welcome back. now, as we said, we turn to another story which when we first heard about it defied explanation. a young mother, driving a minivan home from a camping trip, speeding down the wrong side of a divided highway with her own children and three nieces in the car. the crash that resulted killed a total of eight people. tonight, the parents who lost their little girls speak for the first time with ann curry. what they have endured is the basis of a new book called "i'll see you again." tonight they talk about what they learned about surviving grief. >> reporter: they were jackie and warren hance's three excited little girls, about to embark on a big adventure. >> i love you all. >> reporter: emma 8, the oldest dreamed of becoming an actress. >> she's a lot like me.

she wanted everything perfect. very, very good big sister. >> reporter: allison, 7 a free-spirited artist, was born with a smile on her face. >> make a silly face. >> she could make anybody happy at anytime and it was impossible to be sad around her. it really was. >> reporter: and katie the youngest at age 5. >> i did it, daddy! >> she just looked at her big sisters and wanted to do everything they did. sometimes it was you are only 2. you can't do what they are doing right now, but she still tried. >> reporter: in july of 2009, jackie, a 38-year-old stay at home mom and her husband warren, a real estate appraiser were packing their daughters off with her sister diane, her husband danny and their two young children on a weekend camping trip.

>> we had been packing since tuesday. they were looking forward to it a lot. it was going to be a forever trip. >> reporter: that they would forever remember. >> uh-huh. >> reporter: it was a two hour drive from their home on long island. >> i loved it. they were going to do things they normally didn't do, fish, boating, really camping. >> reporter: though she was missing her girls jackie felt confident that with her sister diane they were in safe hands. >> i had known her 20 years, back then 16 years. she was a nanny for i think a good eight years. i went to her for advice. she knew more about babies than i did. >> reporter: diane schuller had her hands for, working as an executive at a cable company and mothering her children 5-year-old brian and 2-year-old erin but she always remembered her nieces on holidays and birthdays with a gift or card. jackie said she loved diane like a sister.

>> the girls loved her. she was a strict aunt but a fun aunt. >> reporter: as the weekend came to an end, on sunday morning jackie eagerly awaited the girls' homecoming. soon after 9:00 a.m., diane got the three girls and her own two children th children in the minivan and took off. >> how was her demeanor? >> fine. >> anything in the conversation that makes you wonder if anything was askew or wrong? >> god no. huh- huh-uh. no. >> reporter: 40 minutes later, now close to 1:00 the phone rang. it was emma sounding alarmed. >> mommy, something is wrong with aunt diane. >> and she was crying. >> uh-huh. i didn't understand.

i said what do you mean? i could hear allison crying in the background. i said let me talk to aunt diane. so diane got on the phone. she kept saying they are playing and having fun. she didn't sound right. >> diane didn't. >> no. she wasn't making sense. >> confused and alarmed jackie stayed home to call the police and warren and his father raced to tarrytown, the last place that emma said they were. when they finally got there, diane and the children were nowhere to be found. in their search, warren and his father stopped at the police station. >> the trooper was out in the parking lot waiting for me and he said you need to get in my car. i said i'll just drooichlt and he said no, i'm going to drive you over there and i turned to my father and said this is bad. an he said, yeah, i know. >> reporter: the trooper drove them to a local hospital where police told them what they

couldn't bear to hear. diane, they said, had driven the minivan in to oncoming traffic with all of the chilen on board on new york's taconic parkway. they said she hit an suv head on. the minivan exploded in to flames. all three sisters, diane, her daughter as well as the three men in the suv, michael and guy and daniel were killed. that's eight people lost. only diane's 5-year-old son brian survived. >> i just crumbled. i lost it. >> reporter: jackie was anxious at home waiting for word when the phone rang. a family friend picked up. >> he said it's warren. i just saw him his head drop and then drop again and again. and i just stared at him. and he came over and said they are all gone.

i ran out the door. >> screaming. four days later at the funeral for diane and the children, jackie was astonished at warren's courage, giving the eulogy for the family. >> love your children. cherish your children. kiss your children. and don't ever forget. >> reporter: jackie slid beyond despair. >> they were my life. they were the reason i was put her, i believe. because they really, just really amazing girls. it changed everything. she admits she became detached from reality. >> i'd wake up from a nap or a deep sleep and go in the girls' room and are they here, where did they sleep? >> reporter: her close friends melissa, isabelle an janine stayed near jackie around the clock.

>> she would call in the middle of the night where are the girls? do you have them at your house? and you would have to go through the process, no sweetheart and show the papers or explain to her. >> reporter: it seemed it couldn't get any worse. but then five day air force the funeral came the toxicology report. it said diane's blood alcohol level was double the legal limit. the medical examiner said she consumed at least ten drings and there was marijuana in her blood. and there were more details from investigators that only added to the mystery. 30 minutes after leaving the camp site, police determined, diane stopped to feed the children at mcdonald's. 45 minutes after that, she stopped at a convenient store. she is seen here in the security camera footage. she reportedly asked for pain medication, but left without buying anything. it was soon after that when diane turned on to the wrong side of the taconic parkway, spooking other drivers. >> state police, 911.

>> yeah, you have a guy driving south on northbound taconic parkway. >> reporter: they said that her minivan was moving at 85 miles an hour for two miles in to oncoming traffic, just missing other vehicles. >> he's going like a bat out of hell. >> before colliding with the suv. in the wreckage of the minivan, police find broken bottle of vodka. >> i couldn't believe it. my heart stopped again. and i was dumfounded. >> reporter: as all of these details begin to emerge, jackie's grief turned darker. >> i just was angry. i wish that it was just a regular car accident. it was killing me, the anger. i didn't know how to deal with it. >> reporter: not only anger at the accident, anger at herself. >> i'm their mom and supposed to protect them.

and i didn't. it's just hard to not blame yourself. >> reporter: you expected diane to protect your kids? >> uh-huh. >> reporter: and now you are blaming yourself. >> i'm not blaming myself for the accident. i'm blaming myself for them not being here. it's just -- they are not here and i'm their mom. >> reporter: jackie fell in to a dark well of grief and doubted she could ever climb out of it. she punished herself, questioning how well she really knew her sister-in-law and she could not accept that she had lost all three of her children. but in the midst of her suffering there was suddenly a ray of light.

welcome back. jackie hance was so tormented by how could she possibly go on after a trusted family member killed all three of her children? here now ann curry continues her report. >> for a long time, i believed that god would never leave me in this pain. he would never leave anyone in this pain.

>> reporter: jackie hance's grief over the sudden loss of all three of her children was compounded by not being able to make sense of what investigators discovered, the alcohol and drugs in diane's system, the apparent craziness of her actions. >> i never knew her to drink. why would she be drinking with my and her kids in the car? like, it didn't -- no, just no. i just thought it is impossible. and it was a mistake. >> reporter: jackie said she could think of nothing in the past that would have caused her to suspect diane abused alcohol or drugs but in stintly she fear shed would be harshly judged any way and she was. >> quote, she must have known that diane was an alcoholic. she should have never let her kids go in that car. >> in the beginning, i would read what people wrote. when you are up late at night and sleep deprived and emotionally drained you start to believe what you read.

>> reporter: jackie considered wild theories. was it significant that diane asked the store clerk for painkill painkillers. she had been complaining about a tooth ache. could that have influenced her actions that day. >> i was willing to accept anything. >> reporter: she concluded the crash was causing by drunk driving. a tangle of lawsuits followed by all parties. warren was sued because he owned the minivan. >> my kids are gone, my sister, my niece is gone. they were affected in as traumatic a way as i was. i'm not going to sit and judge anyone else or make comments and, you know, people have to do what they need to do. >> reporter: the lawsuit is still ongoing only adds to the distress on jackie and warren's marriage. >> in the book you talk about really huge arguments with your husband. so raw and so emotional.

and yet you two held on to each other as much as you fought. >> i know. he's a really strong person. you know, i love him and i'm sorry for him. >> you are sorry for his suffering you mean? >> yeah. i would do anything not to see him in pain. >> even when her own agony turned dangerous. >> i just wanted to be with he girls so bad that i got so emotional and so fixated on fan seeing them again. the thought of being in pain forever was too much to handle. >> you contemplated suicide. >> uh-huh. >> you even had a plan how to do it. >> i had been putting a few pills away from each prescription and taking one or two from warren's and hiding them.

>> her friends never left her side. for months they delivered meals and took turns sleeping outside of her room afraid of what might happen if they left her alone. >> i think we all looked for things that were scissors, forks, belts. we took away any medicine that we found in the closets. we took away scarves. part of it is what would we do? no one knew how anyone would react to such a news that we knew we needed her to be safe. >> reporter: jackie knew she had to change her life if she was going to survive. her friends encouraged her to take small steps including to rejoin her early-morning runs. >> they drag me out of bed every day and tried to get me some little speck of peace in the day. >> reporter: her friends even suggested she have another child, but jackie couldn't imagine how she, a broken woman, would be able to care for a

baby. what's more, she was 38 and technically couldn't have children. her tubes were tied and after the funeral there was no more money le to afford ivf. then came a gift. >> what i did for them is what i would hope i would do for anyone who's in need and who has a situation that is essentially tragic and difficult. >> reporter: a renounced new york city fertility doctor was so moved by the tragedy, he offered to help jackie and warren without charge. >> they came to see us to see if perhaps we could do what we do, stimulate jackie to have multiple eggs to retrieve eggs, to get embryos to freeze so that when she was more psychologically ready we could achieve pregnancies in the future. >> reporter: at this point, jackie said she was so numb she was just going through the motions, doing what she was told. but she was set against ever

becoming pregnant again. >> i didn't think i deserved to be a mom again. >> her friends tried to convince her saying she deserved to be a great mom again and a baby would help to heal her heart. >> i had a dream. i was in heaven and i got to the gates and the girls were there and i could see them. i could touch their hands because it was through the gate. and i said, can you let me in i saw god and he said no, you haven't done everything possible that you can do. >> reporter: the next morning in february 2011, a year and a half after the accident, jackie decided to get pregnant. >> so you tried. >> i tried. >> and? >> i got pregnant. >> on the first try. she got the call and she's like i'm pregnant. we both started crying. jumping up and down. it was like hope. >> yep. >> hope. >> hope for what? >> for jackie. >> for a slice of happiness. >> reporter: jackie couldn't

believe it. >> i was in shock. it was a lot to take in. >> reporter: on october 11th, she gave birth to casey rose and for the first time since the accident jackie felt joy. and something else, a need to reconcile her feelings about diane. standing by her daughter's graves, right next to diane's, she realized she couldn't love her new baby and hate diane at the same time. >> so you reached out and touched her head stone and what did you say? >> i just said i don't understand, i don't know what happened that day and i always loved you and i forgive you. i mean i still love her. up until that day i only knew what i knew. she was a good person. and a good mom and a good friend.

so i don't know what happened that day. i really don't. >> even not knowing, you are able to forgive her? >> i had to. i had no choice. because it was -- i wouldn't have been able to live any other way. >> i can see myself in the mirror. >> reporter: jackie says she and warren think of emma, allison and katie all the time. and that's why they started the hance family foundation which helps young girls build confidence and self esteem. the hance's want every girl to be confident and happy just as they wish for their own daughters. the foundation has become a mission for warren. >> does it keep one person out of trouble? does it keep one girl from feeling bad about themselves one day? i know we made a difference. where it goes tomorrow and the day after that and the day after that, you can only dream. >> reporter: help support the

foundation financially jackie has written a book, "i'll see you again." she writes about hope in the face of suffer thaeng spirit of her girls. >> my greatest desire is for people to know them that never get to know them. like emma's future mother-in-law or katie's future college roommate or somebody who didn't get the chance to meet them might meet them through the book. >> reporter: their new bundle of joy, casey is now 18 months old. a little girl teaching her parents to let go of some of their tragedy and know even after all that has been lost there's still a way to go on. >> it just gives you a meaning again. when you lose everything and then you get something to hold on to, there's no way to describe it. >> she brings a heart beat to this house again. there was none.

she brought us back life. >> even with the happiness of their new arrival, what an incredibly sad story at the end of the day. ann curry reporting for us from floral park on long island here in new york. we'll take a break and be back with a report from chelsea clinton who tells us about a world we see every day and yet know very little about. let's look up some taco places. i like the left side. yeah? okay, do we need to find out what the waves are like down at the beach? what side do you like better? i like the results on the right. i'm gonna go with the one on the left. oh! bing won! people prefer bing over google for the web's top searches. don't believe it? go to bingiton.com and see what you're missing. no... down... lower... now, that's more like it! petsmart is lowering every day prices on hundreds of dog food, cat food and litter.
