[@mitsverdi5832]

She did mention both of them before the alcohol question. I think back then she was immature & chronically depressed. Today, she still has a childish mind and I doubt her maternal instinct. How can you raise children when you are a child yourself ? By her own account: " I grew up". Doubtful..... However, her two little boys will never get a second chance. 😢 💔🙏 Children may be at a greater risk with depressed parents.

[@sixtysense]

@mitsverdi5832 After all this time, if she grew emotionally at all, she should be all about the beautiful children whose lives she took unnecessarily. Her heartbreak would be visible.

[@stellabeatle]

If she truly felt the pain she caused, if she was truly remorseful for murdering her children, she would never want to get out of prison. She'd want to stay there because she'd know that's what she deserves. I was a young mother with a son the same age as one of Susan's sons. I don't know how to articulate it but this crime captured the nation and it was heartbreaking. We all felt it. I'm getting choked up now just thinking about it all these years later. No parole should ever be granted this woman.

[@sarahmurphy-nf4yl]

I don't know about this case or how old her children but is there any chance she could have post natal depression?? As I said I know nothing about this case but post natal depression does cause.women to do horrendous things thst they wouldn't ordinary do.

[@Sookielein]

​ @sarahmurphy-nf4yl Her sons were three and one so technically yes. However the 'motivation' for killing her children was a rich man she had an affair with who didn't want children and he was ending the affair because of that shortly before the murders. Personally I do think there are women murdering their children in a state of pschosis because of post partum depression however I don't know of a case where the woman immidiatley afterwards tries to cover her crime by lying, inventing a fictional suspect and stand in front of a bunch of cameras and speak to the nation begging to find her children.

[@ChosenbyGodprotectedbyJesus]

So glad her parole was denied. 30 years ago it was a LIFE SENTENCE, then the Courts or whatever changed the rules/intention. Those on that jury must feel betrayed, in that their intention when they declared her guilty was that it would be for her entire life. 😢😢😢

Agreed Judy. I’m 55, I’m a native Oregonian…. The Diane Downs case was HUGE when I was a kid. HUGE….so I’ve followed it very closely through out the years. Diane Downs has been officially diagnosed with with narcissistic, histrionic, and antisocial personality disorders, and one Dr also formally labelling her as a "deviant sociopath” … that and with her escape attempt in 1987 also, mixed with her very serious mental issues… I doubt she will ever see the light of day behind bars. Thank God! Diane has zero respect for human life and zero respect for normal laws that we all must abide by. At least she can no longer have more children. That ship sailed many years ago, thank heavens! There is a really good documentary about her youngest daughter, whom was adopted out. It’s so good!

What bothers me is that the sentance was so light. 30 years to life? As her ex husband said "that is only 15 years per child she killed". Now the family has to go through this every two years? Thats not right. If they even have a parole hearing it should be evey 10 years or at a minimum 5 years between them. Make the parole hearing mean something.

[@Dustandfuzz]

Every two years is ridiculous. She won’t learn anything in two years if that’s what they want. Just hurting the family over and over again. She wasn’t a juvenile when she did the deed.
