In the early morning hours of June 6, 1996, a frantic 911 call came in from a quiet neighborhood in Rowlett, Texas. On the line was 26-year-old

Darley Routier who said she and her sons had been stabbed by an intruder while they slept

in the downstairs family room. When first responders arrived, they found a horrific scene.

Six-year-old Devon and five-year-old Damon lying on the floor with

multiple stab wounds while Darley was walking around bleeding from several knife injuries of her own.

As officers cleared the house and paramedics worked to save the victims, Darley repeated

the same story. A man in dark clothing had come into the family room, stabbed her and her children,

then fled through the garage, leaving the knife behind.

But as investigators began to process the scene and pieced together what had unfolded in the Routier home,

a new set of questions emerged, about Darley's version of offense, the physical

evidence, and what she did and didn't do after the attack.

Hello everybody.

Welcome back to Crime Weekly.

I'm Stephanie Harlow.

And I'm Derek Labasser.

So today we're covering a case that, I mean, how long have we been doing Crime Weekly now?

Almost five years.

It would be five years, December 4th.

So this case has been requested for about five years. Since we started, there's always people in the comments asking us to cover the Darley

Routier case. And I can see why. I mean, it's a- Did you cover this on your channel? No, no. Okay.

It's a highly controversial case.

As I had mentioned on Crime Weekly News, I know how I feel about it, but there are a lot of people who believe that Darley is innocent.
