Annie Elise

But he didn't.

No response.

So that's when she went into the bedroom, and that's when she saw him lying there in bed, covered in blood.

Now on the surface, her story did make some sense.

It was tragic, it was horrifying, but it was believable enough.

At first, at least.

Still, it was odd, though, that she hadn't heard a thing.

I mean, no gunshot, no intruder, no commotion, nothing.

But what really made investigators pause was what Darlene did after calling 911.

Or, more accurately, what she didn't do.

She told them that she wasn't sure if Keith was dead or alive.

So because of that, she just stood there, just waiting for the paramedics.

And once again, yes, with grieving, with stress, with being under pressure, everybody reacts differently.

But remember, a key point in Darlene's story and her background is that she was a registered nurse.

She was someone who was trained to check vitals, perform CPR, to act fast when there's distress, when there's trauma, and when seconds, literally seconds, matter.

Yet by her own admission, she didn't even check for a pulse.

She didn't try to stop the bleeding.

She didn't do CPR.

She didn't do anything.

And when the detectives asked why, she said she was frozen, in shock, and that her only thought was protecting her three boys, making sure that they were safe if the intruder was still in the house.
