@CV 4Life you are soooo right about women being able to read people better than men. That’s why I whenever I did something stupid in my last relationship I just confessed apologetically and bought her a ring or necklace, or both depending on how bad I screwed up. Btw, never cheated.
uncomfortable silence is a social engineering tactic. People crack easy when it's awkward and say things they probably wouldn't have. I use it on my craigslist sales lol.
Good point. My Dad used to just stay quiet when he suspected I did something wrong, he knew that I would start to blab and make mistakes in my story, I always did.
Chris thought he had covered his tracks, so he probably wouldn't have done anything. The son would have helped her look or work with Chris to figure out where to go.
@@kathleensmith8336 The friend would've known Chris was involved and been asking more questions than she was with the officer being there. At some point Chris might've realized the one person who could put the timeline together and is trying to figure out exactly what happened was in his vicinity and dangerously close to uncovering the truth. He very well could've hurt her.
I think it was her son that found Shanaan’s cell phone hidden in the couch cushions. That was a huge piece of evidence, considering she lived on her phone and wouldn’t normally be without it. Then her purse was discovered in another room.
@@dwightrenfield2241: He had alerted the first policeman there that Chris was taking longer than needed to return to the house, and was changing his stories.
I felt te same way. I had to remind myself that They are all ready dead...And there is nothing we can do about it. But it broke My hart. Especialy When They showed the 2 little girls.
Her friend was so persistent about demanding that the police investigate immediately that he didn't have enough time to fully cover up his crime. Incredible friend
@demi glas, plus 4 a.lovely lady If you're at a late night party, you should be thankful to have someone who cares enough to check in on you when they feel something nay be wrong. A lot can go wrong at a late night party, and even a simple phone call from someone who's worried about you can give you a chance to escape a possible bad situation.
As sad as this all is, my favorite thing will always be watching neighbor Nate staring at Chris the whole time, letting Chris know that he knows he did something to his family. That’s a good man. He’s no fool.
Yes, Nicole and those neighbors weren't going to let this slide. Chris is such a monster, it's good to see good people in this case helping get justice for Shanann and her babies.
It’s unimaginable that a father wouldn’t be absolutely terrified with his two daughters missing. Marriage might be over but his kids missing should still be driving him insane.
Hayeon Cha I cant image how she reacted hearing that nor only were they murdered and dumped, but that it was their own father that did it 😔 watching her so worried and trying to find them was heart breaking :(
I'm so grateful I can watch a crime report where the friend is an actual friend. She knew her so well and she was an important part of her life, you're not supposed to lose your best friend like that...
And that was probably the simplest thing she knew about her friend. Bc she is pregnant she probably wasn't comfortable in any other shoes she had so she wore the same pair everyday. But this monster ofc didn't have any clue
Imagine if your wife and kids were genuinely missing. You'd demand that officer knock down the door, even if you were 30 seconds away. When you found out your neighbor had a camera, you'd race over to find any possible clue. You'd sprint to the pool. The fact CW doesn't know how to even pretend to act, shows what a monster he really is.
@@kooskansloos4834 even if he did sleep, he wouldn't be able to act like he cared. That's how these people are, they care so little they're willing to murder, you think a bit of sleep is gonna help him? No.
But if he was able to put on an Oscar worthy performance and make out like he really genuinely cared...would this make him or the situation better?...or worse?...or neither?@@Kratos-eg7ez
No. He didn’t deserve to be alive, but he was the one who attempted the murder. If they were in a car accident though, and he was the only one who lived, you could say that.
I disagree. I think its BECAUSE he knew them that he suspected Chris so quickly. He says multiple times "he is acting weird. He never talks! He is very introverted so for him to be over here telling you what he put in his truck over and over makes me kinda suspicious." I think anyone in this situation could tell that Chris was acting weird. I'm no body language expert or anything, but the man is acting strange. No real concern for his family. He doesnt mention his wife is even pregnant until a commercial pops up of a fetus. The way he keeps looking at the door as if he wants to run out of it. The bed sheets, the fact that he didnt let them inside immediately. All those little things make it pretty obvious in my opinion.
@@DeFausti Grammar police! @Lasherluke you're guilty! How dare you! You can't get away with this, your body language reveals you're guilty! You murdered the English language! 🤪
Good point! Well, thankfully CW is a terrible lier and does not know what to do. I was just wondering what would have happen if, and only IF, he was a terrific lier and a very good actor: I saw a dokumentary of the Green River Killer, and he DID pass the lie detector test. Yeah, thats right! It was dna that let him down 13 years later. Just imagine if CW had passed the test AND he did act perfectly as a broken husband who´s family were missing...?! The police did not have anything on him at this point and he was not a suspect. That would give him plenty of time to get rid of evidence (if any) that tied him to this crime. He gave himself away!
@@DozensOfViewers I think you are right! In fact they (the police) had NOTHING on him. They did suspect him alright, but it does not prove anything about murder. Still, they found nothing when they searched the house the same day! The K9 found nothing either. Everybody was clueless. The security camera just showed CW loading his truck and driving for work. And this was when he did not even have time to "fix the place". If he was smart, he could have comitted the perfect murders. But he is an idiot (thankfully) and he gave himself away: Misserable interview with televison, smirking and joking (He did not need to talk to the press) He failed the lie detector test horribly (He did not need to take that test) But NA crossed all his plans (whatever they were) when she called the cops!
Crazy how her friend noticed the shoes she wore everyday by the door, and Chris didn’t even think to OR have time to move them. Huge props to her friend for not letting him get away with this.
Me too. I can’t comprehend in my head how someone could be so cruel. Such beautiful babies and a sweet mother. Especially being a mom, it hurts knowing what those babies went through. 😔
Can we applaud and praise the police officer? He knocked on every window, asked more than a lot of questions, did whatever he could to bring Chris home. And also the neighbor Nate...he knows Chris's habits exactly - "he never backs his car into the garage". Amazing attention to details.
@@ChristinaJ01126 Honestly if you know your neighbor since years and you see how he is behaving he had no doubt it was him and also he had other elements who could make believe he was the murdered like he said to the cop he never gets out his tools of his garage and for once he did it I'm sure we would have all reacted like his neighbor... Cop just met the father so it was complicated for him to give him a judgment but his neighbor's wife and chris' wife were friends so they were really close.
@@chrrris_ I think she was referring to him not having enough time to cover his tracks being that the friend realized something was wrong only a few hours after he killed them..he killed them on the 13th and was arrested on the 15th. He probably didn't think he would get caught that fast. Thank God for her friend!
@@tyjavital6094 - It wouldn't have mattered anyways. He covered his tracks like a goddamn moron. There was no scenario under which he wouldn't have been caught.
Ok so he choked his wife to death in a rage while fighting. That's sadly the worst end in abusive relationships. But driving for an hour with his two girls alive and then killing them? That's a whole other level of psycho.
One begged him not to hurt her as she had just watched him kill the other. After practically sitting on their mother's dead body for the whole journey. And then he dumped their lifeless bodies in those oil tanks. Completely unimaginable.
i dont think, that there was a fight between him and his wife. she had no defense wounds. with high probability he has set her under drugs, and sofficated her with pillow while she was sleeping. the entire murder was planned it was no excident. in her blood were found remains of a drug.
@@vannhantran547 you must be very young then. There are all kinds of terrible people in the world. Where do you think horror movie writers get their ideas?
It needs to be well planned and sorted out before the act and that's really impossible in family murder cases. I think he's a monster but a very, very stupid monster.
Their bodies were still warm when he threw them in. What if CeCe and Bella weren't dead and they suffocated inside that toxic crude oil. Absolutely horrific.
The killer wasn’t a psychopath psychopaths are way to smart and they don’t show signs of stress or any emotion in general he was obviously trying way to hard to not look guilty
She just cut his free time by like third. Albeit she’s a goddamn hero for persisting and waiting all this time, but this dumbwit couldn’t have survived a day without getting caught.
listening is one of the best tools in cases like this. Often... involved people talk abit to much and has it hard to get their story straight in the long run.
I like that the officer actually STAYED THERE!! the police around here would have just said, oh shes not here, I knocked, no one answered! So shes not home, husband said she went to a friend's house nothing we can do! And the police would have left! So thank GOD they have police that care enough to wait and follow thru!
@@gardetto265 well people should really start considering how lucky they are for what they have. Try and consider the alternatives and how horrible some other people have to live in this world.... kids losing their parents, having to live in junkyards working all day for scraps, no one taking care of them. Or small kids being sold as sex slaves or tortured or beaten to death for no reason other than psychos having "fun".... this fucking idiot threw it all away, he had so much and he couldn't see it. Such wonderful kids... such an idiot.
When I was attacked by my ex in our duplex, our roommate (his best friend) pretended to be asleep and couldn't hear me while I screamed for help on the stairs. Our duplex neighbor heard me and ran over, busted thru the front door, & got me before I got my head bashed in. This is scary. I fear, with no real friends now and no close family nearby what if something were to happen and no one knew
This case is so sad. This man has such a beautiful family, two kids who thought he was the best dad ever and a wife who clearly loved and adored him. It breaks my heart to think of their last minutes on earth...
Don’t blame a pregnant married women for this monsters behavior. So many people have affairs and just divorce and move on, they don’t go on a murder spree and annihilate their family! There were SO many choices and options and murder is NOT one of them
@@xZippy I hate it when there was only 1 man in the house because the man could easily take out all the women and overpower them but if there was another guy there would be a chance the family would still be alive
Taking 45 minutes to get to the house from work, after telling the cop it would be around 5 minutes, with his family missing is the first big red flag! I think I have just got the jump on you there 😎.
And if a cop calls you and said your wife isn't coming to the door and you are 45min away knowing shes pregnant and diabetic wouldnt you be more concerned about her well being and tell the cop to kick in the door or break a window? Do whatever you need to get inside bc I'm 45min away. You wouldnt say ok I'll come home and open the door. That was the first red flag to me. He wasnt concerned with her well being when told shes not answering the door knowing she wasnt feeling good the night before.
@@gerrywhelan5761 he didnt take that long... He took about 10 after the cop called him. The friend and the other guy waited 45 mins. You got your facts mixed up.
This dude literally had everything someone could hope for, a large home, beautiful kids, a loving spouse, a pet and Disneyland trips and such. But nope that wasn't enough
Yes i thought that too. I just cant get my mind round what made him do it To his pregnancy wife and his two precious daughters. What must his kids last thoughts were is so so sad to imagine.may God bless all 3 of their souls forever be happy together.when you watch it all a 2nd time its much worse. Becsuse you know whats happening.his neighbor knew immediately. The devil must of gotten into him thats all i can think. Again thoughts and prayers to the two families affected especially shannons. Do you know what scares me people on the comments section putting tears of laughter emojis I share a world with these people.i wonder do they have kids? If they do imagine them being your parent putting terrible comments and faces. Very scary who we share our world with. God bless their souls Im not religious but Maybe i am deep down.
@@goldersgreen1147 the thought of leaving his family and start a new life with his affair can be the reason... Thats why he has no regrets in his actions because his fully committed to it. In my POV.
I knew he was the one who killed them right when the movie had started you can tell it was him he gave him self up when he said he left at work at 5 some and she came home at 2 like come on now you can tell it was him and his body language as well he was ro nervous and wasn’t showing any emotion about the situation
His wife was gorgeous, his girls were so sweet and happy. Why would you do this? If you wanted to be with another woman, why didn’t you just file for divorce? It makes no sense.
Chris knew how controlling Shan'ann was. Shan'ann would've made his life a living hell. Either way, Chris was going to live a death sentence with or without Shan'ann. No human being can possibly wrap their brain around how a father could murder his kids and think he could get away with it. I feel for Shan'ann's family. Chris' mother is living in LA LA land. She doesn't believe Chris murdered his wife and children. God help the world we live in.
And the officer hits him with the present tense, almost to show him what he should say. Chris: we were separating Officer: you are? Chris: we were selling the house Officer: now how’s that going?
15:36, 16:28 Can someone tell me what's going on in the aqua-blue room to the left of the screen. is it a tv screen? is there a video playing? who does the child in red belong to? Is it the friend's kid?
Yes, mayor red flag. Supposedly she left without her favorite shoes, and that was the first thing she told the police: "The shoes, she wears every single day are still there...." It was SO out of caracter for SW, that it HAD to be a red flag!
And a neighbor like that! Even though he was no friend of them, he knew that the way Chris was acting was strange. That attention to details was also a indicator that there was something else there.
This just makes me more sad about the fact that his daughters even made up a song about how their dad was their own hero. Little did they know, their own “hero” would be the one who betrayed them the most. Poor kids. RIP to Shannan, the two daughters and their unborn child.
I hope the song that Chris Watts' daughters made up about him comes back to him every night before he closes his eyes. That song should haunt him to the brink of insanity and beyond.
I think her friend quickly pulled her hand away from her phone because she didn't want to leave fingerprints because she knows. And on some level she wanted Chris to know she knew.
I think it was much more instinctual than that, she's panicking and just reached for his wife's property where he quickly interferes which alerts her that she's overstepping out of that panic, also adding to her increasing concern. I do think she's suspecting him way before that moment.
Erin Wyrick That’s right, also he could burn the bodies he was not prepared to be face to face with an official at home so early. Brave Nickole, Brave Nate and Nickole son
@@joepoe8616 yeah but can you imagine how much time would have passed if her friend didnt call the cops the very next day? My home security camera has the option to erase stored memory in every 12 hours, 4 days or 30 days. He could have done so many things to cover up better if he had more than just 1 day. That's a damn good friend she had.
I cannot fathom killers. Murdering your own babies and the woman who bore them? How in the world did Chris think he'd get away with his horrendous crimes? I'm guessing he is not only a psychopath but a narcissist. He somehow believed he was justified. Such a sad story, RIP Shanann, Bella and Cece.
@@Mster_Jnot true. Narcissism wasn’t well understood before, that’s why it wasn’t called out as much. Now that people are better educated on the harms of narcissism and narcissistic people, they’re better able to call them out. Sounds like maybe you were outed as well and you didn’t like it.
@@ALT-vz3jn I wasn’t outdated I’m just tired of people throwing the word around. In this case, Chris is obviously a narcissist. But my comment was meant in a general sense. It’s similar to depression. So many people today say they’re depressed after the smallest inconvenience happens to them. Most of the time, they’re probably just joking around, but it does get annoying. Same with people who claim to have OCD, while people with real ocd suffer in silence
that girl was a good friend. she was all over this from the beginning. I have friends but it would probably take them days to actually call the cops. lol
She was texting her the night before that Chris was going to leave her and she cried herself to sleep. Her friend was flying back in and when she didn't hear from her she knew something was up. Can't ignore those instincts you know? At the beginning of the video she's like "her car is here... Her car is in garage"... She's a good friend, I'm sad it was too late.
The sad thing is she probably feels like she could have done more or acted sooner even though she was amazing and none of this was her fault. She had no way to stop that evil man :(
He didn't also immediately yell out for his wife the minute he was inside. I remember that on the first Columbo episode. The killer didn't yell for his wife because he knew she was already dead.
Why why did he have to do all this? There was no reason to hurt any of them. You just get a divorce and move on. Just absolutely insane. They were such a cute little kids. Shannann 11:02 was a wonderful person.
At that point no one (except Chris) knew if Shannan and the girls were dead or alive. But yes, they all at one point had to act as if they weren't thinking he was hiding something
@@lostlameloop9923 there is definitely a moment where they realize something is wrong and Chris Watts isn't acting right. There's even a moment when Chris leaves the room where the neighbor tells the officer "I can tell you right now something is not right with him".
Ikr. While the security footage was playing they all knew he did something to them, and they all had to pretend they didn’t suspect anything. Must’ve been really nerve racking. Bless neighbour Nate.
She was also smart to bring her adult son with her just in case. She is the kind of friend everyone wants to have. I hope she watches this and reads these comments.
Honestly, she’s a great friend. Most people are missing for days before someone notices. Sad to think about tho ://. She reacted right away but it was still too late
@@arthurmorgan4546 lol exactly it was written all over his face! The evidence they are with her purse and phone! No friend that she took the kids for a playdate! Her car in the garage! His creepy Behavior rocking back and forth! No tears!etcetcetcetcetc...........
Yea I also decided to never marry and have no kids. Its the safest thing you can ever do. Im just hoping that the love of my life will accept it if I ever find that person.
Because of a concerned friend, a prepared neighbor & an officer genuinely invested, this crime was basically solved within an hour. Chris doesn't deserve the comfort of prison.
He planned it all out of course he should be electrified or given the lethal injection he shouldn't have the option to be in jail and join three hots and a cot. My opinion is if you intentionally kill someone then you should have the same done to you point blank js. This was no accident
No he deserves jail. Death is to easy. Solitary confinement for the rest of your life. Being told when to eat shit and sleep. Going insane slowly daily. No hope for anything
I found it extremely interesting how he didn't care, his entire demeanor was off. If your wife and more importantly your kids are missing, you wouldn't walk around and casually talk to people. The only moment he got nervous was when the neighbor said there was a security system recording everything, you can tell he only cared about getting caught. This guy is a complete monster, I literally had to cover my ears when he said he took the kids and dumped them alive into the oil tank.
It's heartbreaking, how could you hurt two beautiful Angels and their loving mother. It hurt to hear about this 2 years ago but It hurts more being a father now as well
@@lovely3097 it is there are couple of perfect crimes but it would never Come in public and we would Never know because then it wouldnt be a perfect Crime anymore
It also looked like her friend is the one who actually called the police too. She knew something wasn't right. She even noticed the shoes that his wife wore everyday. You could tell Chris wished she had minded her own business. What a great friend. I'm sorry for her loss. But I bet Shanann is looking down and saying thank you to her good friend. How sad
Such a sad thing about domestic violence cases...so many times the family and friends knew it was going to happen and it's so hard to turn a situation around :(
Wow, this was the best analysis ever.:) I learned so much and finally understand why the cop was observing Chris so much. … The friend and the neighbor deserves some type of an award from the police department for knowing in their gut that he had killed them.. They both knew right away… Thank you for doing amazing work:)))
Look at the little girl playing in the room on the left side several times in this video..how can we explain this.. between 15 minutes and again at 19 my
@John Jay seriously. But if you think about it, it only took him 2 HOURS to brutally choke/kill both of his kids and his pregnant wife, wrap them up sufficiently, load them up and take off... Had everything cleaned up enough where there was no sign of struggle or foul play... When you think about the cold heartedness and calculating and sheer evil that took to do that within 2 HOURS... It's just sickening and unreal. He had to have been planning it, just waiting for her to come home... Actually, he must've had the kids, she was dropped off alone, so he probably killed them first.

The elder girl saw her dad killing her younger sister and when he came back for her, she asked "R u going to do the same with me" and he said yes! How could he!! Can a human go this far for such a small thing!
It's crazy to think that if Chris really still cared enough about Shanann, it's likely he would have known and remembered her doctor's appointment and wait a day. Then he could have committed the murders and give himself enough time to dress up a story and alibi. Nicole was instrumental in setting forth Chris' reckoning.

This incredibly perceptive neighbour is watching Chris the entire time. He’s not watching the video, he’s watching Chris. He’s fully weirded out by Chris’ behaviour.
I should get a security system too it surely has it pros and cons but in this case it surely gave justice to the family members whose lives were taken and disposed off in a most inhumane way.
I knew he was guilty from his first news interview. I remember seeing it and even picking up that the news lady knew too. This cop knows and the neigh or def knows at this point.

Also, the officer did a GREAT job with uncomfortable silence, causing Chris to ramble/make more mistakes.
That's exactly what I thought. His presence of mind was key. Infact everyone there was on the same page and it's incredible.
go to 16:27 who is that littele girl in the back bedroom with the blue walls? why is she in this? is that a ghost?

As sad as this all is, my favorite thing will always be watching neighbor Nate staring at Chris the whole time, letting Chris know that he knows he did something to his family. That’s a good man. He’s no fool.
The neighbor was giving him the death stare lmao!!! I love it! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yep
Very true. Good observation.
Yes, Nicole and those neighbors weren't going to let this slide. Chris is such a monster, it's good to see good people in this case helping get justice for Shanann and her babies.
horrible as this is, the neighbor impresses me with that he knew right away and told the cop as soon as he could - "he's not acting right."
He is soooooo busy trying to look not guilty, that he forgot to show any type of emotion
Accurate as hell
Which makes him look guilty
Yupppp
Zacatecana B yeah that’s so true
It’s unimaginable that a father wouldn’t be absolutely terrified with his two daughters missing. Marriage might be over but his kids missing should still be driving him insane.
The way the wife's bestfriend was panicking is emotionally and physically hurting me.
Hayeon Cha I cant image how she reacted hearing that nor only were they murdered and dumped, but that it was their own father that did it 😔 watching her so worried and trying to find them was heart breaking :(
Kevin Durant calm down? So showing sadness for a pregnant mom and two children is an overreaction? You might wanna go get yourself checked out 🙄
@Kevin Durant uuh
how can a youtube vid physically hurt you?
@@ericduffy2270 HAHAHAH...I was so heartbroken that it was actually hurting my chest area.
Now that's a real friend. She knew he did something to her. "Her shoes she wears everyday are right by the front door"
Oh most definitely. Loyal and very observant. These people are important to have in life, cause they got your back.
I'm so grateful I can watch a crime report where the friend is an actual friend. She knew her so well and she was an important part of her life, you're not supposed to lose your best friend like that...
And that was probably the simplest thing she knew about her friend. Bc she is pregnant she probably wasn't comfortable in any other shoes she had so she wore the same pair everyday. But this monster ofc didn't have any clue
Thank god for her friend. Chris could have gotten away with it if she hadn't reacted so quickly for her friend.

Imagine if your wife and kids were genuinely missing. You'd demand that officer knock down the door, even if you were 30 seconds away. When you found out your neighbor had a camera, you'd race over to find any possible clue. You'd sprint to the pool.

Keep in mind he killed his own family a couple of hours before and he hadn't slept. How could he perform Oscar worthy?

@@DeFausti Grammer Nazi. Who cares?
I disagree. I think its BECAUSE he knew them that he suspected Chris so quickly. He says multiple times "he is acting weird. He never talks! He is very introverted so for him to be over here telling you what he put in his truck over and over makes me kinda suspicious." I think anyone in this situation could tell that Chris was acting weird. I'm no body language expert or anything, but the man is acting strange. No real concern for his family. He doesnt mention his wife is even pregnant until a commercial pops up of a fetus. The way he keeps looking at the door as if he wants to run out of it. The bed sheets, the fact that he didnt let them inside immediately. All those little things make it pretty obvious in my opinion.
He knew them well enough to know how weird Chris was acting & how strange it was to pull the truck into the driveway….he was right.
@@DeFausti Grammar police! @Lasherluke you're guilty! How dare you! You can't get away with this, your body language reveals you're guilty! You murdered the English language! 🤪

You right
Good point! Well, thankfully CW is a terrible lier and does not know what to do. I was just wondering what would have happen if, and only IF, he was a terrific lier and a very good actor: I saw a dokumentary of the Green River Killer, and he DID pass the lie detector test. Yeah, thats right! It was dna that let him down 13 years later. Just imagine if CW had passed the test AND he did act perfectly as a broken husband who´s family were missing...?!
The police did not have anything on him at this point and he was not a suspect. That would give him plenty of time to get rid of evidence (if any) that tied him to this crime. He gave himself away!
One of the most stupid murder ever ..how he evn think he cn gt away with ths lol
If it wasn’t for nosy Nichole he probably would have gotten away with it. He’d have had time to dispose of her car, purse, phone, etc.
@@DozensOfViewers I think you are right! In fact they (the police) had NOTHING on him. They did suspect him alright, but it does not prove anything about murder. Still, they found nothing when they searched the house the same day! The K9 found nothing either. Everybody was clueless. The security camera just showed CW loading his truck and driving for work. And this was when he did not even have time to "fix the place".
If he was smart, he could have comitted the perfect murders.
But he is an idiot (thankfully) and he gave himself away:
Misserable interview with televison, smirking and joking (He did not need to talk to the press)
He failed the lie detector test horribly (He did not need to take that test)
But NA crossed all his plans (whatever they were) when she called the cops!
Crazy how her friend noticed the shoes she wore everyday by the door, and Chris didn’t even think to OR have time to move them. Huge props to her friend for not letting him get away with this.

He planned the murders 6 weeks in advance.
i dont think, that there was a fight between him and his wife. she had no defense wounds. with high probability he has set her under drugs, and sofficated her with pillow while she was sleeping. the entire murder was planned it was no excident. in her blood were found remains of a drug.

listening is one of the best tools in cases like this. Often... involved people talk abit to much and has it hard to get their story straight in the long run.

Taking 45 minutes to get to the house from work, after telling the cop it would be around 5 minutes, with his family missing is the first big red flag!
I think I have just got the jump on you there 😎.
And if a cop calls you and said your wife isn't coming to the door and you are 45min away knowing shes pregnant and diabetic wouldnt you be more concerned about her well being and tell the cop to kick in the door or break a window? Do whatever you need to get inside bc I'm 45min away. You wouldnt say ok I'll come home and open the door. That was the first red flag to me. He wasnt concerned with her well being when told shes not answering the door knowing she wasnt feeling good the night before.

If I was murdered my ROOMMATES wouldn’t know until the smell of my body stunk up the apartment
@@Zzzk23 lol !
That’s hysterical
Why why did he have to do all this? There was no reason to hurt any of them. You just get a divorce and move on. Just absolutely insane. They were such a cute little kids. Shannann 11:02 was a wonderful person.
Sick. He had such a beautiful family smh
Teraz już wiemy że pomogła mu kochanka NK.
Everyone needs a girlfriend like Nicole! She reacted fast and concerned ...
I was thinking the same thing! She's a real one
Right?! And not to mention how supportive her friends son was!
Thought of the same thing.
He didn't even try to find her or call out her name
*friend
Chris was guilty just from his energy alone. If my wife and two daughters go missing EVERYTHING is getting torn down just to find them.

Just one sentence from the neighbour caught him, "He never back's his truck up to the house" this was vital.
I think the cop was on to him well before that
@@notsocooldude7720 yea, when he turned up
I wouldn't say that's vital. Not really evidence since the officer would just have to take his word for it.
Jamie Koering Right 😂
@Jamie Koering Backs need rubs,bitches backs cuz I'm not gay.
The neighbor was on point and didn't fall for Chris' BS for one second
All I could think was that they all knew they were in the room with a murderer and had to play it cool. Like...wow.
At that point no one (except Chris) knew if Shannan and the girls were dead or alive. But yes, they all at one point had to act as if they weren't thinking he was hiding something
I don't think the first thought of them were he is a killer, because thats pretty uncommon, especialy within his own family and no real reasoning.
@@lostlameloop9923 there is definitely a moment where they realize something is wrong and Chris Watts isn't acting right.
There's even a moment when Chris leaves the room where the neighbor tells the officer "I can tell you right now something is not right with him".
Ikr. While the security footage was playing they all knew he did something to them, and they all had to pretend they didn’t suspect anything. Must’ve been really nerve racking. Bless neighbour Nate.
amanda atha lol hope you have a great day! 👍🏼
Her friend totally screwed his plans. Good on you Nicole
@@ActualityOfThought thank goodness he didnt because some monster like him wouldnt be locked up. and she pretty much is the reason they caught him
She was also smart to bring her adult son with her just in case. She is the kind of friend everyone wants to have. I hope she watches this and reads these comments.
Honestly, she’s a great friend. Most people are missing for days before someone notices. Sad to think about tho ://. She reacted right away but it was still too late
@@ActualityOfThought there’s a video where Chris glares at Nicole so angrily. He definitely would’ve killed her if the cops weren’t there.

Chris was like a 10 year old lying about who ate the chips
With cheeto dust all over his face and hands

Even though it’s been 5yrs I still don’t understand how a husband / father could be so evil to kill his wife and children 🤷♀️ it breaks my heart 💔🌺🌸🙏
Wife yes, kids no.
@@geoff873wife yes, kids yes
@@geoff873are you trolling or something. He killed his wife and kids. Stop defending his actions.
@@noellerobin9896exactly like he’s literally agreeing to what he did to his wife. So weird how some men are almost defending the degenerate
I pray to God that I don’t end up with someone like him one day.
Or a woman
so don't marry?
Paul Googol Bitch what?
Yea I also decided to never marry and have no kids. Its the safest thing you can ever do. Im just hoping that the love of my life will accept it if I ever find that person.
@@user-zj5jp8zc1j you can’t pray to the LORD if you act like that, swearing for not reason
Dude his neighbor is just staring at him like "you scumbag"
I read this just as the guy with the red shirt started rolling his sleeves
ShockCo Truth the knows stuff should asked the neighbors first about him just to have back up proof that he was a suspect
Because of a concerned friend, a prepared neighbor & an officer genuinely invested, this crime was basically solved within an hour. Chris doesn't deserve the comfort of prison.
Absolutely 💯
He doesn't deserve death either.
He planned it all out of course he should be electrified or given the lethal injection he shouldn't have the option to be in jail and join three hots and a cot. My opinion is if you intentionally kill someone then you should have the same done to you point blank js. This was no accident
an eye for an eye a tooth for tooth. death!!!!!
No he deserves jail. Death is to easy. Solitary confinement for the rest of your life. Being told when to eat shit and sleep. Going insane slowly daily. No hope for anything
I found it extremely interesting how he didn't care, his entire demeanor was off. If your wife and more importantly your kids are missing, you wouldn't walk around and casually talk to people. The only moment he got nervous was when the neighbor said there was a security system recording everything, you can tell he only cared about getting caught. This guy is a complete monster, I literally had to cover my ears when he said he took the kids and dumped them alive into the oil tank.
Can we Just take a moment to just say how good the officer dealt with the situation
They let this officer arrest him after he confessed 👌🏼
Yeah he’s a good egg.
the cuts from his cam to her recording in that same spot is haunting
Absolutely haunting
Agreed
i was just thinking that same thing
It's like them communicating from the beyond o0000oooo0000oooo 👻 👻 👻 ooooooooOoooOooo Chris I'm coming to gettttttt youuuuuuuuu
It's heartbreaking, how could you hurt two beautiful Angels and their loving mother. It hurt to hear about this 2 years ago but It hurts more being a father now as well
Chris is proof not all psychopaths are intelligent
they think they are
So there is intelligent psychopaths?
💀 love this
There’s no perfect crime
@@lovely3097 it is there are couple of perfect crimes but it would never Come in public and we would Never know because then it wouldnt be a perfect Crime anymore
When he first sees the security footage and he leans back and looks at the door he's thinking about running😂
The way these neighbours came forward to try find the victims explains how important it is to have good neighbours.
I'm sure Chris would disagree with you.
Leroux, lol
adam yare yes! How fortunate she was to have people who cared for her so much, they helped the police get this twat!!
You mean, nosy, prying, busy-bodies?
Yeah. They clearly care which is always good.
Props to her friend who noticed immediately something was wrong
Yes! Yes! And yes!!👊. She must have been a great friend to have such a great group around her!! I agree!👊
i KNOW RIGHT?! - I want a friend like her! A few times in the video you could see Chris look at her like Why don't you just disappear!!
It also looked like her friend is the one who actually called the police too. She knew something wasn't right. She even noticed the shoes that his wife wore everyday. You could tell Chris wished she had minded her own business. What a great friend. I'm sorry for her loss. But I bet Shanann is looking down and saying thank you to her good friend. How sad
Such a sad thing about domestic violence cases...so many times the family and friends knew it was going to happen and it's so hard to turn a situation around :(
The neighbor is a gangster.
He’s lowkey a hero.
Lowkey? Mans saved the whole case and so did that lady and woman.
@@g2nelson15 true
@@g2nelson15 *high key
So were they a hero or a gangster?
@@mayonice2533 They meant 'gangster' as a compliment. Kinda like saying something is 'bad.' It can mean 'horrible' or 'wonderful.'.
Wow, this was the best analysis ever.:) I learned so much and finally understand why the cop was observing Chris so much. … The friend and the neighbor deserves some type of an award from the police department for knowing in their gut that he had killed them.. They both knew right away… Thank you for doing amazing work:)))
Look at the little girl playing in the room on the left side several times in this video..how can we explain this.. between 15 minutes and again at 19 my
I bet Chris didn’t even think there’d be cops at his house that quick.
Oh man the look on his face when he’s at the neighbours watching that footage was priceless.
@John Jay seriously. But if you think about it, it only took him 2 HOURS
to brutally choke/kill both of his kids and his pregnant wife, wrap them up sufficiently, load them up and take off... Had everything cleaned up enough where there was no sign of struggle or foul play... When you think about the cold heartedness and calculating and sheer evil that took to do that within 2 HOURS... It's just sickening and unreal.
He had to have been planning it, just waiting for her to come home... Actually, he must've had the kids, she was dropped off alone, so he probably killed them first. Ugh it gives me goosebumps. There's killing /murdering someone, and then there's murdering your own children and wife!

@@heatherkoolaid I saw a video of the police asking how he killed them and he said he suffocated Shanann at the house, and then put his two living daughters in the truck, and then at the site he disposed of the bodies, he strangled them.
I love this torture

what kind of being are you if you kill your pregnant wife and two daughters... rip
Andréas Eliasson you’re a psychopath
Andréas Eliasson he was a legit psychopath
@@luccasconceicao5026 Killing someone does not make you a psychopath, fact. You have got to remember we are just animals and animals kill. Just because we build a society for ourselves and invent laws to keep everyone in check does not mean we are not animals anymore. We are and always will be killers, whether or not you act upon your natural instinct is solely up to you. Most of us do not, but some of us do. We kill billions of other animals everyday, does that make us psychopaths? we protect what means to us most because we are arrogant and ignorant, does anyone care for the rest of the animal kingdom? NO. So we are all psychopaths in your book, but we only protect our very own species for some reason, any other animal is far game.
@ILLEGAL RACERS if your not a phychopath why would you kill someone you love, we kill animals for food
Disgusted Me -_ - WTF
I can’t even imagine what his daughters were thinking when they realized their father, someone they love and look up to, was going to kill them. How terrified and confused they must have felt.
He smothered them with a pillow, and one of their final words was: “No Daddy.”
Moe yes, I read that in some of the notes that were taken from one of the interviews done with Chris. Disgusting, sic and evil man. Just makes me want to vomit. 🤮
😔
My heart hurts so bad. Why do people do this. Like why? 💔💔💔
The elder girl saw her dad killing her younger sister and when he came back for her, she asked "R u going to do the same with me" and he said yes! How could he!! Can a human go this far for such a small thing!
It's crazy to think that if Chris really still cared enough about Shanann, it's likely he would have known and remembered her doctor's appointment and wait a day. Then he could have committed the murders and give himself enough time to dress up a story and alibi.
Nicole was instrumental in setting forth Chris' reckoning.
The little clips in between of the family absolutely breaks my heart
Fr I almost teared up
@@Ilykillll same! It also makes my stomach hurt
I found them more of an insult to injury.
Makes this video seem more like a murder mystery drama than an analysis of Chris
Lol
Same this guy is truly a monster who in the right mind would kill their family
I will never understand how a parent could kill their child. Three children dead. 😞
Yes, and one woman also dead.
@@annb1855 true Rest In Peace 🕊 but at the same time they were going through a divorce. It’s terrible he’s a monster. But how do you kill your child 👶, that’s ur baby and your life.
@@annb1855 Not trying to say killing ur wife is ever good. I’m still confused why they couldn’t just give him the death penalty
@@EazyIbraif he didn't get the death penalty for triple hommicide then its because its a state where its illegal.
The death penalty is not universal, its legality varies from state to state.
Some believe it is true justice, others believe it makes the state no better the ones put to the chair.
This is why the death penalty is a hottly debated topic.
It's because he deshumanize them. He stopped looking them has his children but as obstacles on his life ( or maybe something else, I really don't know his thinking ). Making it like he was doing something that had to be done to the greater good.
The fact that Chris would speak in past tense while referring to his kids and wife is a dead giveaway too. Anyone else catch onto that?
Dead giveaway, no pun intended
Yeah someone else in the comments realized
@@liebling4069 criminals unintentionally do it all the time in interrogations Period. He had no chance of getting away with this. Her purse and phone were in the house and her car was there for one. That right there is a big red flag that she never left that house alive

Hats off to the clever officer here, Definitely awesome Police work here. He should be commended
He did amazing. Quite professional
Yes agreed! 👍🏻
I think also the initial statements from the wife's friend played a role. She dropped some heavy hints
Krowman84
Im sure the guy was a great officer, don;t misunderstand me here... But frankly? My cousin Johnny the Pollack who thinks the way NASA can land on the sun one day is to go at night could have cracked this case! Motive Means Opportunity all align, and the footage, and the fact that he cannot even seem concerned. But as the narrater says: that body language.
dsimon33871 Oh yeah I definitely agree , my 4 year old could have guessed CW was involved! I guess what I’m most thankful for is that the officer was wearing a bodycam!
Nickole is the best friend everyone should have and Nate is the neighbor everyone should have. They are absolute heroes...
As Soon as the cop mentioned "marital issues", you know the cop was thinking "this guy murdered his wife"
Lol my dumbass read the "marital issue" as material issue .... I was legit thinking about what it mean for a min
Did he also say “We WERE going to separate?” Hmmm
@@dawnster711 , lol, did he?? I'm going have to watch it again to see😁. If he did, he was speaking in past tense.
They usually think that regardless. It's almost always the husband or a close friend/family member.
or that she took the kids and ran
This incredibly perceptive neighbour is watching Chris the entire time. He’s not watching the video, he’s watching Chris. He’s fully weirded out by Chris’ behaviour.
I should get a security system too it surely has it pros and cons but in this case it surely gave justice to the family members whose lives were taken and disposed off in a most inhumane way.
julie k that and the polygraph, he failed the polygraph at an insanely bad score
30:19 lol
julie k What’s the cons of a security system..?
I knew he was guilty from his first news interview. I remember seeing it and even picking up that the news lady knew too. This cop knows and the neigh or def knows at this point.
Nikole was the main reason this was solved so quickly. She was relentless about finding her friend. She knew his story stunk to high heaven.
Give credit to the neighbor Nate too! He was onto Chris and the video footage provided a lot of evidence
Agree, the reason this case was solved so quickly was mainly because of Sha'nans close friend Nicole, her family and the neighbour Nate's cctv footage. Looks like his girlfriend got away scot free🏃
@@sosweet.smileysmiley8911why wouldn’t the girlfriend get away scot-free? She had nothing to do with the murders. Chris told her he was separated from his wife. The girlfriend even reached out to police herself (and let them search her phone) when she saw on the news that Chris’s missing wife was pregnant.
@@sosweet.smileysmiley8911 Christ Almighty, His girlfriend (mistress) went to the police and provided evidence to help the case. How the fck is that getting away scott free 😂😂😂.
