Looks Like The Darlie Routier House of Horrors, Reduced to $99,900!! Monday Morning House Porn

Share News:

Update: Apparently there are Routier homes all throughout Rowlett. This style of home and floorplan was popular with production builders. The actual Routier home is located on Eagle Drive. 

I think my eyes are out of whack: this Rowlett home was listed at $135,000 and is now $99,900? A reader thought this looked like the home where Darlie Lynn Routier murdered her sons Damon and Devon. (She was only convicted of murdering Damon.)

Looking back at that story, the Routiers owed up to $10,000 in back taxes and $12,000 in credit card debt, were two months behind on their mortgage payments, and had just been denied a $5,000 loan by their bank. That was in 1996. Sounds just about normal for 2011.

    This is not the house, the actual house has a sidewalk that extends to the street with three steps and has no extra partition as seen in this pic to the right.
