I lost my 21 year old son a little over 2 years ago and it’s the party at the grave site that I’ll never be able to understand. The enormity of the loss of my child never leaves, I never get a moment “off” in my grief where I could look or feel so carefree and just…unbothered…
You really should watch the hole video before u judge her there was hours of her crying and praying and the aunt and little cousins were the ones that brought the silly string because it was there little best friends favorite thing. The cops followed her for a year and this was the only thing they could use against her and it was a snippet of what transpired that day. Noone ever talks about the Husband he had a motive he was having an affair they never showed a motive for her. Woman that kill there kids always end up having a motive weather it is an affair, drugs crazy religion belief they never found anything in her background. Woman that kill there kids kill them all she would have had the opportunity to kill all of them I am sure at some point she would have been left alone with them while her husband was in a different part of the house.
I am deeply sorry for your loss. Everyone Handel's loss in different ways I am sure if you were followed for over a year there would have been some point that you would have said or done something that would look inappropriate to others!
I am learning a new existence after having unexpectedly lost my 20 year old son recently. It helps to hear people like Greg share these things. I am very thankful. And I have to say, none of this woman's behaviour makes sense to me. I'd be a puddle on the floor.
Knocked me unconscious! No head wounds; no concussion. Yet within minutes she is being woken up by her fatally wounded child! She keeps talking about one man, even in the times she says she cannot remember, yes the 911 call is ALL, ‘they, they, they’… Greg Hartley came across so well on this, particularly about the child-like nah, nah, nah speech style.
I think she has used that childlike wide-eyed innocence to cover for stories her whole life, and is probably shocked it didn't work this time. Right on, Greg!!!
Definitely. I saw a video of her being interviewed in jail from about 2010, and she's dropped the Bambi expression and now sounds like someone who'd be able to dress herself without assistance. The airhead persona must not have been working for her in prison.
For all you people thinking she’s innocent. Can someone tell me why a burglar would break into the house, take a knife from the family’s knife holder, cut the screen with it, then put it back in the knife holder? Sheesh.
@@stevis8264 EXACTLY, Stevis82! Every time the police find the crime scene has been cleaned, they know it's an inside job. No stranger is going to stick around to clean anything after they commit their crime.
Greg my sincerest condolences to you and your family. I lost a child as well. The silly string incident happened about a year after I lost my son and this convinced me Darlie was guilty. It was a shocking display.
In the first clip she slips and says "un-conscience," instead of unconscious. Maybe just lack of education, but, to me, it has meaning: she lacks a conscience.
I have to add one more point. The video shown is 2 minutes out of a 2 hour video. Darle is a wreak in most of the rest of the video footage, but that was not shown here and was not shown to her jury in her trail. Of note, one juror who viewed the entire video later on stated he would not have voted to convict if he had seen the entire video.
It wasn't one video of which a small part was played. It was two separate videos. The defense choose not to show the other video--that is their prerogative.
@@kevinmichael8619 yeah, I was stunned to see there were so many of her blind supporters. The evidences against her are overwhelming , the one thing that is hard to explain is why the sock was outside her house. The answer is simple, her husband helped her out by throwing it when he ran out to find his nurse neighbour to help
Some questions for people who think she's innocent: Why does her shirt have cuts that don't correspond to any wounds? Why is there no trace of blood in the garage? If you say it's because the intruder didn't have any blood on him, how do you explain all the blood in the utility room? If Darlie truly put wet towels on the boys' backs, why were there no towels anywhere near the boys: why were the only bloody towels found in the hallway near the kitchen? Why wasn't a single drop of either boys' blood found on any of the towels? When Darlie gave police a detailed inventory of her injuries, two day days before they were photographed, why did Darlie never mention the bruising on her arms? Why did Darlie's mom wait 5 years before mentioning the "insurance scam' to anyone? If Darin has arranged to have his car stolen, why can no-one produce a police report of the theft? He couldn't have claimed any insurance payment without one. If the police had such tunnel vision, why did they spend several days combing the house for evidence, or waste hundreds of man-hours following up leads about the "black car"? If the police were looking to frame Darlie, why did they DNA test the blond hair found in the window screen? Why did Darlie spend years delaying the bloody fingerprint being run through the database? I'd appreciate any and all answers.
If you put her conversation next to Diane downes who killed two of her three children you will see the stories are practically heard for word it's freaky scary
The mother talking about how that bread knife wouldn’t have cut through a screen was pure stupidity. Firstly, that knife although round tipped, still came to a sharp point and second, so what, I guess one can only use a screen knife? (Sarcasm btw.) I believe she committed those heinous acts and it wasn’t the silly string tape that “sealed her fate.” The jury took 10 hours to deliberate and it doesn’t take that long to watch that video six times (as they did.) Also, they rewatched that as many times as they did to probably try and find some semblance of indication of a true grief stricken mother. There was no rush to judgment over that tape, they convicted her because of all the evidence against her and maybe even desperately wanted to see some authentic emotion from her in that tape to see if there’s anything in there, but she’s just hollow. I believe her as much as I believe Diane downs.
Totally agree. I believe she is guilty because of the physical evidence. I wish they had not shown the silly string video until sentencing because it has created such controversy and some of her supporters claim it was the reason she was found guilty.
They didn't watch the whole tape. They only had access to what was entered into evidence and for some reason, the defense did not even try to get the entire tape entered. They just agreed to what the prosecution entered. So no, that jury most definitely did not see that whole video. I think darlie is guilty, but I absolutely think reasonable doubt is strong in this case. But then again, most cases in the 80s and early 90s and earlier, if tried today with 80s and 90s evidence, would not raise to reasonable doubt. Bc of technology. Personally, the biggest thing that is reasonable doubt in this instance is the fact that there was someone trying to break into homes where women were alone that same night in that same neighborhood. Darlie was downstairs. Anyone looking in would see her alone. No husband and children sleeping on the floor making it less likely to be seen. That's a huge pile of doubt to get over.
@@lesterine77 the woman who testified that someone tried to break into her house did not call the cops until later, had a history of making false but sincere police reports, and described two men: neither of which remotely matched Darlie's description.
@@lesterine77 and no, Darlie was not visible unless someone managed to a) get into her garden (none evidence) and b) had x-ray vision and could see through both the drapes and the couch.
I would love to see you guys do one of Robert Wagner, Christopher Walken, and the boat captain on the Natalie Wood death. So many unanswered questions on that one. It’s officially reopened!
@@66fiveandahalf yes lots of video to analyze before Wagner stopped cooperating and the boat captain “squealed on Wagner” about important details. I think it was one of those things where the captain felt like the police was starting to get close and he went you know “first to squeal gets the best deal”. However they didn’t because of who Wagner and Walken knew. I’m wanting to know if Wagner is lying and if the boat captain is telling the truth.
I'm so sorry for your loss Greg. The irony that you analyze those who throw away life is not lost on me and I appreciate you all the more for the work you do to help bring them to justice.
“We’re dealing with a psychopathic-idiot in this case. This girl isn’t smart; I don’t care what anybody says, she’s an idiot!” Best comment of the video. 👏🏻👏🏻
I completely agree. I almost fell off my chair laughing. It was almost as funny as when Routier was confronted on the stand with letters that she wrote in jail, claiming to know who the killer was, while claiming traumatic amnesia as her defense. Psychopathic idiot is exactly what she is! LOL
I think she sounds like a complete moron too! I would like to see a law passed that allows investigators inject sodium Pentothal into these psychotic people. A Polygraph isn’t admissible, but a lot of these criminals take them. If you claim your innocence then agree to take this injection!
I've been subbed to this channel for a few months and really love the content. I don't comment unless I have something substantive to add to the conversation, but these four gents have made me realize what bad liars most people are, myself included. *I also wanted to thank Greg and Chase for their service to this country, and ALL FOUR of them for their service to humanity.*
She said she comforted her son and told him to "hold on," and he said to her "okay, mommy." How can that be when according to autopsy reports and first responders, the children were stabbed in the chest, lungs and back and would be unable to speak?
There are many people and groups who are actively defending her. She didn’t get a fair trial. Look it up...Try to find the truth of the lame circumstantial evidence. Don’t be a conclusion-jumper!
@@gigi9301 Oh yes, she did have a fair trial. Most of the people who support her are delusional and wouldn't know a fact about this case if it bit them in the butt..
@@sharonkv777 I'm all the way over in Scotland and watched a couple of documentaries and I was left with an uneasy feeling about this , hope they are able to get the DNA from the fingerprint found on the table maybe it will give some clarity. We thankfully don't have Death Penalty here as that element of miscarriages happen throughout the world , I personally could not live with myself to condemn someone to death if their is even a smidgen of a chance they got it wrong, too heavy a burden for my wee Scottish shoulders ✌✌
She never talks about wanting to know who killed her sons. She never talks about wanting justice for the kids. That’s what I see with her. I believe she did it.
She saves all her anger and vitriol for the detectives who investigated her and the Asst DA who put on her death row. No anger for the invisible intruder who murdered her boys though. A huge red flag when you blame LE for your conviction.
Correct, you or your husband go vigilantly justice on everyone. You go full Rambo and hunt for the killer. I’m always amazed at the people who sit on their ass and wait for law enforcement to catch the killer. Unfathomable to me.
@@Piksuful I feel the same way! Even if those boys loved silly string, that would not excuse her facial expressions & overall demeanor!! Just look at the expressions of the others, standing around! Sure explains those looks of WTF is WRONG with her!?…….And since then, to watch her mother defend her, makes me nauseous! It also causes me to question, ARE MOM & DAUGHTER disgustingly similar? As the mother of two grown children, if my child was involved in such grievous acts, AND his / her guilt had been proven with FACTS, I’d RUN from cameras like a scalded dawg! Every spare moment would find me on my Knees…..in prayer!
I remember this when it happened. Standing at the grave, 8 days later with silly string, smiling, singing and chopping on gum.... so disturbing to watch. I wouldn’t be able to complete a sentence or tie my shoes at that point.
I remember it too and although Europeans seem to celebrate the life of a pssed family member much more differently than we do in the states and much more so in the Soutn, her happy ass ....omg, c,a,b!!! How is it you just know when the cops have the right person. Just that gut instinct. Spooky!
But that is YOU. Different people do different things in grief. I can understand her giving her son a last birthday party if she is innocent. But she is as guilty as can be as the real evidence proves, not the lines in her face.
Still looking for Robert Wagner. I guess I am telling my age, does anyone remember Natalie Woods death, unexplained to this day. 3 of the most vintage actors of our day, someone has to know something. How good of an actor are the 2 men thought to have been in a love triangle??? Paaallleeaazzzeee!
Yass! I think the saddest part about Natalies death is that she was actually terrified of drowning and hated being on the water. It's like a horrific foreshadowing her whole life but in the end so much worse than probably her own worst nightmares. She definitely needs justice because something happened on that damn boat and it was definitely not a accident.
@@_epic_dyslexic_ I'd never heard that about her. Or maybe I had and had forgotten about it. It was in 1981 I was in my freshman year of college. I just remember what a beauty she was and how suited doe one another they were, but also was in dismay when Jill St. John's came into his life so soon after Natalie's death and all of the talk of the love triangle. Anyway will never forget her in Spender in the grass. Probably the first time I ever cried as a child watching a movie, besides Bambie of course. Lol!! Thanks for the comment.
@@ashleyhumbyrd7274 yes he has and it has been brought up over the year several times. I believe even as late a 2-3 years ago Christopher Walkins was interview too, although he seems to have breezed thru and the focus was on Robert Wagner.
47:26 I love this example. My sister (a narcissist) was caught stealing at a department store during her teens (hundreds of dollars of clothes). Fast forward to her 20s she was applying for a job at a department store and during the group interview they asked everyone what they would do if they saw a colleague stealing. My sister’s response was she doesn’t snitch. You’re right, people take care of their kind, whatever kind that may be. And no, she didn’t get the job.
There might be a time when a Snitch will do you wrong. I prefer to be around people who will stand their ground and do the right thing, the Police are working for the State, they love Snitche's even if they put the Snitche's life in danger. It's a character failing to be a snitch!
One of the most telling actions in this case was the test the police did which showed “the killer” cleaned all the blood off the kitchen counter. There was a large cleaned area. I would want to ask her why a killer would care to clean her kitchen.
She also cleaned the sink of all the blood and the kitchen floor as well, but oops, she missed her blood on the cabinet door under the sink as well as her blood inside that same cabinet. BUT Luminol found it all.
The only reason I can think of is if a killer thought he/she had spilled some of their own blood in the areas they cleaned. That's a possibility, however I also think she's guilty.
There was BLOOD of both of her CHILDREN on the BACK of her T-shirt. That did it for me!! 💯 Forensics said that came from her stabbing the boys 😢 When her arm would go up, drops of blood fell on the back of her shirt 😳 RiP little ones 😇😇
I completely agree that when’s she’s talking about comforting her dying son, she keeps making eye contact through her tears with the interviewer. You just don’t do that.
@@ellenhawkins128 yep, I think she admitted she has NO CONSCIENCE! We all have a conscience, at BIRTH, but too often we NUMB it ) Linked directly to our Gut intuition, conscience is SILENCED, every time we break one of “The Ten Commandments” ,- whether it’s GREED, DRUGS, ENVY, ADDICTION, or IDOLATRY ( which creates a God-like view of SELF!) EVERY OVERINDULGENCE is COSTLY, even too much White, granulated SUGAR silences GUT Intuition! ….Unfortunately, for this woman’s children, this pathetic excuse for a mother, dulled her conscience much sooner than most….( Let her life-lesson teach us All, to DO better! ) G00D Humans possess NO GOODNESS, without CONSCIENCE.,AND, an accurate sense of self! Conscience is the voice which speaks to us, WHEN NO ONE ELSE IS L 👀KING
I don't understand how the son that was still alive - despite the fact that he must have been in terrible pain & gurgling with blood he could even talk, let alone say "i love you mummy' is not possible (a nurse's perspective}
The story about him waking her and walking and talking was not her first story, either. Damon was barely able to even drag himself a few feet from where he was originally attacked, and as for talking,...his lungs were punctured, so no.
The one thing I will never understand is that in all the interviews of her and her family I have never herd one word about catching the real killer. That says alot.
Right!?!?!?! I wouldn't agree for a single interview unless I was given the opportunity to ask the public for help finding the person that killed my 2 children...
@@jill4334 I do not include her 911 call. Is there a recorded interview of her saying anyting about catching the killers if so please post a link. I have watched many interviews with her and her family NEVER have I herd one word about catching the REAL KILLER. If you dont have a link to a rercorded interview there must be some kind of a transcript of an interview.
I don't know. I have been in very painful circumstances and I don't cry easily. But when you lose your children or anyone important to you, in this manner, I think the tears of devastation would be there. However, some people are more angry and upset that they weren't there to, or didn't save their loved ones and then they beat themselves up inside and the sweated tears are more on the edge of coming out; the expression of hurt and devastation is there but less teary, particularly for men. But con artists, especially male ones, cry in the most overwhelming and compelling manner. Red faced, blubbering or bawling, crying for themselves. However, the same gut crying can be for the right reasons as for the wrong ones. In family court they often treat women's tears as lies, but men's tears as genuine, but either way, they often get it wrong. Sweated tears can also be fake and more about the effort of trying to lie. You have to look at the whole picture.
@@jillybean3688 Wouldn't it be horrible if she didn't do it? There's a very small doubt in my mind but I just couldn't swallow the story and she appears to be very narcissistic.
I lived in Dallas, Texas at the time this all went down and I saw that party scene over and over and every time it made me want to puke! I am a mother of 4 children and being able to spray silly string and smack gum while laughing it up at my children’s fresh graveside was absolutely repulsive to me. I have lost one of my children since this case went down to a tragic motorcycle accident and wow, it’s been almost 2 years now and I can’t really laugh or even get my sons name out of my mouth without shaking and feeling emotions welling up inside me. I have to stop myself and switch to another topic before I break down…it is just too damn painful! My son died of a foolish and careless mistake, her children were murdered in cold blood around her and yet she isn’t even traumatized enough to shed a tear at their grave?! This woman is sick and evil! She doesn’t need help, she deserves the death sentence she received! The only question in any of the minds of the locals around her had over this case was whether the husband has his own role in the murders or not. They never could pull enough evidence together to convict him as an accessory in all this, but it was very hard for most of us to believe that he knew and heard none of the events going on downstairs. His “innocence” in all this still is questionable. During the burying of his children and the trial he was far more interested in “saving Darlie” than what really happened to his own children! Supposedly, he vowed to spend ever last penny he ever made trying to get Darlie’s case over turned and her freedom. I guess that hasn’t really worked out for her now has it? There is a special place in hell for Darlie and they need to hurry up and send her there.
I don't have any reason to believe Darin was involved in the murders. I do agree he lied in support of her many times, which is unexplainable. He has remarried and rebuilt his life.
I do not want to come across anti-women or misogynistic... but like most of the ladies, in my life at least, put on a little baby voice when they want something. Usually something like (in a baby voice), "You know how you love me? Well I'm really thirsty and...", "Would you like a drink?", "Oo yes please. What a lovely idea."
At about 1:01:20 she says “I can guarantee that this is the last thing a guilty person would do!” How can she personally guarantee what a guilty person would do unless she was one. Sounds like she just admitted to being guilty to me.
I wouldn’t be able to get out of bed 8 days after losing 1 child. I’d be hospitalized in a psychiatric facility if I lost 2 especially in such a horrific way.
😂😂😂she's such a liar. I always laugh at her trying the annoying high pitched, childlike voice, thinking THAT makes her so believable!! 😂😂😂 I knew for sure, when detectives said Darlie's blood was cleaned up and wiped to try and clean, but obviously she sucks at housework, so it's not surprising that she was too lazy. Lol
@@chantel7827 Respectfully… it’s the same voice with literally EVERY interview, speaking moment since this came out. THAT IS HER VOICE! But…. You’re right! She’s annoying..lol and guilty as hell! 😂 she deserves right where she’s at!!
Thank you for doing this analysis. I lived in the area when this happened and my husband worked with one of her neighbors. There is so much evidence that the national news organizations like to leave out when they cover this case. They just want it to look like it was just stupid small town investigators who went after this poor woman just because she grieved in a weird way. As they always say, how do any of us know how we would react in that circumstance? I think most people have enough empathy to know how humans react to certain situations. A few years ago I listened to an interview with the investigators on this case. They were deeply disturbed by these murders and continued to investigate even after her conviction. When her husband sold the house and moved out, they got a search warrant and went through the house. They found boxes of the boys photos and toys left behind in the attic. It just makes you wonder what is wrong with that whole family.
I found it odd Darren failed a lie detector test and they lit it slide. I found it really convenient he was upstairs didn’t hear a peep…. Who leaves pictures of their sons. He always divorced darlie later as well.
@@davidtassy9901 Darlie took a private lie detector test before trial and her results have never been released to the public. How do you feel about that?
@@2hereagain Darlie and Darin were probably as guilty as each other, but she was definitely guilty. There is plenty of evidence that wasn't sensationalised, but the difference is, the cover up had enough evidence to show that Darlie definitely had something to do with it, and Darin wasnt bleeding so he was harder to prove. The problem is everyone comes to this conclusion that if Darin is guilty that means Darlie is innocent, and she is not. If she proves Darin had something to do with it then she has to admit that she did too, and I have had enough experience with neighbours to know that they don't know as much as they say they do when something like this happens. They loved Darlie because she was good to them but it was only ever superficial, she loved the status. The only differences between Darlie and Diane Downs is that Darlie is likeable, and isnt a narcissist, so her intellect just about matches her perception of her own intelligence, and she isnt stupid. I will say though I'm glad she has stopped that fake baby voice in recent years, it makes me gag.
In my life I have known two women close to me who lost a child: one from suicide,the other one from car accident. Both of them literally aged 20 years in one night because of grief. Their eyes are still so full of sadness and pain. They both look like ghosts. I don't see it here. I just don't. Grief is universal,a mother's love is universal. I don't know...I believe she's guilty.
Yes good point. My 2nd cousin lost her 18yr old son to accidental drowning 3yrs ago. Even though she has 4 children still, she has not gotten over it. She has constant dark bags under her eyes from crying.... goes to work but is a shell of her former self...& surprises herself that her marriage is still intact. Mourning & grief for a lost child can take a lifetime. Not once has my cousin got balloons & shot silly string @ his grave while laughing her head off.
EXACTLY! My mother, and two of my sister lost children, and each of the changed in ways that can't be quantified. I was 5 years old when my 18 year old brother was killed. My mother was a HUSK of a human being for 15 years before I started seeing some of her again. It aged her, it changed her forever, and I was mothered (if you can call it that) by a woman who was angry that she was alive, and who hated and resented the inconvenience of having a small child to look after. That's grief. My mother is the strongest woman I've ever known, and it nearly destroyed her.
@@cookie_dough_hangover ... it was, but it wasn't until my first child was born that I began to understand my mother's utter anguish. As I held my beautiful new born baby boy and smelled his sweet little head, and caressed his tiny hands, I finally understood my mother and it helped me heal. Thank you for your compassion. I am a pragmatic, unemotional person, and even I can't imagine the pain of losing a child - much less two. Unless Routiere was just straight up psychologically broken, as in experiencing a break in reality, I would not just off-handedly chalk her behavior up to "well, everyone grieves differently. " What this woman displays in her behavior is not normative.
I agree Scott....to have a birthday party after your child has been murdered, dancing, laughing at their grave....unconscionable. Every year, even 50 yrs later, until I died, I would be in pain. Time never heals something like this....it just stitches a patch over your heart and soul, that rips open every now and then.
The media did not show the whole tape as wise41 said… it actually shows her & her family crying… I really do not see anything wrong with her actions here… she was celebrating their life, this was what they would have wanted happen at their birthday if they were alive…. Sadly people twist truths to fit what they want to make someone look bad…
@@steviesgirlbrenwag I am not asking for an argument here in any way ~ but have you ever had to bury A child as I have? I can tell you that I, and every member of my family, friends, and support group, find this behavior extremely questionable. There is no way you could exhibit that level of happiness when true grief seizes you. No way!
Like they always say on the panel, in 9/11 calls, if the person is telling any type of story instead of describing the condition of the injured person and asking how to help, they are mostly always the perpetrator. Watch the staircase one there’s a very good example of this. Happy learning, fellow panelist!
I can't believe some in the comments doubt her guilt. Her behavior and demeanor in no way matches up with someone who was innocent of this. Where's the rage and demand to find the killer? We recently had a mom who hunted down and killed all of her daughter's killers. They ended up killing this Mom because of it. No rage burns hotter than a parent whose child was maliciously murdered and Darlie had 2 little boys that suffered this yet she doesn't have any passion about it? You can clearly see she's putting on a show and loves the attention. Do you really think a stranger came in and viciously stabbed her boys to death but left everyone else alive? Doesn't make sense.
Too bad they didn't play the interview right after the murder where Darlie and her husband were outside speaking to the reporters and Darlie has a huge smile on her face, then remembers she is not supposed to be happy and quickly changes her expression.
No one smiles in jail talking about the Very Brutal Murder of there children! Why isn't she saying, " Can you imagine seeing your children brutally stabbed and murdered"! Instead it's all about me and what I went through! She is exactly where she belongs!
@@Ryotbh what's deeply worrying is that you think that just because she flutters her eyelids that we're all Hoodwinked by that . I based my decision on her innocence because of lots of documentaries and reports on this case not her batting her eyelashes. We are not that naive and stupid!

@@jillybean3688 How about basing her guilt or innocence on the evidence and not half baked biased documentaries which are concerned more with ratings than with the truth. Routier is guilty.
Greg, my condolences for the loss of your child. And yes, having lost my sister at age 30, to homicide, holidays especially at first are about survival, not celebration.
Mr. Hartley, I am so sorry to hear that you and your family have lost a child. I can't imagine how difficult a loss it would be, blessings to you for being able to help others I do believe your work here will aid others in thier lives. I know it helps me when I am able to understand why I am seeing red flags rather than in the past only being able to feel something is off now I have a reason other than just feeling.
In the trial transcript, she said her little boy woke her up after being stabbed then changed it; she was awakened by the attacker. She lied all through that transcript.
Imagine being in the middle of all of what happened just being woken to see a blood bath. I’m certain it would play over and over and over in your head and play out slightly differently or you’d think did that happen or what if. I’m almost sure it would be really hard to completely piece something like this together in your head so I think that’s it’s almost impossible to use that to decide she’s guilty. I’ve done quite abit of research into this case and I’m still 50/50 the prosecution make a lot of good points but then the defence also make a lot of good points too and they all seem to contradict each other over and over
@@conspiracytheory8101 I agree! And I found one statement “ODD” A.F.! When speaking of the silly string incident, WHY did she say, “ A guilty person wouldn’t do that!” …H0W would she KNOW what a guilty person would or wouldn’t do? Wait just a ding dang minute!! I thought Ms. Routier was attempting to sell her own b.s. about being NOT guilty! Right?!
PLEASE do Diane Downs! Her parole hearing, and an in prison interview were something to see. This one was good... Datlie is a horrible actress.. Even I could see her deceptive behavior.
To this day she makes me sick. I am the arresting officer, in the pink shirt walking her into Dallas County Jail, and I worked the crime scene. It was horrific. Not a doubt she did it.
Sarah, I am in awe of you and your fellow officers. I can see by the reaction of your fellow officer that ALL of you were heavily impacted by this case (I'm sorry I can't remember his name, but he is in this video). And I think a telltale sign, Is that you officers show more emotion than the children's own mother. I saw her prison interview from 2020 (I think) And listening to this woman and talk about nurturing her "garden" being her greatest joy made me ill. No one is buying what she has been selling for 25 years. Her bullsh*t stinks to high heaven. She gave birth by way of biological byproduct. That does not make her a mother. Or a victim. She is (and will always be) the scariest kind of monster. One disguised as a parent.

That's right and she focuses completely on the situation as a crime, not a medical emergency. Also, whenever the 9 1 1 operator asks her about the intruder she avoids giving any information. She's as vague about the intruder as she can be.
@@TheCrandons I agree. As a children’s nurse I saw many families who lost children dealing with grief in very different ways. The truth is you don’t get judges on that response I less some doubt exists about how the child died. The case of Lindy Chamberlain absolutely embodies this: she was tried and found guilty on the court of public opinion and the police slaughtered her reputation- she was innocent but spent many years behind bars.
@@Truth1561 I agree. Every parent would celebrate their children's lives in different ways. Darlie I don't think is innocent but I don't think she did it to herself. I think her husband has a huge part to play. Darlie grieved her own way.
@@TheCrandons I pray you never go thru it but I am a member of many groups where parents lost kids, not one parent was laughing and shooting silly string 7 days after the lost their child, most like me were so exhausted with grief they couldn’t hardly get up and go. Yes people grieve different but unless you’ve lost a child you have no idea what the pain is truly like and you definitely don’t feel like laughing, period! All you want to do is cry
I lost my 21 year old son a little over 2 years ago and it’s the party at the grave site that I’ll never be able to understand. The enormity of the loss of my child never leaves, I never get a moment “off” in my grief where I could look or feel so carefree and just…unbothered…
I am so, so sorry for your loss. I know the loss will never go away, but I truly hope that at some point you can find some peace.
@@dqverify6797…thank you, that was very kind of you, very much appreciated too. ❤️🩹

You really should watch the hole video before u judge her there was hours of her crying and praying and the aunt and little cousins were the ones that brought the silly string because it was there little best friends favorite thing. The cops followed her for a year and this was the only thing they could use against her and it was a snippet of what transpired that day. Noone ever talks about the Husband he had a motive he was having an affair they never showed a motive for her. Woman that kill there kids always end up having a motive weather it is an affair, drugs crazy religion belief they never found anything in her background. Woman that kill there kids kill them all she would have had the opportunity to kill all of them I am sure at some point she would have been left alone with them while her husband was in a different part of the house.
I am deeply sorry for your loss. Everyone Handel's loss in different ways I am sure if you were followed for over a year there would have been some point that you would have said or done something that would look inappropriate to others!

Agreed. I can’t imagine how horrible. I’m so sorry to Greg & Mrs. Greg.
I am learning a new existence after having unexpectedly lost my 20 year old son recently. It helps to hear people like Greg share these things. I am very thankful. And I have to say, none of this woman's behaviour makes sense to me. I'd be a puddle on the floor.

@@michellelavi575 I'm very sorry too Michelle. 🙏🏼
to me she is trying to act innocent but failing big time...out of all the close ups there was never a tear no matter how much she screwed up her face
Knocked me unconscious! No head wounds; no concussion. Yet within minutes she is being woken up by her fatally wounded child!
She keeps talking about one man, even in the times she says she cannot remember, yes the 911 call is ALL, ‘they, they, they’…
Greg Hartley came across so well on this, particularly about the child-like nah, nah, nah speech style.
I think she has used that childlike wide-eyed innocence to cover for stories her whole life, and is probably shocked it didn't work this time. Right on, Greg!!!
Definitely. I saw a video of her being interviewed in jail from about 2010, and she's dropped the Bambi expression and now sounds like someone who'd be able to dress herself without assistance. The airhead persona must not have been working for her in prison.
@@SchlichteToven I tried to watch her interviews and usually can’t stomach her lies
-For sure. There's some flashes of anger too. Imagine seeing her anger fully expressed :(
I have never heard her say we gotta find the killer except in the 911 call ?
For all you people thinking she’s innocent. Can someone tell me why a burglar would break into the house, take a knife from the family’s knife holder, cut the screen with it, then put it back in the knife holder? Sheesh.
I noticed there's not ONE reply to your question. 🤔 I guess it's denial or their heads buried in the sand. 🤦
And take time to wash the knife in the sink. Her defense is ludicrous.
@@stevis8264 EXACTLY, Stevis82! Every time the police find the crime scene has been cleaned, they know it's an inside job. No stranger is going to stick around to clean anything after they commit their crime.
Look up the you tube Dr Todd Grande video covering this situation. I believe she is innocent.
@@gigi9301 Even Dr Grande said he thinks she's guilty in his video.
Greg my sincerest condolences to you and your family. I lost a child as well. The silly string incident happened about a year after I lost my son and this convinced me Darlie was guilty. It was a shocking display.
I am so very sorry for your loss, and for Greg's.
She 'cries' without tears
I see the fan club is here loud and strong in the comments.
Sickening isn't it?
@@ReneeWright69 very sick.
In the first clip she slips and says "un-conscience," instead of unconscious. Maybe just lack of education, but, to me, it has meaning: she lacks a conscience.
I caught that too!!
The funniest when Greg says : Darlie , what’s normal to you.? You guys make me laugh!!!
I am furious that Scott didn't show us his dog after it hopped up on the couch. I refuse to keep watching until we get an introduction.
😁💀
Come on! Everyone 'like' this comment and put the pressure on Scott! I think Chase has a dog, too...no?
@@cijmo He does. I too was annoyed we didn't get to meet the doggies!
Her son was struggling to breathe I don't understand how he answered her OK mommy ?
He didn't.
She's a freaking liar.
I find it odd that the husband wasn’t questioned more.
I have to add one more point. The video shown is 2 minutes out of a 2 hour video. Darle is a wreak in most of the rest of the video footage, but that was not shown here and was not shown to her jury in her trail. Of note, one juror who viewed the entire video later on stated he would not have voted to convict if he had seen the entire video.
It wasn't one video of which a small part was played. It was two separate videos. The defense choose not to show the other video--that is their prerogative.
Excellent point. She was largest convicted on that silly string video
@@christinemoore6911 she was convicted based on a stack of evidence that supporters simply refuse to acknowledge.
@@kevinmichael8619 yeah, I was stunned to see there were so many of her blind supporters. The evidences against her are overwhelming , the one thing that is hard to explain is why the sock was outside her house. The answer is simple, her husband helped her out by throwing it when he ran out to find his nurse neighbour to help
Some questions for people who think she's innocent:
Why does her shirt have cuts that don't correspond to any wounds?
Why is there no trace of blood in the garage? If you say it's because the intruder didn't have any blood on him, how do you explain all the blood in the utility room?
If Darlie truly put wet towels on the boys' backs, why were there no towels anywhere near the boys: why were the only bloody towels found in the hallway near the kitchen? Why wasn't a single drop of either boys' blood found on any of the towels?
When Darlie gave police a detailed inventory of her injuries, two day days before they were photographed, why did Darlie never mention the bruising on her arms?
Why did Darlie's mom wait 5 years before mentioning the "insurance scam' to anyone?
If Darin has arranged to have his car stolen, why can no-one produce a police report of the theft? He couldn't have claimed any insurance payment without one.
If the police had such tunnel vision, why did they spend several days combing the house for evidence, or waste hundreds of man-hours following up leads about the "black car"?
If the police were looking to frame Darlie, why did they DNA test the blond hair found in the window screen?
Why did Darlie spend years delaying the bloody fingerprint being run through the database?
I'd appreciate any and all answers.
If you put her conversation next to Diane downes who killed two of her three children you will see the stories are practically heard for word it's freaky scary
The mother talking about how that bread knife wouldn’t have cut through a screen was pure stupidity. Firstly, that knife although round tipped, still came to a sharp point and second, so what, I guess one can only use a screen knife? (Sarcasm btw.)
I believe she committed those heinous acts and it wasn’t the silly string tape that “sealed her fate.” The jury took 10 hours to deliberate and it doesn’t take that long to watch that video six times (as they did.) Also, they rewatched that as many times as they did to probably try and find some semblance of indication of a true grief stricken mother. There was no rush to judgment over that tape, they convicted her because of all the evidence against her and maybe even desperately wanted to see some authentic emotion from her in that tape to see if there’s anything in there, but she’s just hollow. I believe her as much as I believe Diane downs.
Totally agree. I believe she is guilty because of the physical evidence. I wish they had not shown the silly string video until sentencing because it has created such controversy and some of her supporters claim it was the reason she was found guilty.
According to a juror, they watched the tape three times: once during the guilt phase, and twice during the penalty phase
They didn't watch the whole tape. They only had access to what was entered into evidence and for some reason, the defense did not even try to get the entire tape entered. They just agreed to what the prosecution entered. So no, that jury most definitely did not see that whole video. I think darlie is guilty, but I absolutely think reasonable doubt is strong in this case. But then again, most cases in the 80s and early 90s and earlier, if tried today with 80s and 90s evidence, would not raise to reasonable doubt. Bc of technology. Personally, the biggest thing that is reasonable doubt in this instance is the fact that there was someone trying to break into homes where women were alone that same night in that same neighborhood. Darlie was downstairs. Anyone looking in would see her alone. No husband and children sleeping on the floor making it less likely to be seen. That's a huge pile of doubt to get over.
@@lesterine77 the woman who testified that someone tried to break into her house did not call the cops until later, had a history of making false but sincere police reports, and described two men: neither of which remotely matched Darlie's description.
@@lesterine77 and no, Darlie was not visible unless someone managed to a) get into her garden (none evidence) and b) had x-ray vision and could see through both the drapes and the couch.
I would love to see you guys do one of Robert Wagner, Christopher Walken, and the boat captain on the Natalie Wood death. So many unanswered questions on that one. It’s officially reopened!
YES!! That one stinks to high heaven, great choice
@@66fiveandahalf yes lots of video to analyze before Wagner stopped cooperating and the boat captain “squealed on Wagner” about important details. I think it was one of those things where the captain felt like the police was starting to get close and he went you know “first to squeal gets the best deal”. However they didn’t because of who Wagner and Walken knew. I’m wanting to know if Wagner is lying and if the boat captain is telling the truth.
Thats a great suggestion
Robert Wagner is guilty as sin!

“We’re dealing with a psychopathic-idiot in this case. This girl isn’t smart; I don’t care what anybody says, she’s an idiot!”
Best comment of the video. 👏🏻👏🏻
That's exactly what I thought. She so transparent to me.. she is disgusting
I completely agree. I almost fell off my chair laughing. It was almost as funny as when Routier was confronted on the stand with letters that she wrote in jail, claiming to know who the killer was, while claiming traumatic amnesia as her defense. Psychopathic idiot is exactly what she is! LOL
I think she sounds like a complete moron too! I would like to see a law passed that allows investigators inject sodium Pentothal into these psychotic people. A Polygraph isn’t admissible, but a lot of these criminals take them. If you claim your innocence then agree to take this injection!

"He slit my throat, or whatever...." Saaaay whaaaaat?!

Darlie reminds me a lot of Dianne Downs. They both have the same giggly child like behavior along with smiling inappropriately 😔
Yup!
I met her months before the incident...that w pi man was 100% crazy
Yep and they are both guilty.
exactly! neither of them know what is appropriate behavior.
@Lorri O F
Yessss!!
She said she comforted her son and told him to "hold on," and he said to her "okay, mommy." How can that be when according to autopsy reports and first responders, the children were stabbed in the chest, lungs and back and would be unable to speak?
the family is all about "free Darlie" but nothing about "caught the real killer", if they believe she is innocent.
Absolutely 💯 I think they want her out on a technicality 😬

You have GOT to do DARRIN Routier. He has many many many interviews that include much weirdness. I’d dearly love to see this
Part of the 38%! We should be able to subscribe more than once to make up for the dead beats lol
She never talks about wanting to know who killed her sons. She never talks about wanting justice for the kids. That’s what I see with her. I believe she did it.
You make a great point. So true
That entire rotten family doesn't care
Sadly, I think you’re correct. It’s unfathomable.
She saves all her anger and vitriol for the detectives who investigated her and the Asst DA who put on her death row. No anger for the invisible intruder who murdered her boys though. A huge red flag when you blame LE for your conviction.
Of course she does. They just don't show you that because they want her to be guilty.
When your loved ones die, you don't dance and smile on their grave, espesially after 8 days of they being murdered. 🙄
Correct, you or your husband go vigilantly justice on everyone. You go full Rambo and hunt for the killer. I’m always amazed at the people who sit on their ass and wait for law enforcement to catch the killer. Unfathomable to me.
@@Piksuful I feel the same way! Even if those boys loved silly string, that would not excuse her facial expressions & overall demeanor!! Just look at the expressions of the others, standing around! Sure explains those looks of WTF is WRONG with her!?…….And since then, to watch her mother defend her, makes me nauseous!
It also causes me to question, ARE MOM & DAUGHTER disgustingly similar?
As the mother of two grown children, if my child was involved in such grievous acts, AND his / her guilt had been proven with FACTS, I’d RUN from cameras like a scalded dawg! Every spare moment would find me on my Knees…..in prayer!
I remember this when it happened. Standing at the grave, 8 days later with silly string, smiling, singing and chopping on gum.... so disturbing to watch. I wouldn’t be able to complete a sentence or tie my shoes at that point.
I remember it too and although Europeans seem to celebrate the life of a pssed family member much more differently than we do in the states and much more so in the Soutn, her happy ass ....omg, c,a,b!!! How is it you just know when the cops have the right person. Just that gut instinct. Spooky!
But that is YOU. Different people do different things in grief. I can understand her giving her son a last birthday party if she is innocent. But she is as guilty as can be as the real evidence proves, not the lines in her face.
@@anonamos9102 What Real Evidence??
@@gigi9301 the blood. And the bread knife makes it totally obvious to all but the slowest people that she is guilty. The bread knife 8s a smoking gun.
Still looking for Robert Wagner. I guess I am telling my age, does anyone remember Natalie Woods death, unexplained to this day. 3 of the most vintage actors of our day, someone has to know something. How good of an actor are the 2 men thought to have been in a love triangle??? Paaallleeaazzzeee!
Yass! I think the saddest part about Natalies death is that she was actually terrified of drowning and hated being on the water. It's like a horrific foreshadowing her whole life but in the end so much worse than probably her own worst nightmares. She definitely needs justice because something happened on that damn boat and it was definitely not a accident.
@@_epic_dyslexic_ I'd never heard that about her. Or maybe I had and had forgotten about it. It was in 1981 I was in my freshman year of college. I just remember what a beauty she was and how suited doe one another they were, but also was in dismay when Jill St. John's came into his life so soon after Natalie's death and all of the talk of the love triangle. Anyway will never forget her in Spender in the grass. Probably the first time I ever cried as a child watching a movie, besides Bambie of course. Lol!! Thanks for the comment.
Has Wagner done interviews about the night Natalie Wood died?
@@ashleyhumbyrd7274 yes he has and it has been brought up over the year several times. I believe even as late a 2-3 years ago

@@_epic_dyslexic_ so sorry, I am new on the site and I replied to someone else's comment, thinking I was responding to you. TY!
47:26 I love this example. My sister (a narcissist) was caught stealing at a department store during her teens (hundreds of dollars of clothes). Fast forward to her 20s she was applying for a job at a department store and during the group interview they asked everyone what they would do if they saw a colleague stealing. My sister’s response was she doesn’t snitch. You’re right, people take care of their kind, whatever kind that may be. And no, she didn’t get the job.
There might be a time when a Snitch will do you wrong. I prefer to be around people who will stand their ground and do the right thing, the Police are working for the State, they love Snitche's even if they put the Snitche's life in danger. It's a character failing to be a snitch!
Respect for being so honest.
She is always so relaxed talking about the most devastating thing that has ever happened to her! Why??? Because she did it!
Psychopathic narcissist!!
Can we just point out the obvious fabulousness of Mark's hair?
Such a luscious mane.
glorious!
One of the most telling actions in this case was the test the police did which showed “the killer” cleaned all the blood off the kitchen counter. There was a large cleaned area. I would want to ask her why a killer would care to clean her kitchen.
She also cleaned the sink of all the blood and the kitchen floor as well, but oops, she missed her blood on the cabinet door under the sink as well as her blood inside that same cabinet. BUT Luminol found it all.
I'd love for the people who think she's innocent to explain that. 🤔
The only reason I can think of is if a killer thought he/she had spilled some of their own blood in the areas they cleaned. That's a possibility, however I also think she's guilty.
AND the Window was broken from Inside to outside lol, i think maybe shes a bit thick...as well as being a raging psychopath...
@@amateursleuth1195 They never do, they just lie about it or wave it away like it doesn't matter.
First responders all testified she had no concern for her dead and dying children, but asked where her jewelry was
I think she stayed clear of the still breathing little boy because she was afraid he would show fear of her.
Darlie was busy walking around making the crime scene bloody and gruesome . She never thought DNA and crime scene investigators would see through her.

There was BLOOD of both of her CHILDREN on the BACK of her T-shirt. That did it for me!! 💯 Forensics said that came from her stabbing the boys 😢 When her arm would go up, drops of blood fell on the back of her shirt 😳 RiP little ones 😇😇
I completely agree that when’s she’s talking about comforting her dying son, she keeps making eye contact through her tears with the interviewer. You just don’t do that.
She said, “Knocked me unconscience”, not “unconscious”. How ironic.

I don't understand how the son that was still alive - despite the fact that he must have been in terrible pain & gurgling with blood he could even talk, let alone say "i love you mummy' is not possible (a nurse's perspective}
The story about him waking her and walking and talking was not her first story, either. Damon was barely able to even drag himself a few feet from where he was originally attacked, and as for talking,...his lungs were punctured, so no.
The one thing I will never understand is that in all the interviews of her and her family I have never herd one word about catching the real killer. That says alot.

@@crystalhawthorne8241she was on a med that caused brain fog in fact many women sued.she is innocent.
it's 2021 and people still don't know that if there ain't no tears, you ain't cying.
Good point.
I don't know. I have been in very painful circumstances and I don't cry easily. But when you lose your children or anyone important to you, in this manner, I think the tears of devastation would be there. However, some people are more angry and upset that they weren't there to, or didn't save their loved ones and then they beat themselves up inside and the sweated tears are more on the edge of coming out; the expression of hurt and devastation is there but less teary, particularly for men. But con artists, especially male ones, cry in the most overwhelming and compelling manner. Red faced, blubbering or bawling, crying for themselves. However, the same gut crying can be for the right reasons as for the wrong ones. In family court they often treat women's tears as lies, but men's tears as genuine, but either way, they often get it wrong. Sweated tears can also be fake and more about the effort of trying to lie. You have to look at the whole picture.
She's all cried out by now. Its been decades.
Thank you - Thats what I actively checked for... never any tears and constant eye contact; gotta check if they're buying it!
@@jillybean3688 Wouldn't it be horrible if she didn't do it? There's a very small doubt in my mind but I just couldn't swallow the story and she appears to be very narcissistic.
That woman's baby voice is extreme.
swannavon That is her voice!.
I'd have had her in eloquence lessons really quickly
Very unusal too.
Women with voices like that may be deceptively hard faced - just my experience.
Extremely annoying.
I lived in Dallas, Texas at the time this all went down and I saw that party scene over and over and every time it made me want to puke! I am a mother of 4 children and being able to spray silly string and smack gum while laughing it up at my children’s fresh graveside was absolutely repulsive to me. I have lost one of my children since this case went down to a tragic motorcycle accident and wow, it’s been almost 2 years now and I can’t really laugh or even get my sons name out of my mouth without shaking and feeling emotions welling up inside me. I have to stop myself and switch to another topic before I break down…it is just too damn painful! My son died of a foolish and careless mistake, her children were murdered in cold blood around her and yet she isn’t even traumatized enough to shed a tear at their grave?! This woman is sick and evil! She doesn’t need help, she deserves the death sentence she received! The only question in any of the minds of the locals around her had over this case was whether the husband has his own role in the murders or not. They never could pull enough evidence together to convict him as an accessory in all this, but it was very hard for most of us to believe that he knew and heard none of the events going on downstairs. His “innocence” in all this still is questionable. During the burying of his children and the trial he was far more interested in “saving Darlie” than what really happened to his own children! Supposedly, he vowed to spend ever last penny he ever made trying to get Darlie’s case over turned and her freedom. I guess that hasn’t really worked out for her now has it? There is a special place in hell for Darlie and they need to hurry up and send her there.
I don't have any reason to believe Darin was involved in the murders. I do agree he lied in support of her many times, which is unexplainable. He has remarried and rebuilt his life.
By the way, I hate it, when adult women act like a child.
More than often cute females can get away with many 'unattractive' behaviours. It is learnt at a very young age.
The baby talk is annoying
I have a real high voice and I get mistaken on the phone all the tim for a child. Sometimes it's not a woman's fault.
Omg! So do I!
Why do all these terrifying murderers have soft little baby voices?! Jodi Arias?! 😳
Simple manipulation.
Less intimidating. Its a con job.
I do not want to come across anti-women or misogynistic... but like most of the ladies, in my life at least, put on a little baby voice when they want something.
Usually something like (in a baby voice), "You know how you love me? Well I'm really thirsty and...", "Would you like a drink?", "Oo yes please. What a lovely idea."
Just like Greg said - it's part of what makes the organism successful... it worked for these women all their lives to get what they wanted.
They only have it after being found out. Or when trying to charm their prey. Chameleons.
At about 1:01:20 she says “I can guarantee that this is the last thing a guilty person would do!” How can she personally guarantee what a guilty person would do unless she was one. Sounds like she just admitted to being guilty to me.
BINGO!!!!
I wouldn’t be able to get out of bed 8 days after losing 1 child. I’d be hospitalized in a psychiatric facility if I lost 2 especially in such a horrific way.
I want a shirt with an inquisitive looking Mark Bowden on it and right below - " What's going on here?"
She is sooooo guilty. Her supporters are obtuse and delusional
She was counting on that.
She said the intruder knocked her "unconscience." So that explains why she doesn't have a conscience!
Very funny..
Yeah but she also says she wasn't blacked out. Very contradictive statements.
😂😂😂she's such a liar. I always laugh at her trying the annoying high pitched, childlike voice, thinking THAT makes her so believable!! 😂😂😂
I knew for sure, when detectives said Darlie's blood was cleaned up and wiped to try and clean, but obviously she sucks at housework, so it's not surprising that she was too lazy. Lol
@@chantel7827
Respectfully… it’s the same voice with literally EVERY interview, speaking moment since this came out. THAT IS HER VOICE! But…. You’re right! She’s annoying..lol and guilty as hell! 😂 she deserves right where she’s at!!
I noticed that too and thought maybe a Freudian slip
Thank you for doing this analysis. I lived in the area when this happened and my husband worked with one of her neighbors. There is so much evidence that the national news organizations like to leave out when they cover this case. They just want it to look like it was just stupid small town investigators who went after this poor woman just because she grieved in a weird way. As they always say, how do any of us know how we would react in that circumstance? I think most people have enough empathy to know how humans react to certain situations.
A few years ago I listened to an interview with the investigators on this case. They were deeply disturbed by these murders and continued to investigate even after her conviction.
When her husband sold the house and moved out, they got a search warrant and went through the house. They found boxes of the boys photos and toys left behind in the attic. It just makes you wonder what is wrong with that whole family.
I found it odd Darren failed a lie detector test and they lit it slide. I found it really convenient he was upstairs didn’t hear a peep…. Who leaves pictures of their sons. He always divorced darlie later as well.
Lie detectors have been disproved. I thought everybody knew that
I think maybe he paid someone to kill her
@@davidtassy9901 Darlie took a private lie detector test before trial and her results have never been released to the public. How do you feel about that?
@@2hereagain Darlie and Darin were probably as guilty as each other, but she was definitely guilty. There is plenty of evidence that wasn't sensationalised, but the difference is, the cover up had enough evidence to show that Darlie definitely had something to do with it, and Darin wasnt bleeding so he was harder to prove.
The problem is everyone comes to this conclusion that if Darin is guilty that means Darlie is innocent, and she is not.
If she proves Darin had something to do with it then she has to admit that she did too, and I have had enough experience with neighbours to know that they don't know as much as they say they do when something like this happens. They loved Darlie because she was good to them but it was only ever superficial, she loved the status.
The only differences between Darlie and Diane Downs is that Darlie is likeable, and isnt a narcissist, so her intellect just about matches her perception of her own intelligence, and she isnt stupid.
I will say though I'm glad she has stopped that fake baby voice in recent years, it makes me gag.
In my life I have known two women close to me who lost a child: one from suicide,the other one from car accident. Both of them literally aged 20 years in one night because of grief. Their eyes are still so full of sadness and pain. They both look like ghosts.
I don't see it here. I just don't. Grief is universal,a mother's love is universal. I don't know...I believe she's guilty.
Yes good point.
My 2nd cousin lost her 18yr old son to accidental drowning 3yrs ago.
Even though she has 4 children still, she has not gotten over it. She has constant dark bags under her eyes from crying.... goes to work but is a shell of her former self...& surprises herself that her marriage is still intact.
Mourning & grief for a lost child can take a lifetime.
Not once has my cousin got balloons & shot silly string @ his grave while laughing her head off.
EXACTLY! My mother, and two of my sister lost children, and each of the changed in ways that can't be quantified. I was 5 years old when my 18 year old brother was killed. My mother was a HUSK of a human being for 15 years before I started seeing some of her again. It aged her, it changed her forever, and I was mothered (if you can call it that) by a woman who was angry that she was alive, and who hated and resented the inconvenience of having a small child to look after.
That's grief. My mother is the strongest woman I've ever known, and it nearly destroyed her.
@@MsLambchop Oh,I am so sorry for your loss. That must have been really tough.
@@cookie_dough_hangover ... it was, but it wasn't until my first child was born that I began to understand my mother's utter anguish. As I held my beautiful new born baby boy and smelled his sweet little head, and caressed his tiny hands, I finally understood my mother and it helped me heal. Thank you for your compassion.
I am a pragmatic, unemotional person, and even I can't imagine the pain of losing a child - much less two. Unless Routiere was just straight up psychologically broken, as in experiencing a break in reality, I would not just off-handedly chalk her behavior up to "well, everyone grieves differently. " What this woman displays in her behavior is not normative.
I lost my oldest son almost 5 years ago and I am still not over it. Think about him every day and the tears are always there.
Your child is dying from being stabbed to death. "Be strong." "Okay mommy." Sounds like something in a movie, not something in real life.
That's right. She mimics behaviour.
Greg, I am sorry for your loss Sir.
I believe that a mother who is innocent would be out looking for the perpetrator, not having a party. She did that to those babies.
I will leave this world with a clear conscience because I know what happened.... except for that bit where I cant remember any of it.
I agree Scott....to have a birthday party after your child has been murdered, dancing, laughing at their grave....unconscionable.
Every year, even 50 yrs later, until I died, I would be in pain.
Time never heals something like this....it just stitches a patch over your heart and soul, that rips open every now and then.
Beautiful explanation of the lingering grief!! That patch enables you to carry on but it does truly rip off on occasion. Wonderfully said! ❤❤
The media didn't show the hole tape
The media did not show the whole tape as wise41 said… it actually shows her & her family crying… I really do not see anything wrong with her actions here… she was celebrating their life, this was what they would have wanted happen at their birthday if they were alive…. Sadly people twist truths to fit what they want to make someone look bad…
@@steviesgirlbrenwag I am not asking for an argument here in any way ~ but have you ever had to bury A child as I have? I can tell you that I, and every member of my family, friends, and support group, find this behavior extremely questionable. There is no way you could exhibit that level of happiness when true grief seizes you. No way!
@@wise4124 they showed enough. She can obviously pretend cry, so that would be useless in changing anyone's mind.
I listened to the 911 recording, it fits the pattern of telling “a story” and not “the story”.
Like they always say on the panel, in 9/11 calls, if the person is telling any type of story instead of describing the condition of the injured person and asking how to help, they are mostly always the perpetrator. Watch the staircase one there’s a very good example of this. Happy learning, fellow panelist!
I can't believe some in the comments doubt her guilt. Her behavior and demeanor in no way matches up with someone who was innocent of this. Where's the rage and demand to find the killer? We recently had a mom who hunted down and killed all of her daughter's killers. They ended up killing this Mom because of it. No rage burns hotter than a parent whose child was maliciously murdered and Darlie had 2 little boys that suffered this yet she doesn't have any passion about it? You can clearly see she's putting on a show and loves the attention. Do you really think a stranger came in and viciously stabbed her boys to death but left everyone else alive? Doesn't make sense.
What case are you referring to? "WE recently had a mom".... Who is "we"? Who killed the mother who killed her child's murderers?
Absolutely!
Too bad they didn't play the interview right after the murder where Darlie and her husband were outside speaking to the reporters and Darlie has a huge smile on her face, then remembers she is not supposed to be happy and quickly changes her expression.
No one smiles in jail talking about the Very Brutal Murder of there children! Why isn't she saying, " Can you imagine seeing your children brutally stabbed and murdered"! Instead it's all about me and what I went through! She is exactly where she belongs!
*their children

“We’re dealing with a psychopathic idiot...” -Scot Rouse. 🤣👍🏼
“We’re dealing with a psychopathic idiot...”
Listen to Scott.
The fact that she can just flutter her eye-lids and have half of the commenters here protest her innocence is deeply worrying.
@@Ryotbh what's deeply worrying is that you think that just because she flutters her eyelids that we're all Hoodwinked by that . I based my decision on her innocence because of lots of documentaries and reports on this case not her batting her eyelashes. We are not that naive and stupid!
@@jillybean3688 Have you read the court transcripts?
@@GramCracker77 folks like jilly are basing their opinion on "feelings" instead of the forensics and facts, which i can understand to a degree.. nobody wants to believe a mother would viciously slaughter her own children but this woman is a psychopath and incapable of empathy.
@@jillybean3688 How about basing her guilt or innocence on the evidence and not half baked biased documentaries which are concerned more with ratings than with the truth. Routier is guilty.
Greg, my condolences for the loss of your child. And yes, having lost my sister at age 30, to homicide, holidays especially at first are about survival, not celebration.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Darlie is the same type of person as Diane Downs.
I thought this as well. Very similar method of answering and the tone and inflection is very similar.
Mr. Hartley,
I am so sorry to hear that you and your family have lost a child.
I can't imagine how difficult a loss it would be, blessings to you for being able to help others I do believe your work here will aid others in thier lives.
I know it helps me when I am able to understand why I am seeing red flags rather than in the past only being able to feel something is off now I have a reason other than just feeling.
CAN YOU PLEASE DO AN OJ SIMPSON ANALYSIS PLEASE??
they recently did one.
@@annapolitanuum4046 I couldn't find one when i looked! Do you have a link??
@@annapolitanuum4046 Sorry, not these guys. The commenters are really hoping for an OJ panel soon!
"He knocked me un'conscience" 🤣
Freudian slip...?
Actually, maybe no. She clearly does not have a conscience.
"I know the truth. I know what really happened."
... Wait, haven't you been claiming to not remember anything?
Thank you! I thought I was the only one who caught that.
In the trial transcript, she said her little boy woke her up after being stabbed then changed it; she was awakened by the attacker. She lied all through that transcript.
Imagine being in the middle of all of what happened just being woken to see a blood bath. I’m certain it would play over and over and over in your head and play out slightly differently or you’d think did that happen or what if. I’m almost sure it would be really hard to completely piece something like this together in your head so I think that’s it’s almost impossible to use that to decide she’s guilty. I’ve done quite abit of research into this case and I’m still 50/50 the prosecution make a lot of good points but then the defence also make a lot of good points too and they all seem to contradict each other over and over
She did it…..and she’s not getting out despite all the naive ppl thinking she’s innocent
Guilty. Still guilty.
@@conspiracytheory8101 I agree! And I found one statement “ODD” A.F.! When speaking of the silly string incident, WHY did she say, “ A guilty person wouldn’t do that!” …H0W would she KNOW what a guilty person would or wouldn’t do?
Wait just a ding dang minute!! I thought Ms. Routier was attempting to sell her own b.s. about being NOT guilty! Right?!
Just had a thought - the ‘silly string video’ - is this the equivalent of going out to buy milk products at 3am?
PLEASE do Diane Downs! Her parole hearing, and an in prison interview were something to see.
This one was good... Datlie is a horrible actress.. Even I could see her deceptive behavior.
Great idea! Diane Downs is a fresh cut fu*k psychopath. With her I can see it in her eyes!
To this day she makes me sick.
I am the arresting officer, in the pink shirt walking her into Dallas County Jail, and I worked the crime scene.
It was horrific. Not a doubt she did it.
I can't imagine the horrors you must have seen.
Sarah, I am in awe of you and your fellow officers. I can see by the reaction of your fellow officer that ALL of you were heavily impacted by this case (I'm sorry I can't remember his name, but he is in this video). And I think a telltale sign, Is that you officers show more emotion than the children's own mother. I saw her prison interview from 2020 (I think) And listening to this woman and talk about nurturing her "garden" being her greatest joy made me ill. No one is buying what she has been selling for 25 years. Her bullsh*t stinks to high heaven. She gave birth by way of biological byproduct. That does not make her a mother. Or a victim. She is (and will always be) the scariest kind of monster. One disguised as a parent.
Sarah Zimmerman I feel sorry for all those who worked on this horrific crime , I dont know how ppl can believe the lies darlie trots out , shes one sick monster & her followers arent much better
How in the heck did she get severe bruising on her arms and how can her husband not hear all the commotion from the start?
@@lynnpatenaude5548 darlie made no sound , stabbing the kids makes no noise, the table was just laid on its side, her bruises well think about it ,you've got a man wielding a knife & u get bruises wudnt her arms be all cut up? But no she has bruises her neck only required steri strips, she didnt need a blood transfusion, the doctor stated the bruises were caused after she left the hospital , if a man went in that house to murder her dont u think she would be dead, he didnt leave her for dead according to her she ran after him, darlie is the one who murdered the boys not some invisible man
On the 911 call, she was telling the operator the kids were dead. I can't imagine making that assumption before EMS even got there.
Really good point she was hoping t hey were death
That's right and she focuses completely on the situation as a crime, not a medical emergency. Also, whenever the 9 1 1 operator asks her about the intruder she avoids giving any information. She's as vague about the intruder as she can be.
Highly unusual for a parent to say that.
Nooooo, I need to sleep! Shouldn’t have checked before bed but Scott’s a tease with his “sometimes it drops on Wednesday night...”
I lost a child as well, 7 days after I could hardly get out of bed, no way in hell I couldn’t throw a party, laugh and chew gum.
You say that but everyone grieves differently..
@@TheCrandons I agree. As a children’s nurse I saw many families who lost children dealing with grief in very different ways. The truth is you don’t get judges on that response I less some doubt exists about how the child died. The case of Lindy Chamberlain absolutely embodies this: she was tried and found guilty on the court of public opinion and the police slaughtered her reputation- she was innocent but spent many years behind bars.
@@Truth1561 I agree. Every parent would celebrate their children's lives in different ways. Darlie I don't think is innocent but I don't think she did it to herself. I think her husband has a huge part to play. Darlie grieved her own way.
@@TheCrandons I pray you never go thru it but I am a member of many groups where parents lost kids, not one parent was laughing and shooting silly string 7 days after the lost their child, most like me were so exhausted with grief they couldn’t hardly get up and go. Yes people grieve different but unless you’ve lost a child you have no idea what the pain is truly like and you definitely don’t feel like laughing, period! All you want to do is cry
@@jacksonjo5045 I’m sorry you went through that, and I’m sure are still. Xoxox💕
😂 Greg's impressions of Darlie are hilarious!
I agree with these experts. She’s lying , guilty and where she belongs. Poor little boys. 💔
