UPDATE: Diane Downs-- A Mother’s Betrayal

This is a re-air of the June 2025 episode The Case of Diane Downs: A Mother's Betrayal, with an update from May of 2026, including Downs' petition for evidence from the scene to be tested for DNA. On May 19, 1983, Diane Downs drove her wounded children to a hospital in Springfield, Oregon, claiming they were victims of a carjacking by a mysterious stranger. But as investigators dug deeper, the story twisted into something far more sinister. In this haunting episode of Same Crime, Different Time, host Jennifer Chambers revisits one of Oregon’s most infamous cases: the shocking betrayal of a mother who put her desires ahead of her children’s lives. We’ll unravel the chilling timeline of events, examine Diane’s disturbing psychological profile, and walk through the dramatic trial that captivated the nation. From eyewitness accounts to eerie interviews and deeply personal local ties, this case still sends chills through the Pacific Northwest. Listener discretion advised. This is not just true crime—it’s history with blood on its hands.
