Maybe she used it to "bite" down on while she slashed her own throat.

I agree that Helena was a nut-case and wasn't involved. The MacDonald case was my first true-crime obsession. I think I read Fatal Vision when I was 12 or 13. Then when I was in college and the Routier case happened, I started reading about that. The similarities are amazing. Anyway, I am...

Okay - I'm going to play the devil's advocate for a minute. In a society that has OJ Simpson, Law & Order and a general fascination w/ sensational murder cases - I CAN understand why she said she had touched the knife and maybe ruined the prints. Besides, it was the 911 operator who told...

And that's where I get stuck. I can't imagine that she killed them and he was clueless about it; If he came downstairs and saw what she was doing - why didn't he kill her? As much as I love my husband and as much as he loves me - there is NO WAY that either one of us wouldn't go into...

Well, when I'm on the "Darlie-Did-It" side of the fence, I think the fight w/ Darin set her off - they fought about money, Darlie feeling overwhelmed w/ the kids, maybe her jealousy over him spending time w/ Dana, etc. and then divorce came up. So he huffs off to bed and she grabs her pillow to...

The Darin involvement thing REALLY bothers me. I can't imagine that Darlie and Darin sat down, planned the murder of their children and then executed it. If Darlie did this, I don't think it was planned out; she basically blew a gasket over something and killed the kids. BUT I cannot...

Cami, thank you for the link. It freaks me out when I think about how similar these cases are.

Question: Were any of Damon's injuries classified as "hesitation wounds"?

That's what this case does to you!

Darlie killed Devon because he enraged her. After it was over and she was surrounded by the carnage, knowing that things would never go back to "normal," she "sacrificed" Damon because there was no plausible explanation as to why Devon would be dead and Damon would be alive. This is the...

This was a theory in the MacDonald murders - Dad killed wife and older girl out of rage and then sacrificed the 2 year old because he could not think of a plausible explanation as to why she would still be alive when the others were dead. The stab wounds on that little girl indicated that he...

Yes, I see what you mean - they were in shock and petrified. That makes me sad.

I don't believe that Darin could have slept through his children being slaughtered - neither of the boy's throats were cut, they had to be screaming bloody murder. Maybe he didn't "plan" to kill them w/ Darlie, but if she did do it, he had to have walked in on it. That's one of the reasons I...

Hey, thank you for the welcomes! This case makes me insane. I make up my mind that she's guilty and then hop right back on the fence a couple of months later. I do not understand how that HOUSE would not be torn apart if Darlie was fighting off an intruder. If it had been me, I would have...

I am so glad you revealed yourself easybz! I have a morbid fascination with this case and have been lurking on the Darlie board for a good six months. I haven't posted anything to date because I can't hold a candle to the "regulars" who post on this board; their dedication to and knowledge of...
