get out of prison in a bodybag.
