Confession: The Case of Convicted Child Killer Darlie Routier
“I don’t know what happened! But I did it! I don’t know why!”
These are the words that flew out of Darlie’s mouth just one day after she killed two of her children, Devon and Damon Routier, on June 6, 1996 in Rowlett, Texas.
Darlie’s best friend, Basia, had just entered the room at the hospital. Darlie asked the other people in the room to leave so the two women could be alone.
When the room cleared, Darlie blurted out the truth before her husband, Darin Routier, had the chance to stop her. In fact, he was not in the room either. But when he returned he glared at Basia as if to say that she had damn well better not breathe a word of what his wife had obviously just told her.

I believe she killed them
This is not the first book I have read on this case. The court transcripts & 911 call were compelling. What convinced me, was the graveyard party. Bizarre.

Garbage backed up with no proof
Don't waste your time reading this piece of garbage! If I could give it zero stars I would. I don't believe a single word that the so called Basia said Darlie Routier told her at the hospital after the tragic death of 2 angles and the near death of DARLIE. If it had been true she would have been in court testifying, as the INVESTIGATORS would have interviewed her. It's ONLY BEEN 20 year's before she tells this so called author about Darlie's confession at the hospital several hours after the tragedy, before or after Darlie was taken into surgery for her wounds. The only thing I think DARLIE ROUTIER is guilty of is loving a man who wanted her dead to save his own a*s.

Good short book about the Routier case
This book is the first of many short (less than 100 pages) books that cover the author's opinions about the Darlie Routier case. I have also followed this case for more than 20 years and I have read more books about this case.

Not a lot of new info. Would have liked a more thorough look at the evidence.

Biased and out of context.
This is an opinion piece. The author believes Darlie is guilty and backs it up with quotes that are taken out of context. Information that doesn't support her opinion are conveniently left out. It's also a very confusing read.

Not worth the money
I bought this, thinking it would be an in depth examination of the case.
It is more like a bullet point essay.
Far too short.
