Killer Moms - Darlie Routier, Diane Downs & Andrea Yates

Killer Moms - Darlie Routier, Diane Downs & Andrea Yates

This week, Amy and Chris profile 3 women who were all convicted of murdering their own children in gruesome fashion.In the first case, Chris discusses the murder of 5-year-old Damon Routier in 1996. Darlie Routier, Damon's mother, called 911 claiming that someone broke in and stabbed her and her children. But several inconsistencies led to Darlie being convicted of the murder and sentenced to death. Seems like an open and shut case, but there are many that believe Darlie is innocent and should be let out of prison. Darlie's other son Devon was also murdered, but Darlie was not tried for his death.In the second case, Amy discusses the case of Elizabeth Diane Downs who attempted to kill all of her children just to maintain an affair. Diane staged an attempted carjacking, shooting all her children and herself, then slowly drove them to a hospital. Her 7-year-old daughter Cheryl, was killed and her other 2 surviving children were permanently injured.And finally, arguably the most famous case of infanticide, Chris details the tragic case of Andrea Yates, the woman who drowned her children in the bathtub in Texas, claiming that Satan had instructed her to do so.
