Nope. The panties were never found. Supporters claim the "intruder" took them with him, supposedly what he settled for after killing two kids and foiling the rape attempt.Linda7NJ said:What happened to her panties? Were they ever found?
I know what you mean. It is like walking around in a maze.Linda7NJ said::waitasec: This case makes my head ache!
I was reading something the other day that stated that a pair of Victoria's Secret panties had been found in her jail/prison (can't remember which) cell and was taken away from her as contraband. I found it so odd that is the one thing she would hold onto that came from her past, esp since it was such a big thing in her trial. Could it be a trophy? That is a chilling thought.Jeana (DP) said:Darlie removed them and put them in the big pile of laundry that she passed right by during the staging process, IMO.
Unless she can describe and number each pair of panties that she owed and could zero in on what the "missing" pair looked like, how on earch could anyone know for sure that one was missing? Most of us have no idea how many panties we own.
Was this soon after she was arrested? No matter why they were there, it's mighty strange. Why were they contraban? You can't have pretty panties in jail/prison or were they taken because they might be evidence?Goody said:I was reading something the other day that stated that a pair of Victoria's Secret panties had been found in her jail/prison (can't remember which) cell and was taken away from her as contraband.

I believe it happened in 1998 during an interview with media. That would make it her prison cell as she was convicted and sentenced in Feb 1997.beesy said:Was this soon after she was arrested?

You are right, Goody. Even plain old sugar is contraband in TDC. Inmates are allowed to have plain white underwear and no fancy panties. It is possible that Darlie has some free world "friend" who is a guard on death row and who would bring in contraband panties for her just for the thought of her wearing them. The dentist at Gatesville got one of the inmates pregnant 25 years ago down there, so stuff does go on, but even lacy panties would be contraband, so they didn't have to be some crotchless nasties! Lesbian guards would not be out of realm of possibilities. But getting anything in the mail or during a visit in that place is out of the question. There are no contact visits. There is glass and a thick metallic screen between all visitors and just as you say, when a prisoner arrives there, every possible body cavity is checked out so fancy VS panties would probably not be her first choice of smuggled items.m The only free world human who ever gets near her is her lawyer, other than prison staff.Goody said:I believe it happened in 1998 during an interview with media.

Anything you are not allowed to have is considered contraband if they catch you with it. Someone had to smuggle it to her unless she managed to get through all the frisks (some of them are pretty invasive) from the jail to the prison.
Maybe she was so attached to VS panties,she just couldn't live without them. Seems unlikely though. I wonder why she had them though. Of all the contraband she could have had, you'd think there would be a whole list of other things much more useful to her.

I hadn't thought of the guards. I worked at a maximum security prison in the offices briefly years ago and there were continual problems with personnel getting involved with inmates. In spite of the high security measures, they caught a female counselor having sex with a male inmate. Another inmate watched the door. She was fired, of course. Then two married guards were dittling while on duty, and they were reprimanded, I think. Something happens inside those walls, All common sense seems to fly out of the window.Cowgirl said:The dentist at Gatesville got one of the inmates pregnant 25 years ago down there, so stuff does go on, but even lacy panties would be contraband, so they didn't have to be some crotchless nasties!

Somehow I can't picture Mulder or Mosty smuggling in VS panties. Hahaa.Cowgirl said:But getting anything in the mail or during a visit in that place is out of the question.

I don't think they were nasty. They were just expensive, LOL! VS makes nice panties too.Cowgirl said:Now, in Lew Sterritt, she could easily have had nasty panties. ...
The TV crew was at the prison interviewing her. It was long after she left Lew Sterret. Of course, she does seem to go back there for long stays so who knows? I can't remember what I was reading now so I can't even go back and look it up. Sure would be funny though if they were the so called "missing panties." We know that can't be but it would make great copy for a mystery, wouldn't it?Cowgirl said:They don't take away the underwear you come into the jail wearing and you have to wash them out yourself every night, so it is far more likely that if she ever had any panties it was at the county jail and not TDC.
I wonder if anyone has ever written to her fellow DR inmates and gotten their take on her guilt or innocence.Cowgirl said:Tee Hee, Goody! When I said nasty, I meant nasty as in naughty, not nasty as in smelly or dirty!
I guess either could apply to this dumbo bimbo though!
Prisons become just another little Peyton Place and I am sure Darlie has her admirers... when everyone is a murderer it is a little difficult to get too picky!
