If Darlie had smeared the handprint, there would still have been traces of blood on the sofa. The handprint was revealed by luminol. Have you seen any of the pictures taken by blue light?

I have all sorts of problems with this case but the one that really gets me is the time line. How about if Darlie starts setting the scene, stabs the boys, runs the sock down the alley and comes back to cut herself. She discovers that Damon is not dead after all and has managed to crawl to the...

Luminol revealed that the area around the sink and the sink itself showed blood was wiped up. There are actual pictures of this luminol test (which I am far too lazy today to go look up). Luminol also revealed that a small, bloody handprint had been wiped off the sofa.

Don Davis, the author of 'Hush..' was interviewed about the case and was directly asked, "Did Darlie do this?" Davis nodded and replied "Most probably." The point of his book is not that Darlie is innocent, just that she didn't receive a fair trial.

If Darlie's attorney had used her mental state as a defense, that would have been an admission of her guilt. I'm guessing Darlie did not know she had a carotid artery, much less know where it was. Damon and Devon's blood on the back of her nightshirt, blood down the sink, clean-up of blood at...

Darlie did not want to admit that she and Darin had had a flight that night and she was sleeping downstairs in a fit of temper, so she made up that flimsy story of the baby keeping her awake. I've read or heard somewhere that both boys were upstairs in their beds and the fight woke them up...

From an interview with Ann Zimmerman in the Dallas Observer in Aug. '98, Darlie said hypnosis helped her remember that there were two intruders, although she saw only one leave. One had darker skin. Brian Pardo arranged for the hypnosis, although now Darlie and her family have severed ties with...

]I can't take that clip seriously with that guy who is supposed to be Darin!! Wow! How about Darlie in a tee shirt and boxers and her putting the knife back in the drawer????

The motive offered was that Darin was a loving father and Darlie resented the attention he gave the boys. Also, that taking care of the boys was too time consuming and Darlie could not go out and do what she wanted. Money was a factor too. Patricia Springer was interviewed and still insisted...

The show did portray Darlie as guilty, but was a total waste of time.

2 percenter, Thanks for replying to each of CathyR's statements. I just didn't have the will to go thru this again with a 'newish' poster!

Darin has not visited Darlie in almost a decade. Darlie Kee takes Drake to visit Darlie. As for Darlie "turning" on Darin, she has nothing to turn on, except maybe that he helped in the coverup.

I've seen an interview, fairly recently, with Dana. Since Darlie's conviction, Dana seems to have been in agony, believing it is her fault Darlie was found guilty because she bought the Silly String and brought it to the cemetery. As you said Cami, it doesn't matter who brought the Silly String...

"You have to separate the tragedy from the marriage. Do you know anyone who would have waited 15 years? So it doesn't change anything." Strange statement from a strange guy!

Jantz almost certainly rules out either of the boys as the print owner, as their prints are too small. Darin's would be too large. Darlie describes the intruder as about Darin's size which would indicate that a man that size would have prints too large, also or else he has absurdly small hands...

So, back to your original statement. How did the police 'bungle' the investigation? (It would be best for discussion if you do not answer a question with a question.Give the reasons for your saying the police were bunglers.)

I have been following this case since 1996, so please tell me you're not seriously going to say the police bundled all the evidence together so that it was contaminated. Please tell me you're not seriously going to say that the police moved the vaccuum cleaner and kicked the blood-stained glass...

And just what did the police bungle?

Good reply, Cami. And let's not forget the biggest reason why it couldn't be Darin who stabbed the boys. Darlie claims that she saw the intruder's face 'in profile' as he walked away from the sofa and it wasn't Darin.

The source for this info is Darlie's family. Nelda Watts had lived across the street from the Routier's for 3 years and could certainly tell the difference between Darlie at 26 and her younger sister, Dana, 16.
