I am a new member to this site although I have long enjoyed reading the informative posts. I have been working on the Routier case for the last year as a case study for my Master's in Forensic Science. I have presented on this case 2 times and will have 2 final presentations that will start to address the physical evidence, crime scene, and conflicting issues and ultimately I will be asked to assume a resolution based on the facts. All of you in this forum are probably aware of the MANY contrasting opinion, timelines, and "facts" that this case presents. It is difficult for me to bring all of the information together because there seems to be so many different versions. After a year, (I realize the majority on this site have many more) I still find myself going back and forth on determining guilt. There are times that I am incredibly certain that Darlie has got to be guilty, yet, within weeks I end up doubting my certainty. I am sure it is the mother in me that would like to believe that it just could not be possible. I am attempting to finalize my paper outlining the physical evidence, processing results, and admissibility issues. Needless to say, I feel my paper is all over the place. I have a surplus of information but the majority is biased in direction and opinion. I am interested in any advice, thought, or suggestion that any of you might be inclined to provide. I find you all to be incredibly informed and welcome any and all additional thoughts that may help me pull this case together
