Description

Part 1: In the early morning hours of June 6th, 1996, a woman named Darlie Routier called 911, screaming that she and her sons had been stabbed. When police and paramedics arrived on the scene, 6 year old Devon Routier, who would have been 7 in a week, was already dead, from 2 deep stab wounds.

5 year old Damon Routier had four stab wounds to his back and was unresponsive but was still rushed to Baylor hospital where he was pronounced dead at 3:26am, an hour after his mother called 911.

Darlie Routier was brought to the hospital with what looked like a very serious slash to her throat and was taken immediately into surgery. She would awake and find that her wounds were deemed superficial and she would be arrested for murder in less than 2 weeks.

 

Part 2: After her sons were brutally murdered, Darlie Routier was brought to the hospital with what looked like a very serious slash to her throat and was taken immediately into surgery. But her wounds were superficial. She was in the hospital less than 2 days. She and Darin buried their sons and to many people, acted very strangely. And they did it in front of the press they had invited to their sons graves.

Darlie would be arrested four days later.

 

Part 3: This is the end of the Darlie Routier case. Iā€™m taking you through the evidence, trial, pro-innocence sources and of course, my own theory of the crime.
