She would smoke to relax, her husband, and sister in law admitted this... she was a closet drinker.

This gives her the perfect opportunity to drink all night long, every night with only a five and two year old children who can not tell on her. By the time her husband go home in the morning she was more then likely already showered and ready for work. THIS was how she hid it. She worked in the daytime and her husband worked the night shift.

When my husband and I travel ANYWHERE is separate cars (long or short drives) we always follow each other to make sure we are safe. Someting stinks here, the husband is hiding something.

Her husband worked the opposite shift then Diane did. She worked in the daytime and he worked nights. I say this is when she did all her drinking, in the evening, after she got home from a long day. She drank herself into a stuper when there were not other adults around. I have seen many "functioning" drinkers around to know this. They key to me really knowing is how many drinks she pounded down in such a short time. This is how they do it. She more then likely go a punch type of drink at the McDonalds she stoped at and then filled it with the Vodka. Everyone she know says she was a control freak, she probabley thought she could controll drinking and driving. After spending the weekend with her husband she needed her fix and guzzled in her car. Plain and simple, there would be no other reason to have a vodka bottle in the car unless she planed on drinking it. It was hidden........ that says it all. Closet Drinker !

Drink by drink she washed away the commands of her husband. The more I think about it, I think she stormed off with the kids to insure that no adults would be along, and the more she looked for an escape, the more harm she did.

I cannot believe that a tragedy such as this existed. If she were high or drunk, she should have gotten off the Tappan Zee and waited for her brother. She had 5 kids in the car and herself. I worked in the insurance industry for many years and saw photos of accidents but this has got to be one of the worse I have seen and to see her picture on TV was gruesome. Her husband after all these years, is definitely in denial about his wife, if she was a closet drinker, he should have known it, he knew she smoked pot too. Seems like she was the matriach of the family and he just went along with what she said.I feel sorry for her son who is gonna have to deal with this for the rest of his life. I am glad he survived though. I just finished watching the HBO documentary that was on demand. I cannot believe that a tragedy such as this existed.

We can only speculate about this case - we will never know the truth, because the only person to have survived the wreck was a five-year-old boy who doesn't appear to remember much of anything about what happened. The Schulers are not now going to admit if they lied, or if they have been withholding more information. The Hances aren't talking. The families of the other victims don't know any more than we do. The truth died with Diane, I'm afraid. For some reason I don't quite understand, this case fascinates me. I guess I will continue to roll the "facts" around in my head, until they make sense. I am enjoying reading everyone's opinions. There is no way to know what the niece said to her father – it is all hearsay.
