On the night of June 6, 1996, police came upon the horrific scene of a woman covered in blood claiming her sons, Damon and Devon Routier were stabbed to death in their Texas home by an unknown intruder. Suspicions arose when a layer of dust near the window where the intruder allegedly exited was untouched, even though the screen had been slashed. There were also bloody footprints throughout the house which eventually led to the murder weapon, a bloody kitchen knife. After an in-depth interrogation, the father of the children, Darin, was cleared as a potential suspect, however, the mother of the children, Darlie, was not. As Darlie revealed her story, police noticed many inconsistencies.
