Book excerpt: Diane took a different way home - she liked to explore. She wanted to learn the area. And even though it was a school night and she really should have had her kids to bed a couple of hours earlier, she decided it was okay to take a little longer getting home. With the soft humming of the tires on the highway, and the music playing, she noticed all three of her children had soon fallen asleep. It was peaceful. She sang along with her music. She told herself that her children were happy. And for a split second Diane allowed herself to feel happy too. As she drove down the highway, Diane thought about the big house that she would soon be able to afford for her children. She had no idea that within just a few miles all of her hopes and dreams, and her children, would be forever stripped away.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At 22.48pm on May 19th, 1983, a young, single mother pulled up outside McKenzie-Willamette Hospital in Springfield, Oregon, in a blood-spattered Nissan Pulsar, repeatedly shouting that someone had shot her children. Hospital staff rushed to the car and found three children slumped inside. The mother, Diane Downs, had herself been shot in the left arm, which was wrapped in a blood-soaked towel. As medics frantically tried to save the lives of the little ones, Diane told police that a man had flagged her down on the Old Mohawk Road, and demanded her car. When she had refused, he had leant into the car and shot her three children. According to Diane, she had struggled with the man who had then shot her in the arm. Pretending to throw the car keys into a field, she managed to distract the man long enough to get in her car and drive away, in a desperate bid to get the children to the hospital in time to save them. Tragically, 7-year-old Cheryl was already dead, and, although still alive, 3-year-old Danny and 8-year-old Christie were in a critical condition. The bone in Diane's arm was shattered. While the people of Oregon, and the wider community, reeled in shock at this heinous crime and fearful of the bushy haired killer whom Diane had described, and who was still at large, the police were turning their attention to someone closer to home - the mother herself, Diane Downs.
