Is Diane Downs Still Alive, Where Is She Now? Details to Know as Abc 20/20 Reveals Her Children’s Story
Diane Downs is responsible for killing her own daughter, Cheryl. She had also shot two of her other children.
On May 19, 1983, Downs used a .22 caliber handgun to shoot her three children.
Seven years old Cheryl was already dead when she was taken to McKenzie-Willamette Hospital in Springfield.
Her son Danny of just three years was paralyzed from the waist down and eight-year-old Christie had suffered a serious stroke.
The mother herself was shot in her left forearm. At first, Down had blamed a strange man for the traumatic event.
However, the forensic evidence denied her story. Ultimately, the investigator proved her guilty of discovering the murdered weapon.
Furthermore, the mother of three was labeled a deviant “sociopath” with borer line and antisocial personality disorders.
