First, he grills her about her diary entry, and then he confronts her with personal letters that were not meant to be read by anyone other than the recipient. They weren't supposed to break in either, there should have been a key underneath of a ceramic frog planter but the key wasn't there. The "guilters" would chuckle at the insinuation of a "conspiracy" but is it really such a far reach? So they were never questioned or looked into at all? I always laugh when people say all they had to do was pull the screen off, because that wasn't his way. What kind of mother has bleached blonde hair and $5,000 breast implants? When I asked her that, she told me that he was stillsomebody was still in the house. When it came time for this family to lay the boys to rest, it was all about honoring them, their lives, and the things that made them happy. LOL Fern! Devon's death was not a rage killing; it was functional. Is youryou know, sometimes I'll set my clock a little bit fast just so that hopefully I get where I'm supposed to be on time. JustinCase976 (author) on March 11, 2020: I would bet money that the Texas authorities already have someone under investigation. Every word spoken between Darlie and Waddell is recorded on the 911 call, and she never once says anything to him about a struggle. Id be on the hunt if I were Darlie Lynn Routier .. Timothy gene harris dead but I think I read somewhere theres another guy thats walking around .. if hes approached hell be singing like bird lions and tigers and bears oh my! Cron did not see Darlie's injuries. It is a minute, pinprick DOT. There were at least a dozen people coming in and out of that house in the early morning hours. Because they thought the house was empty, and were taken by surprise. Boot prints outlined in the carpet, unidentified finger and palm prints, and of course, the unidentified fingerprint left in BLOOD, which could only have been deposited while the blood was still WET. The intruder(s) would not have needed to go anywhere near the spa.The motion light is a moot point, although the police and the DA sure wanted everyone to think it was ominous. So can the general public. I see a judge with a clear bias in favor of the prosecution that was blatantly trying to rush through the trial, never mind that someone's life was hanging in the balance. Adding: "What mother, whose children are dead or dying, would even be thinking about fingerprints on a weapon if she's innocent?". They just stabbed me and my children!" The scene was most definitely staged. According to her arms, she certainly did. Her fans say necklace was embedded, had 2b surgically removed. New evidence may allow former Lubbock resident Darlie Routier to walk free after being on death row for the last 12 years. Darlie's bloody footprints were photographed underneath some of the glass, causing them to believe she broke the glass after the fact to make it look like there had been a struggle. Okay. This would also explain why he tossed the knife down. It certainly isn't impossible, but I formed my opinion based on verifiable facts, and I just haven't seen anything that points to a woman's involvement. However, since Harrell was an integral part of the defense team and had been sitting in the courtroom throughout the trial, any testimony from him fell under the "Rule of Evidence," meaning that because he was able to hear what other witnesses had said, he was not permitted to take the stand. Last but not least, the amount of fiber recovered from the knife was so minuscule that when Linch was finished with his analysis, there was nothing left for the defense to perform their own analysis! When the 911 dispatcher picked up, Darlie was just blurting out the words, trying to get it all out. Okay. At the very end of the call, the operator tells her to go talk to the police officers. Even now, over 25 years later, Darlie Routier still maintains her innocence, asserting that someone broke into the home and attacked her and her children. In order for blood to be under the glass, Darlie would have to be bleeding before she tossed the glass onto the ground, right? Rickels turned on the bedroom light and once again, the men ran off. The haters always reference it as one of the best and most informative articles on this subject but I spotted at least a dozen inaccuracies (the article literally says Darlie's fingerprints were found on the knife handle and then later turns around and says she wore a sock on her hand to cover the prints, so which is it?). The main focus was on Devon, who was not breathing. It may go a long way with regard to getting her a new trial, but even that is not a given. I don't think any one of us can predict exactly what we would or would not do under those circumstances, and I pray none of us ever has to find out. But Bill Gorsuch across the street worked nights, as I've already mentioned. A. I assumed it was two to three or four minutes, somewhere in that area. It is very possible when Darlie was wetting the towels if they were big towels and they drapped down infront of the sink cupboards then could have rubbed against the front of the kitchen sink cupboards and this is why it looked like an attempted clean up. I stepped over, to look into the garage, just to see if I could see anybody, and told her to apply some pressure to the first child's wounds. Rickels was shaken, but not alarmed enough to summon police. If anyone doesn't care to take my word for it, they can always feel free to contact Mountain View and request Darlie's visitor logs, which I believe are public record. When ordered to produce those tapes and turn them in, Sandra complied, but there were still a couple of tapes missing. Darlie Routier Net Worth: At the time on her conviction she had some credit card debt and they were behind in their mortgage. She can't stab two people at the same time; what if one of the boys had run out of the room and made it upstairs? Now, one might ask why Waddell would lie; what does he gain? The Murders In another account, she was awakened by Damon pushing on her shoulder, saying, "Mommy.". Wouldnt a new investigation begin? The dog was sound asleep, snoring away and dreaming of milk bones. How many times did the dispatcher say something along the lines of, "Ma'am, I need you to stay on the phone with me." At first she insisted there were no audio tapes; later she recanted and admitted that there were audio tapes, locked in a storage unit. Did she struggle with the intruder?

Guilters gleefully point out that Darlie used the phrase "I don't know" or "I don't remember" 72 times during her cross-examination. Do you think her live-in bf had nothing to do with it as well? I really don't see either the former maid or her boyfriend involved in this particular crime. I believe you're right on the money as far as why it looked like there was "clean up" in the sink area. Thats what Id say hang on a sec while I change. There is so much information here! 7) Blood under the glass and vacuum--now we're getting somewhere. He loved to cut things and show off with his knife. Darlie Routier has been on death row for five years now, always insisting that she didn't kill her sons Devon and Damon.

I believe I did read somewhere that this psychic told Darlie that a woman had done it, a woman who was supposedly very jealous of Darlie. What if Gorsuch was still awake and happened to see her running outside to plant this sock? Just my theory. I predict that the first one to talk will get immunity. They just try and muddy the waters and confuse people with untruths that cannot be proven. Question: What information does AFIS hold? Who is Teresa Powers, and what is in that affidavit that Davis so desperately wanted to keep out? Why would she deliberately torture herself by having to hear those soul-crushing words again? Yea i don't believe it was someone who knew her either and the letter from Karl about them other inmates talking about this tragedy and there involvement it seem's that it is very likely those two males. Poor Darlie ? JustinCase976 (author) on December 13, 2019: Darin had said for years that someone should have taken a closer look at the maid since one of the spare keys was missing. Everything that points to Darlie's guilt is in the transcripts." All he manages to get out is "Daaaaa----" before a beefy hand is clapped over his mouth and he is flung back to the floor. If Acadiana Criminalistics recommends additional testing of samples, the specific evidence is to be sent to Mitotyping Technologies in State College to undergo mitochondrial DNA testing.

It should be noted here that at the end of the 911 call, somewhere between 2:36 and 2:37 am, the dispatcher tells Darlie there is a police officer at her door and to let him in. That's actually in Kathy Cruz's book. "Ma'am, I need you to talk to me." He's obviously trying to paint her as an uncaring mother, and that comment should have been stricken from the record as speculation. Some people theorize that the bruising was a result of Devon kicking at her while she was stabbing him, since he did show signs of defensive injuries. There was the dna of a black man found at the scene. I have no doubt that they did call a psychic, which goes to show just how desperate they were to figure out what happened.

A videotape of a graveside birthday celebration for Darlie's late son showed Darlie smiling, chewing gum, and spraying "silly string" while singing "Happy Birthday.". Seems it would have to be someone with big Reach ? Everyone seems to have a theory as to how it got there. Dr. Phil is a non-factor and is about as useful as tits on a bull.

His affair with Karen Neal has been exposed for years and yet people keep asking questions about that stupid sock. I just can't buy the idea that Darlie was the one who murdered her kids.
