You are listening to the Roberta Glass True Crime Report, putting the true back in true crime.

From New York City,

Roberta Glass is now on the record.

Okay.

I'm here, not in New York, but in an undisclosed location with my mother, and she has agreed to be a very nice sport.

And look at, are you a true crime fan?

Not really, sweetie. No, I'm not.

I would say not in any way.

You have almost zero interest in the subject?

I would say that would be correct.

But you agree to look at five of some of the most famous interviews with true crime subjects.

Only because I love you so much. You heard that. We're going to

start with Diane Downs, who was convicted of murdering her kids because her lover didn't want

kids. Oh dear. And she gave this interview before she was ever convicted. And she got pregnant right before her trial from another man, not the lover that she was trying to win back. That didn't work. But here is her interview where she talks about why she got pregnant. Take a listen. Downs is now expecting another child.

She says her pregnancy takes away the feelings of loneliness in prison. I got pregnant because I miss

Christy and I miss Danny and I miss Cheryl so much. I'm never going to see Cheryl on earth again.

And I just, you can't replace children, but you can replace the effect that they give you.

And they give me love, they give me satisfaction, they give me stability.

They give me a reason to live and a reason to be happy.

And that's gone.

They took it from me.

But children are so easy to conceive.
