Hey friends!
 
 On this podcast, we will be talking about all thing’s crime. From murder, to missing persons, to mass shootings, to just plain old spooky! Layered with some lighthearted humor...and some not so lighthearted humor. Please be advised that this podcast is filled with adult content and explicit language; listener discretion is advised.      

On  todays episode we are discussing the insane case of Diane Downs

On May 19th 1983 , while driving home from a friends house Diane Downs and her 3 children were waved down by a “bushy haired stranger”  to pull over. After pulling over, Diane is attacked by the man as he attempts to car jack her and he shoots her 3 small children. Diane manages to escape and “drives like a lunatic” to be hospital after being shot herself, in the arm. Or so Diane claims…. But we come to learn the kind of crazy that Diane is. Listen to find out what happens!

Please keep Christie, Cheryl, and Danny in your thoughts.

Trigger: graphic descriptions and discussion of small children being harmed
