What did Diane Downs do?

The "mommy murderess" allegedly planned an attack to "free" herself from the burden of her three children, Christie, Cheryl, and Stephen, with husband Steve Downs.

The murder plot was reportedly part of her plan to be with the man she was infatuated with, who reportedly told her he did not want children.

Diane drove her car to a remote roadside in Springfield, Oregon, where she shot her three children and herself in the forearm in May of 1983.

She then drove at a pace of between 5-7 mph to the local hospital, according to witnesses, where she claimed she had been car-jacked by a stranger who shot herself and her children.

By the time Diane arrived at the hospital, Cheryl, who was 7 at the time, was already dead and the other two children had suffered devastating injuries.

Becky's half-sister Christie was able to be revived but left with a speech impediment.
