I was her boyfriend at the time. Diane and I had gotten in an argument on the way home from a New Years Eve party in the San Fernando valley and she wanted me to give her a ride to her sisters house. We had been drinking and I didn't want to drive anymore that night so I refused.
We parked the car and she took off walking toward the freeway onramp. I figured she'd change her mind and walk back home shortly but that was the last time I ever saw her.
After a couple of days Diane's twin sister called me and asked if I had heard from her. I told her that I had not. I told her (the sister) that I figured she (Diane) was with her (the sister) and was still mad at me for not giving her the ride and that's why she had not called me. That's when we knew something was wrong.
I was questioned by San Bernardino sheriff homicide detectives numerous times. I volunteered to go to San Bernardino sheriff headquarters and take a polygraph test and passed.
Looking back on it now after all I've learned, it was a bit naive of me to take that test. If for some reason I wouldn't have passed that polygraph everything would be completely different.
I was 21 years old at the time and was unaware of how the judicial system works.
It truly saddens me that whoever is responsible for this horrendous act has never been brought to justice for this crime.
