before the crash and her death, she had had, in abortion. that raised deputies antenna, especially given what jerry had said in one of those calls to his friend. taped by the rcmp, after the crash. she won because i guess she was in love with me or something like that. and she says, you know, like can t we i can t live without, you and all this. it thing go through your mind at that point? did he really want her to be there? did he really want to run away with her, forever? she is the one that was manly in love with him, it probably wasn t the same type of issue in reverse. maybe the crash presented an opportunity, to not have a clingy girlfriend, or maybe as diane s family later claimed, she was a vulnerable young woman afraid of being left by the only lover she never had, in her emotions told her to get on board, even if jerry did not really want her to. jim, a pilot remember, i ve been doing some informed
almost nothing law enforcement could go on, and this was kind of a lost cause. i can remember, we had calls from interpol, people called and said i think it s this guy, in an attempt not to be him. in canada, diane bob cox father called the rcmp once a week for years. and then once a month, hoping for news, and it never came. then, in 1999, 17 years after the crash, diane s father and mother, were driving to the cemetery where she was buried, as they had done so faithfully, each year since her death. it was a bus that collided with them, smashed into their car, diane s mother adele was killed, she was 65. i thought how much more can a family endure? by 2000, rcmp council tim peterson retired. those unsolved cases stick with you. in your line of. work they do.
