Every week Twisted Two's dives into a pair of uniquely terrifying true stories that are worthy of a more in depth look.#1 Damon & Devon Routier - Rowlett, TexasOn June 6, 1996, 911 received a frantic call from the Routier home in Rowlett, Texas. Darlie Routier told the operator she woke up with an intruder inside her home and that they had stabbed her two sons, Devon and Damon before attacking her. Police were on the scene within 3 minutes of the call. After securing the home, they tended to the victims. 6 year old DEvon had suffered a major stab wound that went through to his torso and was pronounced dead on the scene. Meanwhile, Damon who was 5, was still gasping for breath and paramedics did their best to help the boy but he also soon died from a stab wound to the back. As for Darlie, she had superficial wounds on her arms and a slash across her throat that was just millimeters away from hitting her carotid artery. Darlie recounted how she had fallen asleep in the living room with her two boys. Her husband, Darin, and their 7-month old son Drake were asleep in the upstairs bedroom and they were left unharmed. She said she woke up to a man standing over and attacking her. She screamed for Darin and the intruder was alarmed and fled the home, dropping the knife he used in the kitchen. #2 Michael Silka – Manley Hot Springs, AlaskaManley Hot Springs in Alaska was a quiet small town boasting 80 residents in 1984. But in May of that year, a drifter by the name of Michael Silka passed through and did something that nobday there will ever forget. As a young boy, Michael loved the outdoors. He was fascinated with guns and has had a long history of run ins with the law. By high school, he and his brother ran away from home and lived in the woods, only returning after they had depleted their supplies. Michael later joined the US Military on the advice of a neighbor but by 1981, he was discharged due to an assault and discharging his weapon in the barracks. During his military training, he was rated as an expert marksman with a grenade launcher and M16 rifle. After leaving the army he worked odd jobs but also accrued more law enforcement problems. At one point, he spent 4 days in jail for resisting arrest. During his infractions, he had shown up in court multiple times but on December 20, he skipped bond and fled to Alaska.Support the show
