But not everyone agreed with them.

Keith's family, his own family, stood by Darlene completely.

They were adamant that the police had made a mistake in all of this, that she was being unfairly targeted, that the real killer was still out there somewhere.

They knew how much Darlene loved Keith.

To them, she was a devoted wife and mother, someone who lived for her husband and for their three boys.

So the idea that she could have shot him in cold blood in the same house where her children were sleeping just down the hall?

It was unthinkable.

There was no way that this was the reality.

So when she was arrested, the family did what they thought Keith would have wanted them to do.

They all rallied around her.

They scraped up whatever they could, and they posted her $50,000 bond.

That's how sure they were that she was innocent.

So just like that, Darlene was out of jail.

She was out on bond.

And it's so crazy because it was done so quickly that she was actually home in time to tuck her kids into bed that night, that very same night.

Which it's really hard to not feel for the Gentry family.

I mean, they had just lost their son.

They were now clinging to the one piece of stability that was left, believing that this was all just some sort of horrible mistake.

But the truth?

There was a lot more going on behind the scenes, things that even Keith's family had no idea about.
