Waddell testified that when he first pulled up to the house, he saw a man (Darin Routier) coming out of the front door into the yard. Yeah .why wouldnt he inquire the same peeps to help again only 3 years later. In the book, Cruz describes how Darlie received a letter in 1998 from an inmate at another facility. Darlie Routier 2021 Information Darlie Routier Women On Death Row SID Number: 05664972 TDCJ Number: 00999220 Name: ROUTIER,DARLIE LYNN Race: W Gender: F Age: 52 Maximum Sentence Date: DEATH ROW Current Facility: MOUNTAIN VIEW Projected Release Date: DEATH ROW Parole Eligibility Date: DEATH ROW Inmate Visitation Eligible: YES Maybe one of them jumped on her while she was on the couch and they began fighting. If Darlie or Darin were ever asked, I couldn't find a record of it. Waddell stated that he approached the man, gun drawn, and asked Darin to identify himself. The logs will verify that both Bryce and Vanessa have been to see Darlieand I highly doubt they are flying to Texas from New York just for their health. Their notes, however, told a different story. Blood spatter analysis was inconsistent with Darlie's version of events. IMO. Anywhere. You never told him that any time he was in your house? Please do not try to tell me that the print was Damon's; the DNA blood map clearly shows that the child went nowhere near the glass table where that print was located. Questioning of Bill Gorsuch by Mr. Toby L. Shook: Q. Wonder who could have threatened Darin? Brian Pardo isn't actually an attorney. Reminds me of that scene in My Cousin Vinny: Judge: Mr. Gambini, that was a lucid, intelligent, well thought out objection. Routier has been fighting her death sentence since 1997 when she was found guilty of murdering one of her two boys. 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. DNA testing not available at the time was recently conducted and the results are discussed in the special. There are no photos of the Routier sink after Luminol was applied. 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. Q. JustinCase976 (author) on August 22, 2019: Thanks for your comment, Fern; it's always nice to hear another standpoint from a supporter of Darlie's innocence. SMH. Every time he would receive a mugshot, he would send it to Karl, who did not know Arkansas's real name and was not familiar with the man he had been arguing with. And didnt that famous attorney say after reviewing it all. The implants were a gift from Darin. JustinCase976 (author) on December 02, 2019: I have never heard about any African-American DNA found at the scene; could you provide a link? So please forgive me for not taking those transcripts as the holy grail of this case. The Rowlett PD was under tremendous pressure to solve this case and solve it quickly. I submit to you that if there was a vacuum cleaner knocked over in the middle of the kitchen floor, they would have remembered seeing it at first glance. Q. Okay. Putting him in the role of the killer feels just as wrong and forced as putting Darlie in that role. I do not doubt Gorsuch's testimony; to me, it proves that when he saw Darin and Waddell go into the house, it was several minutes after Waddell first arrived. Arkansas had a serious drug problem, a vicious temper, and little to no impulse control. The affidavit is only mentioned again once more, very briefly, and its contents have never been revealed. The angels: Devon Rush Routier and Damon Christian Routier. JustinCase976 (author) on September 06, 2019: It sounds as if you have some firsthand knowledge of this crime, or of the players involved. Answer: According to my research, witness perjury alone would not be enough to overturn the conviction. None of these areas appear clean. One of Darlie's non-supporters uploaded a video of him having a chat with Barbara Jovell about this very thing. Darin was too busy trying to resuscitate Devon, so he's not the one who got them out. The scene was most definitely staged. Even a moron can conclude that Darlie was simply repeating information that was being fed to her. They'll say he did it all and they didn't hurt anybody. Okay. This is actually quite common when victims refer to an unknown assailant or assailants. When it comes to this case, I have never been confident with either the crime scene preservation or the collection of the evidence. JustinCase976 (author) on February 03, 2020: Thank you for your email and the information you sent over. Kudos to you JustinCase Great article. Bedrooms: 3. It would be nice to settle her case one way or the other. Patterson would have been forced to admit in open court that no such confession had been made, at which point Mulder should have smiled like a shark, said "Thank you, no further questions" and sat down like the boss he was supposed to be. Fingerprint expert Jim Cron stated on the witness stand that "it could be a print from a juvenile." False. This case is unlike any other case that I have covered, because technically it's a solved case. You remember the paramedic, the one with the nickname Toad? JustinCase976 (author) on October 29, 2019: Heather Rose, I agree with you completely. Quinncy was skeptical, to say the least. The Routier's Home at 5801 Eagle Drive: Devon and Damon called it "The Home Alone House." On June 6th, 1996, someone brutally murdered two little boys and got away with it. Q. 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? 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. Her mother, Halina, had just been hired as a housekeeper but only worked 3 days before the murders occurred. Why do they have to do that if they're so confident in her guilt? 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. HOLLIDAYSBURG A Blair County judge has authorized the use of a computer generated animation to help a jury TYRONE The fitness and wellness center at Penn Highlands Tyrone soon will be closing its doors. 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. A third son, eight-month-old Drake and Darlie's husband, Darin, were asleep in the master bedroom upstairs. The state of Texas gave Darlie Routier the trial and verdict they WISHED they could have given Susan Smith. 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. Did the Court get this one right? 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. Rickels was shaken, but not alarmed enough to summon police. Still, the machine can't do it all. Under Toby Shook's brutal cross-examination, Darlie became non-responsive, argumentative, and even downright angry. Whatever it is, it must be favorable for Darlie. You had to literally walk right up to the spa to set the light off. Were Darins pants found? Trollslayer is one of several fake profiles causing chaos on hubpages. Okay. ", Karen said, "They said they broke into a house and it all went bad. How thorough can a murder investigation be in less than two weeks time? She cut the screen with the bread knife, ran down the alleyway to plant the sock, and ran back to the house. Darin was on baby duty, so she was able to allow herself to fall into a heavier sleep with the knowledge that she would not have to get up in the night and tend to Drake. Guilters gleefully point out that Darlie used the phrase "I don't know" or "I don't remember" 72 times during her cross-examination. It should be noted that not every nurse who treated Darlie was called to testify. I can understand that, except that I'm at the opposite end of the spectrum. Q. It's simply the brain's powerful way of attempting to align known facts with what you believe must have happened. Mayne is the winner, and he was not the victim of a traumatic attack that resulted in the murder of his children. 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. I believe it ALL happened. To eliminate this problem, they simply brought the dog into their room every night when they went to bed. 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. A guy like you would keep an accurate clock, wouldn't he? Poor Darlie ? At first she insisted there were no audio tapes; later she recanted and admitted that there were audio tapes, locked in a storage unit. Some people swear they have, other people say it's a load of crap. A. I guess, I'm not sure on how long it took him. I often hear people say something to the effect of: "Darlie was unduly concerned with her fingerprints being on the knife." No, sir, it would have been on the call as well, and it's not on there. I didn't take the psychic's claim that it was a woman too seriously. She claims an intruder entered her Dallas area home in June of 1996, stabbed two of her children, and attacked her. When you have a baby under a year old that sleeps in the same room with you, you never quite slip into that deep, restful sleep. (Attorney nodding head affirmatively.) 4) What, exactly, do you believe Darlie cleaned the sink with? Do you think her live-in bf had nothing to do with it as well? A diary entry from May 3rd of that year indicated that Darlie was contemplating suicide. In honor of the boys, the family chose this as one of the songs to be played at their funeral. Q. But Bill Gorsuch across the street worked nights, as I've already mentioned. Immediately, she "snapped back," came to her senses and had the presence of mind to do all this staging. A. I walked back over to where she was, and I asked her again who had done it, and if there had been any problems in the house, or if they had had any problems with anybody that she might think would have done it, and she told me no, and she kept telling me, that the guy was still in the house. Look at all the red spots that indicate where Damon went in the family room. 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. You're home alone with your teenage daughter, two men try to break in once, come back again with a weapon and break in a different way and you don't call the police? Did you have a conversation with Mrs. Routier? There was blood on literally everything the woman touched, but none on the wine rack, or on the actual glass itself. So Darin suspects Barbara Jovell or is this maid someone who is unnamed? 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. He would have had to have been kicking her arms for half an hour straight to cause that kind of bruising. 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. Did she struggle with the intruder? So why is he testifying under oath about a conversation that never happened? Darlie subsequently told investigators that an intruder had broken in and attacked her . You can say whatever you want about Mary Rickels and her story of the two men that tried to break in her house, but I have seen Arkansas's mugshot, and one of the men she described fits him to a T. The description of the other man very closely fits Dwayne. Good point about Darins pants. 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. Darin was a successful entrepreneur and Darlie was a. The circle indicates this is Devon's blood on the back of Darlie's night shirt. According to Karl, Arkansas told him that he had no choice but to kill the kid since he had seen his face and had tried to run out of the room toward the hallway. A Dallas County judge has signed an order for DNA testing on nearly 30 items in the appeal of Darlie Routier of Rowlett. A song about violence and death at the funeral of two slain little boys? I understand the guilters need to dismiss Rickels as a liar or as mentally unstable. I always laugh when people say all they had to do was pull the screen off, because that wasn't his way. This means that Damon had to have been stabbed within about a minute before the 911 call began. Because they were more than likely caused by two different people, with two different knives. So many questions too many coincidences. What mother wastes precious seconds while she's got two bleeding children right in front of her? Someone alleged a 'fired housekeeper & her boyfriend' did it. The spa was nowhere near either the gate, or the window that was cut. Okay. I am also in possession of a crime scene photo that clearly shows there is still some broken glass in the holder.
