Reportedly, Dianne Elaine Hood, popularly called Dianne Hood, was a woman originally from Pecos County, Texas. She was born in July 1958 and was an extremely religious church-goer. She married an insurance salesman named Brian Hood, a fellow church-goer.

The married couple had three children together. Everything looked perfect between the couple, but in 1990, an unimaginable incident changed everything when she was only 32.

Dianne Hood was reportedly diagnosed with lupus, and due to her condition, she used to go to support groups at the local community center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. When the spine-chilling incident occurred on September 12, 1990, Dianne was returning from one such support group session.

Reportedly, a masked person ambushed and assaulted Dianne from behind. Her purse was taken by the attacker, who then went on to fatally shoot her from behind with an antique .45-caliber gun twice. The second shot was orchestrated by the sinister attacker while standing over Dianne's brutally injured body.

The murderer later disclosed that she was commanded to commit the crime by none other than Dianne's husband, Brian. She said:

"He kept discussing that he wanted his wife dead. He convinced me I was the one who should kill his wife. So on September 12, I went to the place he said she would be, and I killed her." (The Cinemaholic)
