Crime Weekly

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 Darlie 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 Darlie was walking around, bleeding from several knife injuries of her own.

As officers cleared the house and paramedics worked to save the victims, Darlie 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 piece together what had unfolded in the Routier home, a new set of questions emerged—about Darlie’s version of events, the physical evidence, and what she did—and didn’t do—after the attack.

Karen Read, accused of killing her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe, is now on trial for a second time. With jurors now deliberating after hearing months of testimony, the case hinges on conflicting narratives: prosecutors claim Read struck O’Keefe with her car, leaving him to die, while the defense argues she’s being framed and a law enforcement cover-up is at play.
