At the time of this investigation, this case had more DNA testing than ANY murder investigation in Texas's history. DNA testing was simply no where near as advanced then as it is now. In order to test something for DNA - they needed certain types of biological evidence and they needed a...

Bull. There's debate surrounding the most solid of cases all the time. Sentence an attractive white woman to death and there's debate, whether it's warranted or not. If she was not sentenced to death, her name would have been forgotten 17 years ago.

I absolutely agree with this. Darlie Kee has done and said some deplorable things - but she's doing what a mother does. I don't agree with her tactics but a mother will do anything she can to save her child's life. Compare it to Darlie - who stayed on the phone for 5 minutes, talked to the...

Baloney. There is no missing knife - Devon's blood was rinsed down the drain which we know by its presence in the p-trap of the sink; there is no boot print - and if there was the defense would have jumped on it in her trial & appeals, it's completely made up by an untalented true crime...

Oh I absolutely agree with you there. It's funny though. If an intruder did this, you'd think they'd rush to test at least some of the items as soon as possible - instead of Darlie languishing in prison for another 5 years. Instead of going ahead and testing what's already been...

Yep. So the defense has been fighting for permission to test items for the past 5 years - even though it was already ordered - and just about all they've done so far is test two hairs that we already KNEW did not belong to the Routiers. What is the dang hold-up? She's not getting any...

Hi Steel. I am not a DNA expert but I am going to say that "assuming that an intruder bled at the scene" is QUITE a stretch. As you pointed out, DNA does not necessarily mean "blood" - and "no comparison could be made" does not mean "Routiers are excluded." Like you said - if some of...

I'm just curious how anyone could read the new status report and come away with the conclusion that the hairs were from inside a sock or that they matched each other. The documents posted in the beginning of this thread as proof of that say nothing of the sort. It's like the old game of...

This is not my work, it is Cami's. This is taken from the original lab report and the new status report. These are the two hairs referenced in the new status report: 10-259-1A Microcentrifuge tube labelled - 1879-5034B 10-259 -1B Microcentrifuge tube labelled - 1879-5035C This...

I have poured over this latest report for an embarrassing amount of time in the past two days. Here is what I've determined. 1. The two limb hairs DO NOT MATCH EACH OTHER. The hairs are labelled--10-2589-1A and 10-2589-1B. Look at the status report on under Appendix A. The DNA sequences...

And I'm sure it will be. Testing is not complete. This is only a status report. And it specifically states that Darlie & Darin are excluded as contributors. It does NOT state that they have been compared to anyone else. If it's not in the report - there's no proof it happened. Labs don't take it...

So you're just assuming the lab would have run those samples through CODIS? Quite an assumption to make considering the report says no such thing. Testing is not complete - hence a "status" report and not a "final" report. There is plenty more testing yet to occur. This status report merely...

I am getting it directly from the status report. Since it does not say those two samples match each other, it would be the duty of those making that claim to provide proof. I don't get my information from what other people on message boards say. I get my information directly from the source...

I am no DNA expert. I just re-read the DNA results of those hairs in the status report. It looks to me that they do NOT match each other. So are there two intruders? Or does one hair belong to an intruder and the other transfer, contamination, artifact, etc? If one of the hairs is...

Thank you for the welcome!

How do you know those two hairs match each other? How do you know where exactly those hairs came from, especially that one was inside the sock? I read the status report and I did not see either of those things stated there. I may have overlooked it, but do you have proof of either of...

2008 Decision/Order granting DNA testing: Page 9: Furthermore, because it was eventually located outside the Routier residence, the presence on the tube sock of human hairs from someone unrelated to the Routier family would have very little probative value. Those hairs could have come from a...

Two limb hairs that don't match the Routiers is NOT proof there was an intruder. Not even close. They have not been tested against the police, EMTs, family members, CSI, lab workers, etc. We have no idea if those hairs belong to Officer Waddell or James Cron or any of the other people...
