I actually went to high school and graduated with Keith. His family is raising the children and is such a sweet family. This case really rocked the small town of Robinson.

What’s really sad is this lady killed someone and had a 50,000 bond. I got arrested years ago for drug paraphernalia and had a $100,000 bond. So backwards

My mom worked as a nurse with Darlene and they were very well acquainted. I remember her coming home and telling me about her being arrested. It’s crazy seeing on of my fav true crime creators covering this case!

i love when the titles don’t reveal the case and leaves it mysterious; it really pulls you in!

This is truly an example of someone being rotten on the inside and pretty on the outside 🤮

so my stepdad cut his arm very very badly when I was like seven it went through a plate glass window and he severed his artery. and it was in the middle of the night and I was up even though I should have been sleeping and I was about ready to go downstairs to complain that I couldn't sleep and then I heard my mom run up the stairs and get on the phone with 911. and I will never forget how calm she was and relaying the information about what had happened and I decided to stay in my room. and the next morning I woke up and my grandparents were there because my mom and step dad were at the hospital. and they were in the process of cleaning the kitchen. and then once my mom came home from the hospital that's when she lost it and got very upset and cried and was anxious and it all hit her. now I'm not saying this chick was innocent because clearly she was guilty but just saying someone was calm on 911 isn't always a sign of guilt.

29:33 this part just broke my heart he loved her he was trying to make her happy even though she’s so greedy and selfish may he RIP :”(

When I read the title I imagine the story would be about a murderer of a beauty queen.

I think marrying, having kids and being a parent were aspirational milestones for Darlene rather than inherently worthwhile things. Also, maybe don't keep having kids as a couple if it's unsustainable.

Your "dark chique" set-up was done up primo. This background to me, however, gives a peaceful relief that personally helps me enjoy this kind of content without developing darker draining energy - much preffered.

What I don’t understand is why the police immediately suspected her but didn’t do a gunshot residue test on her hands (was that a thing in 2005?) It would have been much more damning evidence earlier on, but it could have kept them from finding the gun how and when they did. And I assume she dumped the gun after she saw the property with the lake since she seemed so excited about it and then later was adamant about not wanting the lake, so maybe they could have found it wherever she was keeping it prior to it being dumped in the lake.

I was born and raised in Cameron, Tx. Every now and then you’ll hear people mention her and this case. Had family that graduated high school with her too. Whenever the part about the pond gets brought up, people always start laughing. Like “That dummy really thought they weren’t staking out her property?!” Heard a lot about how she was such a good person and they were just a good family all around. Then she had to go and ruin her family and children’s lives forever. Such a waste.

I have been seeing hailey more than my family these days

1. Live below your means and avoid debt. 2. Discipline and actually parent your children Yep, he’s the smart one so far

It’s crazy to think about all the different things that happen to people in different parts of the world on the same day. When Darlene was sent to prison, I was being born 😟

I remember this story on Snapped. Her phone calls to the police was crazy. She really was super calm and went over her whole motive before finally saying that he'd been shot. She was such a horrible criminal that it was comical.

I was in prison with her. She has been dating a girl who was convicted of planning her parents murder for like 5+ years. She's greedy with her gfs commissary, won't let her talk to other girls, and got caught cheating with a male officer a few months before I made parole.

pov: it's thursday morning and you have to clean the house. you look at something to listen to on youtube and find that hayley uploaded a new video. you feel happy.

I really love your lighting. With my fibromyalgia it’s difficult at times to watch videos because of constant light changes or bright lights used. Your voice, the setup, and just everything is perfect! 💕 thank you for another lovely video :)

There are a few things I like to point out, but I'll stick with one because to this day I'll never forget. I heard a family member shot himself. It didn't sound like a "gun" shot at all. It sounded like something metal dropping like a tray dropping on the floor. It's always what I think of. It wasn't loud. It didn't make a big bang or anything. I heard it and another family member, but most of the family slept through it and never heard it. So I honestly can see how people could have slept through it. Also I sleep through gun shots often ( live in the country) but jolt awake to the slightest whimper from my baby when he was a newborn. 😅

hailey fans know this is a reupload but we love you hailey!!!

When something traumatic happens everyone reacts in different ways. Even healthcare staff can go into deep shock and behave irrational (focusing on the wrong things instead of methodically do cpr and notify the police etc). Something traumatic happens and then there are 4 stages that all go through due to psychology (no one gets away from this because pf how the brain is wired). The 4 stages during and after trauma: 1 shock (here you have distrubutve, cardiogenic, obstructure and hypovolemic), 2 reaction (rational or irrational), 3 processing (here the person takes in and starts to deal with the thing that caused the trauma, 4 reorient is the final stage where the person has come out of the 3 previous stages and are setting up a new way of life (having to live with the trauma and finding ways to so so. For example people who might have lost a dear one might head into a charity that is tied to what their loved one dealt with etc). To understand the chock phase is very important and I appreciate that Hailey took this into consideration while discussing the matter (even though the wife turned out to be bat.... you know what).

If her kids were sick why was she getting them ready for school? Lol

I miss the dancing skeletons, darnit! !!

You deserve more recognition. I have been watching you since you had a couple videos and have watched every single one. I love you and hope nothing but goodness happens to you💕💕💕

All things spooky, scary, skeletons I miss it

I have been binging your videos while cleaning/ lesson planning for the upcoming year. Love your informational but conversational tone!

Just found this channel & im so glad to see that it isn’t the same cases as all the other channels that have been covered a thousand times!

I remember when this happened. We lived in Robinson during this time. So many holes in her story. No one believed her.

love listening to this while playing sims

Another great video! Thanks Hailey. Really appreciate your in-depth format.

The guns on the lawn thing might make sense if they were thrown in a bush or something, like the intruder got spooked after killing someone and just wanted to abandon the whole thing but not if they are stacked.

Literally just found her channel and am loving it! I will definitely check out your podcast. Kudos to you

this might be an interesting case to research if i only remembered the name. i believe i heard this first from a philly d vid: a few years ago (maybe 2017ish) i remember this case of a woman who catfished a bunch of guys over facebook. she used a bunch of elaborate fake accounts and stories and a few of the men involved with her ended up taking their lives. it stuck with me because of the multiple suicides, at the time i had never heard of cat fishing scams ending like that. idk if anyone remembers what i'm talking about but that was the gist of it

I feel so badly for the children. Thanks for the story 👏

thinking about how she went 25 seconds without mentioning her husband was hurt has me feeling ill. i always used to think i would be able to handle myself in a situation where i had to call 911, that i would give them my address or location and then tell them what was happening. then last year i got into a solo spinout accident (no real injuries to me or anyone else, just my car) and bc i knew i was okay i called my mom first and i immediately just kept saying i got into an accident. all those times i was so sure i would be level headed enough to get the information across, and i just kept saying i was in an accident and nothing else until i was able to sit and calm myself. im just one person, i can only speak for myself, but that was just a solo accident that only damaged my car and left me with some bruises, and that had me almost speechless trying to get across what was happening. but finding my partner shot and foaming at the mouth? and being so calm that i can go through my entire morning routine ?? that is unbelievable

I like how you explain the story with detail very calm you're very good very great at explaining the story going into details you're amazing I hope you get to a million soon your number one supporter amazing

Hi, Hailey! Could you make a video about the Menendez Brothers? Seems like an intriguing case! Love your content by the way, hugs from Mexico ♥️

I’m so glad to see you have had so much success. You deserve it. 👍🏻❤️🙏

I have heard other cases of gold diggers leaving a guns oddly placed in the yard (after shooting their significant other.) It’s so bizarre, like they are so sure they won’t be suspected that they don’t even think the scenario all the way through!

Nobody: Haley: “Whilst-“

Your voice is so soothing. I could honestly listen to you read the dictionary and be mesmerized. (Hope that’s not creepy) I’m a very high anxiety ridden person so I love finding people with calm, soothing voices to listen to when I’m having a difficult time calming down. Keep up the amazing work you have been doing with this podcast!

i love your videos SO much but you should make a video on how you research your true crime videos because i have been thinking on how people do it and i think you describe things really well so i would love to know how you do it

I enjoy true crime, they help me when I do artwork and for studying. But my condolences go to the family of Keith

I just discovered your channel and I love your voice and narration style!

You remind me so much of myself when I was younger! Except I had *Ase of Base, Legend of the Falls, Lisa Loeb, Jewel, Alanis Morissette, Nirvana, Usher, L.L. Cool J, JTT (JONATHON TAYLOR THOMAS from Home Improvement), Cheap Trick, The Police, The monkeys* and so on!!! All pinned up on my walls 😆 those were the days 🥰😂

ilysm !! amazing video as always.

Omgggg Hailey!!!!! I’ve been following since 50k and you’re almost at a million in less than a year!!! I don’t know you but I’m proud lol

You did a good job telling the aspects of the story and why the police suspected her.

Oh my gosh this is the first video of yours I’ve watched & I love ittt, your voice is so soothing & you do a great job with your research. Your sign off message is precious too!!

please tell me why i just found your channel, a whole vibe !!

i was waiting for you to upload binged watched all your videos in two days pls😭

Love, love your set up, color tones of the room, the whole vibe is immaculate 🌻 thank you for doing what you love and sharing it with us!

Who else looks behind themselves whenever Hailey says "Behind You"?

First time viewer. I appreciate your research & presentation. Your voice is calming. Thank you

I miss spooky scary skeleton lol

Hailey I love your content! You’ve got a new subscriber 💕

I have a feeling you're right. The boy's are probably older these days than they had been when this occured. I'm just curious if they still have a relationship with their mother, & how her not taking responsibility for the fact plays into their interactions. Like is it just off the table to be talked about or do they believe her? Or what? I'm just nosey dammit! Edit: also how could she dislike her teeth? That was the first thing I noticed about her was "damn, those are some chompers, but very nice chompers indeed. I wonder if her method of murder was chomping the person to death?" I was somewhat disappointed that she infact just shot him in the head. So cliche.

I was literally making a hello fresh meal when the ad read started. Now eating chicken and roasted veggies and it took me like an hour ish to make. Definitely suggest! 👍

Love the pod!!!

I love your videos so much, Hailey. Your voice is so soothing to listen to while I clean or do my manicures. I can't believe you're only 200k away from 1 million

I graduated with and grew up with Keith’s sons and this was the most tragic thing to happen in robinson

Love your content bro thank you for you

All i could think of seeing your window was how cute a window sun catcher would look shining a rainbow behind you as you tell the story. Theres a lot of adorable ones on etsy jsyk! They made my life so much brighter 🌈 you should 100% get one! Ppl love them in youtube videos ive heard. I know i would lmao

Your podcasts are my favorite. I love the way you tell a story, I love your voice, the set up,.. keep up the good work Hailey ♥️

I love the videos, some of my favorites are the vlogs. I can’t wait to see where you take the channel. ❤️

i love your channel and stories. also I love ure posters.

Love your Mac Miller poster!!! I love him and his music. Was so sad when he passed… 😞

Keep up the good work!

I lived in Robinson in 2008 and was friends with a girl who had the same last name as Darlene! Doskocill. We were both in 7th grade. So curious if they’re related. 🤔 I’ve always wanted to watch a story about someone I knew. This one feels close enough so I’m satisfied. 😌 Love your videos!

ur voice is so calming omg

its so interesting how u can make something so horrific sound so calm and relaxing..

This video came perfectly on time for my daily errands 💃🏻

Omg queen where have u been 😩 I haven’t been getting notified of your new videos .

Hi Glad to Be Here For Another case

Love yooooouuuuu and miss your makeup videos :( love from Brazil

I feel so bad for Keith dude. He loved his family so much for nothing.

I loved that you said pre prepared

You look really pretty. Love the makeup, jacket and everything

it's sad that he didn't even wanna give up on their marriage and she did this to him

“flag corpse” 😂😂❤️

I know everyone says this, but the HIGHLIGHT OF MY WEED DAYS IS LISTENING TO YOUR PODCAST THEN WATCHING THE VIDEO VERSION😩😩😩 i love you, and your videos❤️ you got a life time supporter right her🫶🏼

I love that you have your name twin squish!! 🥺💗

This is goood story telling, choosing when to tell each piece of information so that it keeps the suspense up isn’t easy! You should write a book!

Honestly, I don't understand how someone committing a crime like that could be so dumb as to how she made up her story. Like, obviously, she shouldn't have done it and it was a horrible thing she did, but if she wanted to get away with it, she should have thought a little longer about all the inconsistencies.

Just came across this ch and sub’d. Loving the background.🥰 It couldn’t be more mixed! 😂👍🏾💕

LOVE YOU!!

Love your content ❤️ hailey, can you talk about the case about the Duggar family ? Very interesting family with dark secrets

hailey!!! love the new setup and you’re doing so great! but i really miss it when you tell the stories while doing your makeup. it was more visually stimulating and helped me sit through the whole video, felt more casual and personal.

You have a fascinating, beautiful voice, Love.

New~ subscriber ✨✨✨ You had me… from the moment you started talking! 🫶🏼👍🏻👌🏼. What a soothing voice, I can listen to you all day, God bless you. 🙏🏼💐🙋🏻‍♀️

Hailey makes great news on true crime and flashback stories. Keep it up. 🤚🙏❤💯

As someone who lives pretty close to this area all my life, I have never heard this story, but, I believe Keith might have got tired of it and told her she needs to leave (so she slept in the boy's room), he was done he couldn't deal with it anymore. She didn't like that, she's not used to rejections and killed him. I mean, to me, it sounds that simple, just on the outside looking in, but maybe she did it because she wanted money and said "NO". I mean, I think this world today is messed up, It's been messed up it's just not getting better.

I honestly preferred a lot more the make up videos, they were a lo more interactive and fun

omg I love her voice sm

I miss when you’d say SPOOKY SCARY SKELETONS ☹️

Your room is so bright and good vibesss 🌞

Girl, i’m also from Illinois!!! love your content 🥰🥰🥰

I'm from Cameron!! That really surprised me nothing ever happens in this small town.

i do miss the makeup a little bit, great narration, as always (:
