The fact that Darin was in the house while this was going on, then saw the "evidence" and still believes his wife is innocent is why I wondered if he was in on it all along.I understand your wonderings, believe me. I went through the same thing beginning on June 6, 1996 - the date of the kids murder.I can't imagine seeing such flimsy evidence and having my children murdered and not realizing my spouse had done it. But, if it was a concerted effort I could see the strong stand of innocence being maintained.
Meek, the jag being left at your office is new to me. Why in the world would he leave his car, any car, overnight like that? That makes no sense...... unless he didn't want it in the garage for some reason......didn't the "intruder" come through the garage? Did they make more of that and I just missed it?
First of all, to kill 2 of your own children is bizarre regardless of who did it - Darlie, Darin or both. The evidence all pointed to Darlie as I've stated earlier. The evidence I have seen is damning to Darlie, and nothing I've seen points to Darin. If Darin was complicit, I would think that there should be evidence of it, but there's not. All I can judge from is the evidence, and there's plenty of it, all pointing to Darlie.
Regarding the car, I admit that sounds so strange for him to leave his car in our company's parking lot, especially since he didn't work there anymore. So I did some checking right after it happened and found out that it wasn't the first time he had left his car there and in fact he did that quite often. He had worked at our company for 3-5 years or so, and he had friends there still at the time and our company gave him contract work. I figure he probably went out with Bryan, our production manager, or some other of his old friends. He may have been partying and got a ride home and would pick his car up later? Best I can figure.
Oh, btw - I meant to include another tidbit on my post on #31 and forgot. The date of the murder - June 6, 1996? That was my 12th anniversary with the company. I started work on June 6, 1984. I always thought that was so strange.......
Here is an interesting link that includes a recording of the 911 call Darlie made at 2:31 that morning after she killed the kids:
