Diane Downs: The Lost Tapes │ BEDSIDE INTERROGATION: PART 1 │ (5-21-83) 

She told the detective, "Ok, back to the scene." Like she is describing a movie, or a script. I can't believe how nonchalant and absolutely ice cold she is describing her children. "They looked yellow. Have you ever seen a dead person before? " while giggling. Malignant narcissist and psychopath. I listened to her most recent parole hearing. She hasn't changed. She tried to pretend she wants answers for her children but it's all about her. She is a definite risk to society, but specifically to her children. There is something seriously wrong with her. She is not like the rest of humanity. Something is missing. She should never be released.

I bet she loved the fact that Farrah played her in the movie, you know it went right to her BIG ego

It's insane that she doesn't realize how effing insane she sounds. She actually says some of the most disturbing shit out loud...it's CRAZY. She says shit that most people would never even think up in our heads, not even in a moment of weakness...like WTF?!

Children freshly shot, one dead and she's talking like she's recalling a trip to the mall .

She is LAUGHING throughout this interview. What kind of monster, even in the throes of shock, LAUGHINGLY responds to a police investigation of her dead children? It's unbelievable.

She has no trauma in her voice. Anyone that loves their kids is going to have an extremely difficult time retelling the story. She tells it like she’s talking about something ordinary

The "sightseeing" would have been my first clue. The way to go back to Springfield is Marcola Rd which you have to take anyways to reach the exit for Old Mohawk Rd. As for vegetation and sightseeing both roads are exactly the same. Old Mohawk Rd connects back to Marcola Rd aprox one and half mile ahead, so it would be stupid for anyone driving back to Springfield exit Marcola just to join Marcola again in less than 2 miles. Both are rural 2 lanes road sided by trees and vegetation. But there is a significant difference between the 2 roads at night, Marcola has traffic while Old Mohawk is completely deserted. Any woman with 3 kids in the car would stay in Marcola Rd unless she is looking for an isolated spot where to stop the car without being bothered by passing traffic. There's nothing in Old Mohawk Rd that you don't see in Marcola Rd (vegetation and trees). The whole "sightseeing" crap is nothing but bullshit right there.

How can she state her child did not suffer? The poor child was shot in the chest and died choking on her own blood, by her own murderous mother’s statements. Horrifying!!!

She talks about what her children went through like she was discussing the weather while planning a picnic.

Wow, she's talking, laughing and then in the next sentence talking about her kids being shot and dying. Her voice never change !! She is scary and crazy!! 😱

"This is MY time". UNREAL!!!!! Thank you SO MUCH for posting this!! I can't believe this!!! I thought I had heard it all. This breaks my heart. Those poor babies...Downs is a certified MONSTER

“They told me my daughter Cheryl might not make it and I said, okay”. Chilling.

This is THE MOST disturbing, disgusting rantings of a complete lunatic ive ever heard! There is not ONE thing she says that is a natural reaction from a loving mother. I was sickened by her when it happened years ago but this is next level depravity 😢

I cannot believe she actually said that she was devastated when they mistakenly told her Christy died because she's her favorite. Everything she says is atrocious but for some reason that seemed more callous than other things she's said. Also, she said she told Nick "I think I love the kids even more than I love you". Shouldn't that be how it is with every parent and their kids when they are with a new boyfriend???

She sounds insane and not like a mother who just lost her daughter

She's laughing throughout almost the entire interview

@24:31 She was crushed thinking that Cheryl had survived because she favoured Christie more? They were children! HER children! I can't.

“Surprise, surprise”. Casey Anthony said those exact words. 😨

OMG! One thing you would not want to say to Diane is "Why don't you go ahead and take it from the top." MY god that woman can talk.

Christie’s my favorite?! No remorse. No genuine emotion. It’s all a show, and she is the Star. Disgusting.

I knew the interview existed but never could find it!....UNTIL NOW! Thank you!

Notice whenever she starts talking about her kids she says “anyways” as if she’s getting off track of this important story about herself!

They told me, "Cheri might not make it.", and I said, "Okay.".. My puke reflex is feeling triggered.

This crazy B.... Talks about it like having a fun day at the beach.She laughs at times while telling the story.She also talks about stopping at a stop sign? Her kids are dying and she stops? Wow!!!

"Because I want to see who the hell is dead! Who was it? Ya know? You want to know who to mourn for and who you're supposed to cry for."

this is the audio that scares me the most of diane.

"I wanna see who is alive; I don't want to see who's dead; I want to see who is alive...." This woman is absolutely certifiable. 🤯

how can you describe your CHILD BEING SHOT IN THE CHEST as "dead on"?????

She talk to much and mention thing that not related to the shooting

it's amazing that you got your hands on this tapes!

Best channel in RU-vid history.

"If they have to die let em die, but don't let them suffer". Jesus.

She talks about being a conscientious mother but no mother I know drives her young kids around at 9pm - unless there is a proper reason to do so. She was full of rage as Knickerbocker wasn't obeying her demands.

How many times did we hear, MY arm is really starting to hurt.

It's ALL about her. That monotone lying voice is maddening. Even here she didn't shed one tear.

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS. listening now. What scares me is how calm she discusses the shooting of her children. I used to think she was calm when talking about the murders because they happened a few months/years ago. Here it was so recent. she was so calm!! Also she mentions that she prayed that if they had to die to kill them, but not make them suffer. How could she think that? I think people normally grip to the life of their kids. they would not pray for them to die... these videos are very eye opening. I was supporting diane. i felt bad for her. I thought that she should be free now. but wow. she is evil.

“This is my time” when the interrogation is interrupted by the police scanner. That tells you everything you need to know about her right there.

Psychopath. Definitely a psychopath.

Christie was my favorite! OMG!

Unbelievable how she's telling the story! No saddness, no crying, no pain in her voice. I don't think I'd even be able to talk at all if I had gone through something like that. They would have had to sedate me. She's laughing and just talking like it was a trip to the market. I've watched everything on her and this case and it still haunts me. The level of crazy this woman is is off the charts, but so intriguing

I have listened to almost every interview Diane Downs has ever been involved in and the lunatic is her own worst enemy. She just never seems to know when to shut up. She just rambles on and on and one thing just rolls into another. The interviewer will blow a little smoke up her ass about how smart she is and boy she really gets to rolling then. During her parole hearings she always goes on and on about somebody being after her and how innocent she is. She rambles on about this and that and just convinces everyone on the parole board that she needs to stay right where she is.

Its ridiculousl how long it took them to arrest her. How would a total stranger know that there was a child asleep under her sweater on the floor board? Her story is absurd.

"Cuz, you know, you wanna know who you're supposed to cry for." 25:00. As in, give me stage directions, I don't know how to act cuz I'm a psycho, you gotta splain it to me."

I dont know about anyone else but I would have been distraught, I don't think I would have been telling them all that crap about bloody cake and work and pets, I would have been totally focused on what happened to my children! She's crazy! It's like nothing happened! In fact I can't listen to much more of "Diane's life"

Any mother would jump toward to grab the gun away from a man shooting her children. The lies she told are unreal. It would be a natural primal instinct. This woman is evil. Pure evil.

At this point, she wasn't able to see her children freely. If my children had been shot, myself, one dead, the others critical AND they wouldn't let me see my children...I would have been out of my mind in grief, horror, emotional exhaustion, trauma and sadness that they would have had to sedate me or put me on suicidal watch. No way a mother would be as calm as her. I would have hardly been able to do any interviews let alone one where I was calm. I always had normal, slight doubts watching her interviews. Not after this. This is horrible and I wish we knew the real truth of what happened that day. Idk if she shot them or had help but I know she did it. That is a voice that feels nothing.

This floozy put men before her precious children..Despicable

If her dad had truly molested her, there’s no way a mother would leave her children around him.

Who stops at stop signs n stop lights after your kid's were shot 🤔 I'd never be that calm n collected if my kid's had been shot! I wouldn't even be able to breathe. How can u tell so many stories n laugh after such a tragedy 😡😪

Oh my goodness. She is inhuman

Thanks, looking forward to this❣️

For something that only lasted a few minutes she sure had time to think things out huh? Her story was so unbelievable and rehearshed.. I despise this woman. Talking to people would never take any parents mind off losing their kids.. Shes insane!

Wahnsinn, vielen Dank. Als Ann Rules Buch rauskam und dann der Film in Deutschland, war ich fassungslos. Leider gibt es in Deutschland wenig über sie. Ich kenne die Szene aus dem Film, wie sie im Krankenhaus liegt und jetzt ihre Originalstimme zu hören, wie sie redet, Tonfall- unfassbar. Leider ist der Übersetzer nicht so gut, aber es reicht. Vielen Dank für die vielen Videos und was da evtl. noch kommt.

DEAR DD TV: I can't wait for the 2 men in ski masks phone convo with Knick, as you promised in chat! It's weird how often I listen to everything you've uploaded, but now I'm a confirmed dd addict, and need my next fix. Love, An obsessed subscriber :))

What an evil thing, not her favorite, not a tear wow evil evil.

The sign of a liar is someone that adds a bunch of useless information that they believe will make you think they are telling the truth.

Wondering when part two will be released? Thank you.

As a mother... with children who had been shot... I'd be a wreck 😫... absolutely nothing...from her... my favorite?? Who as a mother has a favorite child??? WTF

it is also telling she focused on "calling the cops" but not "GET MU CHILDREN MEDICAL HELP NOW!!" Her priorities were messed up. When she talks about the child under the sweater and then says: "she is the one that died..." wow that hurt

They should have the Nurse come in and say, so your kids were shot and 1 is dead, every few minutes.

She wouldn't even let him get a word in.

When she describes christies look of "terror or confusion" while being shot. How did you get a clear look on her face. Shouldn't you be focusing on fighting the man that was shooting and murdering your kids! You can tell shes guilty right there!!!!

I would love to hear from people that knew her back in the day…before the shooting. She gives…floozie. 🤷🏻‍♀️

She was up for parole this year. The hearing is on RU-vid. She is still as cold as ice.

She doesn't have any emotion at all. Very very sad for the children. Listen to her parole hearings. That's even worse.

"I don't want to see who's dead, I want to see who's alive". She's out of her Flippin mind if she thinks these are appropriate things to say.

Even in the way she talks it's like she's on a mission to convince you of her story. She is very kooky!

Detective is probably thinking "...she's a Loon"

"I'm a real conscientious mother"- she seems to care more for her precious "bundt cake" than her babies! And I don't care how many "old friends" I spoke to, it would never, for one second, take my mind off the fact that my kids had been shot!??

Her laughing and making jokes 😡🤬

Did the children even have dinner that night?!?! What a mom !!🤮🤢

New subscriber here! Going over these videos. Thanks for posting ❤

She thought she had this in the bag!

It always struck me strange, cops felt she washed gun powder residue off at the hospital. I wonder if they checked her car steering wheel for gunpowder residue

Did she just say Christie was her favorite?😳. This lady needs to be put down, I'm sorry 😢

Not one tear for entire easy Convo for first 30mins She in a better mood than me if my children just got attacked and 1 murdered she been detached from any human emotions Ice Cold hearted no heart racing no panic no trauma just wow no tears at all no remorse

I might have believed her up until the towel. You can tell she didn't quite think through the towel story and how it got on her arm That's where it starts to fall apart.

She thinks she loves her children even more than her husband 🙄..wtf!!!

She said she had a favorite child. 😢

“I think I love the kids even more than you…” 30:13 What?? I’d hope so!

She's talking about a neighbor who hung himself, that's what she is talking about

Where are the part two, and so on of her interrogations? I just keep listening as I push for the next and their repeats, except for her 2020 parole hearing. Then there was no update on what they said to Diane Diwns after the fact.

"and I said to nick, I might love the kids more than you" Oh. My. God

Thank you so much!

How can she talk so much when she knows she telling lies and just keep on talking and talking😢😢😢😢😢

That’s one scary sociopath. I’m more than happy that she’s never going to get out.

Thank you very much 4:50 . . . . . . . (Inspects card) . . . . . (They weren't from Knick) So, um.... we went to the blahblah The fact that the flowers weren't from him, you could hear the sadness in her "so, um..."

22:37. Casually, she talks about _cleaning up after having sex_ - to a police officer (a male, a complete stranger) in the same tone as 'you know, like how we make sure our kids brush their teeth after meals' - and all because of some lights going on and off in a house late at night! It um, cough, kinda gives us a window into her mindset, dunnit. ;))

"I know she didn't suffer.."????

I absolutely cannot listen to this monster. She is truly one of the scariest people I’ve ever heard of. No emotions whatsoever.

I don't know, some people talk in this manner about horrors that happen to their children/siblings to distance themselves from the tragedy: Look at Burke R. he was smiling talking about his murdered sister- experts say that is his mechanism to cope with it all. Maybe this is hers? I don't know. Did the police check her hands/arms for powder burns from the gun????? You never hear of that at all. I mean, that would prove it 100% yet I have NEVER EVER heard they found powder burns on her hands/arms. I am no saying she is innocent but that would prove it. ALso years ago on our small private road by the lake where I grew up a man attacked me- which just didn't happen where I grew up NEVER, it was very safe there -- I don't want to go into it here in detail, but I was in the hospital EIGHT days and I am a total germ freak-I was freaking out because I hate hospitals. After a few days there, all of a sudden eveyrthing changed: the cops/investigators were saying there alf- I mean my head on the sidee was so battered it perforated my ear drum, blood all over the place debris in mytemple area, it was horrid I had double vision for over a week, I was so nauseuous I couldn't move my eyes at all I had to keep them straight ahead at all times, I couldn't lay down I had to sleep sitting up or else I would get SO dizzy and throw up- I couldn't understand WHY they were insinuating this. This case made me think of that incident with me because maybe there WAS a man that stopped her. I man stopped me asking about a lost kitten of which I SAW the flyers on that road so I thought it was a man that lived in one of the side roads there. When DD said that about a man approached her car, maybe she thought he needed some assistance or something. She also inferred they weren't investigaing this person that she said apporached her car or something to that affect, SAME with me, they told me after a couple of months to, in essence, leave them alone, stop asking about the investiagion and to this day 25 years later no one was charged even though I picked the man out of 66 photos in three different photos, and they were shocked I was able to do that --because he looked different in each of the three photos; (he WAS seen in that road talking to home owners who were friends of his a few weeks before I think it said), . SO that made me think about what she is saying here.

Did they look in the rapids for the gun? The way she addresses the rapids struck me as odd. She then speaks of the bridge over the McKenzie river. I’m just wondering if they stuck a super strong magnet in the rapids to look for the weapon, since those would be difficult to search otherwise.

it is also weird that she mentions that crystie was her favorite. i didn't know parents had favorites and admitted which one was the favorite. it is also weird she says that given that she knows her other daughter died.

“ Which is ridiculous because he was on foot and couldn’t catch her”. Gee I thought you were driving fast to save your kids.

She mentions her hurt arm twice as much and with more emotion than ever mentioning her kids with any emotion much less a giggle...

the lady horse story.... did this woman was ever interviewd about diane and her kids being there at that time ?

idk how anne rule called her stunning and beautiful so many times in the (awesome) book she wrote about diane downs (also a great Oprah episode), but I dont see it w the broad brow, sunken and inset eyes, tiny mouth and her overpowering chin, but okay. jodi arias gives her a good run for the money.

this interrogation scares me. I think she waited to get to the hospital till she heard that christie was no longer breathing. she wanted to ensure that Christie was dead. surprisingly, christie did make it. i think she took great pleasure of when christie was reaching out to her and had the blood gushing out of her. she talks a lot about it and smiles in future interviews. here she did not mention it. what do others think? Thanks for posting these

Can't wait to hear this crazines

You can see how selfish she is by the car she purchased,that ain't a family car at all,no room for the kids 😔 or for shopping either 😔, selfish hard hearted woman PERIOD 😞. Godbless the prosecutor and his wife for adopting these beautiful innocent 😇 children,and godbless the other parents who adopted her innocent 😇 baby 🍼 back then too.🙏♥️
