40. Hungry like the Wolf: Can we ever understand filicide?
In 1983 Diane Downs carries her three small children into a hospital in Oregon, all suffering from gunshot wounds.

What could lead a mother to harm her own children? In this episode of Bad People, presenters Dr Julia Shaw and Sofie Hagen discuss the topic of familicide and Julia shares her own family’s close encounter.
