farrah fawcett as diane downs in small sacrifices

After reading Small Sacrifices, which mentioned Downs and Woodfield maintained a correspondence, I've had this on my reading list. It's crazy all the things Woodfield managed to do without getting caught, the number of assaults and robberies and murders. Thankfully, law enforcement did finally apprehend him. The majority of the book covers his crimes and his eventual capture, while his court cases only take up the last few chapters. It's scary how easily he misled so many women. This type of thing should put us in our guard.

I also found the observation that our justice system tends to allow a lot of crime for a small cost on the part of the criminal. After the first few convictions the rest of the courts in three states elected not to charge Woodfield. It was too expensive and they feared that one slip up would have him back on the streets. I get that, but that means he never faced prosecution for those crimes. For good or ill, that's how it works.

In March of 2019, ABC news highlighted videos of Diane Downs the woman convicted of murdering her children while interviewing one of Down's daughters now an adult woman.

From the videos of Downs along with the evidence against her as well as the many books written about her, Downs exhibits qualities making her the poster child of Ashlesha's shadow.

Information about Down's birthrate was taken from Wikipedia. Without birth time information. the default time of 12:00 Local Time of birth was used. Calculations of her natal chart were calculated with Kala software.

Ancient and modern texts describe Ashlesha as a sharp, dreadful nakshatra known as "the embracer," "the clinging star" and a nakshatra considered good in assisting in activities such as poisoning, destroying, polluting, digging and many other destructive activities. Many nakshatra natives are medical health professionals using these skills in destroying disease and affliction. Like all nakshatras, Ashlesha is only considered "bad" if afflicted by planetary position, aspect to other planets, as well as transits according to Vedic Astrology.

Ancient and modern astrologers describe Ashlesha natives as highly intuitive, young looking, clever, sharp and cunning. Ashlesha's shakti power is "the power to inflict poison."
