Cami, glad to know someone else thought "blanket" could be considered. While it's probably not what Darin said, many people pronounce blanket without the "n" being all that audible and that would be more probable during duress, when words are probably slurred.
And yes, the Routiers were on TV many, many times in the early days of the case. Far too many. One only needed observe them for any time at all to get a really weird feeling that something wasn't right. Sadly, I don't remember too much about Darin at the time but I will always remember Darlie and how each interview seemed oddly twisted in her mind like a potential Hollywood audition for some future starring role. Never did I get the feeling that her boys were on her mind when the cameras were rolling. While the silly string footage was obviously the worst of all, there were many others where she just smiled and was almost coquet-ish in her demeanor. Actions before a TV camera won't hold up in Court but they sure helped me form an opinion rather quickly. And, as odd as this opinion might seem to others, I knew immediately that something was very wrong when she "slept" through her boys being brutally attacked but could no longer sleep upstairs with Drake in the room because just the sound of him rolling over in bed would wake her up. Excuse me! Two boys brutally attacked just feet from her and she can't hear a thing? Or better yet, according to which story of her's you believe, she darn near slept thru the assailant slitting her throat.
