    My sister forced me to watch this doc when it came out because she was absolutely obsessed with what happened. I finished the doc and was so confused, asked her if I had missed something. She was like “it’s just so MyStErIoUs!” No? It isn’t? This is a family that can’t cope with the fact that their loved one isn’t exactly who they thought she was. She did a horrible thing but it’s worse that her family is more concerned with defending her honor than letting the victims’ families have any amount of peace.

      Her family were the main victims. The Hansen family were part of Diane’s family, too. Do you think his brother and sister-in-law missed all of the drinking too and allowed their three girls to be murdered? Everyone was shocked. No way. I had been complaining about tooth pain for years since 2007 and a dentist gave me an emergency root canal even though they saw no evidence of cavities. I still felt pain. They recently found the nerve had regrown or wandered and needed to be removed. I had to see a special endodontic dentist. It can be extremely painful and easy to detect.

They did what they were supposed to do they called somebody no one did anything about it no one stopped it.. that's the sad fact of it that no one did anything and come and get her. Not dishing out personal problems here but I have had to intervene before when someone needed help. That was physically going and picking that person up so that they didn't do something like this. But you're talking about very young children that don't know what to do.. the only thing that could have done beyond that is try to escape the car on a highway maybe even an interstate not knowing where, maybe try to flag someone down? Again we're talking about an interstate or a main Highway. Well maybe not everyone was going 70 or 80 miles per hour it's a good bet that they were going too fast for children to be out trying to get someone to stop for them. If I were 8 to 9 years old the cars would be more terrifying then an aunt acting erratically.

    "Who starts their day with getting drunk??" - Actually, it's a sure sign of someone being an alcoholic. I myself haven't done that a lot, but sometimes it seems the only logical thing to do, especially when you're depressed, under a lot of stress, or still drunk from the night before. So, I'm not really surprised Diane could've begun drinking that day as early as 7 a.m. and kept doing it until her final moments.

      It's also possible the trip inside the gas station was to see whether they sold hard liquor, and the request for Tylenol was a ruse for the clerk once Diane determined her beverage of choice was not sold there (thus meaning she would need to resort to the vodka packed in the van).

    It’s difficult to reconcile the toxicology findings with who Diane was as a person. But both can be true. She could’ve been a wonderful mother, wife, aunt, sister, and friend, who was privately suffering from a serious addiction. That’s another sad aspect of this tragedy - had her friends and family known about her struggle, they could’ve gotten her help and potentially prevented this from occurring. She clearly had a very loving family and it’s so unfortunate that her own self-shame prevented her from reaching out to them for help. May God bless everyone who lost their lives that day.

      I agree that she was likely privately struggling with addiction. If you’re someone who grew up taking care of everyone (as I know the documentary touches on her “doing everything” in the house after her mother left and her being the one to take care of her family), it’s likely that you probably wouldn’t feel like you could come forward and talk about the issues that you’re having and that you’d just try to handle it on your own

We don't know what Diane ate that morning. The fact that she was throwing up definitely could be her body trying to get rid of the alcohol it had produced in her body. May they all Rest in Peace with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and I hope the families have been healing from this.

They were happy and fine, and they told her that she couldn’t come to see them yet, as she still had things to do on Earth. I believe they may have even referenced there being another baby, but I’m not sure. Anyway, after that is when she had her 4th daughter.

He got the store manager involved to unlock the door and I told the manager what was going on. He called the police who took me back to my mom's house. Never saw or heard from my dad again.

      There actually is another reasonable explanation. She had a bad tooth abscess, as confirmed by dental records. It was so bad that she needed to get a root canal, but she was extremely fearful of dental procedures and walked out. Why do you think people get root canals? What could possibly come from a tooth abscess?
      A brain infection... and what are the symptoms of a brain infection from a tooth abscess? Confusion, irritability, issues with nerve function, blurry or gray vision, headache, vomiting, stiffness... All of these symptoms align with what Diane appeared to experience that day.
      You might say... why didn't they find that in the autopsy? They don't regularly look for tooth abscesses in an autopsy. To test for a brain infection, it requires a spinal tap to look for the presence of bacteria in the brain. They would not have followed through with a spinal tap once they found alcohol and THC in her system.
      Also, a large portion of her upper right jaw and several teeth were MISSING and never found. You know what type of abscesses commonly lead to brain infections? Those around the upper molars. She was seen touching the right side of her face as she left the gas station after asking for pain medicine. Her friend said she was touching that side of her face the previous week, seemingly out of pain. I think she was looking for Benzocaine and they didn't have it, because why would a little gas station convenience store carry such a specific type of pain medicine? Ibuprofen wouldn't cut it for this, she was looking for pain gel to rub on her tooth.
      As for how the alcohol and THC got in her system, it was either out of confusion or delirious desperation to self-medicate the intense pain she was feeling from an abscessed tooth and brain infection.

I read the autopsy (it's public and you can find it on Google) and there's no mention of an abscess, though they noted that her jaw was majorly fractured and many pieces and teeth were missing. It also does not mention if a spinal tap was done or not, which would have been able to look for bacteria in her brain. She definitely, 100% had alcohol and weed in her system, I just think it got there unintentionally. I think she was in extreme pain from the abscess and perhaps something like a brain infection would impact her eye sight and logic, causing her to self-medicate with the alcohol and weed. Unfortunately I don't think we'll ever know the exact truth of what happened, but I prefer my theory because I don't think there's enough evidence to say she was a chronic alcoholic and did it intentionally, considering the behavior is totally out of character according to those who knew her and saw her regularly.

    A few things that come to mind as a paramedic listening to this story:
    1) when they said she was in pain my immediate thought was stroke or some sort of seizure
    2) The blood alcohol level, and that early in the morning, leads me to believe that she was drunk &/or an alcoholic
    3) chronic alcoholism puts you at higher risk for spontaneous bleeding -- like in your brain. Bleeding in the brain is called a hemorrhagic stroke. Strokes can cause severe headaches, vision changes, nausea & vomiting, and altered mental status
    4) An accident that severe I can see it being difficult to tell if the bleeding was present prior to the accident, or because of it. However, I'm not a doctor.

    I watched the documentary three times and read the Bastardi s book. In the doc there was a list of all the medications Diane had been prescribed. One of those was Ambien. This was at a time where it was the first generation of Ambien which was known to cause bizarre behavior. Sleep-walking, eating while asleep , driving while asleep and having no recollection of it the next day. I believe that disane took Ambien, drank and smoked and was literally out of her mind when she was driving and this is what caused the accident. There has since been a change in the formulary of ambien

      also in several of kendall’s videos where the people just start acting bizarre, they’ve smoked weed. weed gets laced. K2 is often in street weed and can cause all kinds of issues like hallucinations and paranoia. within the last year 2 people that i know of died from fentanyl laced weed. i’m not saying fentanyl caused this, i’m using it as an example for weed being laced with all kinds of stuff. weed is legal in colorado so i don’t think kendall knows too much about laced bud but i’m surprised i haven’t seen a comment about it.

      I incline to believe something like that happened to her. She was in some bizarre state of mind due to some chemicals she took or even a psycosis. Weed can cause psyhosis for example. I think as there were many witnesses who claimed she was completely sober, then it must be that something happened to her mind that made her drinking during driving. Either this medication or she just went literally crazy on the way home.

    there is this thing called trigeminal neuralgia, a chronic pain condition affecting the trigeminal nerve in the face. It's most common in women over age 50
    Symptoms range from mild to severe facial pain, often triggered by chewing, speaking, or brushing the teeth.
    Reason i’m bringing this up is because it might explain why her friend thought she had a tooth ache but they found nothing wrong with her tooth!!! My mom found out she had trigeminal neuralgia at 40 and before she knew what it was she just thought it was a really bad tooth ache. Trigeminal neuralgia is often called the ‘suicide disease’ because the pains can get so bad you can’t stand them.
    I feel like Diane could have possibly had this and been trying to cope with all the pain that day. Her stopping to get pain medication makes a lot of sense and when she found out they didn’t have any she probably went with the only thing she could to escape the pain. (these pains are known to drive people to kill themselves) Whether she was high or drunk it was not the responsible thing to do but this might explain some things

      Ooh this is really interesting! Regardless of where her pain came from, either physical or physiological, it must have been so bad that she completely lost sight of what was responsible or reasonable to do. Sometimes when you're in pain this bad (like what you mentioned) you'll forget everything that's going on around you and get tunnel vision. She honestly was probably in so much pain (and trying to ease the pain by using weed/alcohol) that she may have forgotten the kids were even there. Or, the kids were freaking out, which made her pain worse, and she literally just went crazy from everything going on. Everyone said she looked 'normal' while driving, but she probably actually just snapped from pain/sensory overload and went into a different state altogether. That might explain her inability to consider the kids and other cars around her. It may also explain how she was unable to articulate over the phone that she wasn't doing okay, her body was compartmentalizing to deal with the pain.
      Obviously, I'm not a dr. so I really have no idea, but I think this 'suicide disease' explanation is better than a tooth abscess (which wasn't found) or being a drunk (which was out of character).

      @@fluoritefox5040 I know what you mean. Living in a Winnipeg and we were still shook, can't imagine what the poor people of Gillam were thinking 😫 Had a trip planned to go up to Roblin and Riding Mountain area we kept saying "Jeez I hope they're caught by the time we have to leave" Jokeingly. The day we left was when the cops found their bodies 😲

      Suspected to have murdered 3 people. They were charged with one and suspects in the other two. Innocent until proven guilty. Sadly they are dead so we will never know.

    What kind of pain reliever could she be looking for at that convenience store?
    There’s primarily Tylenol and Advil available OTC and I find it impossible to believe the store had neither of these.
