This week on the Mothers of All Crime we are chatting about Diane Downs. She rose to public attention after claiming a "shaggy haired stranger" shot her and her 3 young children. Hospital staff, witnesses and the police noted that she didn't seem upset and her behavior wasn't very motherly. A trial by media began as all of Diane's sordid secrets were revealed. Eventually a real criminal trial would ensue. Diane was 9 months pregnant when she was given a life sentence (with possibility of parole). There are some uplifting parts in this dark story with the surviving children. We also have a bit of a chuckle reviewing Mrs. Down's many attempts at parole. Join us as we discuss this mother murderer.
