I just finished watching it. I'm not sure I understand why this was something that warrants a documentary. It seems pretty straight forward to me - she was drunk and high on pot. The why's don't really seem any more out of the ordinary for any other tragic story when someone is killed - maybe she found out bad news, maybe she was in a lot of pain, or maybe she had a stroke (which is unlikely since nothing else showed in the autopsy.
It was certainly a horrible tragedy to lose so many (especially the kids), but it's not like there's a documentary about every driving tragedy - like the limo driver that mis-judged traffic and killed those 6 young women last year.
The one from the vineyard?
He was T-Boned by a drunk driver in a huge truck!!!
After the crash was investigated, the limo driver was found to be completely at fault. I'm not excusing the other driver who was drinking and driving, but his intoxication was not found to be contributory to the accident (even though I have no doubt his reflexes were off).

This accident would've happened regardless. The limo pulled out in front of oncoming traffic. There is no way that truck, or any other truck, would've been able to stop in time regardless.

Yes. Even a stone cold sober driver who was at that exact spot at that time would have hit them. He was trying to make a u-turn in a HUGE long limo and there was no way he could execute that turn safely.
They have since banned U Turns there or put a light or something...

Re: Aunt Diane
The Aunt Diane story made me sick to my stomach and it still haunts me.
It seemed to me that she was struggling with depression and self-medicating with alcohol and pot- and probably had been for a while.
I think something was triggered that morning and she became suicidal. She was trying to kill herself that morning- she wasn't just driving drunk. But why with the kids in the car? With her own- and her nieces? I just don't understand and because she did this, I 100% agree that I have no sympathy for her at all.

Re: Aunt Diane
My close friend was closely involved in the investigation of this accident. he was called in on it when it happened. While he doesn't talk about it much, he said there were no medical issues. He spoke with the medical examiner and she was surprised at the results but not shocked. He said he thought she had a nervous breakdown. I wanted to ask him a million questions and I still do but won't.

Aunt Diane
It's such an odd story, a real mystery in a sense. I accept the fact that there is unquestionably alcohol and pot in her system. Numerous toxicology reports don't lie. But I too read Jackie Hance's book and she felt like knew and trusted her SIL, never saw her SIL drink more than one beer, and never in a million years would've entrusted her kids with someone capable of doing this. They sounded VERY close. Even lived together at one point. Then what is so puzzling to me is she spoke with Diane 40 minutes before she got a called from her daughter telling her those infamous words "something is wrong with Aunt Diane," and she said that Diane sounded completely normal. When she spoke with Diane after receiving the call from her eldest daughter that her aunt was acting erratic, she said Diane was slurring her words and Jackie thought she had a seizure because she would never suspect she'd be drunk with the kids in the car (clearly we know now it was from alcohol). I just want to know what happened in those 40 minutes!!!!! What set Diane off? 40 minutes is just such a short period of time. I feel like she literally was drinking and driving.
We'll never know. Maybe Diane did have issues, and Jackie is covering up her own guilt of entrusting her kids. Maybe something really did set Diane off. Maybe Diane and her husband got into it bad. Maybe she drank to alleviate tooth pain (Crazy theory they posed...)
And at this point, I guess it doesn't matter. It just scares the life out of me. This sounds like it could happen to ANYONE. I believe Jackie was a good mom and truly wouldn't have sent her kids off with someone she felt would endanger them. But that scares me most, you think you know someone and trust someone and then they do the unthinkable. I pray for Hance's and Schuler children often.
