Join Jules, Lisa and Matt on a thought-provoking and chilling journey as we explore the evidence, scrutinize the theories, and question the verdict that has left many perplexed and divided.

In the quiet town of Rowlett, Texas, a seemingly idyllic suburban home transforms into a scene of unimaginable horror. On June 6, 1996, Darlie Routier, a young mother of three, claimed that an intruder had broken into her home, brutally attacked her and her children, and left her fighting for her life. Tragically, two of her sons did not survive the ordeal.

But as investigators delved into the details, inconsistencies emerged, and Darlie soon found herself accused of a heinous crime: the murder of her own children. The case captured national attention, fueled by sensational media coverage and a series of shocking revelations that challenged the initial narrative.

In this gripping podcast series, we explore the complexities of the Darlie Routier case, dissecting the evidence, examining the forensic analysis, and exploring the motives behind the prosecution's case. We delve into the courtroom drama, revealing the strategies employed by both the defense and the prosecution, and examine the role of public perception in shaping the outcome.

We confront the lingering questions that continue to haunt this case: Did Darlie Routier commit these unspeakable acts? Or was she a victim of a flawed investigation and a rush to judgment?

As we peel back the layers of this compelling story, we also explore broader themes of justice, the death penalty, and the impact of media on high-profile trials. We invite you to join us on this riveting exploration, where we seek to shed light on the Darlie Routier case and challenge your own perceptions of guilt and innocence.
