  • Shannan Watts was a devoted mother to two little girls with another on the way, who once said of her husband Chris “I love this man more than words can say! He’s my Rock, my love, my biggest fan, supporter and my husband! I couldn’t have handpicked a better man to call my husband and father to our girls!”
    Chris in turn appeared to be a devoted husband and father with videos of him teaching his daughters how to read and enjoying family holidays and outings.
    So what went wrong and how did Shannan end up buried in a shallow grave near a property owned by Anadarko Petroleum, with their two little girls discovered nearby submerged in crude oil tanks.

    A truly horrific case. A father/husband is supposed to protect his family, not hurt them. Chris was the definition of a MONSTER. Do you think Nichol knew more than she was letting on, or do you think she, too, was a victim?

      He was given the "Reid Technique", wherein law enforcement suggests a lesser scenario in order to get him to admit ending his wife. Eventually, he gave a true account about doing it to all of them. This is a common law enforcement tactic, designed to get him to admit that he did kill her, whilst he later admitted to the whole truth.

    The mistress didn’t come forward until their co-worker told the police of the affair. She told Chris and her friend to delete their texts about Chris. So she got rid of evidence before going to the police. She has been caught in multiple lies to the police. I think she definitely knew more than she said. Plus her Dad was allowed in the interview and he isn’t police or an attorney. And he basically shut the interview down when he thought it was accusing Nicole of something.
    The guy the police was lying and caught him in several lies. I think he just wanted fame.

      There's quite a few videos on RUclips about the mistress. At the least, she knew what he was gonna do and helped him hide or conceal evidence. Worst case, she may have actively participated in the murders. According to a cellmate of Chris', he told him that he killed Shannon and his mistress killed the kids because he couldn't bring himself to do it. In her police interview you can see how much she hated and was jealous of Shannon, even after it was known that her and the kids were dead, she wouldn't refer to Shannon by name, just as "her" and "his wife". As soon as Chris found out she was being questioned he confessed and shut down the whole investigation. She absolutely knows more than she's told investigators.

      You just nailed it! So, I’m 61 years old. I’ve been a mommy for 43 years, and a grandmother for 24 years. I would have cried anyway, but you’re so right, once you have your own child you suddenly understand things about love and protection that no words could ever express. This is kind of a stupid parallel, but there’s that one scene in ‘Kill Bill’ where Uma Therman is fighting Lucy Lu in the bedroom, like all hell, but then they suddenly stop, and stare each other down, and one of them says something about the fact that, because she’s pregnant and carrying a baby, she’s “ *the most dangerous woman in the world right now* “ It always gave me the chills, cuz I’m not even kidding.. I took motherhood that seriously, and adored and protected my kids like a wild savage animal! My mind just cannot comprehend what it must have taken for Chris to do this to his little girls. I can’t help but think of Shanann laying in the dirt in her bra and panties and tshirt while Chris is choking and dumping her little girls into those tanks. Till my dying day, I will always believe that NK helped Chris kill Shanann that night. No way did she lay there and just let it happen. No damn way.

This one has always struck me with this overwhelming surreality bc it’s just so incomprehensible that it doesn’t feel real. Instead of instinctually protecting your precious, vulnerable family you exploit the trust they implicitly have in you by carrying out monstrous acts of the most unforgivable depravity.

      This mindset is dumb. You work on the speculation that there is some sort of punishment awaiting him after death. As far as Im concerned, theres nothing. As in his punishment ends the moment he dies. Do you realize just how torturous a life sentence is? Especially considering this guy likely gets a lot of solitsry confinement due to a risk of other inmates going after him. He will never know a moment of peace again, his mental integrity will degrade into goop due to a life of repetition and no socialization. That is far worse than death. Even if there is punishment after death, guess what? He will eventually keel over and die on his own to meet that. Meaning why not get a little Punishment on our own before he leaves.
      Death penalty is a childish desire as you just want instant satisfaction. Guys like this dont deserve instant death. They deserve a torturous drug out death

    Soon after I qualified as an engineer and Tec collage was over.
    About the year 20000 time I saw in the local paper, that a guy had killed his Wife , 2 Children and the pet dog.
    I was shocked to see a photo of the Guy, Phil Austin as the Murderer, it was the same person I was at Technical college.
    I wouldn't believe that if I was told at the time I was at Collage, that he would kill his family, didn't seem to be a bad person.

    I cant watch this kind of stuff it makes me not ever want to trust anyone I ever date. These stories will always hang in the back of my mind no matter how much I love and believe in my significant other, I will truly never be able to fully trust anyone.

      They knew each other from work, but Watts let his libido get the better of him when he decided to pursue this chippie and start the affair. Watts wiped out his entire family, just to be with his co-worker.

      She was the catalyst to an already deeply seeded mound of resentment and loathing for his family. She was the out to an already ill man.

    This is the first video I’ve ever watched start to finish on this particular case. It’s just too heartwrenching and literally makes me want to expel my stomach contents. Shannan was innocent. He couldn’t just stop with killing her, he killed his unborn child as well as his two daughters for a f-girl. Not that there’s ever any logic that could excuse what he did, but he literally killed his children for another woman?! He’s shit and deserves the death penalty. Not that that’s even fair in comparison to the pain he’s caused and the hell he brought upon shannans family as well as his own. They deserved to grow with these girls/shannan. Shannan deserved to live, and those kids were only babies. This dude deserves a lifetime of torture. How can he even call himself a man? He’s a monster

    The letter she wrote to him broke my heart she's poured her heart out to him in every way she evidently wanted to make it work she literally loved this man and was willing to do whatever she needed to make it work and he still didn't want to honor his vows he wanted to continue doing what he was doing. He was too wrapped up in his messy affair he created. So sad some people aren't dedicated enough to give their MARRIAGE a chance vows and family meant nothing to this man SEX and LUST were clearly more important.
