This week, Angela takes the wheel — literally — as she drives us through the wild, winding, and wildly self-absorbed saga of Diane Downs, the mom who claimed a “bushy-haired stranger” shot her children on a dark Oregon road. With just the right blend of disbelief and dark humor, Angela peels back Diane’s tangled motives: forbidden love, jealousy, and a dangerous case of main-character syndrome. As Marguerite gasps, groans, and occasionally shouts “She WHAT?!,” the ladies steer us straight into the heart of one of the most jaw-dropping true-crime cases of the 1980s — proving once again that when love and ego collide, somebody’s bound to get run over.
