Sometimes she felt like everybody expected too much of her, and there was more. He killed our babys.I walked back into house pushed my way through the police and saw the knife on the bar in kitchen w/blood all over it. It was a dark and windy night in the town of Rowlett, Texas. Slowly, Darlie told Darin what had happened: They had been asleep, a stranger had come in, killed the boys and assaulted her. Everything she said was a freaking lie. Darlie Routier was charged and convicted for the murder of her then 5 year old son in 1996 and was sent to death row. She was also heard that day, on a tape recorded message, shouting and swearing at both her two older sons and her husband. It was frustrating to know Darlie went out of her way to lie and cover for Darin. After Darlie woke at the hospital Darin was there in her room bragging to her how this was going to be bigger than movies and books. Very interesting. OFFICER WADDELL WAS THE FIRST OFFICER ASSIGNED TO THE DOOR AND HE WAS ALSO THE ONE WHO MADE DARIN LEAVE THAT HOUSE. On June 6th, 1996, Darlie Routier and her sons Devon and Damon Routier were awaken by the tip of a knife. THERE IS NO NEED TO WONDER WHERE GREG DAVIS GOT THE IDEA THAT DARLIE WAS THE GREEDY MATERIALISTIC ONE. Darin and Darlie were married in August 1988, a little more than three years after they met, waiting only because they were so young. Darin had always been quiet and strong, the responsible one of his peers. Although it may sound insane, this was all due to a mother who did not have the patience for the children and valued her . They were planning to buy a filing cabinet within the week. He didnt care, he said, he just wanted to see Darlie. I'd like to interview the source for my show. Also, if the trial had been moved to a more urban or suburban county instead of a small, rural, conservative county, the trial would not have left such a bad taste in people's mouths. She deserves to be where she is. I often see things posted online that I've found seem to be misconceptions. HE MADE SURE TO POINT OUT AND MAKE IT CLEAR HE KNEW THE NIGHT BEFORE WHERE DEVON WAS WHEN HE WENT TO SLEEP THE NIGHT BEFORE. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT WHEN DARIN RAN OVER TO KAREN'S HOUSE HE KNEW EVERYTHING WAS UNDER CONTROL AND HELP ARRIVED. WHEN DARIN WROTE THIS POLICE REPORT IT WAS ONLY 2 DAYS AFTER THE MURDERS. If you continue to use this site we will assume that you are happy with it. PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THE ONLY POSSIBLE WAY FOR HIS UNDERPANTS TO HAVE THE SAME BLOOD STAINS AND THE BOYS BLOOD TYPE ON THEM WAS IF HE WAS WEARING THOSE PANTS AFTER THE BOYS WERE ATTACKED. Darlie didn't know that Darin told police that she was the one to open the door for officer Waddell. In my opinion that is what motivated and convinced Darlie not to tell the truth about what she knew about Darin. I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT ANOTHER FACT HERE. I WAS STUNNED TO HEAR THOSE WORDS COME OUT OF HER MOUTH. Many other mementos also went into the casket, from stuffed animals to silver coins, and Coolios rap tune, Gangstas Paradise, which the boys had loved to dance and jump around to, was played during the funeral service. Darin hung on her every word. He got through the days with supportive hugs from the many women in his family. She gave up journalling because she didn't want her children to see her "sad" after writing. The very first thing Darin claimed was he had asked the officers to either record his statement or video tape him during his statement. She sees the man drop the knife and go into the utility room. Darlie Routier, 40, was convicted in 1997 of killing the couple's middle child, 5-year-old Damon, the year before. Darlie Routier, 26, has cut and stab wounds on her neck and upper body. IN THIS POLICE STATEMENT DARIN CLAIMS HE RAN FROM THE HOUSE RIGHT AFTER WADDELL ARRIVED AND WENT TO KARENS, HE IS ALSO ADMITTING HE WAS IN THE HOUSE WHEN THE MEDICS ARRIVED THERE IS AT LEAST A FOUR MINUTE GAP THERE? It can be used by investigators to follow leads, but everyone is so different and shows emotion differently I hate when they include that stuff in court. He was killed days before turning seven. COME ON, HOW COULD SO MANY INVESTIGATORS AND POLICE AND LEGAL EXPERTS HAVE MISSED THIS? He said he was woken by Darlie screaming Devon's name out over and over. Anyone who's read anything about the Darlie Routier case knows that Routier was filmed spraying silly string on her son Devon's grave at a birthday celebration held for him. WE KNOW FOR A FACT BY THE 911 CALL DARIN DID NOT STAY WITH DEVON FOR FOUR MINUTES DOING CPR. The baby was brought in for a little while, then, when Darlie was shown pictures of Damon and Devon, she just fell apart, Darin said. DARIN KNEW WHEN THEY REMOVED DAMON FROM THAT HOUSE THERE WASN'T A DROP OF BLOOD LEFT IN HIS BODY. The way people show emotion after a death should never be used in trials. FOR 23 YEARS DARIN HAS BEEN TRYING TO COVER UP AND COME UP WITH EXCUSES AS TO WHY HE NEVER STOPPED TO HELP DAMON. I don't think I can post a link for the story or the video but it was easy to find. Darin jumped into a pair of jeans, grabbed his glasses and thundered down the long spiral staircase, fearing that one of the boys had crashed through a glass table top. Turn on desktop notifications for breaking stories about interest? And the coroner also testified to that during the trial. It's just time for him to try to move on and try to find some kind of happiness. This was about Darlie lying to cover for Darin. THERE WAS NOT A SHRED OF DEBRIS FROM THAT FLOWER ARRANGEMENT ON OR AROUND THAT TABLE. IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO SEPARATE THE murder story from the love story that dates back to Mothers Day in May 1985, when 15-year-old high-schooler Darlie Lynn Peck sashayed through the front door of a Western Sizzler restaurant in Lubbock. It just appeared to me after Detective Jimmy Patterson came on the scene all the evidence implicating Darin just magically disappeared. Darin will be a part of the docuseries and will most likely share his recollection of what happened that night and what he and his family have been through since then. Her mother found work at a Western Sizzlin restaurant . After my conversations with officer Nabors I didn't know what to expect. When he finally reached her in the ICU recovery area, she was still groggy but hysterical, heavily bandaged and wanting to see Drake. HE WAS TURNED DOWN FOUR TIMES. They had five cats themselves and one little dog, a Pomeranian named Domino. He tapped his chest. So we helped her onto the stretcher and she said Darin you have to promise me we will find this man! In my opinion Officer David Waddell should have been a major factor in this case but he wasn't. The reason I know this is because once again Greg Davis was able to get Darin to admit to him in August that he didn't hear Darlie scream out to anyone because he wasn't there. How climate change and forest management make wildfires harder to contain, Disparity in police response: Black Lives Matter protests and Capitol riot. GREG DAVIS WAS FULLY AWARE OF ALL THESE DETAILS IN AUGUST. Business was good; the bills were paid. There's nothing pointing away from the possibility that the Routiers were working together to kill their sons. IT WASN'T DARLIE WHO MADE UP THAT LIE OR STAGED THOSE FLOWERS IT WAS DARIN. THIS MIGHT SEEM LIKE A MINOR DETAIL TO SOME, BUT TO ME IT SPOKE VOLUMES. That is when I learned that Waddell had been transferred from Rowlette to another department. This conversation happened between approximately 10:30 p.m. and 1 a.m., only hours before the murders. Darin, who had refused to let the boys play with knives, slipped little pocketknives into the coffin as a final present. ONE THING I HAVE LEARNED THROUGH THE YEARS ABOUT DARLIE, SHE HAS BEEN LYING AND COVERING FOR DARIN RIGHT FROM THE GET GO. Darlie Routier Responding to Darlie Lynn Routier's frantic 911 call from her Dallas County home in 1996, police found her two sons, Devon Routier, 6, and Damon Routier, 5, dying of stab wounds. The caption reads "Throwback Thursday Darin and I 30 years ago. In fact, the whole family does. He was a handsome guy and had a lot of gorgeous girlfriends, his brother, Deon, remembers. Darin had jumped into the hot world of electronics and created a small company called Testnec to test circuit boards, and the money rolled in. WHEN I READ THIS I WAS FURIOUS. In fact Darin appeared to be very calculating and very organized when the police arrived. WE KNOW FOR A FACT BY DARIN'S OWN STATEMENTS TO GREG DAVIS IN AUGUST THAT HE DID NOT GO OVER TO DEVON BEFORE DARLIE DIALED 911. Waddell told Darin to leave the house and go be with friends. ON JUNE 7TH, DARIN WENT TO DALLAS AND HE PICKED UP HIS WALLET FROM THE DALLAS POLICE DEPARTMENT AFTER A BUSINESS OWNER TURNED IT IN AFTER FINDING IT LAYING ON THE STREET IN FRONT OF HIS SHOP? The debt grew, but all the bills got paid. DARIN APPEARED TO TRY AND COVER EVERYTHING. Besides a used 86 Jaguar, Darin collected expensive sports memorabilia and Darlie was decked out mighty fine with fur coats, designer dresses, cashmere sweaters and naughty swimwear. When Routier was a teenager, she relocated to Lubbock with her mother and stepfather Robbie Kee. IT WAS BOTH INFURIATING AND SICKENING TO KNOW THAT THEY COULD HAVE SOLVED THIS CRIME YEARS AGO. Police and prosecutors are just as convinced the real killer is locked up and under the death sentence. Because if they were working together, they would have had as much time as they wanted to stage a scene, like a struggle. IT WAS LIKE HE WAS GETTING OFF ON THE LOOK OF SHOCK ON THE FACES OF PEOPLE HE WAS TELLING HIS STORY TOO. DARIN WAS NEVER TREATED FOR SHOCK AND I KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT VICTIMS WHO ARE SHOCK TO KNOW THEY ARE NOT CAPABLE OF LYING AND MANIPULATING AN ENTIRE SITUATION. The sex toys found in the house? She said the man did not turn around. He was killed days before turning seven. ALL OF A SUDDEN DARIN DECIDES HE NEEDS HELP? Every piece of evidence has an answer. Darlie said Darin drove Dana home and returned about 10:30pm. . On June 6th right after the police arrived Darin told the first responding officers he had been asleep upstairs when he was woken by Darlie screaming. DARIN DIDN'T ONLY HAVE JEANS ON, HE WAS ALSO WEARING HIS UNDERPANTS. The sparks were flybig. There was a lot to stare at, for young Darlie was a perfect package of curves, beauty and charm. But prosecutors portrayed her during her trial as selfish and materialistic, and contended that she killed Damon to rid herself of a financial burden. Their marriage clearly had major issues. He told me he put a request in for a transfer before the murders and it came through right after the murders. WE ALSO KNOW FOR A FACT THAT DARIN LEFT THAT HOUSE AND AT SOME POINT DARLIE WAS CALLING OUT FOR HIM. The birthday party was filmed by the local news, who were invited there by the Routiers. Darin tried CPR on Devon; the boys blood gushed out every time Darin pressed his chest. HE DID NOT HELP HER ONTO THE STRETCHER. Those were for a pet cemetery burial for Darlies recently deceased 18-year-old cat, Sam. I knew that Devon was dead before I ran across street and Damon had no pulse but the paramedic carried him out in a blanket out the front door. ON THE 911 CALL WE CAN HEAR THE DOG BARK FOR THE FIRST AND ONLY TIME AT EXACTLY 3:33:30AM. And the scribbles about who would get the boys if something happened to Darin and Darlie? He knew exactly how high the window was up in the garage. HELP HAD ALREADY ARRIVED. I believe it came from untreated PPD. GREG DAVIS CONFRONTED DARIN ABOUT THIS LIE IN AUGUST AND DARIN SUDDENLY BEGAN TO HAVE MEMORY LOSS OF CERTAIN DETAILS AND CLAIMED HE WAS CONFUSED. Recently I've been reading about the Darlie Routier case, including some of the trial transcripts. Darlie was crying. It's been very hard on all of us, because she's innocent. EVEN TO THIS DAY I STILL SEE THAT GRIN ON HIS FACE AS HE TALKS ABOUT DEVON AND THAT CPR HE DID ON HIM. Later on, as his wife went on trial, he testified in her favor, maintaining that shes innocent and that hed love to start another family with her when theyre together again. HE WAS SWIMMING IN DUPING DELIGHT WHEN HE WENT INTO DETAIL OF DEVON AND HIS INJURIES. I want to walk through all the calculating manipulating lies Darin has been telling for the past 23 years starting with his first statement he gave to the police on June 8th. They could afford it; years of hard work had paid off. Im right here with the police. I even think the autopsy photos are online somewhere - so go look. We also know he went back upstairs before the police arrived and we know for a fact Darin snuck out of that house right after Waddell arrived. THIS IS THE FIRST CPR DARIN DID ON DEVON, OR WE ASSUME HE DID ON DEVON. DARIN MADE UP SO MANY DIFFERENT EXCUSES AS TO WHY HE NEVER HELPED DAMON, BUT IT WAS LATER PROVEN ALL HIS EXCUSES WERE LIES. The blood evidence proves her story to be true.
