Here is a quick summary of the DNA order/results: Darlie sought to test: 1. untested bloodstains and swabs from the butcher knife murder weapon, 2. untested bloodstains from her nightshirt 3. untested bloodstains from couch pillows 4. untested blood from the finger print on the...

I haven't seen any posts on the State's motion of last week. Long story short - the state requested that Darlie not be entitled to any more DNA testing b/c even if the rest of the items come back entirely in her favor, it is not enough to prove her innocence. There are also some chain of...

From what I understand (and mind you, the first trial transcript is sealed so I've never read it), the police really dropped the ball as far as evidence collection. I read an article that talked about photos of the bed that clearly showed fibers yet they were never collected. If Harper is...

He was called as a witness and may have been barred from the courtroom. I wouldn't think that would only apply to part of the trial, but maybe after his testimony he was allowed back in b/c he's a family member? I have no idea what EXACTLY was going on in that relationship but a few...

I agree that Darlie has managed to delay the inevitable for many years now, and has every intention of dragging this out as long as possible. The Courts are tired of her though. The recent Order basically says "put up or shut up" - they want status reports every 180 days. Her time is coming...

Right. Not all evidence is meant to definitively prove guilt. Not every piece of evidence is strong enough to stand alone. This case, like the vast majority of cases, depends on the totality of evidence. Every circumstance put together forms a picture - that picture needs to be strong enough...

I find Parker's testimony that Darlie said "if I did it, I don't remember" and Darlie's alleged absence of outright denial that she did it to be interesting. That's it - just interesting. I've read enough about interrogation practices to know that the purpose of a trained interrogator's...

All of the above with a touch of PPD & adrenaline pumping from diet pills. Seems like a classic revenge filicide case to me - which is much more common than any of us like to admit. I believe the children were killed to teach Darin a lesson. Whatever they fought about that night filled...

Doesn't matter. People kill without revealing their motive all the time.

@@ - Nice try. I have no authority to do anything to the Routier or Kee family. My opinion has zero bearing on the investigation or the fate of Darlie Routier. I'm talking on the Internet about things I find interesting. My words do nothing. The killer HAS been caught and I'm pretty...

Yes, he has. I don't have a marriage license. In the recent episode of On Death Row, it was stated that Darin had remarried and declined to be interviewed for the show. Believe it if you want, or don't. I am confident that Werner Herzog is such a stickler for facts and truth, that he would...

The point about the motion detector light is that there's stayed on for a good time when it was triggered - I think it was 9 minutes. And it was OFF when Waddell arrived, only 5 minutes or so after Darlie made that call, supposedly seconds after the intruder fled through the back door. How...

Darlie could have went right out of the front door, down that space between her house and the neighbors house, right to the back street. With a security light that stays on for several minutes and a gate that drags loudly when opened or closed, I'd say it would have been much less risky for...

And when was the last time Darlie Kee or Sarilda Routier pleaded with the public to help them find the killer of their grandsons? Have they ever?

I actually find the fact that Darin has not spoken publicly on the case for quite some time now to be more indicative of his belief in her guilt than innocence - if I were to wear my armchair psychologist hat. His divorcing her and re-marrying means nothing to me either way. There is no reason...

I do not consider it a stretch actually. I don't claim to know how she got those bruises - but I would think a man filled with rage could very easily grab someone so tightly that they'd appear. Don't know - just a theory. As far as sticking by her after all these years - first, he...

If his trophy wife with the 36 Triple D breasts that he told EVERYONE about was more valuable to him than his children - sure. He's a total creep. And he's hardly the first creep to choose a spouse over the children. Usually it's an abused/co-dependent wife who does this, but there's...

Maybe while she was on the phone and breathlessly squealing "I didn't do anything Darin"? Just a guess.

Sorry for my horribly worded last sentence. I'm multitasking :)

Darlie has spent the last 17 years of her life playing the victim. She's probably compartmentalized what she did to the point that although she *knows* deep inside, she still believes she's some sort of victim. She'll never admit it either. This is a woman who killed her children and then...
