The bloody sock in the alleyway had not even been discovered at this point. "OK, just stay on the line with me." Officer Waddell was not actually dispatched to Eagle Drive; he just happened to be nearby when the call came in over the radio. He testified that he repeatedly instructed Darlie to put towels on Damon while he was standing right beside her; why do we not hear him say this on the 911 tape? Then she stabbed the other child. There was no guarantee that the police would find it, or realize that it was linked to the murders. There are no photos of the Routier sink after Luminol was applied. Each witness was able to hear what the others would be saying on the stand. Nope, try again. So, it was 2:40 you're telling us? They were desperately trying to get oxygen flowing into him so that he would not be brain damaged if he were to be revived. I think it's just plain silly and not worth even considering. Darlie suddenly and inexplicably snapped in the middle of the night. The boys were bleeding from their injuries, but the majority of their bleeding was internal and the blood was mainly confined to the areas in which they were attacked. His little demonstration showing how castoff blood from the knife supposedly dropped onto Darlie's night shirt by stabbing motions was completely over-exaggerated. When Karl learned her name, and the fact that her children had been stabbed to death in June of 1996, he put two and two together. If a wet towel or cloth came into contact with any blood in that area, it could have easily wiped it away. Guiltersthose who believe Darlie is guiltyhave a number of familiar reasons for doubting her story.

When you wake up, you may know intellectually what happened, but have no memory of the crash itself. But you don't remember that part; is that right? If the two police officers did not see this laying in the middle of the kitchen, it wasn't there. WTH? Because she had already been told that they were dead. Did Sergeant Walling ever tell her to administer first aid? I don't believe the glass broke when it hit the floor. She turned on the porch light and the men ran off. They were youngDarin was 28 and Darlie was 26and they were enjoying the money they were making. Did the Court get this one right? In one account, she fought with the intruder. I think every last juror saw every last one of those pictures. Scientists at the University of California, Irvine, found that acute stress activates selective molecules called corticotropin-releasing hormones. In 2021, The Innocence Project received approval to conduct new DNA tests on crime scene evidence, including the bloody sock. I love how the non supporters always say Darin was the primary suspect at first. Her wounds were superficial & she didn't know what/where carotid was. Routier was convicted in 1996 of the stabbing death of her young son. Was he supposed to keep quiet about that? This means that Damon had to have been stabbed within about a minute before the 911 call began.

It's not spatter, a splash, or even a drop. Bathrooms: 2. When it comes to this case, I have never been confident with either the crime scene preservation or the collection of the evidence. The biggest discrepancy was that the article cited Greg Davis as the attorney who cross-examined Darlie, when in reality, it was actually Toby Shook. I always suspected that the reason he ran upstairs was not so much to put pants on, but rather to flush something down the toilet or at least get it out of sight. Darlie Routier has been on death row for five years now, always insisting that she didn't kill her sons Devon and Damon.

Darlie would have known that he gets home around two in the morning, and if she did plant the sock, it had to be before the 911 call came in at 2:31. According to her arms, she certainly did. What would happen next? An attorney representing Darlie Routier, a former Altoona woman facing the death penalty in Texas for the murder of her two young children 25 years ago, said he is buoyed by an order issued last week in Dallas County ordering additional DNA testing of the massive amount of evidence collected in the case. That's funny, Laurie! Devon's death was not a rage killing; it was functional. 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. She knows her daughter did this. ..people who are usually on drugs, violent and dont want any witnesses.. consider that. He reiterated the time during cross-examination, and was adamant that his clock is set for the actual, precise time, and not a few minutes fast as some people are prone to do.

In an affidavit dated July 10, 2002, Potter described an incident in which she may seen one of the killers. Through open records, Quinncy was able to obtain police reports and information on Arkansas's known associates. So what about the future, lets say hypothetically, Darlie free. These fibers are also consistent with the brushes used for fingerprint dusting, and the knives were dusted for prints immediately after the screen, making a great case for cross-contamination. He loved to cut things and show off with his knife. You either understand the effects of psychological trauma and the memory lapses that accompany it, or you don't. 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. Darlie picked up the knife without thinking about it and headed back to the family room where she and her young sons had fallen asleep. You can believe that or not, but I have an email from Bryce Benjet acknowledging their involvement. The blood we see is mostly Darlie's, and it wasn't shed until after she stood up and began walking around. Q. ;). It is a minute, pinprick DOT. Groggy and confused, Darlie instinctively followed the man through her kitchen toward the utility room that leads out to a garage. JustinCase976 (author) on September 06, 2019: It sounds as if you have some firsthand knowledge of this crime, or of the players involved. Someone alleged a 'fired housekeeper & her boyfriend' did it. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: not even the most hardened criminals would go around talking about stabbing little kids if it never happened. Darlie had already ended the call with 911 by that time, so obviously, this is not when Waddell first arrived on the scene. Sponges and cleaning products beneath the sink were inspected, and not a drop of blood was found on either. The defense wanted to put Mr. Harrell on the stand to bring this discrepancy to the attention of the jury. I really don't see either the former maid or her boyfriend involved in this particular crime. In fact, a trauma nurse named Teresa Powers had provided lead detective Jimmy Patterson with an affidavit. I believe you are right, and the verdict was a "payback" of sorts. To a reasonable degree of scientific certainty (Assuming no identical twin) Darlie Routier is the source of the DNA from 10-2589-502. Quinncy was skeptical, to say the least. I am tired of feeding them. Guilters insist the only way this could happen is from Darlie raising the knife over her shoulder while stabbing Damon. She was calling for help, grabbing towels, running back and forth, etc. Can you show me ANY picture of him crushed by this major catastrophic event in his life. Its very unique. Just my opinion. Somethings up. The CPR is taking place in the Roman room (family room, den, whatever you want to call it), which is toward the back of the house, past the kitchen area. The detectives had crossed into a bit of a legal gray area by setting up a hidden microphone at the cemetery where funeral services for the children were to be held. 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. Ive read a lot about this case. My gut instinct is that Darin wanted to keep his hands fairly clean and didn't want to know about the details; therefore, I think he never directly communicated with the actual assailants. For the love of God, what is your obsession with Dr. Phil? I can easily envision Susan Smith releasing the parking brake of her Mazda and sending her boys off to their watery grave. This was a 12 day investigation with Darlie in the cross hairs from the get-go. I'm actually glad that you addressed that, Rachael. All right. She actually named a couple of different suspects in her letters. Question: Tell me more about how the DNA and AFIS databases differ, what are we looking for? If you have seen this image in connection with Darlie Routier, you have been grossly misled. After killing the kids and attacking Darlie, do you really think they are going to take anything with them that might possibly tie them to this house? This would also explain why it appeared as if there were "hesitation" wounds on her neck. As the man made his escape, he dropped a large butcher knife onto the floor. Next up is an expert who was never called to testify: Dr. Kenneth Dekleva, the state's own forensic psychiatrist. According to Karen, in early June of 1996, Arkansas, Dwayne, and a third man "got into a fight about drugs" and took a road trip headed for Dallas in a stolen white truck. However, Matt Walling, the second officer on the scene, actually parked his vehicle in the alleyway behind the Routier's house; Gorsuch would not have been able to see the car from his vantage point. Do you think the jury would of still voted guilty if they had saw all of the pics of her injuries? Two things to keep in mind: 1) The Innocence Project normally does not become involved with any defendant that already has counsel in place, so that right there ought to tell you something; 2) They also don't accept cases where there is no exculpatory DNA evidence. When an arrest is made for a felony charge, the suspects are automatically fingerprinted and the prints are uploaded into the system. That plan was still in place on the night of the murders, although it certainly raises the possibility that the men got the date wrong and were counting on the house being empty. The same reasoning applies to Darlie's interchanging usage of the pronouns "he" and "they." There were young children, in the room, and a fight broke out. This has been debunked by at least three other experts, but you don't need to be an expert to see that it is way too big for a 5-year-old child's finger. Fibers believed to be from a sliced screen were discovered adhering to a bread knife from the kitchen. The problem with the character they created, however, is that she never existed, but the jury and the general public fell for it anyway. False. Because of what happened to that woman in Texas.

All three were sleeping in the family room on the first floor of their upscale home. How long had they been in that house? It may go a long way with regard to getting her a new trial, but even that is not a given. I do agree with you that he was involved along with several associates. Thats what Id say hang on a sec while I change. Here's the problem with that theory: The process of taking photographs and collecting evidence didn't begin until later that morning. And then were awakenedwhat awakened you the second time, do you know? Is this what you do when you are the one who has stabbed your own children, and one of them is still alive and could possibly identify you as the one who attacked him? I can understand that, except that I'm at the opposite end of the spectrum. I have some other topics regarding this case i would like your opinion on. If they do, my bet is that is that someone is going to end up taking a deal from prosecutors. Darlie Routier told a detailed story about a man that broke into her home and stabbed her sons to death. Why even cut yourself at the sink at all? Her execution has not been scheduled. Aside from the supposed cleanup at the sink, there were other details that caused investigators to suspect the crime scene had been staged. I don't see where either Darren or Darlie ever said that. Like cortisol, these hormones disrupt the process by which the brain collects and stores memories. The print could only have been left while the blood was still wet, meaning that whoever left it was present at the time of the murders. For me, Im so excited!!!!!! These worms keep telling lies. The detectives were not called by the state to testify; it was the defense that put them on the stand. When he told her, she openly challenged him and asked if that was illegal. Had Bevel been on the other side of the case, I firmly believe Tolle would have ruled differently. And why did neither Darlie nor Darin mention it at all, if it was part of the "staging"? I don't doubt that these things happened, but I do think that she overreacted and willfully attempted to make the events of that day sound a lot more ominous than they actually were. Can you explain that? Darile will be home for Christmas this year, mark my words. They could not have an unsolved double homicide of two young children and the general public panicking about a lunatic on the loose. If that knife had been used to cause that large slice in the screen, there would have been a lot more fibers adhering to it. This caused the prosecution to claim that Darlie placed it there to further enhance evidence of a struggle. I swear these maggots have cancer of the brain eyes and heart because they cant think see or feel symapthy for poor Darlie. Incidentally, the song begins with a Bible verse, does not contain one single obscenity, and preaches a strong anti-gang and violence message. What do four of the world's top body language, behavior, and interrogation experts weigh in their personal opinions on behavior w. In my opinion, it is neither. A lot of people doubt that Darin was actually planning a burglary scam; they say he just made that up to help with Darlie's appeal. Bevel met with the defense team prior to the trial, including Lloyd Harrell, who was the investigator for the defense. Dr. Phil is a non-factor and is about as useful as tits on a bull. So then they went to plan B and used a hunting knife to slice open the screen. Okay. Or perhaps the glass on the footprints truly was staged after Darlie was taken to the hospital. Rickels went to the door and looked out the peephole. Answer: According to my research, witness perjury alone would not be enough to overturn the conviction. Guilters gleefully point out that Darlie used the phrase "I don't know" or "I don't remember" 72 times during her cross-examination. He also stated that he never actually saw the police officer get out of the car. Q. Waddell's response was that he did not; Walling stated that he did remember seeing it, but wasn't sure if it was there when he first came in, or if it was there later when he did a walk-through. She is not concerned about her own prints being on that knife; it's her knife, from her own kitchen. His testimony states: "I thought if she was worried about fingerprints on a knife, she could certainly take care of her kids." Pleading the 5th amendment seemed to be a recurring theme in this trial. The police and lead prosecutors Greg Davis and Toby Shook claimed that the crime scene was staged and that Darlie inflicted her injuries upon herself. They did this in the hopes that they would catch an earth-shattering graveside confession. He testified that on the morning of June 6, 1996, he had just settled into bed and drifted off when his sleep was broken by some kind of noise or commotion. If my wife started screaming downstairs Id be haulin arse to get down there. Cron certainly had an impressive resume and over 30 years of experience, but sometimes this can work against a person.

There is a chapter in that book that struck me like lightning, and I couldn't get it out of my mind. And if this is where Darlie cut her throat and stabbed herself in the arm, where is all the castoff blood? If you think he is anything more than an exploitative, hypocritical quack, I truly feel sorry for you. Darlie has always maintained her innocence. James Cron, a retired "crime scene analyst," arrived at the Routier home around 6:00 am. Q. I would have loved for Mulder to call her in rebuttal of the other nurses's testimony. I really hope the whole truth comes out, sooner rather than later. Although the crime scene photos show that there was blood all over the house, what they don't realize is that the blood was not present at the moment the intruder left. The whole attack happened in a matter of minutes, and wasn't necessarily as noisy as some may assume. If you're familiar with this case, you already know that a fingerprint, State's Exhibit 85-J, was discovered at the crime scenefound on a glass coffee table behind one of the sofas.

Thank's Adele. In Darlie's case, she probably subconsciously realized there had been more than one person, but since she only has a memory of seeing one of them, her confusion is understandable. WowI never really considered the possibility that perhaps Darin arranged it so that the "burglars" would come in when the family was in the house. Thanks for commenting. It was June 6, 1996, and the call was made at 2:31 a.m., with the police arriving merely three minutes later. JustinCase976 (author) on December 11, 2019: You know what, Melia? Now, at exactly 3:41 into the call, Waddell enters the home; you can actually hear the door as he enters. Two of them that testified one after the other used the same peculiar word to describe her: whiny. All right. I have to agree with you that he would not have taken the time to put on his jeans if he truly heard things breaking and Darlie screaming. Darin was a successful entrepreneur and Darlie was a. In the event that Darlie is fully exonerated, I guess it would be up to the DA's office whether or not they have enough evidence to pursue charges.

Because the first guy brought his own knife, which is what he used to cut the screen (we'll get to the bread knife later). The main focus was on Devon, who was not breathing. In response to this point, the "guilters" (those that believe in Darlie's guilt) will be quick to point out that Waddell's version of events is backed up by the eyewitness testimony of Darlie's neighbor across the street, Bill Gorsuchbut it isn't. The 6th of June 1996 2021 8:30:09 GMT -5: Total Posts:. What the prosecution does not say is that there was no evidence of Devon's blood present on the knife that was recovered from the Routier home; only Damon's and Darlie's blood were present. That does not, and never will, fall under the category of lying. This is the totality of Devon's blood on the back of the shirt. Youve got the wrong parent . She went to the door and screamed for Karen Neal, the nurse across the street. Devon scrambles to his feet and starts for the hallway. Would this reopen the case?

A 2008 study showed that short-term stress can damage the brain, taking minutesnot monthsto impact neurons responsible for learning and memory. Routier has always claimed a stranger had broken into the home and killed the kids . Okay. The scene was most definitely staged. Darin had appliedand been turned downfor a $5,000 loan on June 1st.

Much has been made of a diary entry in Darlie's journal dated May 3, 1996, a little over a month before the murders. One has to wonder how much evidence was missed, and not collected for testing. On the nights when Darlie would sleep on the couch, that wasn't an issue. According to Jovell, I believe she said the accomplice was a friend of her daughter's and that they took the car to a farm in Oklahoma to hide it.

The Rowlett PD was under tremendous pressure to solve this case and solve it quickly. Later in the call, she repeated that she touched the knife and said, "We could have got the prints, maybe." Q. Shook sure didn't seem to want to linger on the subject of Waddell and what was said to him, did he? I know that someone will likely make the argument that even if Arkansas and Dwayne did break into a house and stab young children in the Dallas area in June of 1996, who's to say that there wasn't a similar crime that was unrelated?

On the stand, Bevel testified that the mixture was actually the result of two separate occurrences, Darlie's blood having landed on the shirt first and then Damon's blood landing on the exact same spot of the shirt on top of Darlie's (or vice versa). Investigators (and guilters) claim that Darlie's bloody footprints under the broken glass on the floor is further evidence of a staged crime scene.

They already know exactly what they're going to say, and they don't deviate from it. I don't believe that Darin actually communicated with any of the intruders directly; I think there was a middle man who set this all up and somewhere along the line there was a miscommunication with regard to the dates the house would be empty.

I do not know who specifically moved the vacuum cleaner, but I'm fairly certain I know why: It was in someone's way. Q. 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. Once Pardo announced that his investigation led him to suspect Darin was deeply involved in the crime, the family dismissed him and his services. What happened next? My theory is that there was no direct communication between Darin and the assailants; I feel like he would have preferred not to know the details. I read the transcripts. Ah, I stand corrected - the IP was finally mentioned in msm in October 2021, after the motion linked upthread was granted. What do you remember Sergeant Walling telling either of the Routiers? It is known that Darin did go outside to get help from Karen Neal, another neighbor across the street who happened to be a nurse. Barbara was never their maid, she was an employee of their business. She mentions a struggle early in the 911 call to the dispatcher, but that is before Waddell arrives. If hes upstairs sleeping with the new baby and its 2:30 in the morning, why did he put his pants on? He also claims that Darlie described to him how she struggled or fought with the intruder by the kitchen bar, but that conversation never took place. Although her older son, 6-year-old Devon, died as well, the prosecution claimed that they only charged her with Damon's murder because, as a child under the age of 6, his murder qualified for capital punishment under Texas law. The Routier's Home at 5801 Eagle Drive: Devon and Damon called it "The Home Alone House." Have you ever read "The Disputed Conviction of Darlie Routier" by S Clemmons? Rickels explained that the lock was difficult to maneuver and would sometimes take several tries before opening. He was upstairs in the bedroom with Darin, probably sound asleep and snoring away. Darin and Darlie Routier were a young couple in their 20s with 3 children, 6-year-old Devon, 5-year-old Damon, and 8-month-old Drake. I see nothing in them that definitively points to Darlie's guilt, but I do see numerous red flags with regard to how the case was handled by both the prosecution and the defense. Bill Gorsuch was a neighbor who lived across the street and worked nights. It would have to be proven that: the witness knowingly gave false testimony; this testimony had a direct influence on the court decisions and/or verdict; and that the prosecution was aware of the false nature of the testimony--which even I have to concede that they may not have been. So..1993 they buy the house and hes already doing an insurance scam with BJs daughter . ? Within 20 minutes, he decided that the crime scene was staged and the perpetrator was someone in the house. Today's breaking news and more in your inbox. What gives? Was it Officer Waddell? I'm stunned that Darlie's lead defense attorney Doug Mulder did not immediately jump on this discrepancy but I have long suspected that Mulder may have purposely "thrown" this case, for reasons known only to him. Two of these associates were a married couple identified in the book as "Dwayne" and "Karen." Q. "Tell me what's going on?" He did not become fully awake, nor did he look at the clock. A. I guess, I'm not sure on how long it took him. When someone comes up with a cover story, they've usually got their details in order before they start talking. She had some over-the-counter sleeping pills on hand, but as she was writing the note, she abandoned the idea and did the healthiest thing possible: she reached out for help. They were doing what every other young married couple does: raising a family and living the American dream. How many times did the dispatcher say something along the lines of, "Ma'am, I need you to stay on the phone with me." That is NOT in Kathy's book and is not common knowledge, so I was taken aback to see that particular comment. Even a moron can conclude that Darlie was simply repeating information that was being fed to her. It's entirely possible that the only noises were grunting and some muffled screams. A third son, eight-month-old Drake and Darlie's husband, Darin, were asleep in the master bedroom upstairs. Darlie Routier - Part 1 Posted on May 15, 2022 Darlie Routier is sitting on death row for killing her two young boys, although she has only been officially charged with one of their murders. Darlie should be home fern Christmas. The prosecution successfully appealed to the conservative jurors' subconscious prejudices by usage of the above-mentioned emotional trifecta. The murders were premeditated, meaning Darlie chose to do this in the middle of the night, with Darin at home and just upstairs. The timeline was presented by the prosecution and was based on the length of the 911 call, and the testimony of Dr. Janis Townsend-Parchman, the doctor who performed the autopsy on Damon. I often hear people say something to the effect of: "Darlie was unduly concerned with her fingerprints being on the knife." I hear new DNA coming her way. 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. Inappropriate, he thundered. The case of Darlie Routier is controversial and has the support of the innocence project. Arkansas had also requested to see a psychiatrist while in jail, as he claimed he was suffering from nightmares and flashbacks related to one of his past crimes. The vacuum was photographed laying on its side, smack dab in the middle of the kitchen. Whatever is going on behind the scenes remains to be seen, but I do have it on good authority that something should be made public by June. Did Darlie get a fair trial? And this is the time when you told her to do that? I'm sorry, but it just doesn't wash. Glenn Mize was the only person Darlie could think of that she had a problem with, and Gary Austin's own wife threw him under the bus as a person of interest. Did you look at the clock when you woke up? She said she saw him, and that once they had more information on him, she was sure she'd be found innocent.
