As someone with 15 years clean and with too many interactions with law enforcement, THAT is my favourite moment. I’m so glad other folks picked up on that. Thank you for sharing that, now I know it’s not just me imagination. BTW Shaik has personality, that beats the crap out of all the click-bait out there.
Yup, same thing with me. Watching a police officer knocking on the sliding glass door in an attempt to locate a missing family. Then editing in a video of Bella, one of the missing children, spraying water on the glass laughing her little heart out and turning it on Mom. This man is a monster. As a Father of 7 I couldn't imagine my life without my children in it. These kids deserved a better Father than the one they were unfortunately born to.
Though I'm aware of this from the previous videos, I just read your comment as it happened the first time in this particular video. And I've always felt the same. It's like how I'd imagine a 6th sense to work. Such an odd, sad feeling.
I honestly cannot stand it when the Cops are leaving and they give Chris a card from the police station to call if anything comes up and Chris goes “sweet”. The man is a monster.
Like the FBI, I think they knew from the very beginning that he was guilty. They were just playing along in order to get him to confess, and when he confessed I bet they were more than happy to arrest him.
I noticed that too. The man is so dumb that he can't see how dumb he is, which in turn makes him even dumber. Chris Watts' 2 brain cells: Yeah this is how a man pretending to be a concerned husband reacts to being given a card by a cop trying to find my family... "sweet". It's astounding that he lasted this long in life without accidentally killing himself out of stupidity.
Just can't figure out how he thought slaughtering his whole family was a good idea.. I mean did he really think he could get away with this God awful crime?
@@chrisw7188 so murder is better then paying alimony for your kids to live and survive ????I mean I sort of get it but fuck man he ain't had to do all that shit putting them in oil tanks
He definitely didn't want to pay child support and alimony. Shannan would've been making plenty of money to cover the kids and then herself for 18 years while Chris would barely have enough money to buy groceries. Not condoning his actions at all
the way that her friend Nichole waited for her to go into her house to make sure she gets in safe on their camera, is a truly a great genuine friend. condolences to her and Shanann’s family ❤️
I had forgotten that he was the first one to go up to Officer Coonrod, greeting him and saying "Do you remember me?" Wonder how he already knew the officer? Maybe from a school program or something?
This was a thought of mine weeks ago. I hope my 17 year old wld react this way and nt be detached. He provided a lot of details when he could. Reintroduced himself as a man would before his mother. Salute and Sending Blessings overflowed to these two,this cop, and the neighbor. And i still dont believe he is tellin the complete truth.
The friend was panicked, you can tell she got bad vibes from this guy. I think the friend blew this up way sooner than he expected. He thought that he’d have more time to set the stage.
Yep Chris was too dumb to realize Shannan had an amazing friend and she had a doctor's appointment to check on her unborn son and her friend was gonna accompany her to that appointment and Shannan wouldn't miss an appointment nor would she not call her friend at least to say she rescheduled it
Thank God for Shanann's neighbour Nate and friend Nickole, they weren't fooled by Chris Watts' passive, 'harmless geek' act and knew instinctively he was behind his family's disappearance. It's obviously a tragedy, but I have to laugh at the fact smartass thought he'd get away with murdering his family so easily - but within hours of killing them, his house the crime scene, was crawling with cops and he was struggling hard not to shit himself!
He said that his wife saying "You'll never see the kids" prompted him to killing her. So tell me why did he kill the kids too?? He makes no sense and is a terrible liar!
He only said that to act like he just snapped and killed her out of rage. But no, this was a planned, pre-meditated murder that he had a week to think about when Shanann was gone. He already planned to kill her when she came home that night. He even sent a picture of a doll underneath a sheet, that’s what was on his mind the whole time was how to get away with murder
Oh for sure. Without her bringing attention to her disappearance early on, it would have been much easier for him to flee and/or for her and those poor babies to never be found.
*The fact that Sha’nanns friend Nicole had to go through something of this magnitude and now just recently finding out she’s battling breast cancer it’s truly heartbreaking*
@@brooklyn__________ *im not sure I know that she has a UA-cam channel and posts videos somewhat regularly where she talks about losing Sha’nann and battling cancer which is how I found out about it*
Seriously, the good Nicole and Nate honestly... just... I can’t even express. The neighbour instantly clocking the fact he wasn’t acting right, and actually saying that to the police?! Star, absolute star. And the juxtaposition of Chris vs (the good) Nicole... really apparent. The dead-eyed sociopathic narcissist versus the friend truly fraught with worry, panicking, frayed nerves. Her dispair is almost palpable. We all need a Nicole in our lives and every Chris Watts needs a Nate.
Nate is on the ball...Lot smarter than he Looks...Can't judge a book by its cover...Just a good "OLE" really smart Man(boy) & Nicole Is a Momma Bear!!! These people were ready to roll from the get-go...Nate had him cold on that Tape!
Let’s not forget Chris’s mom. 🙄 there’s tapes of their phone conversation between mom and Chris and the mom says “we know how shannan was” basically justifying him killing Shan. She’s just as evil as her son
the dad is horrible too, on the recording of them talking while he is in prison before he confessed, the dad is laughing constantly and talking about sports the whole time. but neither of them murdered anyone so they aren't 'just as evil'.
@@commandingsteel he was a narcissist and was already crazy. I think he actually liked being posted on instagram because he liked any bit of praise he could get for looking like the perfect dad
One of the biggest things that people seem to struggle with is that they don’t understand how Chris Watts just stopped loving his family. The thing is, he never did love them or anyone else. He doesn’t know what love feels like, he’s not capable of it.
Everyone did a remarkable job. The friend who called the police, the responding officer who recognized there was a problem early, the detective who took it serious, the neighbor who got involved, and the department doing a clean interrogation.
Yep that's all the idiot had to do, leave... I'm not proud of it but I had a few affairs in my marriage and as much as I thought I liked it there was no way in HELL I could have ever conceived to strangle my wife and kid's... I have been coming back to this Chris Watts Bulls $@#t since he first did it.... I'm just so intrigued how he could have done it... What must it have sounded like inside his head when he murdered them... I imagine it was bell ringing, horns blowing etc
So what you're saying is when people do what they're supposed to do we have a good system, but whenbthey don't do what they're supposed to do we blame the system as if it's broken?
For absolutely NOTHING!! he was trying to cover his tracks immediately after, and was on edge the couple of hours he had at work before Nickole was at his front door. He’s an idiot!!!
Imagine being a kid, imagine thinking your dad loves you and is going to protect you no matter what and then all the sudden you witness your dad taking your sisters life, and then your next. I couldn’t imagined what those poor babies were thinking and it really breaks my heart trying to. God be with those little angels.
@@danielle4926 he was a psychopath. psychopaths don't feel sympathy towards others, but he had a "reasoning" behind this murder, so that he would go with his girlfriend. but he chose to kill the family instead of getting divorced with her. sick people...
Thinking about the clip where one of the girls are singing “My daddy is a hero, he helps me grow up strong...”, poor girl didn’t know that her dad would go from being her hero to being her murderer 😢🙈
@Joshua Hammond , You may have issues with deities but why shove your beliefs? One human is being kind in this shit storm of events. Kind of like insult to injury... by chance are you related to the Watts?
Have to commend the officer who responded to the scene. Did his due diligence...went to all possible entrance/access points, verified their integrity and made attempts at each point to ID himself and investigate anything that would've given him PC. Excellent work officer...he's probably a Detective by now.
I agree ☝️. That Officer had his eye on Chris’s body language and KNEW that he was acting strange! I hope that Officer is a Detective by now. The neighbor was amazing too!
@Jonny B You'd be surprised at how often pregnant women suffer violence at the hands of their significant other. Thus the reason why the cop was being careful, observant, and persevering throughout his questioning of CW. ~ Anastacia in Cleveland
Having done the job myself- I agree. I found a woman laying on her bathroom floor after falling in the shower doing that exact same search. In my case, her car was in the shop so it would have been easy to write it off as "she's not home" but after 20 minutes of knocking, yelling, going to each door and window- I heard the faint sound of water running- the woman had broken her hip after falling and had been laying there nearly 3 straight days- she had hypothermia (part of her was laying in the walk-in shower). It's crucial during a well-being check that you take your good sweet time to CAREFULLY check all aspects of the exterior.
"I don't think I moved until my knees were on her arms or anything." I think that is EXACTLY what he did! He was planning on using her phone to text everybody back that morning, but Shanann got him by changing the code! You could tell he was like, "Why didn't I think of the baby's due date?" He was so mad he didn't know that code!!! He didn't give a damn about the baby so it never crossed his mind. Great analysis, Derek!
Nice spotting yeah she was on too it sad though that means she knew something was not right she may have known more than we know and he knew it maybe he was about to lose everything they may have argued before she left on her bisness meet that gave him time to plan the murder (definitely premeditated murder). all so he could dip his sausage in a different sauce
Was it just me or was the neighbor focusing solely on Watts as he cued up the video? Probably because he'd viewed it a couple of times already...but even his body/shoulders seem to be squared up at Watts. This neighbor knew something was up right away.
Wasn't there another neighbor who said they'd have screaming matches with each other and would argue Alot? I wonder if this is the same neighbor and that's why he immediately suspected him and watched the tapes
@@CindyDGAFbruhh it was the same neighbor but Nate actually retracted his statement. He said, they didn’t fight anymore then a normal couple and he exaggerated it. Especially them screaming at each other. 🤷🏼♀️
just the neighbors and her friend Nicole framed him right before the cops ! Neighbors are scary, they know everything about the family habits ! but in this case it was a big help !
Seeing Nikole pause and watch to make sure Shanann got in the house safely, breaks my heart everytime. If she had only known the real danger was inside that house.
With Nichole slow to leave her friend, I wonder if she felt something just wasn't right? Each time I see it, I just want to stop her, warn her not to go in, the monster is there! I despise him for what and how he did her! Even his parents that conceived, raised this thing and sent it out on society! Lets see what their other kid does and her kids, karma will eventually knock at cindy, ronnie and jamies door! Not for what killer chris did! But, what each and every one of them said and did to Shanann, even after their son killed her!
I have a two year old daughter, she quite literally is my entire life. The reason I get up everyday, the way his daughter was so excited for pizza reminds me of how mine jumps up and down also. This is so heartbreaking, I hope Chris lives an incredibly long life so he can reflect on his actions.
@@speakthetruth995 hell doesn't exist it's a Fairy tale hopefully he suffers in prison and the next life and hopefully this trash isn't reborn to do the same shit
ok but "your entire life" is not healthy. what happens when she gets more independent? tend to yourself AND her. she is there to help unlock things within you AND vice versa. do not smother that girl
I agree with you. I think he attacked Shanann while she was sleeping. She was a spirited, feisty woman who would have fought him with everything she had. God bless Shanann, Bella, CeCe, and Nico. Gone but never forgotten:(
Shan'ann wouldn't be able to fight back if Chris pounced on her just after arriving through the front door at 1.48am with her hands full (suit cases and bags), using his own body weight to push her face down on the stairs
@@MooWuu Chris saying she was praying while he was killing her is a bold face lie..he's bringing religion into his confession..to get sympathy and to take the heat of him for the actual act of killing her. ( So he doesn't appear as much of a monster than he actually is) Shannan or anyone that is being retrained and being strangled wouldn't just lay there and pray..you'd fight with all your might. It's a natural instinct. Narcissists commonly bring religion into an investigation that involves them directly or after they are incarcerated..We are supposed to believe that they have found God, God will forgive them, so we will too. Since they are religious now, they must not be as evil anymore. Everything covert narcs do is to make themselves looks better..whatever it takes, they'll try anything to deflect blame off themselves..outlandish lies, denial, blame others..they are never wrong..they honestly believe that. Sickening
I can't imagine what it must feel like to be Shannan's friend. She did everything she could to look out for her, and make sure she was safe. She made none of the mistakes that some people make in situations like these (not checking up, writing off a missed phone call etc.) She really did everything she could and yet I'm willing to bet she still racks her brain trying to figure out what more she could have done.
She posted a video recently and somewhere in her speech she said she thinks if she couldve done something more. She couldnt tho, I hope she can forgive herself/find peace.
She did everything she could and is not at fault whatsoever. You just never think that after dropping a friend off at home they will be brutally killed by their husband and you will never see them again. But as Cooltina above me says, She was on the hunt for her friend after only 6 hours. She did all she could.
I feel for her as well. I know what it's like to view tragedies through the harshness of hindsight....millions of questions like "what if I'd just done that instead...." or "if only I'd......" & "I should have thought of........" Those thoughts can be nightmarish, as though one's own mind is assulting itself. I sincerely hope she's not suffering too badly from the "what if" syndrome. It's horrible.
Selcuk Chasan it’s hard for me to watch videos of those precious little girls knowing that they was killed by their psycho dad and knowing how these poor little girls was killed and dumped. My heart breaks every time I see videos.
the detective's biggest lie " you were a difficult guy to read at the house that day" like almost everyone who watched that could tell lmao even neighbor nate did right away
@@odoplaydead5012 that’s exactly what it is, they were acting non-confrontational during the interrogation too so he would open up. They’re seasoned investigators 🙌🏻
He claims he has a high IQ. I just don't believe it. He actually thought he could fly the Lie Detector test from the CBI. And his fake a$$ tears. What a loser.
@@dukey19941 Even if Chris somehow has a high IQ his emotional intelligence is basically nonexistent and he doesn't possess anything even approaching common sense when it comes to getting away with triple homicide. How someone with a "high IQ" could possibly drive their GPS-tracked work vehicle to their victims' burial site is completely beyond me.
@@dukey19941 IQ tests are about spatial reasoning, pattern recognition and logic. Not about understanding people or emotions. The Unabomber was a mathematics prodigy with an IQ of 167. That’s ridiculously high, but look what he went on to do. IQ really means nothing. Guys like Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer had pretty high IQs as well.
I'm surprised nobody has touched on the gas can part. He says he was thinking about getting rid of himself. By way of lighting himself on fire? No chance. He was thinking of burning the bodies.
How could it not be premeditated ? Everything he says is bullshit, this has to be one of the most unnecessary and heartbreaking murders I've ever seen.
Oh it was definitely premeditated. I heard that might even have video of the children’s murder or the clean up inside the house, & that’s why he plead guilty & it went so fast....
Obviously took lightly his blessings. Even thought it was himself responsible for them, hence, the feeling that he could do as he pleased with his "property" without giving account. Just my opinion.
When Chris Watts told that disrespectful story about his wife defecating as he murdered her, he was actually describing shitting himself at Nate's house as the infamous driveway video was shown - in front of a police officer! No wonder Twatts made such a hasty exit - he had to leave to change his underpants!
@Char Siu He was certainly stressed enough to shit his pants! Can you imagine - hours earlier you murdered * three people (* four people, counting the unborn victim), and not only does your neighbour have video of you moving their dead bodies, a police bodycam records you watching that video evidence! It's hard to imagine a more stressful situation for a cowardly woman and child killer like that chickenshit Chris Watts.
Keep in mind because of Shanaann's friends tenacity, he didn't have time to "clean up." He literally returned to the crime scene with a cop next to him. Stop with Nikki helping him. With so much stuff like DNA, phone pings, cameras everywhere etc. don't you think cops would've gone after her?
I really think he was a "lone wolf" on this, even though he was less wolf & more...eh, Wile E. Coyote. For the person saying that he didn't have the time he would've needed to clean up the crime scene as well as he planned to, or you at least implied as much, I think that he was so entirely full of himself, & thought he was so smart that if he didn't think he had done an excellent job, he would've either called out of work for the day to take care of it or at least called in & said he'd be late to finish off his plans. This was 1st degree, which means he planned it out, which means his plans were terrible, foolish, minimal, & simple like his brain. It all comes across in the moment he confesses, he doesn't see a way out so he goes with the first suggestion of the woman who gave him the polygraph... "Chris, did Shannan do something to those girls." Ding, lightbulb, gee I never even thought of that! What a great offramp for this shitshow highway! If you rely on the police to craft your false narrative as a means of covering up your crimes, you didn't plan beyond dumping the poor bodies & giving a cursory "good 'nuff" cleansing of the crime scene. He's a fool & a narcissist, which makes for not just a sandwich short at the picnic, but dude forgot the basket, both sandwiches & how to drive to the park across the street. IMO, of course.
Agreed, very smart deduction. The only thing we can be sure of, is that Chris Watts has not yet told the whole truth about that night, and he never will. But unfortunately I believe we'll hear more of his murder stories before he dies. All three versions he has told to date have been self serving in various respects. I will never believe he did not kill all three victims inside the house behind 4 walls, like almost every other cowardly family annihilator. The driveway video shows him taking three dead, not live victims to his truck IMO. Shanann's father Frank was right in his courtroom victim impact statement when he told Watts: "I watched you carry them out like trash". At no point did CW or his team contradict a word of the prosecution's assertion he killed them all inside the family home. There is no logical reason for CW to delay the children's murders as he claims. Indeed there's much more reason to believe he killed Bella and Cece first, before Shanann got home. He couldn't stand 'Those girls', as he kept calling them in horrible, distancing language. I think he was excited about his long-held 'D-Day' coming round and probably wanted to 'start the ball rolling', suffocating them on their mattresses soon after putting them to bed. It would explain why Shanann said he sounded 'annoyed' when she told him of her very inconvenient, 3 hour flight delay - it was too late for him to postpone the mission and do it when he had more time, because he'd already killed the children. And why did he tell his mistress in that late night, 111 minute call, that he'd washed his little girls' sheets, and that they "Stank"? It's suspicious he was laundering their bedclothes before Shanann came home. Did Bella, who'd suffered a violent struggle, and didn't wear nappies, defecate as she died?
@@glamdolly30 I don't think any of them defecated. I researched this and found it only happens in about 30% of suffocation and strangling cases. Also Cece wore pullups and that's what she was found in when they brought out the bodies. Bella wore underwear and was still wearing them when found. Shannan also was wearing underwear when found and nothing was mentioned in the autopsy reports. Shannan also had been unwell and barely eaten or drunk anything while in Arizona.. She was nauseous, dizzy and had migraines continually (I think he gave her another smaller dose of Oxy before she left for the airport). When the police arrived that first day they smelled nothing in the house. Not even on the bed sheet that was found in the kitchen trash. Or the pillow cases in there with it. The kids beds didn't even look like they had been slept in. In 1979 when in labour with my third child they gave me an enema and because labour was slow to get started and my water had broken 10 hours before, they gave me induction drugs. Because of that they wouldn't let me go to the bathroom and I had to use a bedpan. It was like the bowels of Hell opening up.......and they couldn't get rid of the smell from my room even after a couple of hours so they sprayed the room and opened the windows.. All the windows and drapes in Watts home were closed.......If he did tell NK he had washed he kids sheets (she is a liar also and good at distracting the investigators away from subjects she doesn't want to go near)........the kids anyway had not been dead long enough to cause an obvious smell. My mother lay in state on her bed for 22 hours after she died and there was no smell. The funeral directors collected her from our house the next day. Her bowels and bladder didn't evacuate either. But she had cancer and ate barely anything for 6 months. So a lot depends what was eaten and when, how far digested it was......and that monster may have refrigerated or froze the little girls - researching fridge temperatures just hours before he killed them.....Yes, I believe he killed them hours before Shannan arrived home and she wasn't given a chance to check on them.
He wrote letters from prison that were made into a book where he tells an even worse story... They're pretty easy to find &made me feel sick to my stomach -esp the way he said he had to strangle his kids multiple times w/them regaining consciousness &walking in on him killing shannan, looking traumatized. He said he did it to be w/Nikki. Who knows what's the truth, tho.
My friend did Shanann's hair for her wedding to this monster and my cousin worked with Chris at Anadarko. My friend said Shanann was a very sweet person. So horrible to think the man you sleep next to every night and trust to protect you could be such a psychopath under the surface.
@@KayyHolmess 🙏🏻 exactly! How can anyone justify the murders? Wtf. We all have flaws, we can all be controlling at times. Doesn’t mean she and her children had to die!
Yeah he was perceptive to that for sure. Nate seems like a straightforward, no BS kind of guy, and had to tell the policeman his thoughts because he knew something was off. The police will always listen to a next door neighbour like that, since they know the subject's baseline behaviour and mannerisms. I think the police officer knew something was up as well, but he hid his feelings, so as not to rattle Chris into leaving, shutting up or getting a lawyer.
I heard after he killed them he had to break bones to try and stuff them into the oil tanker too because the opening was too small. Stuff the kids in different tankers and the mother in the ground separating them even after death which doesn’t seem that significant but those details just shows how evil, ruthless and psychotic he is
Literally if my kids are missing for even a couple minutes I'm panicking running outside and inside checking anywhere and everywhere cause I'm worried if they're ok or not
@@anthonypearson9396 I have that reaction when my f'in cat is hiding under the couch. Knowing that he does that. I'll still run around. Check outside as quickly as possible. I'd have a larger reaction if my child is missing.
@Rocknroll McLaughlinTM wtf? why would he need to know them to emphatise with them on a deeper level? maybe you're just a sociopath and you dont get it or something.
I'm pretty sure before he loaded Shananns body in the truck he took her wedding ring off in the garage and put it in her car. When he got home he took it out of the car and put it upstairs like she left it. That is what he was doing in the car.
2:51 A sign of a true friend. I get so sick of seeing the comments on other videos of people saying her friend was nosy, her neighbor was nosy ect. NO! Real friends don't drive off and leave you hanging. True friends will stay those extra seconds to see you get in the house safe.
There's a difference between being a friend and being oddly invasive. The friend knew her passcode, when her doctor's appointments were, whenever she was coming or going...it obviously broke this case but it just seems a bit much to me.
@@hurricanecamille8089 That's a good point... also I think it is worth noting that Shannan seemed like an over-sharer. But assuming in a perfect world nobody was murdered... you're right... that's very CLOSE. None of my best friends ever knew my phone pass code. I know my husband's but my phone is unlocked because I'm lazy lol but if I had one, he'd know it.
@@hurricanecamille8089 I think NA was being extra cautious because of the way Chris had been acting towards Shanann for the last 6 weeks because he was too busy with that woman - I'll be nice here and not call her what I really want to call her. He treated SW like absolute dirt. He gaslighted her and had her so distraught NA and her Thrive friends had to literally make her eat and drink when they were in Arizona. NA knew Shanann was in mental distress, so that probably made her extra nervous. When NA found out SW missed that dr. appt., that was the last straw. She KNEW something was very wrong. Not too much if you look at the whole picture, IMO.
yes, and its so clean and tidy. I think how come they don't have clutter and "stuff" like I do? Then, they show the humongous basement. Ohhhh, thats where they keep everything!! The stuff in their basement can fill my entire house.
This was a labor of love, Derek. Thank you for caring about this sweet family and peeling back the layers to arrive at hidden truths. May they rest in peace. 💐
100% it kept me totally interested the whole way. But seeing Shanann there and the girls in the yard playing with that monster in the short clips broke my heart. 😔
Can I just say, amazing work from that original officer who came out for the wellness check. I know in a lot of places if officers can't see a sign of anyone home or can't get in through an open door they just leave. Let's thank this dude for waiting and thinking of several ways to get a hold of her and trying to find out where she is
so true. i directed all my friends who were talking about it on twitter to your videos, no joke. the best information i got on this case was from you and from Stephanie Harlowe.
Nicole and that neighbour are heroes. Imagine if Chris had more time and had been able to get away with it. Nicole is the best friend everyone needs and that neighbour had great intuition to be immediately suspicious.
I think Nicole was the kind of person who felt a strong sisterhood with Shanaan. I think she disliked Watts because she sensed in him something really creepy. She was hyper-alert and protective. From looking at her she probably knew what cheating spouses were about, and why they cheat. She knew that Watts wasn't getting in hyper-shape for Shanaan. Yeah, Nicole, son & Nate were the best kind of friends and neighbors. They were nobody's fool. And though they were extremely worried they didn't seem surprised. It's like they knew Watts was an asshole.
Even when he plays with his kids is not really loving, the way he talks to them everything was as he was mimicking emotions, because he is unable to truly feel any emotions. A true sociopath
i know someone with sociopathic tendencies who lacks empathy, but not completely, as they’re not a psychopath. i’m no expert, but i’d bet that chris watts is definitely a narcissistic psychopath more than anything. psychopaths are more likely to commit violent crimes too
Then why was she searching her name in 2017? She wanted Shanaan’s life and all the trappings that went with it. No, I am not a lawyer. It’s called inane sense. I have a knack for noting the obvious. If that makes me a bozo then I am happy to own that title.
Maybe they didn’t have enough physical evidence to convict her . However yes she was an accomplice to these murders . I’m sure her and Chris discussed this several times . It’s common sense she would be Jealous. When you want something bad you’ll do whatever it takes to get it .
Unfortunately, this happens in our society. 😢Innocent people get convicted, guilty people run free. I wish justice could be perfect. If no one ever got away with murder then no one would ever try. 💜✌️
@@TheRealDarrylStrawberry Oh okay, my bad. I knew she said that, but I thought she was just speculating on what it could be. I'm the dummy this time. Lol
@@aguynamedkevin8469 you're not a dummy I had no idea that's even what she said I thought she said what's the babys due date? Like asking Chris to punch it in the keypad. But knowing she said its the baby's due date shows Shannan shared her codes and shit with friends so i know she did with her fucking husband.
its a good comparison to see, her friend who shows actual concern and wants to find her and then theres Chris who doesn't show concern about his wife at all.
Her friend Nichol was a true friend to Shanann. This lady is going through Breast Cancer, life is not fair at all. I hope she gets better. If there is a God then she will recover....it is the least she deserves. There are not many people like her in the world. God Bless Her. I can only think she would love to prevent her friend from going through that door. I do not think CW was pleased to see her that morning, but I think she is wonderful and also Nate as well for the video from his CCTV. Thank you Nate. xx
I really like how he combines the body cam footage with home video segments here and there. It really adds so many layers of emotion. Plus, Derek, your psychological analysis is amazing :)
He didn't want to pay child support to a family he never wanted. Little did he know he didn't want a new life either, as if his new plan worked he'd probably grow to hate it and look for a new life with someone else. I think he looks for a person to take care of him but ends up resenting them. Unfortunately there's no way to verify this because he didn't have a pattern because he got caught. But I feel this person would do this multiple times if never stopped... and most likely never see anything wrong with it.
Definitely. It appears she was disguising her voice, instead of her deep "dude " airhead voice, she changed it to sound like some giddy 12 yr old girl. Everything she did, down to how she changed her voice she did to manipulate him. And it worked.
"Hi, it's me, HEHEHEHEHE" I mean... wtf is wrong with her? I'm not one of those weirdos that blames her for the horrific events that unfolded, being in an affair does NOT equate to being a murderer by any means, but she's... interesting. To say the least.
@@MsMisfits Netflix left out a lot that’s why not many people know that Nichol Kessinger was there on the night of the murders. She’s on the neighbours cctv with her pony tail and white hand bag. Her phone records show her searching Shannan Watts on her FB. She also searched up the Scott Peterson case. She also searched ‘can police retrieve deLeted text messages’. Her interview with the police was full of lies that have been proven wrong with evidence. She’s a whole murderer on the loose. Search nichol kessinger you’ll see it all.
honestly, NATE was the savior in this whole thing. He not only had the camera evidence, but he also had personal insight to Chris' personality. He told that cop something wasnt right and that Chris was covering his tracks, and the cop listened. That man deserves some kind of recognition for his genuine concern and cooperation.
Man your videos on chris watts when the news broke out to the video you had when it showed the police point of view was so informative it was ONE MILLION times better than that crappy netflix version
This second “confession “ is an absolute joke. He’s STILL lying. You can totally tell. Agent Coder keeps calling him out but he always says, “yes” it’s true. I’m glad he’s so dumb-he got caught early. He trying to hide that the murder was pre-meditated. Because we all know he’s guilty of planning ALL the murders. It was no “heat of passion”. But I have a feeling that the reasons he skates over some of the important parts, like what happened when he was on top of her and something held his hand around her neck, because the truth is so horrible that he won’t tell us. He’s too embarrassed. That’s CW!
@@leval1000 OMG! I just don’t read the books, this case is just so beyond anything in all my 60 plus years on this planet! Never ever heard of a father killing his little girls and then stuffing them in oil tanks. I really wish that animal was put to death.
@@leval1000 exactly. Then he even tries to act like “oh did I know I was gonna kill her before I hopped on top of her”? Ummm yeah Chris. Remember you already killed your girls by smothering them. Well so you thought. Such a piece of 💩
I completely agree. I’m my mind is a mix of shame and protection of NK. That night he wasn’t alone. The neighbours‘’ camera picks up a woman walking out of his house at the time of the murders
Neighbor Nate and Nickol Atkinson were the duo that brought Chris’ whole shit storm to an end. They simultaneously solved this case between the two of them. What a great support group Shan’ann had in them. This story will be 5 years old this August, but it still haunts me. May Shan’ann, Bella, Cece and Niko rest in peace eternally.
Omg. After studying this case, this morning after watching this, I said to myself. I bet he killed her in her sleep! She was too much of a fighter to just lay there and allow him to take her away from her babies, so that he could go be with another woman. Bull!
No, you’re incorrect, close but incorrect. Psychopaths are COWARDS and want to ensure intended victims are helpless as quickly as possible with little/no chance of fighting back. Serial killers develop elaborate techniques to fool their victims into trusting them. What psychopaths enjoy is the pain, suffering, fear and control they have over their victims.
I hate to tell you this, but if you think fighting back when a 200lb man is strangling a 115lb woman makes much of a difference, you're delusional. Stop watching television
See the way Nate, the neighbor, how's looking at Chris when was showing him the video. The look explain a judgement and questioning. He's very smart. What a sad story, may the souls of the innocent ones rest in peace.
In my opinion I feel like he knows if everybody knew the complete truth and 100% of the factual details. Then he’d no longer be relevant or “worth” talking about anymore.
How can he laugh over her phone being thrown on the couch, " I don't know what was going on that morning" he laughs to the police ,Unbelievable! He's a absolute monster.
Lol a Karen on a real mission... but seriously she knew & was an interesting contrast / reaction to cw ... perhaps someone will do a video on that aspect!
I love the way she pulls her hand away from Shan’ann’s phone when Chris touched it too. She pulls her hand away and shakes it like he’s dirty, or poisonous. You watch it again, when they’re standing outside of the bedroom at the top of the stairs. It’s extremely telling of what Nicole was feeling about Chris, and what she suspected has happened.
I think because of the horrendous nature and also we kind of got to know Shannan and the kids by all the videos. We literally saw so many pieces of their lives.
@Kyle Noyb I have to disagree. They choose to have the baby, and the fact that they knew the baby's gender show that she was really in the pregnancy where the baby already feels certain things. (Abortion happens before the baby develop a gender)
If possible, I hope you can add subtitles to your future videos! whether through your own editing or through youtube's subtitle option. i have a hard time hearing and understanding some parts of the video where you show footage from the investigation so it would help out a lot for other folks who are hard of hearing :)
@@mindfulnessd6012 it sounds like a lot of effort to subtitle your videos but I even see it with Facebook videos where they half subtitle like a Gogglebox clip and then you have to rely on CC's. I always think, what about deaf people!? Media should be accessible to people of all ability!
@@Onyxxu20 yess I agree! It’s like what about people who are deaf like it would help so much that they would feel included in some form of life I guess
The way he immediately puts his hands behind his head while they're watching the video is a clear indication of guilt. He's "surrendering" but he's also anxious so he's moving his body. Sheesh. This is just awful
Nah, its what comes after that he didnt want. Child Support and alimony. He didnt want to "take care" of his family anymore. If his mistress helped him plan, it makes me wonder how she didnt feel uncomfortable because if he got tired of her and they had a family together he would do the same to her.
It's great he was on his phone..he's too stupid to realize that cops can eventually find out who he's communicating with. Some law enforcement officals are experts on reading body language too. The body cameras cops wore were vital in this investigation. Lots of video footage to study. I cant get over how cool he was acting while questioned by the police in his house, just hours after the murders. Unreal
@@notgonnagetmydata8221 Not really, it's more of a giveaway if anything. He was subconsciously self comforting and constantly trying to distance himself from the situation, which is very off, considering his WIFE and KIDS were "missing" this normally 90% of the time wouldn't be a subconscious reaction. Which is why he was suspected not only by the officer but his neighbors and friends during the scene.
He was being flooded with texts and calls from friends and family asking what was going on and he was probably replying pretending to ask if they happened to know where the girls were.
What would you say to Chris Watts if you were interviewing him?
WHY?????
Did you really think police were going to say "can't find your family? Darn, see you later"?
Was it worth it Chrissy 15 minutes of lust for 3 lifetimes in prison?
DVS you should work for the police and crack these evil smucks. Your good at it.
Watched all your CW videos from months ago after the documentary, cool to see you make a new one!
I thought I could shake my obsession with this case, here we go again
Me too. I’m obsessed!
Exactly my issue.
You are not alone.
Did you see the story about Chris's gay lover? I haven't read it yet but I don't believe that's true. What are your thoughts?
Same here. Can't shake it off of my head 😔
I’ll never forget when the officer makes the quick call on his radio and Chris spins around looking like the most guilty piece of crap. Wowww
Ha! That punk was TERRIFIED!!!
Ya he literally shit his pants!
There more to this story
As someone with 15 years clean and with too many interactions with law enforcement, THAT is my favourite moment. I’m so glad other folks picked up on that. Thank you for sharing that, now I know it’s not just me imagination. BTW Shaik has personality, that beats the crap out of all the click-bait out there.
Man shitted on himself lol
The edits where you play videos of the kids at different places in the house really hits hard. So sad. Those poor people.
Yup, same thing with me. Watching a police officer knocking on the sliding glass door in an attempt to locate a missing family. Then editing in a video of Bella, one of the missing children, spraying water on the glass laughing her little heart out and turning it on Mom. This man is a monster. As a Father of 7 I couldn't imagine my life without my children in it. These kids deserved a better Father than the one they were unfortunately born to.
Though I'm aware of this from the previous videos, I just read your comment as it happened the first time in this particular video. And I've always felt the same. It's like how I'd imagine a 6th sense to work. Such an odd, sad feeling.
@Jess Stone and the baby boy he wanted 😢
I honestly cannot stand it when the Cops are leaving and they give Chris a card from the police station to call if anything comes up and Chris goes “sweet”. The man is a monster.
The first time I heard that, a completely involuntary “wtf” leapt from my mouth. “SWEET” complete with a lighthearted upward inflection
Like the FBI, I think they knew from the very beginning that he was guilty. They were just playing along in order to get him to confess, and when he confessed I bet they were more than happy to arrest him.
I noticed that too. The man is so dumb that he can't see how dumb he is, which in turn makes him even dumber. Chris Watts' 2 brain cells: Yeah this is how a man pretending to be a concerned husband reacts to being given a card by a cop trying to find my family... "sweet". It's astounding that he lasted this long in life without accidentally killing himself out of stupidity.
@@killer92173 exactly!
I'm going to watch that part again.
All Chris had to do is get in his car and drive far away.... killing his whole family was so unnecessary.
In hindsight you can bet he says that to himself all day everyday now.
yea but alimony
Just can't figure out how he thought slaughtering his whole family was a good idea.. I mean did he really think he could get away with this God awful crime?
@@chrisw7188 so murder is better then paying alimony for your kids to live and survive ????I mean I sort of get it but fuck man he ain't had to do all that shit putting them in oil tanks
He definitely didn't want to pay child support and alimony. Shannan would've been making plenty of money to cover the kids and then herself for 18 years while Chris would barely have enough money to buy groceries. Not condoning his actions at all
the way that her friend Nichole waited for her to go into her house to make sure she gets in safe on their camera, is a truly a great genuine friend. condolences to her and Shanann’s family ❤️
Not knowing that the real evil was just inside the door...
@@CoExist64 IKR so sad.
Yes, it's very touching, and so sad.....
Can we take a second to appreciate how AMAZING, BRAVE, and STRONG Nichole’s son is? I hope my son, would stand up in this situation.
Yes quite beautiful to witness. Nichole and her son are awesome. (I have an older boy too.)
I had forgotten that he was the first one to go up to Officer Coonrod, greeting him and saying "Do you remember me?" Wonder how he already knew the officer? Maybe from a school program or something?
Yes, she raised him well.
This was a thought of mine weeks ago. I hope my 17 year old wld react this way and nt be detached. He provided a lot of details when he could. Reintroduced himself as a man would before his mother. Salute and Sending Blessings overflowed to these two,this cop, and the neighbor. And i still dont believe he is tellin the complete truth.
@@jonnaosborne1832 or shoplifting
The friend was panicked, you can tell she got bad vibes from this guy. I think the friend blew this up way sooner than he expected. He thought that he’d have more time to set the stage.
Without a doubt.
Her friend completely screwed up all of his plans. Amazing intuition on that woman.
Yep Chris was too dumb to realize Shannan had an amazing friend and she had a doctor's appointment to check on her unborn son and her friend was gonna accompany her to that appointment and Shannan wouldn't miss an appointment nor would she not call her friend at least to say she rescheduled it
Yeah you could tell he was shook af when he realized the cops got a call about it as quick as they did
Yeah, she couldn't look in her own plate🤡🙄
The way his neighbor Nate is eyeballing him while they watch the security video with the cop though.
And then looking at the cop to see if he notices what he’s noticing
Nate knows what’s up.
Nate immediately suspected him
Nate definitely knew something was up. He along with N Atkinson are the heroes of this case imo.
Thank God for Shanann's neighbour Nate and friend Nickole, they weren't fooled by Chris Watts' passive, 'harmless geek' act and knew instinctively he was behind his family's disappearance.
It's obviously a tragedy, but I have to laugh at the fact smartass thought he'd get away with murdering his family so easily - but within hours of killing them, his house the crime scene, was crawling with cops and he was struggling hard not to shit himself!
He said that his wife saying "You'll never see the kids" prompted him to killing her. So tell me why did he kill the kids too??
He makes no sense and is a terrible liar!
Unless he killed them first in a show of rage to shannan
He only said that to act like he just snapped and killed her out of rage. But no, this was a planned, pre-meditated murder that he had a week to think about when Shanann was gone. He already planned to kill her when she came home that night. He even sent a picture of a doll underneath a sheet, that’s what was on his mind the whole time was how to get away with murder
@@Surgicalsensei Yeah, his story is bs. I don’t understand the doll thing tho. Where did u see that and what does it mean?
Yes & yes
@@scottmatznick6461 anything’s possible ...
Hooray for Shanann's friend for being ON IT. She undoubtedly made this MUCH harder for chris to get away with. She's honestly a hero in my mind.

Oh for sure. Without her bringing attention to her disappearance early on, it would have been much easier for him to flee and/or for her and those poor babies to never be found.

@@haileygrey5047 nobody outside my household would notice me
Seriously, the good Nicole and Nate honestly... just... I can’t even express. The neighbour instantly clocking the fact he wasn’t acting right, and actually saying that to the police?! Star, absolute star. And the juxtaposition of Chris vs (the good) Nicole... really apparent. The dead-eyed sociopathic narcissist versus the friend truly fraught with worry, panicking, frayed nerves. Her dispair is almost palpable. We all need a Nicole in our lives and every Chris Watts needs a Nate.
Nate is on the ball...Lot smarter than he Looks...Can't judge a book by its cover...Just a good "OLE" really smart Man(boy) & Nicole Is a Momma Bear!!! These people were ready to roll from the get-go...Nate had him cold on that Tape!
Amen Nickole and Nate are heroes of this horror story, they helped put a highly dangerous man behind bars within days of his murders.
Let’s not forget Chris’s mom. 🙄 there’s tapes of their phone conversation between mom and Chris and the mom says “we know how shannan was” basically justifying him killing Shan. She’s just as evil as her son
Both his parents seem like horrible narcissists who raised another narcissist.
the dad is horrible too, on the recording of them talking while he is in prison before he confessed, the dad is laughing constantly and talking about sports the whole time. but neither of them murdered anyone so they aren't 'just as evil'.
not saying it justifies murdering her, but I'd go crazy too if my wifes' job was posting shit on Instagram
@@commandingsteel And Thrive is one of the worst ones. But obviously not justifying hurting/killing a whole family over it.
@@commandingsteel he was a narcissist and was already crazy. I think he actually liked being posted on instagram because he liked any bit of praise he could get for looking like the perfect dad
One of the biggest things that people seem to struggle with is that they don’t understand how Chris Watts just stopped loving his family. The thing is, he never did love them or anyone else. He doesn’t know what love feels like, he’s not capable of it.
Psychopaths
Sociopath
He hated them.
He had to Google “how to say I love you for the first time”, I think that says it all
he never started
Everyone did a remarkable job. The friend who called the police, the responding officer who recognized there was a problem early, the detective who took it serious, the neighbor who got involved, and the department doing a clean interrogation.
Yep that's all the idiot had to do, leave... I'm not proud of it but I had a few affairs in my marriage and as much as I thought I liked it there was no way in HELL I could have ever conceived to strangle my wife and kid's... I have been coming back to this Chris Watts Bulls $@#t since he first did it.... I'm just so intrigued how he could have done it... What must it have sounded like inside his head when he murdered them... I imagine it was bell ringing, horns blowing etc
So what you're saying is when people do what they're supposed to do we have a good system, but whenbthey don't do what they're supposed to do we blame the system as if it's broken?
All this tragedy for nothing. All for not even 48 hours of freedom. Completely evil and senseless. Smh.
e x a c t l y ! & how could he ever have thought he would even get away with it?! A murderous moron!
For absolutely NOTHING!! he was trying to cover his tracks immediately after, and was on edge the couple of hours he had at work before Nickole was at his front door. He’s an idiot!!!
All for nothing allright...he doesn’t get Kissinger and spends his life in prison...hates the food..really? Too bad!
Not nothing. his money problems are over. We, the taxpayers, get to support him the rest of his natural life.
@@alecb8509 but its money well spent!
Imagine being a kid, imagine thinking your dad loves you and is going to protect you no matter what and then all the sudden you witness your dad taking your sisters life, and then your next. I couldn’t imagined what those poor babies were thinking and it really breaks my heart trying to. God be with those little angels.
Who do you trust more in ur life at that age? Your parents. This breaks me up. How could he do this? For another woman? I just can't imagine.
@@danielle4926 he was a psychopath. psychopaths don't feel sympathy towards others, but he had a "reasoning" behind this murder, so that he would go with his girlfriend. but he chose to kill the family instead of getting divorced with her. sick people...
Thinking about the clip where one of the girls are singing “My daddy is a hero, he helps me grow up strong...”, poor girl didn’t know that her dad would go from being her hero to being her murderer 😢🙈
When I first heard bella fought back i broke down in tears.
@Joshua Hammond , You may have issues with deities but why shove your beliefs? One human is being kind in this shit storm of events. Kind of like insult to injury... by chance are you related to the Watts?
Have to commend the officer who responded to the scene. Did his due diligence...went to all possible entrance/access points, verified their integrity and made attempts at each point to ID himself and investigate anything that would've given him PC. Excellent work officer...he's probably a Detective by now.
very good police work. alot of cops would have just abandoned the law and went off instincts
Indeed. Great work ❤👍
I agree ☝️. That Officer had his eye on Chris’s body language and KNEW that he was acting strange! I hope that Officer is a Detective by now. The neighbor was amazing too!
@Jonny B You'd be surprised at how often pregnant women suffer violence at the hands of their significant other. Thus the reason why the cop was being careful, observant, and persevering throughout his questioning of CW. ~ Anastacia in Cleveland
Having done the job myself- I agree. I found a woman laying on her bathroom floor after falling in the shower doing that exact same search. In my case, her car was in the shop so it would have been easy to write it off as "she's not home" but after 20 minutes of knocking, yelling, going to each door and window- I heard the faint sound of water running- the woman had broken her hip after falling and had been laying there nearly 3 straight days- she had hypothermia (part of her was laying in the walk-in shower). It's crucial during a well-being check that you take your good sweet time to CAREFULLY check all aspects of the exterior.
"I don't think I moved until my knees were on her arms or anything." I think that is EXACTLY what he did! He was planning on using her phone to text everybody back that morning, but Shanann got him by changing the code! You could tell he was like, "Why didn't I think of the baby's due date?" He was so mad he didn't know that code!!! He didn't give a damn about the baby so it never crossed his mind. Great analysis, Derek!
Nice spotting yeah she was on too it sad though that means she knew something was not right she may have known more than we know and he knew it maybe he was about to lose everything they may have argued before she left on her bisness meet that gave him time to plan the murder (definitely premeditated murder). all so he could dip his sausage in a different sauce

Was it just me or was the neighbor focusing solely on Watts as he cued up the video? Probably because he'd viewed it a couple of times already...but even his body/shoulders seem to be squared up at Watts. This neighbor knew something was up right away.
Wasn't there another neighbor who said they'd have screaming matches with each other and would argue Alot? I wonder if this is the same neighbor and that's why he immediately suspected him and watched the tapes
@@CindyDGAFbruhh it was the same neighbor but Nate actually retracted his statement. He said, they didn’t fight anymore then a normal couple and he exaggerated it. Especially them screaming at each other. 🤷🏼♀️
Ohh yeahhhh & as soon as Chris left, the neighbor started giving his opinion
They all knew he was guilty from the get go, I think. Nichole’s son certainly did.
just the neighbors and her friend Nicole framed him right before the cops ! Neighbors are scary, they know everything about the family habits ! but in this case it was a big help !
Seeing Nikole pause and watch to make sure Shanann got in the house safely, breaks my heart everytime. If she had only known the real danger was inside that house.
With Nichole slow to leave her friend, I wonder if she felt something just wasn't right? Each time I see it, I just want to stop her, warn her not to go in, the monster is there! I despise him for what and how he did her! Even his parents that conceived, raised this thing and sent it out on society! Lets see what their other kid does and her kids, karma will eventually knock at cindy, ronnie and jamies door! Not for what killer chris did! But, what each and every one of them said and did to Shanann, even after their son killed her!
I have a two year old daughter, she quite literally is my entire life. The reason I get up everyday, the way his daughter was so excited for pizza reminds me of how mine jumps up and down also. This is so heartbreaking, I hope Chris lives an incredibly long life so he can reflect on his actions.
Live an incredible long life!!! Ever heart about hell, 1 minute in hell is worst than forever in prison.

ok but "your entire life" is not healthy. what happens when she gets more independent? tend to yourself AND her. she is there to help unlock things within you AND vice versa. do not smother that girl
I agree with you. I think he attacked Shanann while she was sleeping. She was a spirited, feisty woman who would have fought him with everything she had. God bless Shanann, Bella, CeCe, and Nico. Gone but never forgotten:(
What’s really sad to me is Chris said Shanann did nothing while he strangled her. He said she was probably praying, or in shock...
Shan'ann wouldn't be able to fight back if Chris pounced on her just after arriving through the front door at 1.48am with her hands full (suit cases and bags), using his own body weight to push her face down on the stairs
What a coward. I hope he gets what he deserves in jail and the afterlife.
He said he drugged her with OxyContin in her Thrive shake😢
@@MooWuu
Chris saying she was praying while he was killing her is a bold face lie..he's
bringing religion into his confession..to get sympathy and to take the heat of him for the actual act of killing her. ( So he doesn't appear as much of a monster than he actually is)
Shannan or anyone that is being retrained and being strangled wouldn't just lay there and pray..you'd fight with all your might. It's a natural instinct.
Narcissists commonly bring religion into an investigation that involves them directly or after they are incarcerated..We are supposed to believe that they have found God, God will forgive them, so we will too.
Since they are religious now, they must not be as evil anymore.
Everything covert narcs do is to make themselves looks better..whatever it takes, they'll try anything to deflect blame off themselves..outlandish lies, denial, blame others..they are never wrong..they honestly believe that.
Sickening
I can't imagine what it must feel like to be Shannan's friend. She did everything she could to look out for her, and make sure she was safe. She made none of the mistakes that some people make in situations like these (not checking up, writing off a missed phone call etc.) She really did everything she could and yet I'm willing to bet she still racks her brain trying to figure out what more she could have done.
She posted a video recently and somewhere in her speech she said she thinks if she couldve done something more. She couldnt tho, I hope she can forgive herself/find peace.
Poor woman. She couldn't have known. She has a good heart.
Right! Most people wouldn’t react this fast!! Only 6 hours and she immediately was on the look out for her friend..
She did everything she could and is not at fault whatsoever. You just never think that after dropping a friend off at home they will be brutally killed by their husband and you will never see them again. But as Cooltina above me says, She was on the hunt for her friend after only 6 hours. She did all she could.
I feel for her as well. I know what it's like to view tragedies through the harshness of hindsight....millions of questions like "what if I'd just done that instead...." or "if only I'd......" & "I should have thought of........"
Those thoughts can be nightmarish, as though one's own mind is assulting itself. I sincerely hope she's not suffering too badly from the "what if" syndrome. It's horrible.
The footage of those kids that aren't around anymore is like a spear in my heart.
Agreed!! It broke my heart!!!

Obviously took lightly his blessings.
Even thought it was himself responsible for them, hence, the feeling that he could do as he pleased with his "property" without giving account.
Just my opinion.
oppa gangnam style
great point!
Absolutely.
I don’t think most people would kill for a loveless marriage
She leaving her phone is a big red flag. No way she would do that.
He is so stressed at the neighbours house, Im actually suprised he didn't decide to start fleeing.
I thought he was going to pass out.
I was SURE he was about to run when he fully turned around to the door
When Chris Watts told that disrespectful story about his wife defecating as he murdered her, he was actually describing shitting himself at Nate's house as the infamous driveway video was shown - in front of a police officer!
No wonder Twatts made such a hasty exit - he had to leave to change his underpants!
@@kaylanicole8726 Right?
@Char Siu He was certainly stressed enough to shit his pants! Can you imagine - hours earlier you murdered * three people (* four people, counting the unborn victim), and not only does your neighbour have video of you moving their dead bodies, a police bodycam records you watching that video evidence! It's hard to imagine a more stressful situation for a cowardly woman and child killer like that chickenshit Chris Watts.
For someone with the last name Watts, he isn't very bright. Imagine being a psychopath who's stupid? Oof.
Keep in mind because of Shanaann's friends tenacity, he didn't have time to "clean up." He literally returned to the crime scene with a cop next to him. Stop with Nikki helping him. With so much stuff like DNA, phone pings, cameras everywhere etc. don't you think cops would've gone after her?
@@laramie7252 he did.
I really think he was a "lone wolf" on this, even though he was less wolf & more...eh, Wile E. Coyote.
For the person saying that he didn't have the time he would've needed to clean up the crime scene as well as he planned to, or you at least implied as much, I think that he was so entirely full of himself, & thought he was so smart that if he didn't think he had done an excellent job, he would've either called out of work for the day to take care of it or at least called in & said he'd be late to finish off his plans. This was 1st degree, which means he planned it out, which means his plans were terrible, foolish, minimal, & simple like his brain. It all comes across in the moment he confesses, he doesn't see a way out so he goes with the first suggestion of the woman who gave him the polygraph... "Chris, did Shannan do something to those girls." Ding, lightbulb, gee I never even thought of that! What a great offramp for this shitshow highway! If you rely on the police to craft your false narrative as a means of covering up your crimes, you didn't plan beyond dumping the poor bodies & giving a cursory "good 'nuff" cleansing of the crime scene. He's a fool & a narcissist, which makes for not just a sandwich short at the picnic, but dude forgot the basket, both sandwiches & how to drive to the park across the street. IMO, of course.
@@deepstatethrombosis Wile E. Coyote lol, 😅👍

With the different versions of his confessions I believe the truth is far far worse.
OMG I thought the same thing at the beginning when all of this happened.
Agree
Agreed, very smart deduction. The only thing we can be sure of, is that Chris Watts has not yet told the whole truth about that night, and he never will. But unfortunately I believe we'll hear more of his murder stories before he dies.
All three versions he has told to date have been self serving in various respects. I will never believe he did not kill all three victims inside the house behind 4 walls, like almost every other cowardly family annihilator. The driveway video shows him taking three dead, not live victims to his truck IMO.
Shanann's father Frank was right in his courtroom victim impact statement when he told Watts: "I watched you carry them out like trash". At no point did CW or his team contradict a word of the prosecution's assertion he killed them all inside the family home.
There is no logical reason for CW to delay the children's murders as he claims. Indeed there's much more reason to believe he killed Bella and Cece first, before Shanann got home. He couldn't stand 'Those girls', as he kept calling them in horrible, distancing language. I think he was excited about his long-held 'D-Day' coming round and probably wanted to 'start the ball rolling', suffocating them on their mattresses soon after putting them to bed.
It would explain why Shanann said he sounded 'annoyed' when she told him of her very inconvenient, 3 hour flight delay - it was too late for him to postpone the mission and do it when he had more time, because he'd already killed the children.
And why did he tell his mistress in that late night, 111 minute call, that he'd washed his little girls' sheets, and that they "Stank"? It's suspicious he was laundering their bedclothes before Shanann came home. Did Bella, who'd suffered a violent struggle, and didn't wear nappies, defecate as she died?
@@glamdolly30 I don't think any of them defecated. I researched this and found it only happens in about 30% of suffocation and strangling cases. Also Cece wore pullups and that's what she was found in when they brought out the bodies. Bella wore underwear and was still wearing them when found. Shannan also was wearing underwear when found and nothing was mentioned in the autopsy reports. Shannan also had been unwell and barely eaten or drunk anything while in Arizona.. She was nauseous, dizzy and had migraines continually (I think he gave her another smaller dose of Oxy before she left for the airport). When the police arrived that first day they smelled nothing in the house. Not even on the bed sheet that was found in the kitchen trash. Or the pillow cases in there with it. The kids beds didn't even look like they had been slept in.
In 1979 when in labour with my third child they gave me an enema and because labour was slow to get started and my water had broken 10 hours before, they gave me induction drugs. Because of that they wouldn't let me go to the bathroom and I had to use a bedpan. It was like the bowels of Hell opening up.......and they couldn't get rid of the smell from my room even after a couple of hours so they sprayed the room and opened the windows.. All the windows and drapes in Watts home were closed.......If he did tell NK he had washed he kids sheets (she is a liar also and good at distracting the investigators away from subjects she doesn't want to go near)........the kids anyway had not been dead long enough to cause an obvious smell. My mother lay in state on her bed for 22 hours after she died and there was no smell. The funeral directors collected her from our house the next day. Her bowels and bladder didn't evacuate either. But she had cancer and ate barely anything for 6 months. So a lot depends what was eaten and when, how far digested it was......and that monster may have refrigerated or froze the little girls - researching fridge temperatures just hours before he killed them.....Yes, I believe he killed them hours before Shannan arrived home and she wasn't given a chance to check on them.
He wrote letters from prison that were made into a book where he tells an even worse story... They're pretty easy to find &made me feel sick to my stomach -esp the way he said he had to strangle his kids multiple times w/them regaining consciousness &walking in on him killing shannan, looking traumatized. He said he did it to be w/Nikki. Who knows what's the truth, tho.
Man the cuts of the kids and mom back when they were alive are heart-rending.
My friend did Shanann's hair for her wedding to this monster and my cousin worked with Chris at Anadarko. My friend said Shanann was a very sweet person. So horrible to think the man you sleep next to every night and trust to protect you could be such a psychopath under the surface.
They are very good at what they do
I don't find it that shocking anymore.

Neighbor Nate had his eyes on Chris the entire time! Nate knew Chris did it.
Yeah he was perceptive to that for sure. Nate seems like a straightforward, no BS kind of guy, and had to tell the policeman his thoughts because he knew something was off. The police will always listen to a next door neighbour like that, since they know the subject's baseline behaviour and mannerisms. I think the police officer knew something was up as well, but he hid his feelings, so as not to rattle Chris into leaving, shutting up or getting a lawyer.
Nate read Chris’ body language to a T!
look at those little babies... how could someone hurt them like that? it takes a special type of demon to commit something like this.
No doubt, what a suck twisted bastard
I heard after he killed them he had to break bones to try and stuff them into the oil tanker too because the opening was too small. Stuff the kids in different tankers and the mother in the ground separating them even after death which doesn’t seem that significant but those details just shows how evil, ruthless and psychotic he is

I kept saying the same thing like damn why the kids man. They didn’t do shit
@Rocknroll McLaughlinTM Yeah... you don't have to know children personally to feel terrible about their unjust and brutal murder.
I'm pretty sure before he loaded Shananns body in the truck he took her wedding ring off in the garage and put it in her car. When he got home he took it out of the car and put it upstairs like she left it. That is what he was doing in the car.
His reaction when he found out Shanann was pregnant was cringe worthy.

@@ericaonline3739 Yes. Very vile. Those texts Shanann sent to her friends the last week of her life are heartbreaking.

Exactly, I'm an Uber driver and at night I wait for passengers to get inside. Nikole is the friend we all want and need to be.
There's a difference between being a friend and being oddly invasive. The friend knew her passcode, when her doctor's appointments were, whenever she was coming or going...it obviously broke this case but it just seems a bit much to me.
@@hurricanecamille8089 That's a good point... also I think it is worth noting that Shannan seemed like an over-sharer. But assuming in a perfect world nobody was murdered... you're right... that's very CLOSE. None of my best friends ever knew my phone pass code. I know my husband's but my phone is unlocked because I'm lazy lol but if I had one, he'd know it.
damn right. i absolutely noticed the friend waited until she was in the house before driving off. that's a very caring friend.
@@hurricanecamille8089 I think NA was being extra cautious because of the way Chris had been acting towards Shanann for the last 6 weeks because he was too busy with that woman - I'll be nice here and not call her what I really want to call her. He treated SW like absolute dirt. He gaslighted her and had her so distraught NA and her Thrive friends had to literally make her eat and drink when they were in Arizona. NA knew Shanann was in mental distress, so that probably made her extra nervous. When NA found out SW missed that dr. appt., that was the last straw. She KNEW something was very wrong. Not too much if you look at the whole picture, IMO.

I think Nicole was the kind of person who felt a strong sisterhood with Shanaan. I think she disliked Watts because she sensed in him something really creepy. She was hyper-alert and protective. From looking at her she probably knew what cheating spouses were about, and why they cheat. She knew that Watts wasn't getting in hyper-shape for Shanaan. Yeah, Nicole, son & Nate were the best kind of friends and neighbors. They were nobody's fool. And though they were extremely worried they didn't seem surprised. It's like they knew Watts was an asshole.
If I thought my husband/wife was inside not responding I would demand the police officer to kick the door down!
Even when he plays with his kids is not really loving, the way he talks to them everything was as he was mimicking emotions, because he is unable to truly feel any emotions. A true sociopath

I really like how he combines the body cam footage with home video segments here and there. It really adds so many layers of emotion. Plus, Derek, your psychological analysis is amazing :)
If he didn't want a divorce because of the money why didn't he just run away to another state with his mistress? Why kill?!
He wanted the money he never earned, from his wife!
He didn't want to pay child support to a family he never wanted. Little did he know he didn't want a new life either, as if his new plan worked he'd probably grow to hate it and look for a new life with someone else. I think he looks for a person to take care of him but ends up resenting them. Unfortunately there's no way to verify this because he didn't have a pattern because he got caught. But I feel this person would do this multiple times if never stopped... and most likely never see anything wrong with it.
There's life insurance money of $450K on the three family members.
His mistress talks like a baby when she talks to him. When she talks to everyone else she’s like a dude.
Definitely. It appears she was disguising her voice, instead of her deep "dude " airhead voice, she changed it to sound like some giddy 12 yr old girl. Everything she did, down to how she changed her voice she did to manipulate him. And it worked.
His mistress is also a narcissist sociopath
"Hi, it's me, HEHEHEHEHE"

This second “confession “ is an absolute joke. He’s STILL lying. You can totally tell. Agent Coder keeps calling him out but he always says, “yes” it’s true. I’m glad he’s so dumb-he got caught early. He trying to hide that the murder was pre-meditated. Because we all know he’s guilty of planning ALL the murders. It was no “heat of passion”. But I have a feeling that the reasons he skates over some of the important parts, like what happened when he was on top of her and something held his hand around her neck, because the truth is so horrible that he won’t tell us.

No, you’re incorrect, close but incorrect. Psychopaths are COWARDS and want to ensure intended victims are helpless as quickly as possible with little/no chance of fighting back. Serial killers develop elaborate techniques to fool their victims into trusting them. What psychopaths enjoy is the pain, suffering, fear and control they have over their victims.
Well I'm sure being murdered was enough to wake her. Unfortunately.
I hate to tell you this, but if you think fighting back when a 200lb man is strangling a 115lb woman makes much of a difference, you're delusional. Stop watching television
I think so too. He didn’t have one scratch on him.
When the police officer asked if the separation was going civil he said, “it was going civil” in the past tense, before he corrected himself.
Time stamp?
But they used 'was' the suspition is actually that he corrects himself in this case...
Good catch.
He lied about that also.

@@mindfulnessd6012 how do you listen to audiobooks then
@@Onyxxu20 yess I agree! It’s like what about people who are deaf like it would help so much that they would feel included in some form of life I guess
The way he immediately puts his hands behind his head while they're watching the video is a clear indication of guilt. He's "surrendering" but he's also anxious so he's moving his body. Sheesh. This is just awful
I always put my hands behind my head! I've never killed anyone, I have no crimes committed that I need to "surrender" too!!
@@kanyebreast6072 people see what they want to see. I do that too.
Man.. the way you are showing the cop looking for them and then clips of when they were alive, is just heartbreakingly chilling
This was all because he didn’t want a divorce smh
Nah, its what comes after that he didnt want. Child Support and alimony. He didnt want to "take care" of his family anymore.
If his mistress helped him plan, it makes me wonder how she didnt feel uncomfortable because if he got tired of her and they had a family together he would do the same to her.
@TheDoubleLibra The dumbest human beast i have ever seen is chris watt!
i genuinely believe chris never loved those kids. you can just tell in the videos that shanaan took of them together
Of course he didn't actually love them, murder would never come into his mind.
@@snikrdoodls14 Exactly, especially behind a bitch.
Why is Chris constantly on the phone??!! Why don’t the police tell him to put his phone away and help find his wife????!!!!
And it's a nice excuse not to make eye contact, also a try to divert your attention and seem less distressed in body languange
It's great he was on his phone..he's too stupid to realize that cops can eventually find out who he's communicating with.
Some law enforcement officals are experts on reading body language too.
The body cameras cops wore were vital in this investigation.
Lots of video footage to study.
I cant get over how cool he was acting while questioned by the police in his house, just hours after the murders.
Unreal
@@notgonnagetmydata8221 Not really, it's more of a giveaway if anything. He was subconsciously self comforting and constantly trying to distance himself from the situation, which is very off, considering his WIFE and KIDS were "missing" this normally 90% of the time wouldn't be a subconscious reaction. Which is why he was suspected not only by the officer but his neighbors and friends during the scene.
He was being flooded with texts and calls from friends and family asking what was going on and he was probably replying pretending to ask if they happened to know where the girls were.
NK...
