In a bizarre turn of events, a Facebook page titled “R.I.P. Diane Downs” surfaced in November 2023, claiming the demise of the infamous murderer, Diane Downs.
The page quickly garnered thousands of likes and comments, with a mix of expressions ranging from sympathy to outright celebration of her alleged death.
However, this apparent revelation was soon debunked as a hoax when no official confirmation or obituary emerged from any credible source.
Contrary to the misleading social media post, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation has confirmed that Diane Downs is very much alive.
Presently, she is in custody at the Central California Women’s Facility. As of August 2021, Downs is 68 years old and is slated for her next parole hearing in December 2024.
