Nicole Kissinger Chris's mistress only confirmed to police what they already suspected that Chris Watts was a liar a
cheater and likely disposed of his family to get rid of the inconvenience of being a husband and father Chris
agreed to take a polygraph test the results of the exam stated deception indicated Chris Watts was lying the
detectives in the room decided to go For Broke they told Chris that he failed they knew he was lying and it was time
to come clean then they pulled out a photo of his family this is when Chris confessed but
not to murder he told investigators that he was being untruthful and he hurt shenan
emotionally he told them he was having an affair for five or six weeks he told them he never felt about anyone the way
he felt about quote her he didn't want to tell the cops his lover's name right he wanted to keep her name out of it of
course the cops had already talked to Nicole at length Chris went on to say that his and shananne's life was totally
focused on the kids and he didn't feel as though he could be himself or the person that he
really was or who his wife needed him to be because he walked on eggshells around
her the investigators kept pushing Chris and they kept hoping that somewhere he has a conscience well they keep telling
him hey dummy you failed the test right we we asked you three questions and those three questions Chris did we
ask you about an affair did we ask you about your girlfriend no so you failed the test and for
whatever reason Chris is like trying to get them to convince well it's because I was holding that
back that that's why I I didn't pass the test but trust me yes did I hurt her emotionally yes but I did not I did not
hurt her physically but he also states that at some point maybe that his wife that he told his wife about the affair
and that that's why she ran off or some crazy nonsense like that well when he doesn't cave what the
interrogators do they try a new tactic and one of them asked Chris whether maybe shanan had quote done something to
the girls right one of the detectives even tells Chris that he worked a case where the mother smothered her two kids
because she didn't want her husband to be able to take them away from her and after first denying it it seems likely
that this concept gives Chris an idea because Chris asked to take a break and to talk to his father who was waiting
outside now his father Ronnie comes in and the detectives remind Chris that whatever they say will be recorded and
then they leave and Chris says to his dad in a quiet Broken Voice that he doesn't want to protect shenan he tells
Ronnie that after he left their conversation about separating and went downstairs he came back up to the master
bedroom for something and saw on the baby monitor that Bella was splayed out on her bed the monitor flipped to Cece's
room and Chris says he saw shanan sitting on top of CeCe strangling her he ran into the room and attacked shenan
and quote did the same thing to her he says it was over fast he had a lot of rage and shenan wasn't able to fight
back right he guessed that shenan must have just lost it he put shenan's body back on the master bed and covered her
up because he said he couldn't look at her and he felt horrible for what he did then he said he looked at his kids and
saw what she did now Ronnie is aghast at this news obviously he says my godson and puts his hand on Chris's arm right
Chris says he could tell the girls were dead because they were both blue he did not attempt CPR he did not call 9-1-1
instead he put the bodies behind the driver's seat this has been in the second row of his truck and disposed of
them so Chris puts the blame on shenan for killing the girls he says quote emotionally he must have drove her to do
something stupid he claims that she hadn't had a temper and would fly off the handle he implies that she was
unstable now we know Captain the the police already knew where the bodies were in
fact they were on site when one of them received a call that Chris confessed of course this is at the site that we
already discussed site number 319 where Chris went on August 13th what is incredible is how little time he
actually had there and how risky his dumping of the bodies was we know that he arrived on site at 6 53 a.m other
employees reported arriving before 7 30. Chris had been texting them and calling
them starting at 6 29 a.m to find out what time they would arrive it was broad daylight this gives Chris maybe 30
minutes to hide three corpses so how did he do it the answer is very quickly and
very sloppy now the two 400 barrel tanks on the site contained crude oil this is
a toxic chemical that exudes strong fumes Chris was an operator and was intimately familiar with these storage
tanks and how they worked the two tanks were next to each other and accessible from the top by climbing a narrow metal
staircase up the side of the tanks each tank had one eight inch wide Thief hatch
that's what they call them on top and it was into these two tanks that Chris dumped the bodies of his baby girls he
shoved three-year-old CC still wearing her pink 90 and pull up diaper into the hatch of one of the tanks leaving a
clump of hair on the hatch he shoved four-year-old Bella and her unicorn nightgown into the other Bella's body
had scratches on it from the hatch Chris said he could tell how much oil was in the tanks by the sound of the splashes
the girl's bodies made when investigators asked whether there was any way that the girls were still alive
when they hit the oil he said no no no no no no God no now Chris knew he couldn't fit shenan's
body into this little opening on the tank so he dug a hole in the ground near the tanks and he shoved his dead wife's
body into a fetal position into about 27 inches deep into the hole and covered her up with just three inches of dirt
meanwhile investigators at the site used a drone to do a flyover to get the lay of the
land and the drone camera showed them what appeared to be a sheet in the brush and a freshly Disturbed patch of dirt
there they found a broken rake two black trash bags and the fitted sheet matching
the missing one from the Watts bedroom right the sheet had clearly been used to drag a body as it was covered with dirty
drag marks and then dumped into the brush and haste Corners were called in and sure enough shenan was Unearthed
from the shallow grave we know that law enforcement knew the site the location and then at some point they actually
hold up a picture of the location of because they say hey we've been there earlier we here's some Drone footage and
by the way here's an overview where is your wife's body right and he points them out to him
but you have to know that the law enforcement that the the agent that said hey I once worked a case where the the
mother smothered the children and then that's the excuse he's using you you know that the agent's going this
is just [ __ ] yeah well and I mean he's placed under arrest for the murder of his wife on that night right and this
is after what we should refer to as his partial confession right and there is probably absolutely no doubt in any of
the investigators Minds at this point that Chris Watts was 100 guilty of killing his entire family yeah after all
his behavior was suspicious from the beginning he left a trail of evidence and he lied to police all right so when
does the confession part two take place well that's what's interesting here because this is not a whodunit you know
we all know that Chris Watts seemingly a loving father and adoring husband was actually a murderer the question in this
case is how much of a monster is he yeah how and why yeah did did he just snap and kill shenan in retaliation for her
murders of the girls as he has at times continued to claim or did he have some kind of mental break or as many believe
and as he ultimately pled guilty to did he actually kill not only his pregnant wife and fetus but both his daughters as
well and if so did he plan the whole event how much of his life was a lie and why would he do the unthinkable even if
Shannon drove him into a rage why did he kill his little girls as well so first of all the question about whether Chris
or shenan killed the girls Chris claims that his wife lost it killed the daughters after the separation
discussion right but investigators are not going to buy this for one thing Bella and CeCe were not strangled as he
stated that he saw on the monitor right and Chris's story shenan strangles them in a rage but the autopsy reports in the
death of both girl girls is very clear they died of asphyxiation due to smothering there were no finger or hand
marks around the girl's necks whatsoever Bella had struggled violently while she
was being smothered she bit through her tongue CeCe had no marks on her at all so according to
Chris he bit through her tongue but she also didn't she have separation of from her gums to her mouth yeah oh yeah on
the soft tissue inside the face there yeah um shenan could not have strangled either of them you know Chris is lying
about this and that's clear from the autopsy what is also totally and completely out of character for shenan
to have laid a finger on her girls you know further most women who kill their children have warning signs such as
depression anxiety and it the list goes on and on right shenan had none of these Chris's story was a
tale he invented an attempt to save his own skin he ended up pleading guilty to all three murders as well as unlawful
termination of a pregnancy in a plea deal that saved him from the death penalty to this day his mother still
alleges that shenan was the baby killer so now to our second question as to whether Chris Watts just snapped and
killed his entire family in a rage a blackout or a break with reality or did he plan to murder his family right
we may likely never know the answer to this for sure unless he speaks up at some point uh he has refused to address
any of this but most people seem to agree that yes the slaughter of the Watts family was premeditated this
includes the district attorney who made the plea deal with Chris whereby he pled
guilty to all three murders he said that the evidence does not point to a crime of passion driven by blind rage so what
points to premeditation First on that Friday before the murders the 10th Chris took the day off so he could care for
the girls why shenan headed to Arizona while he was meeting a co-worker Troy McCoy in a parking lot to exchange an
Amazon fire stick McCoy received a call from a colleague named Cody Roberts indicating that there was a possible
slow leak at the 319 site and asking if someone could head out there on Monday Chris overheard McCoy's conversation
with Roberts and he volunteered quickly that he could go out there and take care
of it he knew it was a one-person job and that the other employees would not be present further he then text Cody
Roberts on Sunday August 12th at 5 06 PM this is during a birthday party where he
was at with his girls this is to confirm that he would be heading out to the site
on Monday morning and then he would report back he said no reason for the both of them to go Roberts later
remarked that it was unheard of for Chris to make contact on a weekend Chris also later told Nicole in a two-hour
phone call on the night of the 12th during which shenan was trying to call him from the airport that he would not
be into the office in the morning as usual this would avoid him having to go into the office first which is his usual
Mo and would give him time alone at the very remote site another thing Nicole Kissinger stated
that on the rare occasions that the two went out in public Chris always paid with cash or Anadarko gift cards but on
that Saturday night August 11th when Chris told shenan he was at the Rockies game and he and Nicole actually went to
the lazy dog he casually charged dinner for two on shenan's joint credit card but if he's planning to murder her and
this is premeditated murder he knows he's not going to have to answer for these charges or won't care that he did
this well he is also fine with racking up almost a half a million dollars in debt and filed bankruptcy the other
thing too and this is more speculation you know I know it's all speculation but this seems a little more questionable
there's something that's been referred to as the creepy doll photo this is a quite the weird one but on August 9th
Chris texted his wife a photo of a three foot long human looking doll la lying on
the sofa in the house covered with what looks like a white sheet I guess it's actually a twister mat Chris said that
the girls did it when they were playing but could this have been some kind of sick you know joke that only Chris would
understand or some kind of weird warning um this is this image is one of the last
to appear on shenan's Facebook page she actually replies I don't know what to think about this
and then it's the the crying laughing emoji so that's very strange the final thing
that points to premeditation is the manner of the killings you know remember the D.A said that Chris had not killed
in Rage as he claimed this is because the evidence shows that the two girls were smothered separately one at a time
which takes patience and perseverance experts say it takes three to four minutes to kill someone in this manner
and Chris as we know made sure that they were really dead smothering the girls until they were blue he wasn't rushing
around bashing people over the head or stabbing them the the girls had no marks on their bodies
you know practically anywhere and as for shenan she had no bruises marks or wounds on her body the characteristic of
a rage attack right she was systematically and deliberately strangled to death with the only marks
left behind being finger marks on her throat we don't know where shenan was killed the the sofa in the loft or in
the bedroom but I believe it was upstairs as the motion detectors in the home show no Motion in the house until 4
23 a.m when we know Chris was waking up to make his Thrive shake and packing his
lunch for the day we don't know exactly how she was killed you know was she attacked from behind or while she slept
but remember there were no defensive wounds right we don't even know for sure the order of
the killings no where the girls killed before shanan arrived home I I think that this might be unlikely Captain as
there's a chance that shenan may have noticed that they were dead but perhaps I mean I don't know it's tough to it's
tough to figure out what was going in that home I was actually speculating that he did it he actually killed his
daughters first and maybe and then waited for her kept them in their rooms or or tucked away somewhere yeah because
she gets home around two mm-hmm so you're talking about it's only a couple hours a few hours
before he leaves to put them in their resting spots you know what's what's weird here too
amongst all this other chaos um there were some of his friends that came forward to state that it it may
have been a rage because they felt that Chris was smart and that if he planned the whole thing he likely would have
never got caught yeah but just because you wear glasses doesn't make you smart I mean a lot of people assume people are
look I think the fact that he's telling his work hey I'm not going to be in tomorrow I'm going to go to the job site
first and that site was the resting spot to me that's that kind of shows the whole plan laid out like yeah
not just like well I I figured out how to dump them later because I knew I was going there anyways so I should just
dump them there right but to me that's very calculated so that's where I I lean towards the fact that he he
killed his daughters first because hey I gotta get this done and then she gets home and then I gotta kill her and then
I gotta get them all ready to get them out to this job site right and I think you're right I think the the taking on
that job at the last minute and really pushing that he be the only one at that job site that points the most to me as
premeditation the thing I think here regardless of how smart some of his friends may think he is and if he were
capable of getting away with it because it looks to me like his plan was to dispose of their bodies there and then
it's after work go home clean up the house remove shenan's belongings and probably some of the children's
belongings he's likely going to want to make it look like they were either taken
from some you know by someone or that they left on their own and his his whole Alibi is well I was gone at
work the whole day while they either took off on their own or somebody got to them right what he didn't plan for was
her friend being so concerned that she dropped by the house and as you said gut feeling raise the alarm you know and
called police stopped by the doctor's office to see that she had not in fact shown up for her 10 o'clock appointment
[Music] thank you foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] we're back cheers Nate cheers Captain
the other thing we got to call in a question here is motive or how much of a motive there was for these murders why
did it happen at all I mean we know the obvious reasons right the affair maybe wanting
out of his marriage uh but was there also a financial motive you know you talked about some of the
problems they were having yeah and in fact Nicole kessinger told police that Chris was very stressed out about money
now we know that shenan handled the finances but there were definitely Financial issues that's what he said
yeah that's what he says right uh we know that there were Financial issues going on in fact finances were the one
thing that anyone who knew the couple well said that they argued about now the Watsons filed for bankruptcy in 2015.
they were 448 thousand dollars in debt Chris had to sell his car since the bankruptcy case closed in October of
2015 they got themselves into financial trouble again at the time of shenan's death this is so
ridiculous because first of all the fact the fact that we live in a country that
you can rack up almost 500 000 worth of debt a debt that that will be wipe clean
yeah you're gonna lose a couple of your items but there's a four hundred thousand dollar house that you live in
that they didn't take away that they still got to live in I mean it's just that's ridiculous to me
well at the time of of her death at the time of you know this murder their credit cards were pretty much maxed out
you know with with eight thousand to ten thousand dollar balances well no [ __ ]
because if you file bankruptcy and you have to pay it back the first time what makes you think that you're gonna have
to pay it back the second time it turns out there are largest creditors were Toys R Us and Ford Motor Company
the mortgage on the 400 000 house was sizable with a monthly payment of 207 sorry two thousand seven hundred dollars
Chris says shenan wanted the house he wanted to downsize they hadn't paid their mortgage in three months and
received a delinquency letter from Chase now even though shenan at some point took ten thousand dollars out of Chris's
401k to pay mortgage payments right Chris told Nicole the couple was quote house poor and that their lifestyle was
not sustainable yeah he had life insurance policies on both the girls for twenty five thousand dollars each and
then on shenan it looks like there was it I have a little question on what the amount was for shanann but I saw reports
of as little as fifty thousand dollars all the way up to a hundred thousand dollars
but still that might not have been the motive as far as the insurance policy right because maybe that gets you a
little bit out of debt but it's also if he is telling the truth which who I don't believe him about [ __ ] really but
if he's saying look she controlled the finances and and she pulled money and she charged things if she wanted to
his motive his motive could have just been to stop the financial bleeding and she's the one causing the financial
bleeding in his mind yeah I mean he would tell people that she was an overspender
and he made references to her shopping habits saying that she you know she had to have everything that she saw and she
needed to purchase a lot of things to look like the perfect family yeah there's a lot of keeping up with the
Joneses here and a lot of fake narrative well and the girls went to a private school which was rather pricey was like
500 a week and I think that was per child and then we have a third child on the way
I guess there was a uh expensive neck surgery which was likely I mean necessary and needed possibly but again
what what if there is some hint of like hypochondriac right and it's like this surgery that you don't really need but
you have convinced everybody else that you need it and I know that seems extreme
but I've heard of cases married couple that the wife goes to Mexico to get stuff removed because they
won't remove it in the States because that's how delusional she got about her which is a hypochondriac well this
surgery was for a compressed disc it cost a hundred thousand dollars with their insurance and they owed 25 000 out
of pocket I'm sure you know some of this was covered somewhere along the way we don't need to get too far into that but
they had outstanding student loans I mean it's just it's it it's on and on and on and on and on
but either way I mean you're you're in a marriage that maybe you fall out of love
you're in a marriage that the person's spending a lot more money you're not managing your money correctly you
already went bankrupt this is no reason for murder well of course you know you have a mistress no
reason for murder there's no reason to take your chat your children's life right I mean it's just
I understand his parents trying to find excuses and his parents trying to find something
that makes sense and it might be possible that he was under so much stress that he just
stabbed but snapped for a period not killed these people in Rage but snapped in a period And if I do this and I kill
them this will be all over with well it is all over with well and I mean his mother for the longest time and I
believe still to this day you know but regardless but for the longest time she was standing behind the
idea that shenan was responsible for the deaths of the two girls right and then Chris retaliated that he that he went
and then killed her you know now I mean obviously there's no motive great enough
we're just exploring what these possibilities are because there are you know throughout history and we've talked
about several of them on this show there are what law enforcement deem and title
um family annihilators and Chris Watts to me fits this profile like a lot of the stuff going on in his world now
these are choices he made this isn't he's not a victim here these this isn't [ __ ] that just started happening to him
these are all choices he made as a grown man but things going on in his world he's not a man but you know what I mean
whatever but but the things going on in his life at the time of these murders it all
seems to fit stories that we've heard before in similar situations with these family annihilators I mean very much so
like the Scott Pearson case I mean so much so and I I don't know if I want to spoil this but
his we have the Google searches from the girlfriend right Nicole and before she goes to the police
I think it's before she goes to the police she Googles Scott Peterson yeah yeah and Scott Peterson's mistress
and then this this is this is Eerie to me and there's something really wrong here
and this makes me it makes me question even more because she Googles one do people like
Scott Pearson's mistress anymore do they hate her right right but she oh Amber fry yeah Amber fry yeah she yeah and I'm
sorry to laugh but I thank God I'm able to because I this is a heavy case man a heavy heavy case and I just needed that
little that little sigh of relief there after some of the stuff that we've discussed here but like you said man she
is searching whether people still hated or whether people hated Amber Frye yeah and I look is that uh is that a
reasonable thing to search yeah okay I'm gonna I'll give it to you because you're going to the cops right
this is before you go to the cops and you go I was with this married man I knew it was wrong uh I didn't think he
was going to kill her I didn't think he was going to kill his daughters how cute is it now that he's a father
right right so she has to go to the cops is it that wrong that she searches that because if
this hits the media like it's already has but if it blows up like the Chris um like the Scott Peterson case
are people going to hate me okay I'll give you that one but when you Google how much Amber fry got for her book deal
oh yeah yeah use a giant flaming pile of [ __ ] and and then I think she did a big article on People
magazine oh I didn't see that how much you get paid for that one yeah you giant piece
of [ __ ] like look you should not be a okay there's a crime here did you cause the crime now but you're
part of it and if you're a part of it you shouldn't get paid for anything that's the way it should work oh you I
mean they might have paid her a million dollars to do a story with People magazine do
you deserve a million dollars you have giant pile of dog [ __ ] no you don't you're a scumbag for sleeping with the
married man your your scumbag once you find out that she's pregnant I mean the more and more
she find out about it at some point you should cut this off you're part of the problem if if there's
like you said if there is this new term which eventually maybe we'll get to maybe
we'll have this thing where it's you know a guy gets himself into this situation he he becomes a family
Annihilator new term that's not a new term no what I'm saying is like I mean what what yeah but you're identifying
like a couple people but what I'm saying is like do they have like a clear definition of
like what causes one of these individuals well no they just fall into a category you know you have serial
murders you have mass murders you have family annihilators uh the list goes on and on right but what I'm saying is that
if you're the mistress then you're again you're a part of the problem and by being part of the problem you shouldn't
profit off this yeah and where I mean where someone might be able to argue Google searching
whether Amber or Frye is a hated person or still hated person might look as maybe she could be another victim in
this whole mess but like you said the the checking out the how much money did Amber Fry's book deal amount to is
something completely different no and then look on top of that if you just look at the two cases I mean Amber Frye
did not know Scott Pearson was not married in her mind was not told that he was married
this you know it's a whole different thing with Nicole you work with this guy you know he's married he's telling you
he's separated well she attempted to delete every trace of her relationship with Chris from her phone before she
went to police and you know on Monday afternoon when she you know got word that Shannon and the girls were missing
she ran Google search for can cops Trace text messages and then another for how long do cell phone companies keep text
messages yeah and like I said I mean it's one of those things where the part of me does feel bad for
but when you're searching that stuff it's almost like okay well I'm going to go to the cops hey is there any way I
can make a profit off this like come on be better than that you're better than that
well on on that night Chris Watts brought his little girls home from a birthday party they had pizza and candy
and facetimed Chris's dad then Chris showered both girls gave them a bedtime snack and put them to bed he
was seen grilling alone in his backyard at around 7 15 p.m he spoke with Nicole for two hours that night ignoring calls
from shenan at the airport in Arizona and then texted his wife at 11 21 PM holy crap sorry I passed out on the
couch shenan entered the home at 1 48 a.m what exactly happened after that we will likely never know but what we do
know is that sometime between 1 48 a.m and 5 27 a.m by then all three were murdered by the man that was supposed to
love them the most or go and protect them yes or at least the the man that they likely loved the most
on November 6 2018 three months after annihilating his family Chris Watts pled guilty to nine felonies three counts of
first degree murder two counts of murdering a child one count of unlawful termination of a pregnancy and three
counts of tampering with a deceased human body in court he was forced to say guilty allowed nine times
calling the crime the most inhumane and vicious he had ever seen in his career the judge sentenced Chris Watts to five
terms of life without parole once again the whole sentencing is on video you can
watch every second of it well in a nice irony uh here's something that I found to be a
little interesting all right Chris Watts who murdered his wife and children and one of the reasons may have been because
he was tired of being regimented and directed you know his whole life was documented on social media his wife
called the shots and his work documented every move he made in his vehicle well he's now sitting in a prison being told
what to do every minute of the day and he'll never have to worry about money again if that was one of the motives
right except that he is being forced to pay restitution to his wife's family so he will have to work that off in prison
and in Colorado thanks to him the proposed Nico's law will make killing an unborn baby a first degree murder
yeah it should be and but I've also heard a lot of rumors that it's not going to be nice for uh
Chris in prison it's not going to be just sleeping in having a good time cable TV having a good time well I think
no no what I mean by that is like prison prison sucks but what I've heard is that
um they've had to take they were taking precautions early on because when the prisoners found out where he was staying
they were getting excited they want to get to them oh yeah because not only He's A Marked Man yeah you killed these
innocent children and he killed your unborn baby I mean you you're you're beyond a piece of [ __ ]
I mean well I I hope him and Casey Anthony just burn in hell well and I'd piss I'd piss on their
graves and I'll tell you that in a sick irony Chris Watts has been receiving hundreds
of letters from romantic admirers in prison those are those are a bunch of little pieces of [ __ ] these are love
letters and sexy photos sent to uh an admitted family Annihilator yeah yeah I mean
that scumbag are you save that information let me let me show you my titties you scumbag I mean come on they
shouldn't allow that stuff anyways I I you lost your you lost any privilege you lost your damn freedom because you
took somebody else's life so you lost your privilege to get any letter or mail from some sicko that wants to go Oh I
thought he was pretty cute yeah pretty cute till he suffocates you well I never understood I never
understood that I I never losers I never will now on the other end of the spectrum we have Nicole kessinger who
has apparently received so many death threats that it's been reported that she is being provided with Federal
Protection and possibly maybe she might get a new identity well and as like I said as much as I don't like the Google
searches you know uh I I do feel bad that she got mixed up in this but again you know sometimes you pay for your
actions you you pay for your decisions and so think about this you know you these people sometimes think it's just
you know I'm at work here's this guy he's married maybe he's separated maybe he's not he's given me a little
attention I like that well be careful for what you wish for because something that you just think is
good that feeds your ego a little bit could wrap you up in a mess that you don't want to be involved in well I take
some satisfaction captain and I'm pissed off man I take some satisfaction in the
fact that the the people that seem to for whatever reason there is and there's no good ones admire Chris
Watts the individuals that want to harm him and cause him pain they are the ones
on the inside with him and they are the ones closest to him foreign [Applause] [Music]
