Diane Newton King—mother, wife, and rising tv news personality—never made it to the inside of her home that day. Her children never had another moment with their mother. Join us for Behind the Veil: Diane Newton King. Behind the wedding vows, the smiles, and the years of building and sustaining a family, there lurked a dark truth which threatened to destroy everything.

She was nearing completion of her degree and had a bright future ahead of her. She was engaged to a wonderful man. She had a lot of plans for her future.
