According to Dianna’s mother, she also has a medical condition that requires daily medication. 

On Monday night, police discovered her body in a wooded area of south Philadelphia. 

She had been shot to death. It’s unclear how many gunshot wounds she suffered. 

On the day she went missing, Dianna’s mother had taken her with her to a laundromat. 

She said she came out of the laundromat to find her sitting in her car with Smith. 

Dianna was crying, she said, but told her nothing was wrong. The mother then drove them both to Smith’s car nearby, she said. 

‘I asked her, “You good?” and then I drove off. And I haven’t seen my baby since,’ her mother, Betty Cellini, told Dateline.

Dianna's body was found in this wooded area in south Philadelphia on Monday night, just under a week after she went missing
