It's simply the brain's powerful way of attempting to align known facts with what you believe must have happened. Darlie Routier told a detailed story about a man that broke into her home and stabbed her sons to death. Question: Tell me more about how the DNA and AFIS databases differ, what are we looking for? There's so many details that just don't add up. What I do fault him for is his perjury and outright character assassination of Darlie during his testimony.

Smith had a good 40 years of experience on the sea, but he still sank to the bottom of the Atlantic with the Titanic in 1912. Why do they have to do that if they're so confident in her guilt? Lead detectives Jimmy Patterson and Chris Frosch would also plead the 5th when called to the witness stand. That much I believe; I also believe that in the time it took to park the vehicle, step out, draw his gun, and walk from where he parked to where the man had been standing, he lost sight of him. He never notified the dispatcher that he was on the scene; therefore, the dispatcher had no idea that a police officer was in the house and did not realize that Darlie was speaking to him.

The prosecution asserted that Darlie had enough time to commit the murders, run 75 yards down the alley to deposit the sock daubed with Devon's and Damon's blood, run back to the house, slash her throat, inflict her other injuries, and stage the scene. 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.

But Bill Gorsuch across the street worked nights, as I've already mentioned. Barbara was never their maid, she was an employee of their business.

Charles Linch, a trace evidence analyst, testified that the bread knife from the kitchen was used to cut the screen. At the time, Darlie had two different private investigators working on the case and feeding her (sometimes conflicting) information. Hardly. None of her three trials were fair. I actually learned about this from a YouTube video. I'm going to outline some of those concerns in this article. Well, if there was, I can't find a record of it. Police almost immediately focused on Routier, who was sleeping in a downstairs television room with the children.

There were at least a dozen people coming in and out of that house in the early morning hours. Yet I am supposed to believe that this so-called materialistic woman, who took pride in her home and her belongings and was by all accounts a fastidious housekeeper, willingly chose to spill blood all over that beautiful white carpet? Have you ever read "The Disputed Conviction of Darlie Routier" by S Clemmons? 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? Next up is an expert who was never called to testify: Dr. Kenneth Dekleva, the state's own forensic psychiatrist. Okay. Guilters will say that Darlie attacked the boys, and then ran down the alleyway to plant the sock before running back to the house, seeing Damon was still alive and moving around, and then stabbing him again before inflicting her own injuries. Mayne is the winner, and he was not the victim of a traumatic attack that resulted in the murder of his children. [Interesting side note: before testifying in the Routier trial, Charles Linch had recently been hospitalized for alcoholism and depression. Two of them that testified one after the other used the same peculiar word to describe her: whiny. "What is a yoot?" They did not return.

Darin and Neal had planned this for months against Darlie. Steve Cooper has known about this evidence for many years but that maggot has not got Texas to look at it. 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. JustinCase976, please do not be fooled by all of these fake profiles. Could you tell us what that conversation was? The ambulance that was directly in front of Walling parked along a curve on Eagle Drive, across from the Routier's house and directly underneath where Gorsuch was standing.

Whether they moved it mindfully or subconsciously, I can't say, but I'm 100% confident that it was moved after police arrived and were inside the house. This fingerprint did not match one single person who was known to be in the house that night; it did not belong to any of the Routiers, nor did it match any of the police officers or paramedics (all were printed to rule them out). However, if there is one thing I would personally love to ask Darlene Potter, it would be this: How is it that, more than six years later, she can be absolutely sure that the date she saw these men was indeed June 6, 1996? I have to echo the same sentiment expressed by Marcia Clark when she described the OJ jury seeing pictures of a bruised and battered Nicole: they saw it, they understood itAND THEY JUST DIDN'T CARE. It is my personal belief that the noise Gorsuch first heard, before coming fully awake, was the sound of Darlie screaming out the front door for Karen Neal. It could have been perfectly innocuous, and a police officer or paramedic may have inadvertently kicked the glass out of the way. The vacuum was photographed laying on its side, smack dab in the middle of the kitchen. I can understand her anger and frustration at yet another violation of privacy. A.

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. Doesn't make sense. Suppose he had trouble sleeping and came down the stairs for a glass of water while she was doing all this? Do you know who was involved in the insurance fraud Darin/Jag/ 1993? I do not fault him if his memory of the events is not accurate, linear, and chronological; under those chaotic and traumatic circumstances, I would not expect them to be. Bevel met with the defense team prior to the trial, including Lloyd Harrell, who was the investigator for the defense. She told me that she had fought with somebody in the kitchen area, and that after she fought with him he had ran out into the garage and dropped the knife somewhere in the kitchen, between the kitchen and the garage, and that she had went and picked up the knife, and laid it on the counter, which was, she pointed to the counter, and the knife was sitting there. I told her not to worry about that. No, sir, it would have been on the call as well, and it's not on there. It makes sense, right?

She was calling for help, grabbing towels, running back and forth, etc. Because of what happened to that woman in Texas. One also must wonder if there was actual evidence of an intruder, did it conveniently disappear? And then were awakenedwhat awakened you the second time, do you know?

After reading all of this and the other sources, it seems as though Darin had struck a deal with someone who had been in the house at least once. This whole case reeks of corruption!

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.

During this meeting, Bevel stated unequivocally that the blood mixture on the back of the shirt was the result of one single occurrence of spatter. There is 100% proof that Darlie was drugged the night of the murders. I've looked, believe me. The inmate is identified only as "Karl," but the contents of the letter were a bombshell.

The Routier home, which has 2,740 square feet, is listed for $396,000, or $145 a square foot. I love how the non supporters always say Darin was the primary suspect at first. In order for blood to be under the glass, Darlie would have to be bleeding before she tossed the glass onto the ground, right?

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. There's always a part of you that's on alert, waiting for a whimper or cry that signals it's time to warm up a bottle or grab a fresh diaper. The first thing that woke Darlie up was the breaking glass. They could not have an unsolved double homicide of two young children and the general public panicking about a lunatic on the loose. It is in the toxicology report, but Greg Davis lied and would not turn over the results to th edefense during the trial.

The emotion, the anguish, the terror, the panic you're getting a glimpse into another person's living helland every parent's worst nightmare. 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. Imagine the fallout if the public got wind of the fact a child killer literally slipped right under Waddell's nose. So what's the deal with the Innocence Project? And this is the time when you told her to do that? So, I did the next best thing: I asked multiple sources close to the case, and received the same response from more than one person: Domain would be brought into the bedroom every night from the first week they got him.
