DOM Ep257 - Diane Schuler & the Taconic Parkway Tragedy

Diane Schuler was known to many of her friends and family as "Super Mom"- She was at every school function, volunteered for field trips, made cookies for bake sales and did it all while being the main breadwinner in the family. But on July 26th, 2009, something changed. While traveling back home from a camping trip with her 2 young children and 3 nieces in the car, Diane snapped. She drove  erratically for miles until entering the Taconic Parkway in the wrong direction. She then struck another car head on, killing herself and 7 other people. Toxicology reports soon showed that this "Super Mom" had been drunk and high at the time of her death. (Subject Matter Begins @ 7:17)
