98: The Disturbing Case of Darlie Routier: The Mom on Death Row Who Says She’s Innocent
from That's Disturbing - True Crime Podcast · host Daphne King and Gayle King - True Crime Podcast Hosts
In this episode, we dive into one of the most controversial true crime cases in America, the story of Darlie Routier, a Texas mother convicted of brutally murdering her sons in 1996. The case shocked the nation after a viral graveside video showed Darlie spraying Silly String and laughing just days after the murders, footage prosecutors used to portray her as a heartless killer. But was the public shown the full story? We break down the timeline of the attack, the alleged intruder theory, questionable forensic evidence, and the media frenzy that may have shaped the jury’s perception. Nearly three decades later, Darlie Routier still sits on death row, maintaining her innocence as new questions about the investigation continue to surface.https://www.tdcj.texas.gov/death_row/dr_info/routierdarlie.htmlhttps://www.cnn.com/2015/07/10/us/death-row-stories-darlie-routierhttps://www.texasmonthly.com/true-crime/maybe-darlie-didnt-do-it/https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Tykq2vJrxk0dSVtYJhiD_l1kfmybhwj02_syP3YOeX4/edit?fbclid=IwY2xjawQNoHlleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETJGYmFKRDB0eTJJRkxvMnNnc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHp-XVJLWsymTqpWJFrWltZVjyr8-Wyn1_b7FmSEPsLDTpZFj2Rjp7XPYH66n_aem_l_ayFRZE2P60oCVvDZmpbg&tab=t.0https://www.facebook.com/mythvsfactdarlieroutierTrue Crime Matters on YT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD-kyJaTOFQ&t=244shttps://www.scribd.com/document/432399946/Darlie-Routier-Petition-for-Writ-of-Habeas-Corpushttps://investigatinginnocence.org/darlie-routier#:~:text=Make%20Your%20Voice%20Heard!,for%20Darlie%20at%20Change.orghttps://forensicfilesnow.com/index.php/tag/drake-routier/https://www.darlieroutierfactandfiction.com/cast-of-characters/https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc987629/m1/
