Diane escaped so she could get pregnant again by another inmates husband. She was found 1 mile from the prison. If her goal was to escape she could have been 1,000 miles away
How dumb can one be to escape from prison? Especially when you claim to be innocent? An innocent person would not jeopardize adding more years on to their sentence by escaping or trying to escape. PS The guy who hid her, Wayne Seifer received five years probation and a six month restitution punishment afterwards for aiding and abetting a fugitive.

It is so hard to believe that someone, (especially a mother) could do such a horrific thing to her children. God bless those surviving beautiful babies always. Diane Downs, Casey Antnony, and Susan Smith are the most horrible monster creatures we can imagine. I am sure there are many more we don't know of.
Yes and the fathers too. I can’t get over Chris Watts killing his daughters (and of course his pregnant wife ) . He even stuffed the girls into small holes in the oil tanks.
The first time Diane tried to kill her kids was when she took them to a river in the middle of the night and would hide behind the trees and jump out suddenly like trying to scare the children so they trip and fall in the river.
She smiles at everyone, when she walks down by them, because she thinks others find her attractive. She thought she looked like Princess Diana, because of her hair being blonde, and feathered. In addition, to her blue eyes. BUT not even in the way she took in oxygen was she like princess Diana. Diana was beautiful, inside and out, and Princess Diana loved her sons.
You don't know what you're talking about. I can't stand self-proclaimed body language experts. Human behavior is far too complicated and nuanced than you think. Furthermore, I never thought Princess Di was that pretty anyways.
I got that vibe from her, too, especially since her name was Diane. While Princess Diana was shy and soft spoken, Diane Downs came across confident and matter of fact while talking constantly so people would pay attention to her.
"Christie and Danny need to know I'm okay for their own peace of mind"??!?!?!? Like seriously? For the pure fact that she SHOT her kids, she ain't got ish to say about peace of mind. Plus, she never mentions Cheryl. Funny how it's always the second-born that's overlooked
It’s always about her and her well being. 🙄 I heard that she killed Christy because she was “ugly “. That’s what Diane said or inferred. The middle kid usually is the one who has it the worst it seems. I was the 2nd born middle kid and both of my parents wanted me dead! They did just about everything they could to ensure that I committed suicide. They were decent to my other two siblings though.
08.07.2023 @@christar9527 Ohh myyy ... that's horrible!!! I'm so sorry that your parents treated you in that manor. They certainly didn't deserve having you💜 as their child. Hope that you have recovered some & have made a much better, loving & joyful life for yourself.❤️
I’m was always shocked that no one in women’s prison didn’t punish her for her crimes! Even inmates have rules and they don’t like anyone who hurts children much less your own !😡
Men and women are very different. Women are more understanding and willing to forgive, it's in their nature. It's male prisoners who kill other prisoners for crimes against children, not female.
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.“
She is not worth the name mother. A mother stands for love, a save home, caring, raising, values, learning, giving hope, faith etc. (Also a father btw😊❤)
"They need to know I'm okay for her own peace of mind." This is her reasoning for Christie's adoptive father to, what, lose custody or for her to be allowed to pester the poor child? It's unimaginable what Fred Hugi has been through to protect his children from this implacable monster. Diane's been trying nonstop for 40 years to get her hands on her ex daughter.
Wow! Never seen some of this footage..she is so bizarre the whole escape going to some dudes house ect..can't believe she didn't end up pregnant also her hair is always different such a trip !!!!
Well she attempted to get pregnant by this man the 10 days that she was there with him. I actually believe that they were in the middle of sexual intercourse when the cops came to the house and found them in the bedroom together.
She is the most evil person I've ever studied. I like psychology and this woman has me baffled. I can't believe she still tries to maintain her innocence. The parole board has always wanted a confession. Might have had a better chance however she never deserves to see the light of day again.
Springfield? Why didn't she state, that the man who shot her, and her children was Bart Simpson. She should have, because the story of the bushy haired stranger is just as comical.

You know what it looks like in those demonic movies when, the demon takes a hold of its host, the gaping darkness, black pits for eyes and the white around them, it’s unmistakable once you see it. You can see through her eyes that something darker has a hold of her.
All responsibility was put onto Christie. Danny was too young. I think that girl stood up like a champion and did exactly the right thing! And the prosecutor adopts them? That is definitely not seen every day. Diane was evil and God made sure they ended up better off. Don't people know that spirituality is the missing sense everyone looks for.

She said she was looking for shaggy hair man, why did she stay in town, she what to get pedant again, and say it was the shaggy hair man was the father.
You know the DA and his wife adopted Christie and Danny, right? He was focused on protecting them. I taped that movie when it 1st aired so I've watched it more times than I can count. Small Sacrifices was the 2nd true crime book I ever read. He and Christie developed a strong bond from their 1st meeting.

That's why I'm here amazing film . didn't even know she had escaped until it told us so at the end of the film

Yep, she is so psychopathic that she even can't hide the monster inside her. She is pretty much on top of the soziopath scala

I noticed that, too.
4:31 I think knowledge that this monster is “okay” might not comfort the children. Christie testified that her mother pulled the trigger! Cringe.
