What a CreepSeason 24, Episode 7Diane DownsDiane Downs gained infamy for the 1983 shooting of her three children, one of whom died, in Springfield, Oregon. The case became highly publicized due to the shocking nature of the crime and the subsequent investigation and trial. On May 19, 1983, Diane Downs drove her children to a rural road and shot them at close range. She then drove VERY SLOWLY to a hospital, claiming that a “bushy-haired stranger” had shot her and her children during a carjacking attempt. However, inconsistencies in her story and evidence led investigators to suspect her involvement in the crime. Anne Rule’s book Small Sacrifices was turned into a TV movie starring Farah Fawcett and Ryan O’Neal that garnered huge ratings. Trigger Warning: Child abuse & murder.Sources:Diane Downs Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diane_DownsWillamette Weekly: https://www.wweek.com/news/2023/10/04/oregons-parole-board-isnt-likely-to-release-diane-downs-anytime-soon/ABC News: https://abcnews.go.com/US/1983-diane-downs-stranger-shot-kids-police-decided/story?id=61683920Crime Museum: https://www.crimemuseum.org/crime-library/famous-murders/diane-downs/Distractify: https://www.distractify.com/p/diane-downs-children-nowAll That is Interesting: https://allthatsinteresting.com/diane-downsSmall Sacrifices by Ann Rule: https://www.amazon.com/Small-Sacrifices-Story-Passion-Murder/dp/0451166604Diane Downs on Oprah! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsMXTsU4eqEDiane’s daughter: https://abcnews.go.com/2020/video/diane-downs-biological-daughter-finds-truth-birth-mom-618806721989 TV Movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fUk6XsmIAEFor our non-creep, check out Camp Hope for Kids, a nonprofit camp for grieving families.
