Thanks for this good news, Odyssey.I am hoping to have that arrest date in the next couple days. Don't want to get my hopes too high because I've thought that before but it's looking good this time.

Hi, Odyssey, I'm guessing that the arrest date has not yet been made available to you? Hope all is well.![]()
Hi, Solitaryone, I also thought of Tex Watson when I read Ted Ringgold's post about Doug. I don't think it's "out there" to wonder if Doug was a Manson follower; but it seems to me that he would have mentioned that when explaining about his tattoo.I've been reading through the posts in this thread, and have not had a chance to read through all of the posts, but thought I'd post some things I thought of while reading. This may sound "out there" somewhat, but I was struck by a few things that immediately came to mind as I was reading. Back in the beginning of this thread, Ted Ringgold in his first post, page 1 post# 25, described "Doug" as someone who lived a somewhat transient lifestyle, was 17/18 years old, was I gather very unsavory who was associated with other unsavory characters, and who had a tatoo that said "Satan's DAY" on his arm I think?

When "Doug" was asked about this tatoo he reportedly said he "was put on this earth by Satan to do the devil's work"? When I read this, the first thing I thought of was Charles"Tex"Watson from the Manson Family. In "Helter Skelter", "Tex" is said to have told the Tate victims "I'm the devil, and I'm here to do the devil's business." after entering the Tate residence.
Ted Ringgold also posted that "Doug" stayed in the mountains with others who were into criminal activity who "also had a collection of firearms including automatic rifles and were talking about doing things like bank robberies and even things that sounded terrorist in nature." I'm curious if this "Doug" had any connections to Manson Family associates. Though Manson and most of the immediate Family members were already doing either life or long prison stretches by 1979, there remained hard core associates connected to them who were staying in and/or had strong connections to Stockton, Mendocino County, Ukiah and Willits throughout the 1970's who were involved in this same type of criminal activity. Has anyone looked into the possibility that this "Doug" had any connection to this group?
I hope you get answers to where Diane is and what happened to her.
Bumping for Diane, missing for 36 years.
A big thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread. It's always nice to learn about a "missing person" beyond the information that would be featured on a flier. The responses here really establish Diane as an individual; as well as the time period and general way of life. Hopefully another anniversary won't have to happen before the truth is revealed.
Any updates?
