30. 1:06[Music]
31. 1:11cornered right near the karate
32. 1:13artery Dolly Routier had no criminal
33. 1:16record in fact up to this point she
34. 1:18never had much involvement with the
35. 1:20police aside from watching Law and
36. 1:23Order could she really be the kind of
37. 1:25person who would kill her own children
38. 1:27and then slash her own throat
39. 1:32the 911 call seemed like it should have
40. 1:34been a critical part of dar's
41. 1:37Defense what's going on
42. 1:40man I mean you listen to the call sounds
43. 1:42it sounds like a legit call I mean you
44. 1:44could hear a real frantic woman her
45. 1:47emotions are really running
46. 1:49[Music]
47. 1:51High Toby shook who prosecuted darly
48. 1:55never brought into the 911
49. 1:57call to him it was all an act A
50. 2:00desperate woman who resorted to
51. 2:02Desperate Measures to get what she
52. 2:03wanted I think what got the
53. 2:05investigator's attention first were very
54. 2:07low crime neighborhood not no no violent
55. 2:09crimes occurs in their neighborhood and
56. 2:11it's obvious in this crime that the
57. 2:13object of the attack were the boys these
58. 2:15were devastating wounds penetrating
59. 2:17knife wounds that went through their
60. 2:18entire bodies Charlie rer had a
61. 2:21superficial wound to her neck and one to
62. 2:23her arm 2 days after she was released
63. 2:26from the hospital she came to the police
64. 2:28station this would be about four or five
65. 2:30days after the murder and showed up with
66. 2:32these massive bruises on the inside of
67. 2:34her arms how many days later she showed
68. 2:37up two days after being released
69. 2:38hospital I believe she she realized the
70. 2:40police weren't believing her story we
71. 2:41showed all those bruises to the nurses
72. 2:44who attended her and the uh the
73. 2:46Physicians that attended her they said
74. 2:49that these bruises weren't there my
75. 2:52argument uh and maintained also is if
76. 2:54this supposed to be some guy who's in
77. 2:56there who wants to to kill darly rouer
78. 3:00uh and he's hitting her so hard that
79. 3:01he's calling these massive bruises on
80. 3:03the inside of arms how come he didn't
81. 3:04smash her in the face you know how come
82. 3:05he didn't bust her in the nose in the
83. 3:07mouth she can identify why do you leave
84. 3:09her alive so she can identify but of
85. 3:12course darling got amnesia he the
86. 3:14luckiest killer in the world the witness
87. 3:16who can put you on death row she gets
88. 3:18amnesia and can't remember anything
89. 3:19about you I agree with you I mean
90. 3:21somebody breaking and killing two kids
91. 3:23and she's left with a cut why isn't she
92. 3:26finished off right just didn't make
93. 3:28sense and her story just wouldn't add
94. 3:30enough No Stranger would come in the
95. 3:32house that way it's very illogical uh
96. 3:34you know he said first of all we look at
97. 3:37uh it's very low crime area these kinds
98. 3:39of killings don't happen secondly this
99. 3:41neighborhood is hard to get in and get
100. 3:43out of uh if you're going to commit a
101. 3:44crime like this especially or even a
102. 3:46burglar you want some easy access you
103. 3:48had to kind of wander around through the
104. 3:50neighborhood yeah the Andrea yat is that
105. 3:52that was in Texas correct she drowned
106. 3:55her children I mean and they attribute
107. 3:57that something to postpartum depression
108. 3:59did you think of that in these terms at
109. 4:01all no psychotic there was no evidence
110. 4:02she was suffering from anything like
111. 4:04Andrea Yates had a long psychological
112. 4:06history and was hearing voices this was
113. 4:09a this is a killing that you have then
114. 4:11you want to cover the crime up I know
115. 4:13you're not a doctor but how would you
116. 4:15sum up her behavior and describing her
117. 4:18how would you describe her as a
118. 4:20person she's a
119. 4:23[Music]
120. 4:26psychopath I got I got to tell you you
121. 4:28this is some hell of a bruise is
122. 4:30how does you hold somebody down I don't
123. 4:32know and create a bruise like that it
124. 4:34look like a truck ran over this guy was
125. 4:36holding it down she had to be struggling
126. 4:38to create bruises like this because they
127. 4:40run from here down to the wrist we only
128. 4:44got circumstantial aage got no witness
129. 4:46statements but his circumstantial
130. 4:48evidence and the way he explained it
131. 4:50makes it look very bad for
132. 4:52Dolly a close friend of Dolly's
133. 4:55testified that she had become depressed
134. 4:57after the birth of her third son and had
135. 5:00even threatened to commit
136. 5:02suicide and several other people told us
137. 5:05that darly and Darren had been having
138. 5:07problems including arguments about money
139. 5:10keeping up with the Joneses was tearing
140. 5:12them

148. 5:31slashed how come they don't kill
149. 5:34her 5 weeks into our
150. 5:36investigation Reggie and I had
151. 5:38completely changed our opinion of darly
152. 5:41we began thinking more and more that she
153. 5:44was where she belonged behind
154. 5:48bars but we'd soon come across evidence
155. 5:51that would take everything we learned
156. 5:52about this case so far and turn it on
157. 5:55its head somebody came into my home and

184. 7:22Texas in our town in the country 8 days
185. 7:25before his birthday
186. 7:27[Music]
187. 7:31just days after the burials a local news
188. 7:33station broadcast footage of Dolly at
189. 7:35the grave site the prosecution used the
190. 7:38tape as proof that dolly was a Sinister
191. 7:41monster out of control and out of touch
192. 7:43with
193. 7:45reality but dar's mother and sister say
194. 7:48the tape was taken completely out of
195. 7:52context we met them at their home in
196. 7:55Plano Texas Two Towns over from where
197. 7:57the murders took place
198. 8:01the big story about this is the Silly
199. 8:04String that was your idea for the Silly
200. 8:06String you're the one that bought that
201. 8:08and brought that there and you can tell
202. 8:10us about it it was the most ridiculous
203. 8:12thing you know Devon was fixing to be
204. 8:15seven we were having a birthday party
205. 8:17for him he was so excited and then all
206. 8:20this happened you know his friends had
207. 8:22gone out and bought gifts and then we
208. 8:24had to explain to his friends and the
209. 8:26neighborhood children that someone had
210. 8:29come in and killed them and I mean how
211. 8:31do you explain that to Little Children
212. 8:33You know little children don't
213. 8:35understand the grieving process like
214. 8:37adults they don't understand it death
215. 8:39and you know these horrible things that
216. 8:42happen so what children there that day
217. 8:44in addition to yourselves we had a
218. 8:46prayer service a prayer service and then
219. 8:48we planned to be there at the grave site
220. 8:51that evening so all the kids could come
221. 8:54and since obviously we weren't going to
222. 8:56have the party it was just a way for us
223. 8:59to all get gather and to be together and
224. 9:00to feel close and comfort and it wasn't
225. 9:04a celebration of their death oh yay
226. 9:07they're dead woohoo it
227. 9:09was it's their birthday you know you see
228. 9:12that that's the thing that was looked at
229. 9:15examined by so many people people said
230. 9:17was wrong it was inappropriate it was so
231. 9:20ridiculous they sat there and they
232. 9:21watched that tape over and over and over
233. 9:23again who watched the jurs the jurs they
234. 9:25didn't watch anything but the Silly
235. 9:27String part so you I was never allowed
236. 9:30to testify nobody ever asked me a single
237. 9:33question about that that's too bad so
238. 9:35darly sets in in death throw because of
239. 9:38silly string and overzealous prosecutors
240. 9:40and bad police
241. 9:42work she was wonderful she really was
242. 9:45and it's very lonely without
243. 9:52her she's walking around with a lot of
244. 9:54guilt she really feels that she put her
245. 9:58sister
246. 10:00on death row with that silly stream
247. 10:02incident meant so much to the jurors
248. 10:04that they watched it so many times
249. 10:05during a conviction of Dolly and if it
250. 10:08would have been explained the way she
251. 10:10did I think they would have seen it in a
252. 10:12lot different way later that evening we
253. 10:15met with Tom Holland's head a retired
254. 10:17DEA agent troubled by what took place at
255. 10:20dar's trial he spent the past few years
256. 10:23taking a look at the case for himself he
257. 10:25agreed that a 22nd tape of a woman
258. 10:28shooting Silly String
259. 10:29was the final blow that convicted dolly
260. 10:31routin
