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. One sticking point has been the DNA evidence. Of course, the "guilters" took that and ran with it. And, you're telling this jury that it was 2:40 when Darin started to yell? Perhaps someone on Darlie's defense team did seek her out and decided her information was not particularly useful; or she may have slipped through the cracks in the shuffle of switching from the court-appointed attorneys. Was he sleeping in his pants? No, sir, it would have been on the call as well, and it's not on there. She must have felt deeply violated. They just try and muddy the waters and confuse people with untruths that cannot be proven.

Routier suffered a near-fatal stab wound to her neck, which just missed the carotid artery. (Attorney nodding head affirmatively.)

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. Look at the floor plan of the Routier's first floor to get a better idea of where they were positioned. There could be any number of reasons why blood could have appeared to be wiped away, but please don't expect me to believe that an actively bleeding woman made a half-hearted attempt to clean up blood and then just gave up.

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. Testing will be made on a sock that was found away from the scene of the murder, hairs recovered from the sock, Routiers shirt, blankets and pillow cases found at the scene, the jeans worn by Routier and the children, fingernail clippings from the children, a bloody knife and hairs on the knife. "What is a yoot?" Rickels was shaken, but not alarmed enough to summon police. What I do fault him for is his perjury and outright character assassination of Darlie during his testimony. 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. When Shook confronted her with these letters, she became angry and demanded to know where he had gotten them. About 1520 minutes later, Rickels heard noises again, this time coming from her daughter's empty first floor bedroom. What happens next? There were two strange men standing on her front porch. Glass remained in the wine rack, proving that this glass was not broken by being thrown to the floor. In other words, Bevel was saying that both victims were injured and actively bleeding when the drops were deposited, and their mixed blood landed on the back of the shirt. This enables LE to compare unknown prints against known felons. 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. I always had a remote interest in the case and followed the stories for years. She never should have testified. ", At the time, Karl had been in jail for months and knew nothing of the Rowlett murders. What about brown long haired guy - any ID on him?

Blood under glass & vacuum. 5) Her changing stories--they really didn't change all that much, and there is no reason why everything she said couldn't possibly have happened. I believe that when Darlie turned her back to tell Damon to stay back, the guy doubled back down the hallway. 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. Not to mention the fact that the whole Dr. Phil thing was spearheaded by non-supporters; you know, the people that want to see Mrs. Kee's child put to death. She was calling for help, grabbing towels, running back and forth, etc. JustinCase976 (author) on December 05, 2019: I'll tell you exactly what I think, and have always thought: it's downright IRRESPONSIBLE to rely upon the fractured memories of a traumatized crime victim whose entire recall of that night is like a piece of Swiss cheese.

DLR should easily be released. If she was laying on the couch, and a man with a knife mounted her, the first thing anyone would do would be to raise their arms up defensively, thus accounting for the black-and-blue bruising up and down her arms. 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. 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? Okay. Let's say that Waddell is correct when he says that he saw a man come out of the front door and into the front yard when he first pulled up. They were youngDarin was 28 and Darlie was 26and they were enjoying the money they were making. They had the nurses pass around various photos of Darlie's injuries and the crime scene, but they also slipped Devon's and Damon's autopsy photos in with them. She turned on the lights to find that she and her children had been stabbed and were soaked in blood, thus beginning the worst nightmare and biggest fight of her life. I'm open-minded and always willing to consider new evidence, but at this point I don't feel as though anything that happened that night was planned. Karl sat down and promptly wrote to Darlie, sharing this information with her. Consider this: If Waddell truly did see a man come out of the front door and into the yard when he first arrived and lost sight of that man while getting out of the car and walking up to the house, then it is a reasonable assumption that the person Waddell saw was one of the intruders/killers. They also found a large, bloody kitchen knife on the counter top, the possible murder weapon.This is the same knife Darlie told 9-1-1 that she already picked up when chasing the man out of her house.

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. So he and his thug drug friends have to be involved. You seem to be one of the most thoroughly researched & credible sources out there regarding this whole mess.

Have they taken her case or what? 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.

In a move that would turn out to be an epic fail, defense attorney Doug Mulder used this as an excuse to blast the detectives and insinuate to the jury that they had broken the law with their graveyard surveillance. So riddle me this: How is it possible that Darin can make it all the way through the house, out the front door, into the yard, wait for Waddell to get out of the police car, walk up to him, and ask him to identify himselfin the span of 12 seconds? 2021.

They break into what they think is an empty house and come upon the family room. It proves nothing. When the 911 dispatcher picked up, Darlie was just blurting out the words, trying to get it all out. I also believe Devon and Damon were killed by two different people, with two different knives.

The murders were premeditated, meaning Darlie chose to do this in the middle of the night, with Darin at home and just upstairs. I hope its the garage door to a new life for her. When he told her, she openly challenged him and asked if that was illegal. Seems as if Darin is the Ghislaine Maxwell of this case. He's a wealthy businessman from Waco who hired his own investigators to look into the case.
