Summary

By all appearances the six member Staudte family of Springfield, Missouri, appeared to everyone as typical. As a nurse, Diane Staudte was the breadwinner. Her husband, Mark, played in a band and took the occasional odd job. In 2012, the couple were still living in a cramped, 900 square foot, one-bathroom home with all four children who were now 26, 24, 22 and 9. Little did Mark know that his wife, Diane, was a ticking time bomb.

confusing time for her. She's only 24 and all of the doctors are scrambling around her.

0:40.3

They're running tests, they're panic, they say her condition is not good.

0:45.3

It's critical to be frank, because Sarah Stouty's organs at only 24 years old are failing.

0:51.3

But let me explain why this is so weird. She had started getting sick

0:55.8

a few days prior to this, and her mom and her sister, Diane and Rachel, they didn't really think

1:02.4

much of it. This was probably the worst illness that Sarah had ever felt. She couldn't really even

get out of bed. And finally, after a couple days,

her mom, Diane, and her sister Rachel are like,

They didn't seem too concerned about her condition.

And Sarah trusted her sister.

And Sarah trusted her mother. So if Sarah's sister and Sarah's mother say that nothing's wrong, then maybe nothing's wrong.

1:35.3

Maybe it's just all in her head. When Sarah gets to the hospital, the doctors and nurses are scrambling. They're concerned. They tell her that her organs are failing. I can only imagine how disorienting this must be. Your mother and sister say everything is fine. And the doctors are the only ones that are concerned about you. Not to mention, only a few months prior to this, her father and her brother also passed away.
