- 3:46married in 2012 they lived in Colorado
- 3:48and they had two little girls Bella who
- 3:50was 4 years old and Celeste who's 3
- 3:52years old they had a picture perfect
- 3:54marriage shenan was very active on
- 3:56social media and posted videos all of
- 3:58the time of them as a family singing
- 4:00happy joking around together she even
- 4:02posted a video about how she and Chris
- 4:04met and how he slid into her DMS and
- 4:05friend requested her on Facebook years
- 4:07ago how she didn't think anything of it
- 4:09and then bam now here they are and
- 4:10they're married and they have two kids
- 4:12so really from the outside a perfect
- 4:14love story but things aren't always what
- 4:15they seem are they on August 13th 2018
- 4:18shanan returned home from a business
- 4:19trip in Arizona and Chris was at home
- 4:21with the girls it was a solo work trip
- 4:23for her and she came home about 1:45
- 4:25a.m. the next morning a colleague of
- 4:26hers became concerned because shenan had
- 4:28missed an OB appointment and she was 15
- 4:30weeks pregnant she also was failing to
- 4:32return any text messages and this was
- 4:33very much unlike shenan so her friend
- 4:35went to shanann's house at noon to check
- 4:37in to make sure everything's okay maybe
- 4:39she overslept and no answer she ends up
- 4:42calling Chris and before even asking
- 4:44Chris to notify the police she just
- 4:45takes it upon herself because she knew
- 4:47it was so out of character for shanan
- 4:48that she's like no I'm calling the
- 4:50police something's going on here at 1:40
- 4:52p.m. an officer arrived to do a wellfare
- 4:53check and Chris was now back at the
- 4:55house at this point as well and Chris
- 4:57allowed the officer to come in search
- 4:58for information see what he could find
- 5:00anything to determine okay where is
- 5:02shanan and our two little girls none of
- 5:04the family was found and police found
- 5:06her purse her wedding ring her car was
- 5:09there which still had the girl's car
- 5:11seats in it and her cell phone which was
- 5:12in her purse very unlike her everything
- 5:14is showing that she should have been at
- 5:16the house because all of her belongings
- 5:17were still there and the girl's
- 5:19belongings so where was this family the
- 5:21next day the FBI joined the
- 5:22investigation and Chris gives this huge
- 5:24interview on the news pleading for them
- 5:26to come home for their safe return just
- 5:28an outpouring of love and support from
- 5:30the community trying to find his
- 5:32pregnant wife and their two little girls
- 5:34at every light in the house on I was
- 5:36hoping that I would just get just ran
- 5:39over by the kids running in the door and
- 5:40just like Barrel rushing me but it
- 5:42didn't happen and it was just a
- 5:44traumatic night trying to be here I just
- 5:46I just want them to come back as the
- 5:48police are doing their investigation on
- 5:50the property and around the neighborhood
- 5:52a neighbor comes out and says you know
- 5:53what I've actually got video cameras on
- 5:55my property do you want to come in and
- 5:56take a look they're always recording and
- 5:58maybe I caught something so officers are
- 6:00like of course yeah let's go take a look
- 6:02and Chris comes along as well because he
- 6:04of course wants to see what it is as the
- 6:05officer the neighbor and Chris are
- 6:06inside the neighbors house watching this
- 6:08footage Chris's Behavior starts to
- 6:09become very concerning the footage shows
- 6:11Chris backing his truck up in the middle
- 6:13of the night into the garage and he
- 6:16quickly starts getting fidgety trying to
- 6:17explain it away saying how there's been
- 6:19a string of break-ins recently all of
- 6:21these things but just his behavior you
- 6:22can see he's just moving and twitching
- 6:24and he can't sit still once the footage
- 6:26is over the officer and Chris go to
- 6:28leave the house and the neighbor pulls
- 6:29the officer back and says hey he's not
- 6:31acting right because the neighbor knew
- 6:33something was up with his behavior and
- 6:34he said he's usually cool calm collected
- 6:37he isn't acting right something's up his
- 6:39info real
- 6:42quick
- 6:44[Applause]
- 6:47no which immediately of course piqued
- 6:50the interest of the police officers the
- 6:52police bring chrison for questioning
- 6:53which they so often do with spouses and
- 6:55they also ask him to take a polygraph
- 6:57test which he fails so after he fails
- 6:59they really start pressing him what was
- 7:01going on in the marriage were you guys
- 7:03fighting and as they continue to push
- 7:05Chris finally admits that he was having
- 7:07an affair he says it was just an affair
- 7:09it didn't mean anything I love my wife I
- 7:11would never be involved in something
- 7:13like this I would never hurt my children
- 7:15and just keeps denying denying denying
- 7:17then the officers very very smart
- 7:19officers decide you know what we're
- 7:21going to bait him a little bit we're
- 7:22going to see if we can give him just
- 7:24enough rope to hang himself and that's
- 7:25what they did they said Chris look you
- 7:28failed the polygraph you you were having
- 7:29an affair your stories aren't adding up
- 7:32we have this footage of you backing your
- 7:34truck up into the garage in the middle
- 7:35of the night things aren't looking right
- 7:37so just tell us the truth and so they
- 7:39ask did you see shanan hurt the girls
- 7:41and then did you go after her to try to
- 7:43retaliate trying to bait him to see if
- 7:45there was some sort of justification for
- 7:46what he did and it worked and Chris says
- 7:49he saw shenan strangle the girls on a
- 7:52baby monitor and kill them and so in a
- 7:54fit of rage and retaliation he jumps up
- 7:57on top of her and strangles her and then
- 7:59he admits to disposing of all of the
- 8:01bodies but again says he was doing it
- 8:03simply because he saw shanan murder the
- 8:05girls and he blew up and saw red and
- 8:07didn't know what came over him and that
- 8:08he had to just clean everything up
- 8:10meanwhile as this interview is going on
- 8:12investigators learned that the truck he
- 8:13was driving was a work truck of his
- 8:15which also happens to have GPS his
- 8:17employer gave the police the GPS records
- 8:20so as they were doing this interview
- 8:21they were L out to an oil site which is
- 8:23where Chris's truck went that morning in
- 8:25the interview they bring this picture of
- 8:26the oil site to Chris and they say are
- 8:28the bodies here show me where they are
- 8:30he points to two large oil tanks and
- 8:32says each daughter is in one of the oil
- 8:34tanks and then he points to the ground
- 8:36nearby and says shanan who remember was
- 8:3815 weeks pregnant shenan and baby Nico
- 8:41The Unborn Child are buried there he's
- 8:43immediately arrested on suspicion of
- 8:45three counts of first degree murder the
- 8:47next morning on August 16th the team
- 8:49goes out to the oil site to try to
- 8:51recover the bodies this team had to
- 8:52climb into the oil tanks to retrieve
- 8:55these two little girls and then go to
- 8:57where pregnant shanan was buried and dig
- 8:59her up at this point the affair comes
- 9:01out everybody knows Chris is guilty he
- 9:03knows that this whole story of shenan
- 9:05strangling the girls is never going to
- 9:07fly and nobody's believing it so his
- 9:09defense attorney proposes the idea of
- 9:11you know what Chris will plead guilty as
- 9:13long as you take the death penalty off
- 9:14the table and a few short months later
- 9:16on November 6th they accept the plea
- 9:18deal and he pleads guilty 2 weeks later
- 9:20is the sentencing and it is a media
- 9:22frenzy both families are there
- 9:25everybody's emotionally invested in this
- 9:26case Chris is allowed the opportunity to
- 9:28speak and to address the room and
- 9:30address the court he doesn't like a
- 9:32coward he gets sentenced three life
- 9:34sentences plus 86 years for the unlawful
- 9:37termination of their unborn child four
- 9:39months later out of nowhere Chris
- 9:41reaches out to the original
- 9:42investigators and says you know what I'm
- 9:43going to answer your questions and I'm
- 9:45ready to speak so they want to take this
- 9:47opportunity and learn okay what was the
- 9:49truth we know your story in the
- 9:50beginning was complete [ __ ] but what
- 9:52really happen he starts explaining to
- 9:54them that he's been a go with the flow
- 9:56kind of guy his entire life he's never
- 9:57had a temper that he and shannan's
- 10:00marriage there was never any sort of
- 10:01domestic and that things were always
- 10:03happy and then his story starts turning
- 10:05a little bit and he starts saying how he
- 10:06started to resent her because he hated
- 10:08being in all these social media posts
- 10:10that she would do related back to her
- 10:12work and that he supported her so he did
- 10:14it but that he really hated feeling like
- 10:15he was always put on stage and he
- 10:17explains that's how the affair really
- 10:18started and that when she got back from
- 10:20her work trip that night she suspected
- 10:22something was going on she initiated sex
- 10:24with him and he says he did it and he
- 10:26felt like it was a test to see if he
- 10:27really was cheating or not and just that
- 10:29she really knew something was up then he
- 10:31explains how he told her that he doesn't
- 10:33love her anymore he wanted a divorce and
- 10:35in retaliation she says well you will
- 10:37never see the girls again and then he
- 10:39says it was that comment that sprung him
- 10:41into action where he just jumped on top
- 10:43of her and started strangling her but
- 10:46then as he's recounting all these events
- 10:47he slips and he actually says he already
- 10:50had it in his mind that he was going to
- 10:52do it so it wasn't something that just
- 10:53came over him in the Heat of the Moment
- 10:55he knew that he was going to be doing
- 10:57this he says he looks to the bedroom
- 10:58door and he sees 4-year-old Bella
- 11:00standing there and she says what's wrong
- 11:02with Mommy and he says she's just not
- 11:04feeling well then he carries the two
- 11:06little girls downstairs loads them in
- 11:07the truck brings shanann's dead body
- 11:09into the truck and they head for the oil
- 11:12site when they get to the oil site he
- 11:13says he takes three-year-olds to L baby
- 11:15blanket and smothers her to death with
- 11:17it all while Bella was watching then
- 11:18Bella turns to him and asks him daddy
- 11:21are you going to do the same thing you
- 11:22just did to Cece to me I mean this is
- 11:26heartbreaking she's a young girl she's 4
- 11:28years old but she is aware of what's
- 11:29going on he says that he takes the
- 11:31blanket and he does the same thing to
- 11:33Bella and he says her last words were no
- 11:36Daddy he drops the two girls in the oil
- 11:38tanks not even together in two separate
- 11:40tanks and he buries his pregnant wife in
- 11:43the shadows of the oil tanks in a dirt
- 11:45patch this guy is a heartless sociopath
- 11:49now they finally have his True
- 11:50Confession the story is out there people
- 11:52know what happens so there can be some
- 11:53sort of level of closure but sure enough
- 11:56he starts talking again just a short
- 11:58time later and this time time he unloads
- 12:00even more Bombshells as he's being
- 12:02interviewed he says all I could feel was
- 12:04that at that moment I was free to be
- 12:06with Nikki his mistress he says my
- 12:08feelings of love for her were so
- 12:10overwhelming I felt No Remorse he goes
- 12:12on to say he was desperate for Nicole to
- 12:14bear his only son and hated the idea
- 12:18that shenan was pregnant with their son
- 12:20so before he killed her he actually had
- 12:22tried to poison her to force a
- 12:23termination and then he goes and
- 12:25recounts the morning of the murder and
- 12:27he releases even more information that
- 12:29he didn't release before and this time
- 12:32it is even beyond what we all thought he
- 12:34says on the morning of August 13th
- 12:36before he even had this argument with
- 12:37shenan or told her that he wasn't in
- 12:39love with her anymore he went over to
- 12:41the girl's bedroom he says he used a
- 12:43pillow from their beds to smother them
- 12:45and kill them after he left the girl's
- 12:47room he climbed back into bed with
- 12:48shanan and that's when the argument
- 12:50started after he murdered shanan he
- 12:52looked to the bedroom door and he saw
- 12:54little Bella standing there which is
- 12:55true because he even said this in his
- 12:56earlier confession however he said I
- 12:59didn't know how she was standing there
- 13:00alive I had just killed her in CeCe
- 13:03Their Eyes Were bruised and looked as
- 13:05though they had just been through some
- 13:06kind of trauma and I knew I had failed
- 13:08and I had to do it again what by the
- 13:11grace of God your two little girls just
- 13:13survived this horrific attempted murder
- 13:15he goes on to say he threw shanann's
- 13:17body into the shallow hole that he dug
- 13:18for her and she landed face down but
- 13:21that at that point he hated her so much
- 13:23he wasn't going to bother flipping her
- 13:24over this guy is so disgusting as he
- 13:28discusses is how he got rid of the two
- 13:30little girls bodies he says he was
- 13:31forced to shove their bodies through an
- 13:338 in hole in those oil tanks and he says
- 13:36quote I can't believe how easy it was to
- 13:39just drop her and let her go in that
- 13:41hole and I knew that she was dead when I
- 13:43heard her Splash in the oil he also says
- 13:45how poor sweet little Bella was the only
- 13:48one who put up a fight and how she was
- 13:50begging him not to hurt her so now all
- 13:52of this new information has come to
- 13:54light and people have a glimpse of the
- 13:56real true Chris Watts who is a freaking
- 13:59monster and now it's time to see okay
- 14:01well what was up with this mistress and
- 14:03was she involved when she revealed
- 14:04herself to the police and to the media
- 14:06she said I barely knew Chris he
- 14:08completely lied to me he tricked me I
- 14:11had no idea he told me that he was in
- 14:13the middle of a mutual divorce in
- 14:15separation he never told me that he was
- 14:17still married and she also says that
- 14:19they were taking it really slow had no
- 14:20long-term plans and that it was just
- 14:22kind of a casual thing and that she is
- 14:25so appalled by what he's done to his
- 14:26family and people really believed her
- 14:28because she approached the police before
- 14:30they even had to seek her out for
- 14:32questioning and so they thought she was
- 14:34very forthcoming that he really had
- 14:36played her as well and she had no idea
- 14:38of anything that was really going on and
- 14:40then once she saw it on the news that's
- 14:41when she called the police and so they
- 14:43said this is a good woman she didn't
- 14:45know better he really played her too
- 14:47she's also been victimized I completely
- 14:50100% respect and agree with shannan's
- 14:53family the r cheeks with their beliefs
- 14:55their position that Chris is the sole
- 14:57person responsible for the heinous
- 14:59murders of shenan Bella Cece and Nico
- 15:02through and through absolutely however I
- 15:05would be remiss if I did not bring up
- 15:07that there are more things about Nicole
- 15:09cassinger that have surfaced and this is
- 15:12after extensive extensive re but the
- 15:14reality in all of this is that she was
- 15:17extremely in Chris's life involved in a
- 15:20relationship so much that she actually
- 15:22had literally ridden in shanann's car
- 15:25but in her mind surely the detectives
- 15:27must believe that she's just this in
- 15:29bystander right she just happened to
- 15:31have sex with Chris but she's a good
- 15:33person I mean she literally tries to act
- 15:36like their relationship was barely
- 15:37anything nothing casual yet her phone
- 15:40logs showed that they called and texted
- 15:43nearly every single day but Nicole wants
- 15:46you to believe that she was actually
- 15:47trying to like counsel Chris to repair
- 15:50his marriage no no no no no no no no and
- 15:53it even gets way more obvious and gross
- 15:56as we continue we're just going to talk
- 15:58about a ton of the different lies and
- 16:00inconsistencies because through all of
- 16:03her interviews and then what's outlined
- 16:05in the 200 pages of Discovery and what
- 16:07is there as black and white forensic and
- 16:09digital evidence there is so much that
- 16:12didn't match guys did he mention the
- 16:15children's name or his significant
- 16:17other's name um I didn't know his
- 16:19significant other's name for a while so
- 16:22if this were true if she truly did not
- 16:25know shanann's name and she didn't learn
- 16:27of it until you know well after meeting
- 16:30Chris and starting their Affair tell me
- 16:33how is it possible that she was
- 16:35searching for shanann's name and using
- 16:37her specific name in those searches and
- 16:40those searches dated back way earlier
- 16:43before she even met Chris because police
- 16:46found that she had been searching on
- 16:47Google for Chris Watts as early as
- 16:49August 3rd 2017 and she didn't meet him
- 16:53until June 2018 and she was also
- 16:55searching for shenan Watts back in
- 16:57January of 2018 18 Again months before
- 17:01she met Chris feels a little gross right
- 17:03feels a little that doesn't really make
- 17:05much sense Nicole also says in this
- 17:07interview that she didn't learn about
- 17:08shanann's pregnancy until the newspaper
- 17:10reported it and the News aired about
- 17:13shenan missing and Chris gave that
- 17:15Infamous horrific interview where he's
- 17:17like rocking back and forth however
- 17:19computer records from the discovery show
- 17:22that Nicole again frequented shannan's
- 17:24Facebook page where shanan had not only
- 17:26made that public tribute to Chris for
- 17:28father Thurs but she also announced her
- 17:31pregnancy and she would also post
- 17:33frequent updates about her family and
- 17:35Nicole had all of this in her digital
- 17:38history she was seeing it but she was
- 17:40telling the officers as if they're
- 17:41stupid and wouldn't connect the dots
- 17:43that she didn't learn about this until
- 17:45the case was a media sensation she also
- 17:48said that if she had known that shanan
- 17:50was pregnant she wouldn't have been with
- 17:52Chris in the first place and when she
- 17:54says this the FBI agent stops her for a
- 17:56second to press her a little bit more
- 17:58into what she meant by this because
- 18:00obviously that could be a motive for
- 18:02Chris certainly if Nicole found out that
- 18:05he was expecting a baby and she was
- 18:07threatening to leave him that would be a
- 18:09motive for Chris to murder his family
- 18:11correct if he wanted to be with her but
- 18:13then once again her dad steps in and he
- 18:16tells the officer to stop asking leading
- 18:18questions so in those six years though
- 18:21they had two children yep um and you
- 18:24said earlier you did not know she was
- 18:26pregnant until reading the newspaper
- 18:29so um that never came up in any
- 18:32conversation um there was
- 18:35no no indications that that was going on
- 18:39um he never hinted to anything like that
- 18:41as far as you knew um he was just
- 18:45leaving her he had two children and um
- 18:48that was the final take on that yes I
- 18:52think I know why he lied to me he lied
- 18:54to me because if I have known that he
- 18:57had a child on the way I don't know
- 18:58never Wast my time with him in the first
- 19:00place like none of this would ever even
- 19:01occurred if he would have just told me
- 19:03the truth so do you think if he found
- 19:05out that you
- 19:07um if let's say this week you guys were
- 19:11to go look at some apartments and this
- 19:13is hypothetical but you
- 19:16um you've never found out that his wife
- 19:20was
- 19:21pregnant would would that have changed
- 19:24anything uh like you just said if I knew
- 19:27he was his wife was pregnant I wouldn't
- 19:29be in this picture so if his wife was
- 19:32not pregnant um and forgive me but if if
- 19:36if he takes her out of the picture
- 19:38you're never going to know that she was
- 19:40pregnant
- 19:41right what do you mean takes her out of
- 19:43the picture like if he murdered her
- 19:46she's out of the picture you're never
- 19:47going to know if she was pregnant if he
- 19:49can get away with
- 19:52murder you're not going to I got
- 19:54divorced from my wife you see do you
- 19:56understand what I'm saying here if if
- 19:57she's gone
- 19:59but this don't leave hypothetically
- 20:01please hypothetically if she you
- 20:05understand where I'm going if you didn't
- 20:07know you're leading into questions that
- 20:09are nothing with your if you didn't know
- 20:11though wait
- 20:12Nick that she was there did you hear
- 20:14what I said I'm not I'm following you I
- 20:17just want her to answer a question that
- 20:19relates to she said something that's
- 20:22important this interaction is just so so
- 20:25so weird because this is a quadruple
- 20:28murder investigation at this point
- 20:30shenan Bella CeCe Nico her dad does not
- 20:35need to be there he is not an attorney
- 20:37she is not a minor it makes no sense
- 20:40then she tells the detective that she
- 20:42needed to bring something up to them
- 20:44something that she forgot to tell them
- 20:46previously she said that the night after
- 20:48everything unfolded in one of their very
- 20:50many phone conversations in the early
- 20:52hours of the 14th which she tried to say
- 20:54they didn't even speak Chris apparently
- 20:57asked her what to do with the wedding
- 20:58ring that he found of shanann's and her
- 21:01response to Chris was to pawn the ring
- 21:04this was literally just a day after
- 21:08shenan went missing she tells him to
- 21:10pawn shannan's wedding ring that was
- 21:12left behind so another thing so that was
- 21:15Tuesday and that was it for Tuesday but
- 21:17I forgot some stuff on Monday that I
- 21:18didn't need to bring up to you guys so
- 21:19Monday
- 21:21um when we were on the phone at one
- 21:24point he mentioned to me I can't even
- 21:27believe I have to say this
- 21:29she left her wedding ring here and I
- 21:31said something along the lines of does
- 21:35that mean you two are done and he was
- 21:41like oh my God he said how much do you
- 21:45think it's worth and I like remember
- 21:49hearing him say that and being like what
- 21:51the [ __ ] and I remember thinking to
- 21:53myself like I don't even know how to
- 21:55respond to this and so I was like I
- 21:57don't know PA it man and I was just like
- 21:59I was like I pwn jewelry all the time I
- 22:01was like I pwn jewelry a few times I was
- 22:03like it's not worth [ __ ] though and I
- 22:04was like so I don't know if you really
- 22:05want to do that and he's like no no I
- 22:08think I'm going to get it appraised it's
- 22:10a nice rock and I was just like okay I
- 22:13just want to know what cruel and callous
- 22:16person on the planet would suggest 24
- 22:20hours after their wife and kids go
- 22:22missing that he pawns the wedding
- 22:25ring if she truly did think that these
- 22:28kids and this mother were just missing
- 22:30as she said in the beginning of her
- 22:31interview I thought they were just
- 22:32missing the last place my mind even went
- 22:34to was murder like I didn't even
- 22:37think this guy killed his wife I mean
- 22:39that that like murder is on something on
- 22:41the top of my mind when I call one of my
- 22:44friends for 3 or 4 hours and she doesn't
- 22:45answer the phone like that doesn't even
- 22:48process to me as like a real thing that
- 22:51is a possibility at that point if that's
- 22:55truly what she thought and she thought
- 22:58that she would would possibly return why
- 23:00on Earth would you suggest pawning it so
- 23:03which isn't Nicole you said that murder
- 23:05is something that you never even thought
- 23:07about being a possibility and you
- 23:08thought that they would come back but
- 23:10then if they did come back what do you
- 23:11think would happen if shenan came home
- 23:13and she was looking for her ring and it
- 23:15was gone and it had been pawned I also
- 23:17want to know was this before or after
- 23:19the point when she quote thought that
- 23:21his lies weren't adding up and she
- 23:24wanted to cut him off in the interview
- 23:26that she had the day before which was in
- 23:28a public Park she said that she had
- 23:30never been there um so when we spent
- 23:34time together I didn't really like go to
- 23:36his house I we spent time at my house
- 23:41um so when during you guys dating time
- 23:45did you guys spend most of the time at
- 23:47your place always she even goes in
- 23:49further to this detail and like tries to
- 23:51bolster this claim even further by
- 23:53saying that the dinner that they had at
- 23:55The Lazy Dog Cafe was the only time that
- 23:57they had ever been in public together
- 23:59guys was there anything else that you
- 24:02was it just dinner did you go any place
- 24:03else visit no we just went to dinner
- 24:06that's one of the only times I've
- 24:07actually ever been out public with him
- 24:09however the next day after learning that
- 24:11they needed her cell phone records Boop
- 24:13like magic she remembered that she did
- 24:15go there twice I've been to that house
- 24:18twice but it was very very brief and
- 24:20later on in a written statement in
- 24:21September she said that she had only
- 24:23been there twice once on July 4th and
- 24:26once on the 14th but once again as if we
- 24:29are thinking that she's going to stop
- 24:30lying she's not because myy as myy says
- 24:33that was a lie because later when she
- 24:36was talking about her and Chris's trip
- 24:38to bamir RaceWay and what they did that
- 24:41day she says and then I don't remember
- 24:43what we did after bamir I think we just
- 24:46went to his house I'm almost positive we
- 24:49we um we did that and then we went to
- 24:52bamir and then I don't know what we did
- 24:54after bamir I think we just went to my
- 24:57house I'm almost positive like well the
- 25:00dates will get you every time Nicole
- 25:02because that trip that you guys took to
- 25:04bamir was on July 21st that would be a
- 25:07third day that you were there if you are
- 25:09saying you were already there on the 4th
- 25:11and the 14th the 21st is a third day my
- 25:14friend so going back to the timeline of
- 25:16the murders Nicole has absolutely zero
- 25:19zilch nil null none no alibi for the
- 25:23time of the murders nothing she didn't
- 25:25clock into work until 3:00 p.m. that day
- 25:27either and not only did she not clock in
- 25:30until 3:00 p.m. that afternoon but her
- 25:33activity while she was at work for a
- 25:35very short window of time was kind of
- 25:37sketchy and we're going to get into that
- 25:39in a minute too so let's start with the
- 25:41morning of the murders a neighbor
- 25:43reported seeing a truck very similar to
- 25:45the one that Nicole owned and the
- 25:47neighbor said that she saw it outside of
- 25:49the Watts family home at that same time
- 25:52this neighbor saw the truck Nicole's
- 25:54phone pinged at a tower in Frederick
- 25:56Colorado which is where the Watts family
- 25:59home was and it pinged at 616 a.m. but
- 26:04Nicole lived 25 minutes away so why is
- 26:09it pinging at 6:00 in the morning the
- 26:11morning of the murders near Chris's
- 26:13family home when you live 25 minutes
- 26:16away and you might think okay Annie well
- 26:18we know that phone pings could might not
- 26:20always be accurate because a certain
- 26:22settle Tower can coverage a large area
- 26:24of space sure but what's interesting is
- 26:27that when they facetimed the night
- 26:29before for that 2hour conversation
- 26:31remember the night before the murders or
- 26:33like the early morning hours of her
- 26:35phone did Ping near her house not in
- 26:37Frederick so if her phone is located in
- 26:40her home it's pinging near her home
- 26:43makes sense if her phone is not at her
- 26:45home it wouldn't be pinging near her
- 26:46home and it would be pinging wherever
- 26:48her phone was closest to which happened
- 26:50to be a tower right next to Chris Watts
- 26:53house so that ping happened at 6:16 a.m.
- 26:57and she didn't make any phone calls that
- 26:59day until 2:26 p.m. that afternoon
- 27:03however her entire phone history was in
- 27:05the discovery and when you analyze it
- 27:08guys it is pretty wild because you can
- 27:11see that every single day she makes at
- 27:13least one phone call per hour she's
- 27:16always on her phone there's never a gap
- 27:19not in her entire history I went back I
- 27:21think like 90 days even to just pull the
- 27:24data and she never has a gap like she
- 27:26did on the morning of the murders from
- 27:286:00 a.m. to 2: p.m. without making a
- 27:30single phone call so that along with no
- 27:33alibi leads me to believe that it's
- 27:36because she knew that she messed up by
- 27:37using her phone that morning and then
- 27:39she stopped for the remainder of the day
- 27:41until she was closer to where she lived
- 27:43closer to work again circumstantial but
- 27:46like very clear as day kind of feels
- 27:49almost like Casey Anthony where it's
- 27:51like there's not enough proof to make it
- 27:54concrete 100% which yes there is sorry
- 27:57just my opinion but like the writing is
- 27:59on the wall right so she gets to her
- 28:02office around 2:00 p.m. that afternoon
- 28:04and then her phone shows that the next
- 28:06call that she made was at 2:26 p.m. like
- 28:08I mentioned which is right before she
- 28:10made two other calls from her office at
- 28:132:28 p.m. and 2:35 p.m. back to back and
- 28:16I'm going to bring that up shortly cuz
- 28:18those calls are important so in addition
- 28:21to that I decided to look even further
- 28:23into her phone records to just kind of
- 28:25say like okay could it be a fluke Maybe
- 28:28it did just coincidentally ping there
- 28:30maybe it was an error and I not only
- 28:32looked at her history of her phone
- 28:34records but I also looked at her phone
- 28:36records all the way up until midt over a
- 28:39month later a month after the murders
- 28:42and never once did her phone ping again
- 28:45in that same area as it did the morning
- 28:47of the murders at 6:16 a.m. which would
- 28:50make sense because at that point her
- 28:51relationship with Chris was dunzo he was
- 28:53arrested he was pleading guilty so she
- 28:56had no reason to be over near his house
- 28:57and therefore over a month later after
- 28:59the murders there was not a single ping
- 29:01near his home in sight the last one
- 29:03being the day of the murders so you tell
- 29:06me what are the chances of it never
- 29:09pinging there again if it truly was a
- 29:11tech error or a fluke it seems more
- 29:14likely to me that it never pinged there
- 29:16again because she in fact never went to
- 29:19the Watts house again now all we know
- 29:21about is the phone ping that morning and
- 29:24she did clock out of work at 3:00 p.m.
- 29:26right after making those two phone calls
- 29:28from the office one at 2:28 p.m. and the
- 29:30other at 2:35 p.m. those phone calls
- 29:33were to her spiritual advisor a
- 29:3673-year-old man named Robert of the Ordo
- 29:39temply ordinance now one of the major
- 29:43features and core teachings of this
- 29:45organization from this spiritual leader
- 29:48and the spiritual leader that she called
- 29:50back to back that day right after
- 29:51getting into the office is the practice
- 29:54of Sex Magic now similar to many Secret
- 29:57societ ities the membership is allegedly
- 30:00based on an initiation system with a
- 30:02series of degree ceremonies that use
- 30:05some sort of ritual drama so then after
- 30:08those calls are made to her spiritual
- 30:10adviser she immediately leaves the anad
- 30:13Darko office and that's when she went to
- 30:15meet her friend Jim at her apartment at
- 30:17approximately 3:45 p.m. then at 5:01
- 30:21p.m. Nicole calls Chris twice but both
- 30:24calls go unanswered and she deletes
- 30:27those calls from her phone log at 5:30
- 30:30p.m. Chris calls her this call also goes
- 30:33unanswered but she again deletes it from
- 30:36her phone log tell me this if you're
- 30:39deleting phone calls on the day of a
- 30:40murder and you had no idea what was
- 30:42going on and you had no idea they were
- 30:44even missing and your phone also
- 30:45coincidentally pinged there that morning
- 30:47and then you get to work late and then
- 30:48you call your spiritual adviser and now
- 30:50you're deleting phone logs the day of
- 30:54the murder when you are saying that you
- 30:56had no idea anything was even a foot
- 30:58until days later why are you deleting
- 31:00your phone records why are you pinging
- 31:02at his house that morning it doesn't
- 31:04make any sense at 11:09 p.m. on the
- 31:07night of the murders after shenan was
- 31:10reported as missing there was a 51
- 31:12minute phone call between the two of
- 31:14them but then it was deleted from her
- 31:17phone 8 minutes later again why are you
- 31:21deleting your phone records immediately
- 31:23after if you have nothing to hide then
- 31:27at 12:09 a.m. Chris calls Nicole back
- 31:29for another 31 minutes then at 1:12 a.m.
- 31:33Nicole calls Chris back again and they
- 31:35talk for 3 minutes then at 1:51 a.m.
- 31:39Chris calls Nicole again and they talk
- 31:42for another 8 minutes so why are they
- 31:45going back and forth and calling each
- 31:47other so much talking to each other so
- 31:49much it feels like something's off
- 31:52almost as if they're saying like yeah
- 31:54they're talking about something and then
- 31:55they're like okay yeah let me do this
- 31:57real quick let me look at this I'll call
- 31:58you right back hang up call you let me
- 31:59go back and forth hey here's what I'm
- 32:01thinking it did hey I'm calling you
- 32:02because like it just doesn't make sense
- 32:06why call back and forth four or five
- 32:08times rather than have just one constant
- 32:10conversation something just feels off
- 32:13now here comes the absolute critical
- 32:16phone exchange that leads me to believe
- 32:19that Nicole was involved somehow or knew
- 32:22more than she was letting on so all of
- 32:24these calls are flying back and forth
- 32:25nothing's making any sense and now comes
- 32:27the iCal phone exchange that really does
- 32:29lead me to believe Nicole is more
- 32:31involved than she is making it out to be
- 32:34after that exchange of phone calls at
- 32:361:58 a.m. Chris and the detective start
- 32:39playing phone tag and the detective says
- 32:42that every time he tried to call and
- 32:44connect to Chris's phone his personal
- 32:47phone would have dead air on his line so
- 32:50then Chris would call him back and once
- 32:52again there would be dead air so he
- 32:53would call Chris back then there would
- 32:55be dead air like something wasn't
- 32:57connected like the phone call wasn't
- 32:59connecting and this goes on for nearly
- 33:0110 minutes then Chris takes a break in
- 33:05calling the detective back for just one
- 33:07single minute and he calls Nicole in
- 33:10that break now why take a break to call
- 33:13Nicole when you and the detective are so
- 33:14clearly trying to connect and get in
- 33:16touch with each other so he calls Nicole
- 33:19really quickly from that same phone from
- 33:21his personal phone and they talk for
- 33:23less than 1 minute then 1 minute later
- 33:26at 2:07 a.m. Chris calls the detective
- 33:29back but this time he calls from his
- 33:31work phone not his personal phone so now
- 33:35at that exact same time that he is
- 33:37having this conversation with the
- 33:39detective at that same moment at 2:07
- 33:42a.m. Nicole calls Chris's personal phone
- 33:45and remember he was talking to the
- 33:46detective on his work phone now that
- 33:48phone call lasts for 11 minutes and it
- 33:51was the final call between Chris and
- 33:54Nicole so it's suspected that the dead
- 33:57air during the phone tag with Detective
- 33:59was Chris trying to add Nicole to the
- 34:01line as a listener a three-way calling
- 34:04situation and it just wasn't connecting
- 34:06which is why they had to play phone tag
- 34:08and go back and forth and then when it
- 34:10finally didn't connect he's like I'm
- 34:11just going to call him from my work
- 34:12phone I'll put it on speaker you call me
- 34:14on my personal phone and you can listen
- 34:17into the conversation so he hangs up
- 34:19with her then he calls the detective
- 34:20from his work phone she calls the
- 34:22personal phone to listen in now guys I
- 34:25know that this sounds wild but the phone
- 34:27call off is all outlined in the
- 34:30discovery I am not making any of this up
- 34:32it is there in black and white do we
- 34:34know that she listened in for a fact no
- 34:38but what else could be the reason for
- 34:39him to have her on his personal phone
- 34:42simultaneously while he is talking to
- 34:44the detective on the work phone how does
- 34:46that equate at all and for the exact
- 34:49same amount of time the same duration
- 34:51for both phone calls in addition to the
- 34:54deleted calls on Nicole's phone there
- 34:56were hours hours hours hours worth of
- 34:59searches for shanan Watts after the
- 35:02murders happened and Nicole deleted all
- 35:05of those searches so did she want it to
- 35:07look like she wrote off Chris completely
- 35:09and didn't care about anything
- 35:10pertaining to him I mean why delete them
- 35:13if you are just curious about updates
- 35:15and you have nothing to hide especially
- 35:17if you're trying to act like you're
- 35:19being so forthcoming to the police in
- 35:22addition to deleting all of the history
- 35:24of searches calls text message all of
- 35:26those things Nicole also tried to
- 35:28destroy her SIM card before giving her
- 35:30phone to the
- 35:32investigators now one of the biggest
- 35:34things through this as if there aren't
- 35:36enough but one of the biggest things
- 35:38that doesn't quite sit right with me in
- 35:40this case is how she's trying to play
- 35:42both the victim and also the Martyr now
- 35:46for the victim role she tells the police
- 35:48that Chris told her that he and shanan
- 35:50were separated they were in the process
- 35:51of divorcing mutually divorcing yet if
- 35:55he truly told her that then why would
- 35:57she be Googling things like this man I'm
- 36:00having an affair with says he will leave
- 36:03his wife this is a search from July 24th
- 36:07if you thought that they were in fact
- 36:08separating or divorcing you certainly
- 36:11wouldn't be using the word Affair or
- 36:13mistress in your searches right because
- 36:15honestly nobody looking at shanann's
- 36:17Facebook page would ever be under the
- 36:19impression that she was nearing the end
- 36:22of a mutual divorce as Nicole claimed to
- 36:25believe now sure being the Other Woman
- 36:28hardly implicates you of murder but if
- 36:31you're lying about what you understood
- 36:33his marital status to be when there are
- 36:35several things to prove otherwise you
- 36:37have to ask why I mean aside from the
- 36:40obvious shame in all of it again that
- 36:42was just a super brief summary of really
- 36:45key details that are worth mentioning
- 36:47but there is plenty more where that came
- 36:50from so if you missed any of my other
- 36:52videos where we like really went in and
- 36:54did a deep D of all of it then
- 36:56definitely go check out those videos
- 36:58after finishing this one I will link
- 37:00them in the description area now let's
- 37:02get into updates in this case since
- 37:05Chris is arrest and his sentencing in
- 37:072018 he has managed to pretty much
- 37:09consistently stay in the headlines for
- 37:12one reason or another I mean this case
- 37:14yes is arguably probably one of the most
- 37:16well-known True Crime cases right up
- 37:19there with John Benet with Casey Anthony
- 37:21things like that so Chris could probably
- 37:24just honestly like sneeze or get a
- 37:27haircut cut and it would be headline
- 37:28news on top of all of that though you're
- 37:31probably also familiar with the Netflix
- 37:33documentary that came out in late uh
- 37:35when was it September of 2020 and it was
- 37:37called American murder the family next
- 37:39door for those of you who have not seen
- 37:42it I do highly recommend checking it out
- 37:44I thought that it was a good depiction
- 37:47of the case as far as updating the
- 37:50public or if you're unfamiliar with the
- 37:52case getting an understanding of it they
- 37:54didn't really go in the depths of the
- 37:56nooks and the CR and all the details I
- 37:58mean not like we all love to do right
- 38:00but it is a good just extra source of
- 38:03information if you are you know curious
- 38:05about this case but anyways this case
- 38:08was already popular before this
- 38:09documentary came out however after it
- 38:12aired the entire story just spread once
- 38:15again all over social media it was like
- 38:17wildfire it was every single place that
- 38:19you look now as you can imagine when the
- 38:21documentary first came out it quickly
- 38:24became the most viewed Show on Netflix
- 38:26and the fact that it ever even hit that
- 38:27record whether it still holds that
- 38:29record today or not just really shows
- 38:31the immense reach that this entire case
- 38:34really had now a huge question that
- 38:37everybody wants to know when any True
- 38:39Crime case is covered especially covered
- 38:41so widely that there's a documentary
- 38:43like this one had is how the murderer
- 38:45reacted to it and that was no different
- 38:47with Chris now while we never got an
- 38:50answer directly from him a supposed
- 38:52friend of his who allegedly has regular
- 38:54visits with Chris and has talked with
- 38:56him they've spoken out since that
- 38:58documentary first aired The Source who
- 39:01has remained unnamed claimed that the
- 39:03documentary puts Chris in what he
- 39:05describes as being a very dark place
- 39:08that's a direct quote which it's a
- 39:10pretty vague description also but this
- 39:12alleged friend claimed that the more
- 39:14in-depth reason for this was basically
- 39:16because Chris knew that it was out there
- 39:18but that he never realized that he would
- 39:20never be able to watch it which I've got
- 39:22to say is kind of laughable because
- 39:25obviously I mean you're in prison you
- 39:28probably don't get Netflix is my guess
- 39:30but I guess maybe it was a fear of the
- 39:32unknown when it came to his portrayal
- 39:34and that's what put him into this dark
- 39:36place I don't know one aspect of the
- 39:38documentary though that Chris really
- 39:40wasn't happy about was the text messages
- 39:43that were shown between him and his wife
- 39:45shanan his friend is quoted as saying
- 39:47quote he can't see it and he'll probably
- 39:50never see it he's curious about it but
- 39:52he hates even knowing that his text
- 39:54messages are out there for the public to
- 39:56read it brings back awful memories of
- 39:582018 for him okay fair I wouldn't want
- 40:02it if my text messages were out there
- 40:04for public consumption certainly not I
- 40:07say a lot of you know off-the-wall stuff
- 40:09sometimes not threatening but like
- 40:11things I just probably won't want public
- 40:12right nobody would but here's the deal
- 40:15if your friend is speaking out now about
- 40:18how awful this documentary made you feel
- 40:21and how the portrayal of yourself is
- 40:23what you're concerned
- 40:25about it feels a little gross to me and
- 40:28this is just my opinion also borderline
- 40:31narcissistic and I know people like to
- 40:33throw that word around there but I'm
- 40:34throwing it that you're worried about
- 40:37the text messages and the public reading
- 40:40your text messages and that's what
- 40:42brings you back to this horrible memory
- 40:44of 2018 you're not worried about them
- 40:46knowing that you killed your two
- 40:48children your three children actually
- 40:49because your unborn child and your wife
- 40:53you're more worried about the portrayal
- 40:55and of them seeing your text messages is
- 40:57that's what's triggering the awful
- 40:59memory of 2018 it's not the fact that
- 41:02you literally annihilated your family in
- 41:04one of the worst ways I have ever heard
- 41:08in my entire life of consuming True
- 41:11Crime okay like okay now another source
- 41:16from this time apparently from inside
- 41:18the prison told People magazine that the
- 41:21documentary has brought Chris a lot of
- 41:23Shame good specifically this source told
- 41:26people quote Chris knows that every part
- 41:28of his life is out there for public
- 41:30consumption he hates it it makes him
- 41:32feel a lot of shame but he also knows
- 41:35that he brought it upon himself he knows
- 41:37exactly what he did he's haunted by what
- 41:39he did he says he can't shake the
- 41:41memories of his family and they haunt
- 41:44him he is in his own psychological
- 41:46torment every day of his life he knows
- 41:48he deserves it though he knows that he
- 41:50made many mistakes in his life and this
- 41:53is his punishment which okay that feels
- 41:55like a better reaction so is that a
- 41:57possible shred of remorse I hear
- 42:00probably not but maybe it could be
- 42:01construed as that but at least now we're
- 42:03finally understanding that he lives in
- 42:05this psychological torment which good I
- 42:08wish it was physical torment just my
- 42:09opinion but okay fine we'll settle for
- 42:11psychological now the age-old argument
- 42:13when it comes to sick people like Chris
- 42:15is what would be worse living out the
- 42:18rest of his days in prison or the death
- 42:20penalty now we obviously know that he
- 42:22was sentenced to life in prison so let's
- 42:25just go over a little bit about what his
- 42:27daily routine is at first he was in
- 42:30prison in Colorado but because of how
- 42:32close to home this case was he allegedly
- 42:34was transferred for safety reasons to
- 42:36dodge correctional institute in
- 42:39Wisconsin now he's apparently on
- 42:41lockdown for 23 hours a day there's one
- 42:44hour that he does get where he has
- 42:46freedom and that's spent either
- 42:47showering or working out something like
- 42:49that now being so heavily locked down
- 42:52comes with a very large number of
- 42:54inmates who would love to get their
- 42:56hands on him right so were he to be
- 42:58thrown in with everybody else he would
- 43:00probably end up dead on the prison's
- 43:02watch most likely which is a hassle that
- 43:05nobody wants to deal with when you are
- 43:07working for the prison but a lot of the
- 43:09times that we see in not only with like
- 43:11we always hear it when it's like child
- 43:13cases and things like that inmates of
- 43:15course go after the perpetrators but
- 43:18also when it is a case where it's
- 43:20somebody who is extremely high-profile
- 43:23regardless what the crime was and what
- 43:25they committed generally there are a lot
- 43:27of times where they're segregated as
- 43:29well for those reasons just strictly for
- 43:32being high-profile because inmates want
- 43:34to Target them they either want the
- 43:36notoriety of hurting or killing that
- 43:38person because they know then they will
- 43:39become high-profile it sometimes it's
- 43:42resentment towards this person who's
- 43:44high-profile who's getting all this
- 43:46money put on their books all of these
- 43:47fan girls reaching out all of this stuff
- 43:50but they almost go in like what you
- 43:52could call not like the shoe obviously
- 43:54it's not that but like high-profile seg
- 43:57ation which it's not called that but it
- 44:00just makes people hate you even more not
- 44:02just for the crimes and for killing you
- 44:04know innocent children but just for
- 44:06being
- 44:07high-profile now apparently Chris knows
- 44:10himself that he has a major Target on
- 44:12his back and according to the New York
- 44:14Post Chris is actually terrified of
- 44:17being savagely attacked he's not dumb he
- 44:20knows that people who kill women and
- 44:21children are not by any means considered
- 44:24cool or hands off in prison C certainly
- 44:27not that little Glimpse though of his
- 44:29daily life came from a news article
- 44:31pretty early on in his prison sentence
- 44:33apparently now there's been rumors that
- 44:35he's working as a custodian in prison so
- 44:38maybe now he is getting a little bit
- 44:39more time out of his cell who knows but
- 44:41something does tell me he probably is
- 44:43still kept pretty secluded even if that
- 44:46rumor is actually true about the
- 44:48custodial duties but the only two things
- 44:50he's permitted inside of his cell are a
- 44:53Bible and a picture of the family the
- 44:56family that he so brutally so callously
- 45:00murdered so apparently you can imagine
- 45:03like many prisoners do it's a tale his
- 45:05oldest time Chris has found the Lord
- 45:08according to him apparently he often
- 45:10spends time in his cell not only reading
- 45:12his Bible but also reading scripture
- 45:15passages allowed to that photo of his
- 45:17family of shanan Bella and CeCe reading
- 45:20the scripture to them too late my friend
- 45:24too mothering late now when he's not bu
- 45:27with his Bible study he's writing
- 45:28letters and in an HLN special titled
- 45:31killer Dad Chris Watts speaks Chris's
- 45:34mom Cindy actually reads a small
- 45:36paragraph in one of the letters that was
- 45:38written to her by her son Chris the
- 45:41letter read I'm still a dad I'm still a
- 45:44son no matter what now I can add servant
- 45:47of God to that mix he has shown me peace
- 45:50love and forgiveness and that's how I
- 45:53live every day now guys I know I've been
- 45:55kind of sharing my opinion a lot through
- 45:57this video so I'm not going to share
- 45:59what I think about that I'm just going
- 46:00to make a little roll my eyes so hard to
- 46:05the back of my brain that I can see my
- 46:06brain but okay fine you know I need to
- 46:08like get it together all right guys
- 46:09sorry promise from this point on I'm
- 46:11going to be a little bit more poised
- 46:14people obviously have a lot of feelings
- 46:16on this though right Newfound religion
- 46:19aside more than anything though they're
- 46:21not happy with him apparently still
- 46:23calling himself a dad which is what he
- 46:25called himself in that letter his mom
- 46:27Cindy Watts is a whole other topic of
- 46:29conversation and we could go on a very
- 46:31long rant about that none of it is good
- 46:34she's been extremely vocal from the very
- 46:36start about her support for Chris and
- 46:38she has said bad things about shanan
- 46:40even which is insane and absolutely
- 46:42mindblowing taking shenan out of the
- 46:45picture though I cannot comprehend how
- 46:47you could say that you ever loved your
- 46:48granddaughters just to turn right around
- 46:50and then speak so highly of the person
- 46:52who murdered them and has admitted to
- 46:54murdering them in such great detail it
- 46:57makes me absolutely sick and like I said
- 46:59that's a whole other rant that we don't
- 47:01even need to be getting into if you do
- 47:02want the Deep dive let me know in the
- 47:04comments but I'm trying to keep it clean
- 47:07here so apparently Cindy isn't the only
- 47:10person that Chris is writing to either
- 47:11in all of this not at all here's where
- 47:13all of the women who have some reason to
- 47:16obsess over these disgusting men in
- 47:18prison come into play because Chris like
- 47:21Wade Wilson the tattooed faced serial
- 47:24killer has been getting so much fan male
- 47:27from all over the place for years now
- 47:30countless women have been writing to
- 47:32Chris just hyping him up telling him
- 47:35that they know that he's a good person
- 47:36that they feel drawn to him for whatever
- 47:38reason blah blah blah blah blah and some
- 47:40of these women will literally even send
- 47:42scandalous photos of themselves in
- 47:44bikinis underwear sometimes even naked
- 47:47and just take a look at one of these
- 47:49letters that somebody sent to him it
- 47:52says I won't lie I've seen the news but
- 47:55it's not my reason for writing to you
- 47:57you honestly have one of the kindest
- 47:59faces I've ever seen I don't even know
- 48:02you yet I don't want you to feel alone
- 48:05you also very much remind me of Somebody
- 48:07That I Used to Know You can do as you
- 48:09please with this letter of course I
- 48:11would love to hear from you talking
- 48:12about whatever you wish to talk about
- 48:14but if for some reason you feel you are
- 48:15unable to write then I'll completely
- 48:18understand that too I've included a
- 48:20photo of me so you can put a face to the
- 48:22name maybe then I won't feel like such a
- 48:24stranger to you now this will never not
- 48:26ear me the amount of women who reach out
- 48:29to these people and I don't know if it's
- 48:30because women typically have kind of
- 48:32like this savior complex of I can save
- 48:35him I can you know I can rehabilitate
- 48:37him whatever the things are but she's
- 48:39talking about how he has such a kind
- 48:40face you know who also had the kindest
- 48:42faces his daughters that looked just
- 48:45like
- 48:46him my daddy is a hero he helps me grow
- 48:52up strong he helped me um not go
- 48:58to he reads me books he ties my
- 49:04shoes if you're a hero FL
- 49:09and my daddy daddy I love
- 49:14you a I want and don't get it twisted
- 49:17Chris responds to many of these letters
- 49:20it's not like he just reads them then
- 49:22doesn't play into it at all then goes
- 49:24about his day I mean he has all of the
- 49:26time in the day to read these just like
- 49:29he reads the Bible passages over and
- 49:31over and over again so he also responds
- 49:33to romantic and sexual letters I don't
- 49:36know maybe he's just bored maybe it's
- 49:38because he's trying to get more money on
- 49:39his books I don't know but since we're
- 49:41on the topic of letters let's get into
- 49:44perhaps one of the craziest letters that
- 49:46Chris has written while in prison an
- 49:49author named cheryn C started writing
- 49:52back and forth to Chris and chln claimed
- 49:54that like many of us she heard about the
- 49:56case and was immediately fascinated at
- 49:59one point she was even able to meet with
- 50:01Chris in person now for whatever reason
- 50:03Chris was always more than happy to talk
- 50:06with her maybe it was because he felt
- 50:08like this could be his chance to kind of
- 50:09tell his own story and his words since
- 50:12he never really got to with that
- 50:13documentary I mentioned earlier I don't
- 50:15know maybe she was able to and I use
- 50:17this word very Loosely almost manipulate
- 50:20him with his Newfound religion but these
- 50:23letters were incredibly controversial
- 50:25for many reasons so so I want to get
- 50:27right into them in these letters he
- 50:29described in Vivid recollection how the
- 50:32murders went down and in one of the
- 50:34letters that has since been released
- 50:36Chris wrote August 13th the morning of I
- 50:40went to the girls room first before
- 50:42shenan and I had our argument I went to
- 50:44Bella's room then Cece's room and I used
- 50:47a pillow from their bed to kill them
- 50:49that's why the cause of death was
- 50:51smothering after I left Cece's room then
- 50:54I climbed back into bed with shenan and
- 50:56our argument ensued after shenan had
- 50:59passed Bella and CeCe woke back up I'm
- 51:02not sure how they woke back up but they
- 51:04did Bella's eyes were bruised and both
- 51:07girls looked like they had been through
- 51:08trauma that made the act that much worse
- 51:11knowing that I went to their rooms first
- 51:14and knowing I still took their lives at
- 51:16the location of the batteries August
- 51:1812th when I finished putting the girls
- 51:20to bed I walked away and said quote
- 51:23that's the last time I'm going to be
- 51:25tucking my babies in I knew what was
- 51:27going to happen the day before and I did
- 51:29nothing to stop it end quote in another
- 51:32released portion of the letters Chris
- 51:34also described killing his wife shenan
- 51:38he says isn't it weird how I look back
- 51:40and what I remember so much is her face
- 51:43getting all black with streaks of
- 51:45mascara all the weeks of me thinking
- 51:48about killing her and now I was faced
- 51:50with it when she started to get drowsy I
- 51:52somehow knew how to squeeze the jugular
- 51:54veins until it cut off the blood flow to
- 51:57her brain and she passed out the girls
- 52:00were kind of just running around the
- 52:01house and watching me with scared looks
- 52:03on their faces Bella started to cry and
- 52:06when she did Celeste started whimpering
- 52:09what a nightmare this was a common theme
- 52:12in a lot of these letters is Chris's
- 52:15Spiritual Awakening he talks about it
- 52:18like a lot and in another letter to this
- 52:21woman Chris closed the letter out by
- 52:23saying quote I don't know if this was a
- 52:26spiritual ual visit but I had a dream
- 52:28that CeCe was dancing next to the chair
- 52:30in my cell when she was dancing all of
- 52:33my folders on the chair started moving
- 52:35and I thought that she was in trouble so
- 52:37I said watch out get away watch out then
- 52:40I woke up I'm hoping that she comes back
- 52:43I hope everyone comes to visit me I'm
- 52:46trying to see if I can clear my head
- 52:47better before I go to sleep to help I
- 52:49like that John 10:10 passage you sent I
- 52:52wish I could have had an open ear to
- 52:54hear the Lord calling me back in June
- 52:57July and August if we run after sin we
- 53:00won't hear our Shepherd calling us I
- 53:03couldn't discern between the good
- 53:04spirits and the evil spirits and that
- 53:06eventually lodged me into a deep pit
- 53:09that I couldn't climb back out of take
- 53:11care and God bless Chris so this back
- 53:14and forth between chln and Chris was
- 53:17ultimately turned into a book in 2019
- 53:19called letters from Christopher the
- 53:22tragic confession I personally have not
- 53:24read it but from the slew of onear
- 53:27reviews it seems like I'm not missing
- 53:29out on anything now I want to get into
- 53:31some of those updates on what's been
- 53:32happening between Chris and Nicole and
- 53:35what's going on these days before I get
- 53:37into it just know that Chris's thoughts
- 53:39and opinions on Nicole are very very
- 53:42wishy-washy one day he's saying
- 53:44something bad about her the next day
- 53:45he's not in 2021 an inmate at the same
- 53:48jail as Chris named David Carter spoke
- 53:51to the Daily Mail and what he had to say
- 53:53was pretty interesting but we also need
- 53:55to take it with a grain oft because
- 53:57sometimes inmates will say anything but
- 53:59anyway according to David Chris and
- 54:01Nicole were in contact with each other
- 54:03after his sentencing he claimed that
- 54:05Chris never went into detail about what
- 54:07she wrote to him other than the fact
- 54:09that she said she needed to speak to him
- 54:11to clear some things up David says that
- 54:13he has even taken pictures of these
- 54:15letters that are supposedly from Chris I
- 54:17guess just to prove that he really does
- 54:19know Chris and had a relationship with
- 54:21him I don't really know but apparently
- 54:23in that book that I just mentioned Chris
- 54:25also told Shar
- 54:26that he was still in love with Nicole
- 54:29and that he believes that some of these
- 54:31women who have been writing to him are
- 54:33actually Nicole writing to him all under
- 54:35a different name and this David guy told
- 54:38the Daily Mail that he doesn't know if
- 54:40that's actually true or not or if Chris
- 54:42just believes it to be true in his own
- 54:44head again take all of that with a grain
- 54:46of salt though because David could have
- 54:48completely made up everything or maybe
- 54:50he didn't and Chris was the one making
- 54:51things up I don't know it's all just
- 54:53rumors and speculation at this point now
- 54:55keep everything thing that we just
- 54:57mentioned in mind because all of that
- 54:59was pretty positive in regards to Nicole
- 55:02right they were talking he's still in
- 55:03love with her they talked after his
- 55:05sentencing all of those things well now
- 55:07we're going to get into the not so good
- 55:08things that Chris has allegedly said
- 55:10about her now what we're about to go
- 55:12over is super recent like in the
- 55:14headlines this summer of 2024 that
- 55:16recently so let me start with a little
- 55:18bit of a backstory in the same prison as
- 55:21Chris in the cell right next to him was
- 55:23a man named Dylan tman Dylan was in
- 55:27prison for Narcotics and during his
- 55:29sentence he also found God so Dylan and
- 55:32Chris being next to each other and both
- 55:34on this whole spiritual journey
- 55:36apparently they started getting closer
- 55:39together Dylan claims that they started
- 55:41talking frequently and studying the
- 55:43Bible together he said that Chris began
- 55:45calling him his spiritual twin maybe
- 55:48that's a new take on a twin flame I
- 55:50don't know but apparently this
- 55:52spiritually fueled relationship between
- 55:54the two of them made them come up with
- 55:55the idea of writing their own book the
- 55:58book would be about their own crimes and
- 56:00also their prison Journeys however it
- 56:02was going to be heavily focused on the
- 56:04religious and spiritual sides of their
- 56:06lives so after about a year of planning
- 56:09this three-part series book which they
- 56:11were calling the cell neck store Dylan
- 56:14claimed that Chris backed out of it for
- 56:16whatever reason Dylan however didn't
- 56:18care though he wanted to still go
- 56:20through with it so now two parts of the
- 56:22series have been released and if it's to
- 56:25be believed it has got a whole lot of
- 56:27tea in it and Nicole is a headlining
- 56:30character the first book apparently gets
- 56:33right into it and Dylan claimed that he
- 56:35and Chris referred to Nicole as a
- 56:38jezebel if you aren't familiar Jezebel
- 56:40is a Biblical figure in the Old
- 56:42Testament who for many reasons I'm not
- 56:44going to get into is depicted as
- 56:46somebody who is manipulative Insidious
- 56:49and has evil characteristics and
- 56:51tendencies so if you do ever get called
- 56:53a jezebel just know it is C certainly
- 56:56not a compliment according to the first
- 56:59book Chris told Dylan quote I was having
- 57:01an affair with this girl and I ended up
- 57:04in love with two women at the same time
- 57:06it's what led up to what happened she is
- 57:08of evil spirits like Jezebel so in book
- 57:11one Chris is allegedly blaming the
- 57:13murders on Nicole and saying that her
- 57:15evil spirit manipulated him into doing
- 57:17what he did that is of course if this is
- 57:19all actually believed to be true in this
- 57:21book now as if that's not already insane
- 57:24enough Dylan had more on the topic of
- 57:27Nicole's evil spirit as well claiming
- 57:29that on the night of the murders Nicole
- 57:31allegedly told Chris that he had to
- 57:34choose between her or shennan and the
- 57:36girls then quote Jezebel was the
- 57:39forbidden fruit and it was costly end
- 57:42quote apparently during the time when
- 57:44they were planning the books but before
- 57:46Chris had backed out Dylan claims that
- 57:49he and Chris encouraged each other to
- 57:51write letters to God and one of these
- 57:53alleged letters is also now public it's
- 57:56signed by Chris and it's dated March 3rd
- 57:592020 the letter reads dear heavenly
- 58:02father I have backslidden I am like a
- 58:05sheep gone astray from the flock and I
- 58:07have fallen into a pit the snare of the
- 58:10enemy has entrapped me the words of a
- 58:13harlot has brought me low her flattering
- 58:15speech was like drops of honey that
- 58:17pierced my heart and soul but little did
- 58:20I know all her guests were in the
- 58:22chamber of death the lust of the eyes
- 58:24the lust of the flesh and the pride of
- 58:27life how did I not see it how did I let
- 58:30this happen the blessings you have
- 58:32bestowed upon me were right in front of
- 58:34me and I still followed the perfume of a
- 58:37strange woman the web of the enemy
- 58:39squeezes around my heart and is
- 58:42cocooning my soul to the point of
- 58:43Suffocation the enemy and his Jezebel
- 58:46Mock and scorge me as they celebrate
- 58:48another capture but oh that man would
- 58:51praise the Lord for his goodness and for
- 58:53his wonderful Works to the children of
- 58:54men you oh Lord did not leave me captive
- 58:58or condemned you heard the prayer of the
- 59:01destitute and of the prisoner appointed
- 59:03to death you opened my eyes you made my
- 59:06ears ready to perceive and you said come
- 59:09forth the web of death loosened its grip
- 59:11and I walked into the light of your
- 59:13presence as I humbly kneeled before you
- 59:16you said go and sin no more your faith
- 59:20has made you whole which I know that was
- 59:23a whole lot of intensity right so was it
- 59:26Jezebel AKA Nicole's fault or are you
- 59:30still in love with her and she's still
- 59:31writing to you who really even knows the
- 59:34truth and I am curious to know what you
- 59:35guys think but taking out all of the
- 59:38religious aspects out of the first
- 59:40book's story could there be some truth
- 59:42to what Dylan was alleging that Chris
- 59:44told him I mean we've all kind of been
- 59:47saying over and over again how Nicole's
- 59:49story just does not add up at all she's
- 59:51told constant lies her time stamps don't
- 59:54match up her phone pings don't match up
- 59:56her stories don't match up which again
- 59:59if you haven't watched my deep dive only
- 1:00:01dedicated to Nicole where I kind of
- 1:00:02debunk a lot of it I will link it
- 1:00:05because I go through hours and hours of
- 1:00:07her interrogation footage thousands of
- 1:00:10pages of Discovery and documents and
- 1:00:13there are a lot of inconsistencies so
- 1:00:16I'm just going to leave it at that and
- 1:00:17let everybody come to their own
- 1:00:19conclusions but my question in all of
- 1:00:21that is did she maybe give him some type
- 1:00:23of ultimatum like that book is alleged
- 1:00:26maybe not by straight up saying hey
- 1:00:28murder your family and be with me but
- 1:00:30you know what I mean kind of insinuating
- 1:00:32like hey if you're still with them or if
- 1:00:34they're still around in the next week or
- 1:00:36so I'm out I'm like going to find
- 1:00:38somebody new I don't know is this story
- 1:00:40just confirming what a lot of us have
- 1:00:42wondered for years just like with the
- 1:00:45other inmate though who spoke out we
- 1:00:47can't really take what Dylan is saying
- 1:00:48to be the complete truth we know that
- 1:00:51people lie all the time so who knows if
- 1:00:53we'll ever know whether any of that was
- 1:00:55true or not
- 1:00:56news outlets have tried to contact
- 1:00:58Nicole for a long time now especially
- 1:01:01about all of this now that this has been
- 1:01:03released but they of of course had no
- 1:01:05luck when everything went down she
- 1:01:07allegedly moved out of state changed her
- 1:01:09name some news articles now say that she
- 1:01:11is back in Colorado living under a
- 1:01:13different name but nobody really knows
- 1:01:15what she's doing these days maybe she's
- 1:01:18seen how much she's talked about and
- 1:01:19she's purposefully just trying to stay
- 1:01:21as far away from the Limelight as
- 1:01:23possible I mean she'd be smart for it I
- 1:01:25just can't help but wonder what her
- 1:01:27thoughts are though on all of this
- 1:01:29that's being said I also wonder why she
- 1:01:31has stayed tucked away for so long I get
- 1:01:34it there's a lot of people who think she
- 1:01:35had something to do with it but if you
- 1:01:38didn't if you truly didn't and I've
- 1:01:41never been in that situation so I'm just
- 1:01:42thinking out loud but why not get ahead
- 1:01:44of it why not get out in front of it
- 1:01:46just like Amber fry did with Scott
- 1:01:48Peterson she was the mistress if you had
- 1:01:50nothing to do with it if it was all
- 1:01:52unbeknownst to you even if you knew that
- 1:01:53he was married but like you had nothing
- 1:01:55to do with the murder
- 1:01:56why not just give an interview say that
- 1:01:59people are going to rip you apart
- 1:02:00regardless whatever no matter what you
- 1:02:02say they already are doing that so why
- 1:02:04feel like you need to live in this like
- 1:02:06dark cave the rest of your life I don't
- 1:02:08know again I've never been in her
- 1:02:10situation so I'm just thinking out loud
- 1:02:12and comparing it to the Amber fry
- 1:02:13situation but tell me what you think now
- 1:02:16as for Chris this past may he celebrated
- 1:02:19his 39th birthday all by himself a
- 1:02:23spokesperson for the prison stated that
- 1:02:24he received Absol absolutely no special
- 1:02:26treatments and that he also did not have
- 1:02:29a single person lined up to visit him on
- 1:02:32his birthday which good his birthdays
- 1:02:34were once spent with somebody who loved
- 1:02:36him right there by his side his kids
- 1:02:39followed by years of babies and
- 1:02:42happiness blowing out the birthday
- 1:02:43candles his kids probably singing happy
- 1:02:45birthday to him and now there's
- 1:02:47emptiness there's nothing which in my
- 1:02:50opinion is exactly how it should be and
- 1:02:52I can't help but wonder if on his
- 1:02:54birthday he looked at his family family
- 1:02:56's picture that is hanging on his cell
- 1:02:57wall and wondered for even a single
- 1:03:00brief moment what that day could have
- 1:03:02looked like had he never committed such
- 1:03:05horrific heinous murders that August day
- 1:03:08had that day never happened I want to
- 1:03:10know what you guys think about all of
- 1:03:12this not only the Nicole aspect of it
- 1:03:14and whether or not she was she wasn't
- 1:03:16involved why she's hiding out why not
- 1:03:18get ahead of it but also if he blames
- 1:03:21her if he is taking accountability if he
- 1:03:23truly has found God and aside from
- 1:03:25everything we just talked about I also
- 1:03:27want to know from you guys why do you
- 1:03:29think this case still is in the
- 1:03:32Limelight the way that it is it still is
- 1:03:35one of the most notorious cases out
- 1:03:37there and people are talking about it
- 1:03:39there's news about it and I wonder why
- 1:03:41it has such a grasp on the True Crime
- 1:03:44Community especially because we have
- 1:03:46talked about family annihilators at
- 1:03:48nauseum right like so many of them
- 1:03:51unfortunately so what is making this one
- 1:03:54different is it
- 1:03:56because of the way Chris looks and I
- 1:03:58mean that because he's had so many fan
- 1:03:59girls reaching out very similar to Wade
- 1:04:01Wilson so is that going is that kind of
- 1:04:03following the blueprint and is the Wade
- 1:04:05Wilson case going to become the next
- 1:04:07Chris Watts case for the next 5 to seven
- 1:04:10years hopefully not but I'm just curious
- 1:04:13what you guys think about not only all
- 1:04:14the updates but the case in general

- 1:04:26involvement with like him in prison and
- 1:04:28how she's been advocating for him the
- 1:04:30Nicole Deep dive like I'm talking it
- 1:04:31will be like a mega Deep dive it'll
