Diane Downs' daughter was on one of those news shows - 60 minutes or 20/20, whichever is on ABC. Fascinating interview. I felt so sorry for her but it made me again question the nature vs nurture theories. I'd like to hear opinions.

I read the book when it first came out. It was riveting. Classic story of an evil malignant narcissist. It's interesting to watch her spin her lying web in the video without a trace of remorse. She lies so easily and is a bully as well. Her poor kids.
I also saw the recent interview with her daughter, born after the murder and attempted murders, conceived during the time her mother was a prison escapee. She said she tried to develop a relationship with the half sister who survived the attack but that it didn't work out.

YouTube suggested this video to me about a week ago. I've wanted to see this for years, and must have watched it on full 4 or 5 times already.
Boy, Diane just [bold]loved[/bold] to be in front of the camera, didn't she. Yeah, it's really believable that her ex-husband told their recovering daughter to her face that "he'd never given her anything".
"I had many lovers, I didn't need Nick". Her diaries told a different story.

She seemed as if she thought she was Diana Spencer’s doppelgänger by the way she did her hair and by her affectations. She did have the same buggy eyes and small mouth and boxy chin, but she was much uglier than Di of course. Very strange person. I wonder what happened to her to make her so mentally sick.

She claimed that her father molested her when she was twelve. It was brought up during her trial, but she later denied it after Ann Rule's book came out.

Whoa... I was just thinking about this interview the other day for some reason and was wondering what had happened to the children the prosecutor and his wife adopted after their mother's trial. I actually watched this interview at the time it aired, and remember it well. Had read Ann Rule's book (and all her subsequent books, I was so impressed by Small Sacrifices) after reading about the Downs case in a Washington Post article the year before this interview. Diane Downs was an unbelievably facile liar, so facile that Ann Rule never comes off very well in this interview. It just goes to show how people like Diane Downs (whose instinctive, automatic lying reminded me of Donald Trump's) are total steamrollers.

I remember watching this as a kid after school, when it originally aired. I remember the audience members' gasps, shocked facial expressions, and nervous giggles.
I wonder if Diane Downs could pass a lie detector test; she lies so easily, it seems like she believes what she's saying. But, her emotions are off.

Where's that horrible 'delay' they have now, like on The View where they keep talking over each other? In the olden days it was immediate, like they were talking on the phone.

The two surviving children that Diane shot have always wanted privacy, so not much is known about them. As was mentioned above, they were adopted by the prosecutor who got Diane convicted. (I wonder if they still have contact with their biological father, and if he was around them much after Diane's arrest.)
While Diane was awaiting trial, she got knocked up again, and she delivered the baby in jail. The state put the baby up for adoption. This daughter has participated in several media interviews over the years. On 20/20, she met with Anne Rule, and she described how she had exchanged letters with Diane before their tentative relationship crashed and burned (because of Diane's behavior).
I don't think she can ever be let out of prison. Her three bio-children would probably live in fear.

Farrah was decent but I wish she/the production had put in some effort into having her physically transform into the character. She looked like Farrah with bad girl hair during the entire miniseries!

Oprah usurped Phil Donahue, and things got dumbed-down. Oprah is all over the place, and makes it all about herself.
Ann Rule is like Truman Capote had a sex change.
Interview with her brother, who seems the total opposite personality type from her.

I looked both Ann and Diane up today.
“Rule's family and publisher, Simon & Schuster, announced on July 26, 2015, that Rule had died a day earlier as a result of congestive heart failure. Her death followed an emergency-room visit because of a heart attack. Rule had been moved to hospice care the day before her death.[5][24][25][26]. “ Ann was 83.
This link has a recent picture of Diane, now 65.
I remember when all of this happened. It was huge news at the time. I read Small Sacrifices and watched the TV movie with Farrah.
