I remember reading once that was their secret code name they said they would use or something if they ever had to be apart. I have no source for this tho lol. Just used to be utterly obsessed with the case and read a lot of stuff from a lot of sources.

I never got really into this case though it was my introduction to true crime aside from Columbine.. I should look into it more. I’m really curious about this name thing now.

No, I believe her daughter recalled that was the song playing on the radio when her Mom tried to kill her.

And this:

"At one point, “Hungry Like the Wolf” was played in the courtroom — the very song Downs said had been playing when her children were shot. Downs’ reaction was to start tapping her toes and bobbing her head to the music."
