Diane Downs

[Ptarmigan]

This is before Casey Anthony, there was Diane Downs. Diane Downs is this evil mother in Oregon who shot 3 of her kids, Christie, Cheryl, and Stephen (Danny), killing Cheryl in 1983. She blamed it on a carjacker for the crime. She was pregnant during the trial and gave birth. She was sentenced to life imprisonment and 50 years in prison. She escaped in 1987 only to be caught again. There is a book and movie based on it called Small Sacrifices. It starred the late Farrah Fawcett as Diane Downs. She is considered by many to be a poster child of a psychopath.

Diane Downs is really sick and deranged. I saw an interview with one of her daughter, Rebecca Babcock, who was born during the trial. She was really horrified by her mother being Diane Downs. She even tried to write a letter and Downs told her "Get out of my life". Downs is a typical psychopath, we see so often with evil, like Islamists, mass murderers, and dictators.
