And told you bluntly that he don’t want your crazy ass !

@@letsnotbefriendly Rite 🤦🏿‍♂️

@@EricOWilliam have you seen her parole hearing videos ? She is still lying and not taking accountability.. may she never leave that place

@@letsnotbefriendly Yes I watched all of them she's going to take this lie to the grave she was trying to be sneaky and say well it was my fought for taking my kids out no crazy narcissist psycho it was your fought for shooting your kids over a married man's 🍆

​@@letsnotbefriendly She has a chance for another Parole hearing in 2025. Hopefully, it's denied. She may be too old to physically hurt anyone again but, her ability to lie is SCARY.

She actually thought she could talk her way out of it and they would believe her crap

Kind of like a female version of trump

Or like you and your what aboutism

​@@user-cs6up8eq7skind of like AOC.

@@carolsummers8734 how sad and pathetic you stupid Donald Trump knob shiners are your orange turd will never be anywhere near the White House again you poor pathetic lady you're in such desperate need of medical help and you don't even realize it but in the meantime keep sending him that money you brainwashed turd ball 😂😂

@@carolsummers8734 go on back to Texas and wait on a Deadman trumptard

Schitzophrenia

she loves the limelight.

Her interviews are a little similar to Charles Manson interviews all lies no truth at all.

She has a number of cellmates since it is a large dorm.

@@alexhill4757 I wonder what they think of her

@@allwayscgood576 She acts just like my aunt so probably not highly.

@All ways C Good These women are felons, many of them hardened, BUT they're still women and killing your own kids is crossing a line. She has no friends and no one wants anything to do with her. I'm surprised she hasn't been attacked, assaulted, or even killed. I wouldn't want to be around her at all. The site of her repulses me.

Hahaha 🤣

Fascinating? I guess I have different descriptive adjectives…I’m sorry but NONE OF THEM GOOD!

Fascinating because she is such a wicked person.

I'm with you!

I agree. I think it's her way of speaking that entrances me. It's bizarre.

I agree. I also like your name 😉

Steve Downs was one not the biological father of Diana's youngest son, second he knew that with the medical issues that the children were left with he could not care for them properly as a single man.

I think he wrestled with it. They knew each other at 15 years old. I think it would be hard to wrap your mind around it, you know?

Yes, he was horrible. He was never protective of those kids.

What a surprise she was with a weak man.

I don't think they've ever figured that out yet they've been trying since the mid-seventies sometime

Its about control. She is trying to control the situation and the story.

Actually neighbors gave statements that the kids were abused, Diane hardly fed the kids or bought them decent clothes but yet she dressed nice and bought a brand new car

Apparently though she was awake because she had put her hand in front of her and a bullet went through her hand and her summer something and then her chest, so she did look at her mother while she shot her, they both knew that. That's why I bought an 8-minute Drive took over 20 minutes to get to the hospital because she knew she wasn't going to bleed out but the kids were still alive and breathing at least two of them, and she figured they would bleed out with in that amount of time. She's callous and calculated and manipulative. She's got herself so convinced in her mind that she did not do it that there isn't one second that she will not spend trying to convince everyone else in this world that she did not do that and try to get them to believe it. No Remorse no thought at all about her children oh, she doesn't have it in her to have those feelings. She made a comment and one of the videos that "children are easily conceived". Then smiled. That was after her child was dead and the other two wounded Gravely by her. Even after she escaped the man that she spent the 10 days with said I swear she wanted to get pregnant. She always was saying she got treated with more kindness and courtesy when she was pregnant then when she wasn't. She only became pregnant to get sympathy and treated better and loved the attention than when she wasn't pregnant, that's the only reason she ever had any of those children. The last child she was pregnant with I think her name was Rebecca that she had to give up because she was found guilty was one of the journalists, a reporter that she had sex with to get pregnant again and get the attention. She needed her tubes tied, a muzzle and a straight jacket and a rubber room. That would have been the best thing for that monster.

Narcissists _create_ chaos to control the chaos they create.

😂😂😂

Liars usually do that .. they will talk about the most irrelevant things to appear like they are telling the truth because of all the information they have

That's where she belongs dude she killed her kids

Well one of them died and she tried her damnedest to kill the other two

I don’t understand when people say “I’m not crying because it wouldn’t it wouldn’t help” or whatever. Can people control it? I can’t control it. When I cry it just happens, want to or not.

@@rachelraquel758 Lets say you cried your eyes out until you had no more tears left. The stress of reliving it would still show on your face. She doesn't relive it because it didn't happen the way she has rewritten it.

@@dw3403 obviously she’s lying, but Casey Anthony said something similar and I have heard other people say it. It always strikes me as a weird statement. Maybe you can hold the tears back a little, but you can’t just stop yourself from crying because it wouldn’t help, right?

@@rachelraquel758 Honestly I would be a mess and need to be on sedatives. In the first place I know we women would not stop a car for some man flagging us down at night, with or without kids. But lets pretend we were dumb enough to do such a thing. Scooting past all her bs to the point of him leaning in and shooting the kids. It took about sixteen seconds with hardly a blick she says. I know most of us would not have stood still that fifteen seconds and would have been all over him trying to stop him some way. There would be hair or skin in our hands and blood maybe even a hat. I probably would have been found dead on the road because this type of stuff brings out fight or flight and it would be kill him or die trying.

@@dw3403 yeah, the car thing too. Why are you sight seeing in the dark and why are you stopping for random men. But my question is about the crying. Can other people control it? Honestly when I start, it’s hard to stop. Edit: I can’t spell

That was when they were in the hospital

Yeah she kind of reminds me of a female Donald Trump

More like Joe Biden. Fos and outlandish idiotic jibberish

I know I remembered gagging back in 1983 as a kid listening to this idiot

Ha! You can hear her tone go up in excitement when she sees there's still room on the tape. Remember that 1st bedside interview, 5/21/83? "The lost tapes" --- when Doug or Tracey let the tape run out? She was so vigilant after that, about room left on tapes. God forbid we miss a single pearl! _It's still going . . ._ How many times we hear her reassure herself about that!

@@leapinglaura7343 haha. Right 😄

She knows damn good and well she did it

4 * my ass she's changed it like seven or eight times

In her sick deranged mind she actually thought she was going to be with that guy right up until they arrested her and threw her ass in prison

Oh good, I'm not crazy, then. Or if I am, I'm not the only one. :))

@@leapinglaura7343 lol nope I'm with ya 😅

​@@missmidnight71 I'm listening and commenting every night! My favorite tape is her bedside interrogation (5/21/83), part 2, how bout you?

@@leapinglaura7343 Yes she's definitely an interesting specimen isn't she Mine would have to be when Nick spits her out, rejecting her and her crimes, I would to see the actual court trial footage to really get a gauge on the moment she realises that even after all she did still couldn't keep his attention.

​@missmidnight1994 That would be epic! Unfortunately, cameras weren't allowed in the courtroom. (You and I should buy the transcripts and read them aloud, for a blockbuster yt special lol.) Now that you mention it, Missy, Diane found out the day after the shooting that Knick was disgusted with her. But it's true, she held onto hope it would still work, until (I'm guessing) July 21. Because in the 7/22/83 hardball interview, she tells detectives she only "learned last night that Knick wasn't moving to Oregon and I was shocked." --Say, THAT'S the tape you wanna hear! DD TV is going to upload it later, I believe.

Because she is the shooter.

Because she's the killer

they had her the first day. Things did not add up.

She wasn't married any more. But no, ppl didn't think she was normal lol. If you're wondering if ppl thought her capable of this, I dunno, except for Knick, her ex lover, who knew _immediately_ that she had done it.

Steve Downs did not think he could give them the care they need. He said he would have to work and who would take care of them while he worked. Not to mention he is not the biological father of Danny. Even if Steve did want them he might have had trouble getting them bc he had defied the judge and an order saying Diane was not to see the kids. They let him have a visit & he turns around & let’s Diane see the kids & even let Diane take Christy off in the car. So he put his kids in danger by ignoring the courts order. Which probably meant he would not be given custody of the kids.

I am not sure he ever wanted children. She wanted to pop em out because they gave her a feeling. See if you can find the clip of her talking about the baby she said he made her abort.

Did you know the prosecutor adopted them both?

Or the sheriff, for that matter!

Actually, at 6:04, he says (i.e., lies) "Steve admitted to me that Paula wanted a relationship with him. This was shortly after he got here." This lie is so interesting because the truth is, shortly after he got there, Steve exploded at Diane in front of everyone for idly inventing this insane story. Diane is obviously worried the sheriff's heard about that.

Gloves? I don't know about guns.

The results were not negative but inconclusive. It's a bit different. In any case, it could be because of gloves but even without, it's not unusual to have this kind of results even if you did hold the gun, from what I read. Sometimes even people who committed suicide by shooting themselves don't have any GSR. Also the test was done several hours after the shooting, which increases the chances of an inconclusive result. One witness said she may have washed her hands in the hospital, but again, even without washing your hands, the residue can wear off enough to produce an inconclusive result. Saying it "proves" she did not hold the gun is a very far stretch but since this monologue appears to be a web of lies, it's not very surprising.

When was she tested? After she was examined at the hospital? To gave an exam the entire wound and wound area would be cleaned by a nurse or technician. She was aware that the test for gsr.

According to the book, she washed her hands

​@@marcysikder8788 she stop somewhere to get rid of the gun and washed her hands somewhere

Lol agree

Well, he pretty much didn't, so we DID get a half hour glimpse inside her mind, as she babbles with cunning incoherence. :))

That ugly-ass narcissist knows damn good and well she killed her kids

Well killed one shot the other two whatever

Its the lack of the gun. If I remember right they said the hospital was not that far away. And it is the time she took to get there that was in question. Something like 15 mins and it shouldnt have, so they said she drove really slow so they would bleed out before she got there. No cameras like we have today. She could have done it then. She had put two guns in her trunk a few weeks earlier. She could have had it all planned out then. But in one clip she said she didnt know where the towel on her arm came from. Weird huh? She used it on herself and not one of her children?

Super weird! She can remember so many of the unimportant details very vividly, like what she was thinking, good Vs evil, ridiculous rumours to try and throw the police off but nothing at all about the brutality inflicted on the kids by their mother. 10-15 minutes of time "missing" that she "can't remember" but the "guy" who apparently did it leaned into the car and shot her kids with an impossible degree of accuracy, right through the heart, but she has relatively minor injuries. It's unbelievable. And the fact that she doesn't "care if you (the police) catch him or not...." She is a nutcase. Incredibly dangerous. And fortunately, where she belongs.

The one that lived the girl testified in court against her said there was no bushy haired man and she says it until this day

She tried to kill them because this guy she was banging didn't want kids in his life and she was obsessed with him and he just used her for a piece of ass

Yes, Paul was recording.

She wouldn’t.. the evidence and the fact that no one would shot three kids and and only shot the adult in the arm. And if he wanted her car why would he shot the kids that are in the car? The whole town wanted Diane arrested.. I’ve followed this case almost since it happened, trust me they knew that night she pulled into the ER that she did it, after learning Cheryl died she asked if it’ll be ok for her to go to work in the morning..

@@nunya6346 yes, I grew up in Florence and remember the case as it unfolded on the news. I now live 3 miles from where the crime happened. Maybe she wouldn’t have got away with it but the fact she couldn’t keep her mouth shut sure as hell dug her own hole!

@@vf12497439 that’s that histrionic personality disorder she has, and the fact that she thought she was smarter than the police that was investigating the case
