There is evidence of an intruder>
The photos do show boot prints on the carpet impressions.
Darlie was obsessive about the carpet--- trust me this is first hand knowledge. NO ONE wore shoes in the house. [?QUOTE]
The cops and EMTs and firemen did.

No other "mother killer" has ever held out this long in denial she did it.
O, yeah? Diane Downs still claims to be innocent and she has a lot more years on her than Darlie does. Debbie Milke still claims innocence, too, and she was caught with the bullets to the gun that shot the little boy. Claims of innocence carry no weight at all. Better than confessing, I guess, but definitely don't make one innocent.

I've heard every diet pill freak theory as motive but to tell you truth Darlie is too Dumb for that.
No, she isn't. Besides, PPD has nothing at all do with how smart or dumb someone is. It crosses all classes and races and aptitudes.

Not don't get me wrong she isn't stupid. She could balance a check book enough to handle the business and home most of the time. She knew the A/R reports and Debits coming out. Everyone knows she liked to spend money.
Could she plan an execute this crime
If she killed for a profit why didn't she make one. Insurance 10,000
Funeral for your sons 14,000.
Possibly going to prison for it Priceless.
People who commit these types of murder are risk takers. They don't believe they will get caught. They think their story is believable and are usually shocked when people don't believe them. They think they can charm their way out of it and usually insist on testifying, only to hang themselves just the way Darlie did.
As for your money motive there, it is difficult to know without her telling us exactly what was going thru her mind, but I suspect she expected there to be more than enough money, but not necessarily from insurance funds.

She lacks the forthought and intelligence to plan an execute this kind of thing.
How demeaning? How intelligent do you think one has to be to kill another? In this country, 10 year olds have certainly been smart enough. Are you saying she is mentally deficient?

Frankly murder wouldn't cross her mind- she could torture you in other ways.
She wasn't mean spirited or anything like that. I used to baby sit her and she later baby sat for me. I've known Mama Darlie since I was 17. Darlie Lynn was a little girl and down right beautiful. Grown men would look twice at her when she was 7, just like her sons she has an angelic face.
She in no way fits the profile of women who kill their children. Knives were used in the crime and it is not very comman for a women of Darlie's ethnic and cultural profile to knife her children.
The numbers don't add up here that is what bothers me.
Every other women who has killed their children has confessed after much less time and pressure.
Why hasn't she.
I agree that she doesn't fit the profile of a woman who would murder her children and that is part of the attraction to this case, but many women who kill their children don't fit the profile either....like Dr Green in Kansas. She still claims she is innocent too. She is withdrawing her confession. O, and don't forget Julie Rea in Illinois. She won a new trial which hasn't been heard yet, but she also insists she is innocent.
Sorry, but it will take more than claims of innocence to convince me. I want specifics. Anyone else would have recovered their lost memory long ago and if they had some success with hypnotism, they would want to be hypnotized again and again to recover as much as possible. I am very disappointed that Darlie seems to have no interest in remembering what could save her life. I understand someone wrote to her asking if a psychic could aid in the case and she turned them down. So all in all, she isn't giving us much reason to believe her.
