## Resource

On a quiet Oregon highway in 1983, a mother claimed a stranger stepped out of the dark and destroyed her family. It was a lie.In this episode, we examine Diane Downs, a woman who shot her three children, killed one of them, and then calmly rewrote reality in front of police, doctors, jurors, and the nation.We trace the night of the shootings, the unraveling carjacking narrative, chilling courtroom behavior, and the moment investigators realized they weren’t dealing with a grieving mother; but a remorseless architect of violence.
