I remember the first time I watched one of your videos Martin. You were fairly new to YT, but I was thoroughly impressed with your content compared to other "analytic" types of channels. It was clear this was going to be a special channel. You didn't rely on shock value, graphic photos or depictions. Instead, you showcased the incredible depth and breadth of your knowledge and experience. Your videos were/are so layered with information that they easily bear multiple viewings. Your teaching experience really showed in your detailed explanations on the foundations of communication, conversation and statement analysis and the tactics of propaganda. Your videos have only improved over time. Your presentation style is confident and fluid, your commentary on criminal cases is respectful to the victims and their families AND, we get to enjoy your dry humour and sharp wit when you unmask and breakdown entertainers and politicians. Your videos are a true pleasure to watch, keep up the great work!
Hear hear
I just started watching him today and I couldn’t agree more!
@@BowieBoyandMe I just found his channel today also. Am impressed……………so I subscribed.
well said!
I agree, I savor these meticulous videos, just excellent!
The thing I notice most about his behaviour is his totally lack of any emotion, he’s not angry, upset, distressed, worried or concerned about his family. He shows more emotion when someone says they like his T-shirt than he does about his missing family.
You're right. When I first saw the interview il9n t.v. I knew he was guilty. He didn't even *try* to be convincing.
He genuinely loves that T- shirt
@@gaysy1st I think if my partner and two small children weren’t at home, I had no idea where they were and my partner wasn’t responding to my messages I’d be worried, even on that first day.
@@gaysy1st --Especially since it would be the best friend who points out Shanann’s ‘every day shoes’ are on the front porch, her phone ‘that she’s on every day’ is still there and then the Diamond wedding ring is next to the bed. Major tipoffs Shanann did not leave on her own power. One of my favorite scenes was Nicki being behind Chris and the cop remarks on the unmade children’s beds ‘being normal’ and CHRIS says ‘yes’ while Nicki is shaking her head ‘No!’
What a creep he is😡
@@gaysy1st Since it was so out of character for Shannan to go AWOL and her best friend knew her so well.....and she knew that Christopher had lied to her on the phone about the kids going on a play date on their first day back at school.....and knowing how distraught Shannan was about Chris wanting a separation and saying he didn't want baby Nico......and all sorts of other things that had happened....Nickole had an intuition, especially when she found out that Shannan had missed her doctors appointment that morning, an important one for a scan....everyone else was distraught except Watts.
His mom said “I would have never thought these things would happen to him”. He annihilated his family. It didn’t”happen” to him. She can’t accept that she raised a monster.
His mother is a raging narcissist who showed a distinct lack of empathy towards his wife and children.
His mother is like my grandma, narcissistic af.
She can’t accept she raised a monster because SHE’S a monster.
Cause mommy is a monster herself!!
She’s a horrible malignant narcissist herself. Pushed him to murder going on for years how horrible Shannon is. Still blames Shannon.
The man is acting like he's giving a house tour on CRIBZ. Creepy, vile behavior from this monster. It's scary that they walk among us.
He just seems to have a smile on his face the entire time.
Yes, he cannot suppress it.
It’s contempt. It’s the one emotion people can’t hide. Amber Heard had the same smirk on her face when she thought people believed her.
Yes… it’s duper’s delight smile.
It’s called Dupers Delight. You see it all the time in narcissistic personalities. He thinks he’s getting one over on everyone and he cannot hide the pride in himself.
He's imagining his life with Nichole.😛😛😛
It's amazing how often he laughs or nearly laughs during those TV interviews.
Spooky
Duping delight. Soooo creepy.
Yep! He also seems to smirk a lot during the interview!
Burning off adrenaline and nervous energy, too.
absolutely shocking, he should be closer to tears and terrified and instead he is giggling.
@Shonii
I raised two daughters and a son.
If my kids were missing they may have had to medicate me.
In the interview and the interrogation, he uses the phrase 'I just wanted my daughters to barrel rush me" I wonder if that was a sick joke on his part, as they were in oil barrels. Always stood out to me.
Oh, creepy. I never thought of that.
He's not that smart.
@Andy V yeah, and he was in the oil industry. He didn't think of those oil tanks as barrels - they are too different.
I doubt it. Barrels of oil in the industry is a unit of measurement.
He put his daughters in tanks.
This makes me so mad ... how can that guy do that?? WOW.
Did his mother really say- In a million years I didn't think this could happen to "him?" "TO HIM" ??? He did it TO himself.
She is despicable!
I know right. He did it to Them. How could he do that to those two little girls. And the way he did it, let one little girl watch it happen to her little sister knowing that’s her fate. Their final hours must have been just so terrifying 😔
No, he did it to others!
She's a malicious narcissist.
One narcissist raising another narcissist.
Imagine living a life where you constantly have to mimic others for cognitive empathy and you're always reading a script and believing that others are going to buy your lies.
Exactly. It was easy for him to get rid of his entire family because he didn’t truly have feelings for them. He experienced lust, obviously, but he was definitely missing a sensitivity chip.
Psychopaths spend a lot of time studying people to see if they are buying their "stories". There are countless clips where he stares unblinkingly at police and others to see if they are on board with his narrative. With CW tho, he obviously can't "read the room" and didn't know/understand that his behaviour is incongruent with the words coming out of his mouth.
There are many of these people around, called narcissists....they have to fake empathy, have very little ability to self reflect or reason.
I found out my sister is a covert narcissist 2 yrs ago.
She's 51 and showed her true nature by trying to ruin a meeting I initiated.
She was working for the council and as they live for getting praise, and she had done something that went against our meeting.
She said that's the last time I do anything for you.
It was nothing to do with her or her dept.
She was doing it for attention from her bosses....not helping me.
I couldn't believe what she had done, and this was 3 days before the meeting.
She gave me silent treatment for 2 yrs and then punished me by not allowing her husband to help me occasionally, in the garden.
These narcissists can be just as dangerous as psychopaths.
No critical thinking, no responsibility and very much delusional thinking.
I didn't have a name for my sister's controlling behaviour but it's becoming more common due to women in work and having money.....and bullying.
She's raged at me because I know who she really is.
I have no contact.
@@jomassey4207 I'm sorry you had to deal with that. They tend to sneak in and before you know it they've already started scheming before anything has actually happened and are ready for any possible outcome that will benefit them.
@@christ3187 I've met at least 4 narcissists in my life but it's tough when you find out that your own sister hates you for no reason and revels in your pain.
I'm pain disabled with a surgery that went terribly wrong 22 yrs ago, never been able to work....in bed now with awful burning pain.
And yet she hates me and wants to punish me further.
I've always shown her love and support over our life and towards her boys, who are nearly adults but she never let them get to know the rest of the family...but it appears it was not real from her, but copied or cognitive empathy.
I've never been a victim or used my pain to hurt others.....but as soon as things don't play out as she envisions, she goes berserk and rages and screams and is very scarey.
I'm glad I found out now before my parents pass, as I know how terrible she'll be, especially around material possessions. I don't know why she's the way she is.....her school friends are all the same evil types...maybe she copied them a nd it stuck but M and d said we were very different as children.
That's all these narcs care about, money, status and supply of others praise and validation.
I couldn't give a shit.
He is an evil monster, describing his 2 little daughters, knowing how he has just horrifically murdered them, is beyond evil
The fact he can describe the endearing personality traits of his two little girls, without mustering even a sad look?... he is a block of ice, a monster.
He put them in an oil tank 💙🙏🏻💙
@@tamarathejudeochristianmedium Yep and having had a few hours to reflect on what he has done, he shows no remorse, no sadness, no regret but on the contrary, displays a very 'at ease with himself' demeanor... monsterous.
It is possible the kids were still alive at this point at the safe-house round the corner.
@@neilsun2521 I don't think so, because the police were watching CW. "Commander Egan requested the assistance of LPD SEU for surveillance operations of the male subject identified as the female's husband."
Plus, CW was able to put each girl's initial on the tank they were in and mark exactly where Shanann and Nico were buried.
@@lesjohn534 Not saying they were with CW - they could've been with NK and/or Jim at the house round the corner where the dog alerted to the scent of Bella and Celeste. (When NK asked CW if they eat Lucky Charms cereal via text.)
The interviewer asked him to describe his missing children. You would think he would describe what they physically look like so that people could spot them somewhere.
Good catch!
I believe he described their appearances to a detective over the phone. I have heard it...
@@stansmad due to the police requesting for that information.
Chris’s repeated use of the word “was” when referring to Shannan’s actions is (if you’ll forgive the pun) a dead giveaway. When talking about “not getting back to her people”, he says “it WAS (emphasis added) concerning”. An innocent person would usually say “IS concerning” as (presumably) the situation is dynamic, not historic.
Um. I would say that his use of the word "was" when directly referring to Shan'ann and the girls themselves was the give away. He kept describing Shanann and his two little girls in the past tense. Not only did Watts say Celeste "loved" a certain pair of shoes, but he said his now deceased four-year-old "was a girly girl".
I dont forgive the pun. I'm dead serious about that (hope you'll forgive the pun).
He was using past tense in all interviews with the media and the authorities. Dude is DUMB dumb.
Scary how he's moved through life and noone saw the evil inside him. This story is so haunting 😥
Maybe someone did. It's so scary.
His wife had said that his mother was evil, maybe she started to connect the dots and saw that he too was like his mother. Covert narcissists hate to be seen for what they are. Maybe that was the last straw moment…We’ll never know unfortunately because Chris would not admit to it. He still wants people to see him as a good guy, who is now a man of God and he just made one bad mistake, but he’s forgiven now by the Lord so we too should see him as a good person. 🤢
@@neige4221 maybe....😵👿
Well said. Yes, its disturbing that noone in his life had nothing bad about him. When actuality EVERYTHING is bad about him, when he murdered his lovely family.
He learned to mimic what he thought was normal behavior, very scary
His mother is so despicable. She never thought something like this could happen to him? Yeah, right, he's the victim here🙄
I would love for Martin to do a video on his vile mother Cindy. Her voice is grating.
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree
Yeah his mom is a total hag.
how many people do you know that would believe their child could do something like that? Does your mom think that about you?
@@shonii119 He confessed. And nothing 'happened to him'. He was the one who decided to kill his family. When you're the active part nothing 'happens' to you like you're remote-controlled. She's talking as if he had nothing to do with it. And the way she speaks about Shanann is full of disdain. Each time I hear her talk it makes me furious.
Most people would beside themselves with grief and horror.
Thanks Martin, excellent example of someone that, when his mouth moves, he's lying.
A true psycopath, unbelievable 😢
That’s not true at all. You might read up on them more.
He sure wasn’t expecting his neighbor to have a video of the lack of the wife and kids leaving and then him backing his truck into the garage …
Nate 👍
A textbook psychopath. He has absolutely no ability to feel remorse or sadness no matter how hard he tries to fake them. There is no cure, no treatment, nothing anyone can do to change that. He must be kept away from the public at all costs for all time.
His girlfriend probably thinking that could have been me!!!!! After we had kids and he found another home wrecker LIKE ME!!
@@googleuser4507you somehow missed Trump on your list.
Your absolutely correct. Chris is always about that new experience. Meaning the old one needs to die. If he hadn't of been caught here. He'd certainly kill the next woman too. Once he tired of her.
He isn't a textbook psychopath because they are extremely clever at masking what's going on. He isn't able to do that. He closely resembles a high functioning Sociopath more than your classic Psychopath.
He was an audiobook psychopath.
I have, like, no inclination where they're at 😮
Which doesn’t even make sense.
And I've heard true- crime youtubers unironically using that word that way ever since 😫
Ikr!? Did he mean “inkling”?
Exactly, and I've heard others in the same position parrot that howler! Horrible to be reminded of this case after so long. Also, Martin, after watching his sickening performance again, i wonder what you make of the fact that there are women who latch on to horrific killers once they're in prison? Probably better not to know, actually, it's so screwed up! 😮
At all.
What is particularly chilling is the placid, almost smiling expressions. Thank you, Martin, for your analysis.
Dupers delight
Yes. Great analysis!
Duping delight .
And that hairline... weird...
I can’t even imagine what Agent Tammy went through interviewing a child murderer while pregnant.
Oh, wow! She was pregnant? I didn't know that. I'm sure she was disgusted just talking with him but being pregnant probably made it worse. She was phenomenal though!!
I didn't know she was pregnant either. Wow. The interrogators did a great job.
Wow! Huge respect! I remember her saying she had a 4 yr old. That really must've turned her stomach sitting there with him, touching him...She IS a special agent🌹
Where did you find that information?
She must be very professional and competent at her job
"Chris can't show what he doesn't have- emotions."
He seems to be a psychopath, just mimicking natural feelings, but without the superficial charm often associated with them. His mother mentioned that she never thought this could happen to him, it happened because of him. Thanks Martin.. for posting this.
Yes I picked up on that ! His mother reveals exactly what she thinks and what she thinks is that shannan was an evil person for some reason! There is nothing in what she relates about shannan except a childish resentment towards her for making some funny remarks about her precious son ,that would lead us to believe that shannan was anything but how she appeared on social networks, loving, generous ,supportive, and kind ,but unfortunately for cindy she was very quick to see the aberrant dynamics of her relationship with chris. It's awful in thise interviews and in court where she says she forgives chris and how could this have happened to him as you say , it happened because of him. An apology to the Ruzeks would have been appropriate and a thank you to them for not asking for the death penalty , .I really think that family believe shannan was to blame for her own murder . Dreadful.
What is this crap about barrel rushing where has he dragged up this script, it just doesn't make any sense .
@@jillanderson1316 His mother going on television shows just how much she is like Chris. She should have been ashamed but there was no sense of that, instead she seemed to be trying to do reparations on the family’s image. Even if she had done that interview to apologize for her son’s actions, it would have been too soon. The fact that she did it as a defensive tool was just a slap on the face to Shannans’s family because it came off like she blamed her daughter in law for being the cause of it. It’s truly mind boggling how out of touch this woman is.
I think what we are seeing here is a man who has got it away with his misdeeds . He is as dumb as a rock and utterly void of humanity .
He is the poster child for duping delight... unbelievable
🤣😳
Bill agates too
TMI, but I have spent the past 9 months doing everything I can to keep my garbage can brother from literally murdering my 82 year old mother for her money. (My dad died and now she's vulnerable.)
Sometimes people do know that someone in their lives are dangerous; it's horrific that no one knew Watts would be. My heart breaks for Shannan, Celeste, Bella, and Nico and the people who love them.
Have you reported him to the police?
You must be so worried. Does she have an alarm bracelet or similar? I've had thoughts about my son-in-law k*lling me.
@@rt66vintage16 Oh my goodness, really? That's terrible. Do you have someone to turn to?
Wow, you poor thing. How on earth can you manage that situation long term?
I changed her locks, got him and his wife trespassed, and she has cameras and an alarm. I have talked to the sheriff and he will check on her from time to time, but there's nothing else he can do until my brother actually does something. I am lucky that his son will call me and her if he thinks his dad is headed towards her house. He is 7 hours away from her, and I am about 11, so I am grateful for my nephew's support. He hates his dad almost as much as I do. It's been a nightmare.
It's really kind of all of you to care. ❤
And what shocks me is his girlfriend is exactly the same. Emotionless. Hard. Laughing. And the same kind of language. I don't know how she got off the hook so easily, but maybe they needed her assistance to get him and he was the far more dangerous person to get taken down.
That’s the only time he showed emotion ‘want to protect her’, yeah over protecting his own children😏🙄
Yes, she's foul...I think if that whole scene between him and her got to play out, he would have sent her to meet her maker too.
Yes, both come across as cold fish. The mistress was looking up how much Amber Frey (Scott Peterson's mistress) got for her book and what her net worth was less than a week after the murders -- and before the family were even buried!
Shanann's family have come out publicly and stated that they're sure Kessinger had nothing to do with the murders.
I respect them and if anyone would know, it'd be them! I still can't shake off the feelings.
After watching hours of her interviews, his interviews, and the evidence. I can't shake the feeling she was somehow involved. If not involved in the murders. She gave him an ultimatum or pushed him in the direction of getting rid of his family. 😢
@@clearday9525Interesting. Wow, just wow.
It's terrible how someone can literally throw away their family for a new girl. They trusted him and loved him. Was it worth it? 😔😑
For a new girl and for the money from their life insurance.
No
Not rational thinking.
She could never be that beautiful or that good in the sheets to destroy the lives of your own baby girls. A God given conscience will haunt him the rest of his days, just as it should!
Men throw their families away in different ways. Everything from being emotionally unavailable to killing them and everything in between. It’s astonishing to me. My ex walked away and blames he doesn’t have a relationship with his now adult children. 🙄
Ooohhh glad you included at least once clip of his toxic and codependent narcissistic mother. I just started watching but really would love to see you do a deep dive on THAT piece of work (aka Chris Watts’ family and more notably his mom). Scary stuff.
I second this!! Please do the Cindy Watts interview!
There is already one video with his mom mentioned on CW playlist.
Why ameriloids keep misusing the word narcissist all the time
@@voramok5366 💯
@@voramok5366 tell me, my friend, how it was misused. Also, thank you for thinking I’m American. I’m not. Very creative moniker you’ve created for those beasts: non human individuals from the US of A. (They’re the only ones using/MISusing the term. Right?) And thanks for adding so very much to the discussion. Definitely worth my time to read it. Way to major on the minors. Well done! Carry on, my wayward son. They’ll be peace when you are done. And please for the love…be done.
Wow, he smiles when he says that Bella was just like him but goes back to serious when he says CC was just like her mother.
The goofy smile is sickening. He simulated being a caring husband and father. He was always heartless and uncaring.
After 5 years this case still fascinates me
6 years now 😔
Me too
He says he rushed home through lights. But the Cop at his house along with Nicole had to call twice to find out where he was
And told her not to the police, so glad she was such an amazingly loyal friend.
@@istj777 Yes, didn't he drop off clothing in a nearby dumpster before arriving home ? I believe it was briefly caught on video when the agent with the scent dogs had to hold them back . The animal was clearly trying to cross the street to a dumpster and obviously was picking up a scent ! If memory serves me right I think clothing belonging to the Watts family was later found. No expert on scent dogs but that lady seemed clueless !
His truck had a GPS so they could see exactly where he went, when he stopped and for how long. It was a company truck.
Liar like traitor trump 🤣🤬
@@dustysgirl1434👍👍
Most people in this situation look exhausted from stress
This is the thing-- aside from killing his pregnant wife, this reptile strangled his kids and stuffed their dead bodies thru an 8 inch opening to an oil tank. He makes my flesh crawl
I think i have read that he pushed the kids with his stomping foot down the thing....
He never mentions his wife's name. This monster has no emotion on his face . When you realise what he had just done ,he's blank . He's a monster . How could he kill his family .
The gist of his answers is like "Yeah, it's too bad; we can't find them; we've tried everything; there's nothing more to do," as in, "stop asking questions; go away; I've already given up, so why won't you?" The weirdest thing is that he thought he was getting away with it.
The mother is so nasty. She has a permanent snarl on her face. I bet he really hates her deeply. Too bad he took it out on another woman.
Well observed, Lisa6829.
They always do
What about all the verbal abuse SW gave him on videos?
@@pamelasmith6221I have seen the videos , there was no verbal abuse. Just because Chris’s fans say it’s happening just use your eyes and ears and a little commonsense, don’t just go along with what these haters are saying. Some of the most ridiculous hate comments they sprouted out about shanann was truely sickening. They all were boasting how close they were to Chris in prison like he was a celebrity and blaming everyone but Chris for the murders. I couldn’t believe how people got sucked into all that victim blaming all because of Chris mum and her flying monkeys.
@@pamelasmith6221 Please stop with that sort of nonsense. Couples argue, it’s normal. What he did is not normal in any universe.
Hes nothing more than a cardboard cut out. He’s actually smiling ( duping delight) at what he did.
His eyes are just dead inside. Eyes tell all.
Captain Quint (Robert Shaw) in the movie “Jaws”: “Sometimes the shark go away. Sometimes he wouldn’t go away. Sometimes that shark, he looks right into ya, right into your eyes. Y’know, the thing about a shark, he’s got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eyes. When he comes after ya, he doesn’t seem to be livin’ until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white, and then . . . .”
I swear like honestly I promise I have no idea at all
Lol
He has no "inclination " 🙄
‘My dad flew half way across the country’ about 30 seconds after the interrogators used exactly the same words.
When you have no real vocabulary for your feelings and observations, you borrow (hijack) the words of others to try to appear “normal”
@@Seeker0fTruth thats a very true statement !
I was married to someone exactly like this. He never showed normal emotions and had to watch others and mimic them. I knew he started seeing someone on the side when he started using phrases he'd never used in 10 years. When I saw his mask come off and the absolute hatred and rage I was afraid for my life. I was scared to sleep at night. I went grey rock until he " decided" we needed a divorce and changed the locks the day he left. During the marriage he often displayed sociopathic behaviour when I had serious medical issues. Unfortunately all our friends omly saw his happy friendly side and didn't believe he was actually a monster.
@@writeideagoing through this now although others believe me now about him. But it was tough in the beginning when they believed his false facade. The only person who excuses his behavior now is his dad. But his dad is an idiot.
@@blueseptember2174 I'm so sorry to hear you're going through this. And it's really awful when others don't believe you. My friends didn't and I had to walk away from very long friendships which was even more painful. I'm glad you have people that believe you though. And they are the ones you should stay close to.
Oh, such a melancholy tale! 💔 Many thanks to you, Martin, for handling it with such grace and finesse. I must say, because of your videos, I've come a long way in the art of communication, not for the sake of deception, but to truly immerse myself in conversations with others. 🌸
Same here. It’s really amazing what I’m learning from Martin.
Any normal dad who's children suddenly lost his children, runs around like a madman looking for them in a panic mode. No matter how introverted person is they wouldn't casually talk about T shirts.
Any grown man that says “like” that many times, is a red flag…
I think it's a distancing tactic, a way of making his statements less direct, i.e. it's not something, it's "like" something.
I have you noticed NK also does this in her interview with detectives does my head in like
There was an interview with a couple (that knew Shannan & Chris) that spoke like that as well, so I assumed it could be the way many speak in that area. I first noticed the 'like' speak in the late 80's- early 90's among rich kids in the upper East side. I've always been annoyed by it.
His eyes stayed cold like a reptile. His smiling was incongruent. He couldn't help himself. He gave himself away.
A monster. Can't bear to watch him lie.
A normal man would be freaking out and searching everywhere!
Driven by anxiety
Yes, I believe due to NA and her surprise visit his thoughts and plans were totally askew. His mind was racing because he didn't have the time to clean up his mess. I believe his constant staring at his phone was him trying to think of what to say or do next. Then the neighbor shows up discussing a camera at his house..... His scheme was falling apart fast ! 😮
Yup 👍
I can’t even compute this type of animal. It’s one of the most inhuman cases I have ever heard.
Agreed, I just can't even imagine that type of thinking. Him stuffing his pie hole with Pizza 🍕 in the middle of being questioned for a possible murder investigation of your own family blows my mind ! Their picture is strategically placed directly in front of him and he pushes it aside. 😮 When "Daddy Ron" enters the room to save the day he also scoots the photo away with his water bottle. How can any human being turn on and off emotions like this ?
I am amazed at the neighbor. HE knew he was acting wrong, nothing aligned. Thanks for the video. I noticed he uses them in past tense.
Peace🌎💕💝
Martin as much as I’ve enjoyed the analysis of Megan , Chris watts is fascinating, thanks for this one ❤✔️
Agreed!
And Martin has other ones on CW too! ☺️
Martin- love your channel! I would love to see you do more criminal interrogation analysis. I think you're the most insightful language expert I've ever listened to. I would love to get your thoughts on so many cold hearted, killers, and analysis of their language.
@Isabelle7553 I couldn't agree more! I just started this channel last night and have been binge watching. Mostly, the Chris Watts videos. I had heard of Martin before but it slipped my mind until a video was recommended. He is so in depth and is really outstanding!
I am French . I don’t know Shanann , her daughters , her parents but everyday since I discovered this case , my heart is suffering, broken . How was he able to kill them , to talk about them without emotion ? And for what ? People try to explain us that he was stressed by their financial issues , exhausted by the burden of his family !!! BS ! We all have very bad moments in our life . We don’t kill !!! A psychopath grownup by a psychopath mother . No emotion , no love , no empathy ! It’s stunning . The way how you help us to find the clues might be a part of our education system to escape the worst . Too much women and children in danger . In France , a woman dies every three days under the blows of her spouse .😢 We need to learn those behaviors .
How many Algerians and Libyans did your French ancestors kill? Hope your hear suffers from that, too.
What really brought tears for me when I first saw this on Dateline was that the second daughter saw him murder his first daughter and when he dumped her in the drum and came to the second daughter, she looked at him while strapped in the seat as to whether it was her turn to go? It was unbearable considering I have a little daughter and a younger son. What kind of monster could look in the eyes of an innocent child, let alone his own child and tell her that he was about to brutally kill her?
He said all the way to his worksite he was irritated that they were still alive. Unbelievable, the man is sick.
@@user-ed2od6lz7x Yes, it is just truly sickening
He said he "didn't know" if he answered "yes" when she asked that...which means he's lying about not remembering and probably did answer her yes it's your turn to die. What a demon from hell
@@jflsdknf Very true.
So sad watching the documentary on the family. Watching those little kids knowing what their father did to them. His complete lack of emotion or remorse is chilling. There are some people who when you look into their eyes, it’s like there is nothing there. To me not just the lack of emotion, but his eyes give me chills/scare me.
There's an infamous picture of cw attending a child's birthday party I believe was taken the day before the murders. You can clearly see the evil in his eyes.
He is laughing with eyes. She?
Just what I see empty eyes
Shark eyes...
I've seen lots of guys with eyes like that!😱
He had no "inclination(s)" to tell where he put their bodies. Thank you, Martin, for doing this video - and all of your videos. I always learn something from you!
Can't get enough of your analysis of this horrifying man...I'm so fascinated and repulsed at the same time....thank you Martin! I continually learn from you with each vid! 💖
It’s difficult to understand how he thought he would get away with it. Everyone knows the husband/boyfriend is always the first suspect. The girls‘ bodies might never have been recovered but Shannon‘s grave was only three foot deep and it was obvious from the aerial view that the earth had been disturbed. I‘m guessing Kissinger was far more heavily involved than has ever been revealed and he ended up confessing to protect her.
Agreed, I'm convinced she was in on it
I will never never never understand how a " parent" can kill their child and, or a spouse. Why can't they just walk away. And the way he disposed of their body's. My God. I hope he never has a peaceful night the rest of his life. Thanks Martin as always educational.
What you further cannot comprehend is that he doesnt feel remorse..hes a sociopath...
Interesting that Chris uses 'Ghost Town' which is a town or area with no remaining inhabitants, and the finality that they are never returning.
Martin, do any police departments use you for training? If not they should! I enjoy all your insights about the use of language. It’s fascinating. Plus you are clear and easy to follow, show great examples in clips w lots of comparisons to drive home your point. You’re an excellent teacher!!
Well, no, they wouldn't. They have their own behavioural science units, university programs, FBI programmes, detective sergeants, professors, and trainers, etc. Martin's background, I believe, is in media and advertising, and something else I can't quite remember. I think he actually does teach as a professor, though.
They use Peter Hyatt for statement analysis. He is the world’s best and I strongly encourage you to check out videos of him.
Like, I just want them back, like barrel rush me when I come home, like If they're out there, like I hope they're ok
Not only he doesn't show any emotion, but he also doesn't show a lot of intellectual prowess, he didn't think this through, probably in his delusion he was convinced that he would get away with it. Not the sharpest tool in the shed to say the least.
Nobody with that hairline and head could be smart.
6:26 his duper’s delight is so apparent with his smiling throughout the interview
They say Ted bundy tested 40 on the psychopath scale and Chris watts tested 41
😮😮😮😢
Probably Bundy was clever enough to fake it out a tiny bit. This guy is dumb as a box of bricks.
I can't understand killing the children, if he didn't want a divorce because he'd lose money that's horrible enough but 2 beautiful little girls is just so sad.
Ted Bundy is a monster but atleast he didn't kill his own flesh and blood
Wow. I used to say that Bundy was one of those that was born evil. Looks like Watts might be on that train, he just hid it better.
His family still supports him even though the autopsy report stated that cee cee's arm "degloved" (epidermis slid off her arm) when they pulled her out of the oil tank- just tragic
I was married to a man like Chris Watts. I only found out his true nature, when his mask fell off, after he decided to leave after 26 years, and had been having an affair with a much younger woman. He actually came to the family home and asked me to leave as soon as |I could as his girlfriend was getting impatient to move in. Wanted me and 3 children to just leave with no where to go. I did not leave, and he tried to run me over/threw hot coffee over me, and phoned to tell me that he wanted to kill me....Looking back at the marriage I noted the following...He had never initiated conversations, I had always done so, but had not realized this. He agreed with my opinion on anything, never disagreed, never argued, never seemed to have a point of view. If I told him I thought it was a bad idea for our son to go to a certain place, he would agree, but if I had told him that I thought it was a great idea for our son to go to a certain place, he would also have agreed. He had no mind of his own and left me to "run the family", which I feel Chris did with Shan Ann. I feel that my ex husband was stuck to me with a heavy duty huge magnet, until someone came along who offered him sex/attention, more than he was getting at home (three children) and then the magnet became the woman and he became stuck to her. Just one day after work, came home, phoned his brother and told him he had a new girlfriend, whilst myself and the children were all within earshot, then turned around after putting the phone down, and I asked him if it was true, what I had just heard. He replied "Yes, I knew you would be annoyed" then said " You are all dead to me, I have moved on" and left !!!!!!!!! Then tried to get rid of us all, so he could move his girlfriend into the family home......It has taken 10 years of therapy to get to a place where I can now understand what happened and have some peace.
Wow !!! I dated a guy with these traits . At first , I thought it was shyness or social anxiety . I caught on when he actually started having ( seemingly ) deep insight , into my behavior . He seemed to be parroting another person's opinions , though . Because when I attempted to take the conversations further than the initial few observations . He would get angry and stop talking . Like you , there was another woman . It was her words , he was blurting out . 😉 Luckily , it wasn't a years long situation . No children or shared funds . It was creepy and an eye opening experience , never the less . Now we both know that there are shells of human beings . Hopefully , we have learned to ID and avoid them , at all costs . Sometimes I still ponder if my self delusion was worse than his masquerade ... 🤔 Thanks for sharing your experience . 💞
@@cottoncandisandi6109 Yes, he sounds similar, could only parrot another's opinion. I wasted so many years and had his children !! Two are men now and have no empathy either.
@@tiggy4750 So glad you got away and your children! Very sorry for your loss and pain but so much better without him. I was involved with a real game player and jealous of many things he became very critical of, emotional abuse and trying very hard to convince me of his reality. That's what Chriss Watts did to Shan'ann for many weeks. his lies, denials and finally telling her he didn't want the new baby! He told the investigators that as he was killing her, the disgusting coward gave the final blow, he didn't love her anymore!
He saw himself as a perpetual victim of Shan'ann's so called control, instead of her burden of caring for a weak empty third child. He actually says that Ce-Ce was always yelling at you and throwing chicken nuggets at him! The absolute BEST documentary I have watched many times and referred it to many women is on YT, called "Watts, the Unglamourous Truth". It says it all about Chris Watts and who he really was all along. Again, thankfully you are free and have peace! GBY....
@@georgiegirl4103 Hello Georgiegirl, Thankyou for your message. I will watch the documentary you mention. You are correct when you mention that Chris was a weak empty third child. He seemed to want all the attention, as a small child would, and was jealous of the competition of his children. Had there been no children in the marriage ( as with mine), it possibly may have worked out (in a very dysfunctional way) as mine may have, if we had had no children..as he would have had all her attention, and could have been treated like a puppy dog...I suppose it stems from childhood, and his mother/my ex husbands mother, did not give them them love/adoration that they needed at a stage of their growth, and that need in them never matured. Who ever came along and offered them adoration, was likely to become the person their magnet fixed to, and myself/ShanAnn, could not fulfil that role anymore as too busy giving attention and love to the children, and also having the responsibility to make decisions for the family also, as these men lacked the ability to head the family...which leads also to feeling less respect to these men, as they are not *manning up* and protecting/leading the family... There is much to it, but it is ultimately very very sad. Thankyou for your message.x
26 years?! Geez Louise😢. That is just terrifying. You are a Phoenix for rising again❤
My God this is THE BEST UA-cam channel barr none. Educational with a dash of Martin's humor. You sir deserve many thanks and many more SUBS
Agreed, I’d be driving around no matter what police said to me.
I was shocked at the distancing he showed when he said. It’s alright to not connect with me, but to not connect with HER people. I found very strange. Are they not each others special people! He also shows a lot of duping delight. Huge amounts.
Because we know that 'her people' refers to her company & associates, he always thought that they were her priority. And in fact, she did make it look that way.
@@gaysy1st you are correct. Not the doting couple that she portrayed them to be though.
@@gaysy1stWell wasn't it lucky that one of her people rang the cops when she was missing and that murdering s.o.b.is in jail.where he belongs.
As always, very interesting. Wow, he showed more emotion in the short time talking about his shirt than in all the time talking about his family.
"Last night, I wanted that knock on the door..." Hypothetically, if they were still alive and came home, why the hell would they knock on their own door?? He's an absolute piece of garbage
So true 😭
Great point , cheers.
When Shanann and kids come home from Arizona, he says he saw her briefly and saw the kids on the monitor in the morning. If you are in a good relationship, I don’t care what time it is, if I come home from a trip you better give me a big hug and talk to me about the trip. And I’d hug my kids so hard!!!! He says “I saw them on the monitor in the morning “. 😳
Kids were not on the trip with her.
They were home.
Gone but not Forgotten, Rest Easy, Mom, CeCe, Bella and Nico
A new video from MD is always a treat
Martin, can you please go over Nicole Kessinger's interviews again, can't believe she was not involved, ping at Watts house, thanks
Oh yes, I would like that too
I could’ve never in a million years thought this could’ve happened to him..
TO HIM????????????🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Again a great analysis, Martin. Love your videos. Best regards from a fan in Germany!
Very interesting how lying even for liars causes stress so they do things to minimize it! Thank you for that insight.
It’s odd he doesn’t count himself as ‘one of her people’
I saw Scott Peterson do the lower voice breathy voice in his interview also, They almost sound identical.
His mother is pretty weird as well. She describes what he did, his actions, as something that "happened to him."
So did his sister.
Cindy Watts did not love the babies. How can she show no emotion talking about her murdered grandbabies?
😪
She tried to cause one to have an anaphylaxis reaction, by putting nuts on the table.
This is when the mother started to destabilize Shanann and Chris relationship.
Chris's mother caused alot of unecessary anguish.
She refused to go to their wedding.
She was so controlling, that Chris never developed his personality and I'm sure his bit on the side, talked him in to getting rid of his family....that's how messy Chris is inside.
He's an empty piece of a shell of a human.
His mother still blames Shanann.
That's never a good start.
Sounds a bit presumptuous. Maybe it's because nothing can be done to save the grandkids now but her son didn't even get a trial, nor was any crime scene investigation done by law enforcement.
The police did more than people think. For example, I used to hear some say that the truck wasn't examined. But both vehicles, the Lexus and the truck were examined. "The processing of the vehicles was completed by CBI Agent's David Yocum, Crime Scene Analyst and Kailee Henson,
Forensic Scientist... At the time of process, the evidence items collected from the two vehicles were assigned as Items #82-97. The suspect's
work truck was processed first, then the Lexus..."
@@lesjohn534 The CSI was cancelled as soon as they extracted the confession from CW. There was no CSI done at the Watts house (watch the bodycam where they cross-contaminate every item they bag). And NK's truck was sold the next day. They never interrogated NK despite her phone pinging there and her being on Nate's CCTV.
Saw this interview in real time. I knew immediately he was guilty. Everything rang false. His happy face while his whole family was supposedly missing. No.
"This wasn't like her," he said. If he thought she was Alive he should have said this ISN'T like her. He put her actions into past tense because he knew she was dead. He knew.
I saw it in real time and thought the same: this guy did it. It wasn’t the smile, because some people look like they’re smiling when they’re nervous-like a nervous tick-it was that his facial expression never changed. His voice never wavered when talking about his girls. He used the past tense when talking about his wife. His whole demeanor was very controlled. If you watch without sound, he could be talking to a neighbor about his lawn, or an upcoming homeowner’s association meeting-not his missing family.
It’s bad enough that he murdered his pregnant wife-yeah, he probably snapped when he killed her-but the way he murdered his sweet daughters was horrific, calculating and cold-hearted. Then he casually gave an interview, knowing what he’d done, never breaking down, his voice remaining steady. He’s a psycho.
@@smilinmoo Let’s not forget he went to work and probably actually like nothing happened. That is just crazy.
Same!!! I just had my daughter (I day after Cece turned 3) and immediately knew he did something to them! I was sobbing for those sweet girls 😞
I loved learning about 'affective prosody' from my favorite linguist pro,
Martin DeCoder!
I wonder what your take on the 'Burn after reading' letter from Roberta Laundrie to her murdering son Brian would be, hint hint...
❤
Oh yes! Me too. I think there is so much in there. More than most people understand.
That is another case that was just so horrific. So many missed opportunities to save that poor girl.
It’s hard to believe how there is a team Chris who think his wife was the biggest problem in their marriage. No matter what a relationship creates, no one deserves to be murdered, especially children. I just hope one day the full story comes out and if others were involved they too will be punished.
Scary stuff, what a monster
I've always found it telling that he is wearing flip flops in this interview. If my spouse and children were missing, you better believe that I would have socks and sneakers on so that i could be ready to walk all over town looking for them...
Calling it a “ghost” town is a ‘dead’’ giveaway..
As Shanann said, Chris has no game
For not having any game he landed some top shelf physicality attractive women. 😂😂😂
Your analyses are always so good. I get bored with a lot of other ones, but I stay enthralled with yours. Keep up the good work!
This monster's use of the word "like" really irritated me. Then when I listened to the mistress' interview, I noticed the same word being used over and over! As someone else pointed out, Chris is most definitely a parrot!
This is so interesting! It is very creepy the way he says I need to see them, while seeming to hold back a giggle or smile.
I know that you analyze language, but as a person who analyzes behavior, him smiling and almost appearing to laugh while he is saying that his family is missing would have made me take him in for questioning. He already made it clear that he was niether surprised nor upset that his family was gone.
He knows Kessinger's watching the interview. He was on the phone to her for 45 minutes immediately before this. I imagine he's kinda talking to her / performing for her. (As the discovery on his phone shows they were in constant contact.)
That's weird, because Oscar Pistorius was on the phone to his ex for 45 minutes, shortly before he shot Reeva.
@@gaysy1st Chris and NK also had a 1hr 50min facetime convo just before Shannan arrived home. Both claim they can't remember what they talked about. (And NK is on Nate's CCTV.)
Thank you for your videos. I followed this case closely for awhile. There are still unanswered questions and many coincidences with the mistress NK
Must have been SO hard for Shannan to live with Chris… no empathy at all.. I really see the lack in this video. You did a great job with his words, first time I ever completely see the narrcissist. Great job with the words from his mother, he has no personal normal thoughts
I noticed the hard swallows, and he consistently kept his mouth partially open…he’s likely very proud of his teeth and knows his smile is a ‘winning smile’. Nobody…no-body…when he said this it was very Freudian. I suspect he got away with quite a lot as a child using these same tactics on his mommy.
When he was arrested, he flexed his muscles and sucked his stomach in an effort "to impress" Agent Lee.
That man was NEVER worried for his family, we all saw it from the first interview, he can't even act like he's concerned.
