  1. 0:04What's up, guys? It's your boy Zawoki
  2. 0:06back with another Chris Watts video.
  3. 0:09And this one is going to be obviously
  4. 0:11we're watching Criminal Minds. Um, which
  5. 0:14I love his channel. Um, I've spoken with
  6. 0:18him and so forth like that over the the
  7. 0:20course of a couple years and I
  8. 0:22definitely do enjoy his content. Now,
  9. 0:25the video that we're about to watch, not
  10. 0:28necessarily states new stuff because
  11. 0:31everybody's like, "Smokei, is there
  12. 0:33anything new coming out? Is it There's
  13. 0:36nothing besides her being seen in
  14. 0:38Montana, Billings, Montana for that um
  15. 0:43funeral that uh she went to. But the
  16. 0:46reason why we continuously dissect this
  17. 0:50one, because a lot of us think,
  18. 0:53including myself, that Nicole Kassinger
  19. 0:56was involved in some shape or form. Now,
  20. 0:58again, with everything that we've talked
  21. 1:00about and so forth like that, it's more
  22. 1:01alleged than anything because we can't
  23. 1:04prove anything.
  24. 1:06Mostly because the DA doesn't want to
  25. 1:08even touch this anymore. He got his guy,
  26. 1:11he got paid for his
  27. 1:14thing. he or the the case and then moved
  28. 1:17on. Okay. So, I'm definitely wanting to
  29. 1:20watch this in two parts. We're not going
  30. 1:21to watch the whole thing at once because
  31. 1:23it's an hour and 45 minutes, but we're
  32. 1:27going to watch it in two parts. So,
  33. 1:30before we go any further, if you guys
  34. 1:31could do me a solid favor and subscribe
  35. 1:33to my YouTube channel by hitting that
  36. 1:35white bar icon down the bottom right,
  37. 1:37hit the bell icon next to it. So when I
  38. 1:39do post videos like this one, you guys
  39. 1:42will get that little ring notification
  40. 1:44that I posted that video. And then you
  41. 1:46guys can watch, comment, like, and
  42. 1:47share. And again, I thank you guys all
  43. 1:49so very much for the continued love and
  44. 1:52support that you guys do show on my
  45. 1:53channel. And then show that same love at
  46. 1:56behind criminal minds. Link is in the
  47. 1:58description. And again, if you do not
  48. 2:00want to watch with my commentary, my
  49. 2:02reactions, the link is in the
  50. 2:04description for you guys to watch the
  51. 2:06actual video. And um yeah, so without
  52. 2:09further ado, let's get into Behind
  53. 2:12Criminal Mind presents the new testimony
  54. 2:14reveals a second secret app deep dive
  55. 2:18series. Very interesting. Let's take a
  56. 2:20look.
  57. 2:21Doubt the possibility of parole for the
  58. 2:23quadr homicide. I always look inside
  59. 2:26here and the the the people that are
  60. 2:29around here because Chris Watts said he
  61. 2:32saw Nicole, but I keep trying to look of
  62. 2:36his entire family nearly seven years
  63. 2:38ago. In the years since, the Weld County
  64. 2:41District Attorney has continued to
  65. 2:44receive new and credible information
  66. 2:46concerning Nicole Kessinger's possible
  67. 2:49involvement. However, despite the
  68. 2:51ongoing barrage of requests for a full
  69. 2:54and complete investigation, he has
  70. 2:57refused them all. When I say the word
  71. 2:59prosecutor, what phrase immediately
  72. 3:01comes to mind? Tough on crime,
  73. 3:05aggressive,
  74. 3:07overbearing, and rigid in appearance.
  75. 3:09You ask my wife and she might jump right
  76. 3:11to arrogant.
  77. 3:13I'll admit that these stereotypes aren't
  78. 3:15too far off base. rigid and arrogant
  79. 3:18doesn't even begin to cover it. But for
  80. 3:20the first time in over half a decade,
  81. 3:23entirely new evidence has been
  82. 3:25discovered that has the potential to
  83. 3:27break this case wide open. Information
  84. 3:31never previously known or disclosed by
  85. 3:34law enforcement since the arrest of
  86. 3:36Chris Watts. On the 6th of November
  87. 3:392018, Chris Watts formally accepted the
  88. 3:42prosecution's plea deal, agreeing to a
  89. 3:45conviction of five life sentences. This
  90. 3:48deal, approved by DA Ror himself, was
  91. 3:51finalized just 86 days after the crimes
  92. 3:55Watts committed on August 13th, 2018. So
  93. 3:59fast. Every single day since Watt's
  94. 4:02conviction, the true crime community has
  95. 4:04continued to find glaring mistakes,
  96. 4:07omissions, and failures that exposes the
  97. 4:10Hey, that's me. The improper and
  98. 4:12incomplete investigation conducted by
  99. 4:14the Weld County District Attorney,
  100. 4:16Michael Roor. In today's episode, we
  101. 4:18will continue with our detailed deep
  102. 4:20dive analysis of the Chris Watts case,
  103. 4:22analyzing Watt's first interview and
  104. 4:24contrasting this new information with
  105. 4:26shocking details that Watts revealed
  106. 4:28just 24 hours after he committed his
  107. 4:30crimes. providing an examination of the
  108. 4:33discovery records while shedding light
  109. 4:35on what that evidence actually reveals,
  110. 4:37helping us all to finally answer the
  111. 4:39question. Could law enforcement have
  112. 4:41fully and completely investigated this
  113. 4:44quadruple homicide in just 86 days? This
  114. 4:47is In Search of the Truth, the Chris
  115. 4:49Watts Deep Dive Series, the third
  116. 4:51installment. I honestly think it was way
  117. 4:53too fast. That's just me. In the last
  118. 4:56two episodes of this deep dive series,
  119. 4:58we have traversed the rocky landscape of
  120. 5:00the Watts case surrounding the days and
  121. 5:02weeks preceding this painful tragedy. We
  122. 5:04were given a deeply disturbing view of
  123. 5:07the heartbreak that Shannan was forced
  124. 5:08to endure at the hands of a man who was
  125. 5:10seemingly devoid of empathy or concern.
  126. 5:14Since beginning my analysis of this
  127. 5:15case, I have continued to receive
  128. 5:17countless messages from current and
  129. 5:19former members of law enforcement who
  130. 5:21all agree that these investigators could
  131. 5:24not have thoroughly evaluated the facts
  132. 5:26of this case. I've been getting the same
  133. 5:28thing. I have retired DAs. I have
  134. 5:33retired law enforcement. I have active
  135. 5:37law enforcement DAs, um, doctors, um,
  136. 5:42morticians. I've had literally probably
  137. 5:45anybody you could think of that was a
  138. 5:47professional
  139. 5:49has messaged me on Instagram. I've
  140. 5:51thought about making a video on just
  141. 5:53this conversations that I've had
  142. 5:58and all of them said that this was way
  143. 6:00too fast.
  144. 6:02It was done wrong. Not all the police
  145. 6:05officers were wrong, but a lot of them
  146. 6:09didn't do their diligence. They missed
  147. 6:12things. they screwed things up and
  148. 6:16yeah, so it just really makes you think
  149. 6:21when you hear this from all these other
  150. 6:22different people and of course they're
  151. 6:24going to have different jurisdictions
  152. 6:26when it comes to like Colorado to New
  153. 6:28York or California to Florida, Tennessee
  154. 6:32to Washington. You're going to have
  155. 6:35differences, but do you have that many
  156. 6:38differences?
  157. 6:40I'm just saying it's it raises
  158. 6:45red flags. I'm just throwing that out
  159. 6:47there. In less than 3 months time, but
  160. 6:51for the first time since the onset of
  161. 6:53this case, I will be able to
  162. 6:54definitively demonstrate for you just
  163. 6:56how inadequate this investigation was.
  164. 6:59But please remember, Chris Watts will
  165. 7:01always bear sole responsibility for his
  166. 7:04own actions. Oh yes, our analysis will
  167. 7:07always be about the pursuit of justice.
  168. 7:09So, as we evaluate the facts, we will
  169. 7:11remember the one and only reason why we
  170. 7:14continue to advocate for that justice,
  171. 7:16the victims. So, with that said, let's
  172. 7:19begin. Just because Nicole Kessinger
  173. 7:22needs to be
  174. 7:25looked at.
  175. 7:27If they just look at her and prove her
  176. 7:29innocence or prove her guilt, then we're
  177. 7:32done. This case will go quiet. This case
  178. 7:36will be silent.
  179. 7:38It would just be a
  180. 7:41point in history
  181. 7:44um that
  182. 7:46happened and we tried to learn from.
  183. 7:49But Shannan, Bella, Celeste, and Nico
  184. 7:52deserve to have the people that were
  185. 7:54involved brought to justice. And that's
  186. 7:56not just Chris. I feel wholeheartedly
  187. 8:00that Nicole Kessinger was involved
  188. 8:02allegedly
  189. 8:04in these murders. I can't tell if it's
  190. 8:07physical, emotional, mental, something I
  191. 8:11can feel in my body that she was
  192. 8:14involved. Just after 2 a.m. on the
  193. 8:16morning of August 14th, Chris and Nicole
  194. 8:19have just finished their nearly 3-hour
  195. 8:21long phone call. The same call that
  196. 8:23Nicole Kassinger will later claim that
  197. 8:25she barely recalled what they discussed
  198. 8:27or talked about. According to the
  199. 8:28discovery records, at 2:17 a.m. the two
  200. 8:31would say their final goodbyes, but not
  201. 8:33before Nicole would eavesdrop on a phone
  202. 8:35call with law enforcement where Chris
  203. 8:37was being asked very specific questions
  204. 8:39about his missing family. And earlier
  205. 8:41that same morning, Nicole Kassinger made
  206. 8:43sure to get on to Google and search for
  207. 8:45the name Shannan Watts. Over the years,
  208. 8:48we've learned that law enforcement never
  209. 8:50bothered to ask Nicole why she would be
  210. 8:52searching for Shannan at that specific
  211. 8:54point in time. Especially in light of
  212. 8:56the fact that Kessinger would go on to
  213. 8:58claim that she truly believed that
  214. 9:00Shannan was okay and simply at a
  215. 9:02friend's house.
  216. 9:04Bull crap. Cuz she said, "Well, maybe
  217. 9:06she possibly was punishing Chris for
  218. 9:08what was going on." She said that. We
  219. 9:11watched it happen.
  220. 9:17afternoon. He told me that she was like
  221. 9:20gone and he didn't know where she was.
  222. 9:22And at that point, I don't think that it
  223. 9:25set off any alarms in my head just
  224. 9:28because
  225. 9:30I mean I have because she knew that she
  226. 9:34was already gone.
  227. 9:42She's full of crap. Friends that I And
  228. 9:43if I don't hear from them for like three
  229. 9:45hours or six hours or even like a couple
  230. 9:47days, I don't feel concerned about where
  231. 9:50they're at because it's kind of a
  232. 9:52standard thing for me. Um, but then she
  233. 9:54didn't come home that night. I was like,
  234. 9:56"Okay, well, maybe she'll come back."
  235. 9:57And I was kind of under the impression
  236. 9:59since they're separating that maybe she
  237. 10:01decided to take the kids. Maybe she
  238. 10:03decided to just
  239. 10:05leave for a few days. I don't know. I
  240. 10:06was just Nicole, you're full of crap. I
  241. 10:09I felt like maybe she was just trying to
  242. 10:11get some space and I figured maybe that
  243. 10:12was why her stuff there to just get some
  244. 10:15quiet. If Nicole believed that Shannan
  245. 10:17was unharmed, then why would she be
  246. 10:19looking for her on Google? Right that
  247. 10:22morning, Sandy Ruseek, the mother of
  248. 10:24Shannan, called Chris and spoke to him
  249. 10:26for just over four minutes. The two
  250. 10:28would speak later that same morning at
  251. 10:306:32, and Chris would continue to
  252. 10:32perpetuate the claim that he did not
  253. 10:34know where her daughter and his children
  254. 10:36were, feigning innocence over the
  255. 10:38monstrosity of what he was still
  256. 10:40desperately trying to hide. An hour
  257. 10:42later, at 7:26 a.m., Chris messaged
  258. 10:45Shannan's friend Sam, continuing the lie
  259. 10:47that Shannan and the girls were likely
  260. 10:49safe. He told her, "I'm hoping she's
  261. 10:51with someone I don't know because I have
  262. 10:53exhausted all of the people that I know
  263. 10:55of. I'm optimistic we will reunite
  264. 10:57again. People have been stopping by from
  265. 10:59time to time." Two hours later and Chris
  266. 11:01Watts transferred one final nude image
  267. 11:03of his paramore Nicole Kesser. Oh man.
  268. 11:09into his secret calculator app. At 12:08
  269. 11:12p.m., Nicole Kessinger spends four
  270. 11:14entire hours searching the internet,
  271. 11:16news sites, and articles all concerning
  272. 11:18Shannan and the girl's disappearance.
  273. 11:20Detective Prill is careful to note that
  274. 11:22these searches that nearly took her
  275. 11:24entire workday were all deleted. And he
  276. 11:27notates this observation. Why would you
  277. 11:29delete search history
  278. 11:31of a a person that's missing that you're
  279. 11:34with a man
  280. 11:37sleeping with the other woman?
  281. 11:41Doesn't that scream
  282. 11:44red flag? Like I don't know how much
  283. 11:47more you can scream this and they're
  284. 11:50just like she wasn't involved. She's
  285. 11:52she's fine.
  286. 11:55in red. It's my experience that when law
  287. 11:58enforcement wants to highlight an area
  288. 11:59of concern, this is exactly how they do
  289. 12:02it. But just minutes after Nola had
  290. 12:04begun her relentless searches for news
  291. 12:06on Shannan and the girl's disappearance,
  292. 12:08Chris was communicating with friends and
  293. 12:09family again at 12:31 p.m. He was
  294. 12:12continuing to poorly fake the part of an
  295. 12:14aloof father trying to find his missing
  296. 12:16family. Shannan, Bella, Celeste, if
  297. 12:20you're out there, just just come back.
  298. 12:22Like if somebody has her, just please
  299. 12:24bring her back. I need to see everybody.
  300. 12:26I need to see everybody crap without
  301. 12:29anybody here. Please bring her back. I
  302. 12:32will simply never understand how or why
  303. 12:35Chris Watts thought that this interview
  304. 12:37would convince anyone of because he told
  305. 12:39his teacher that oh yeah, I went to
  306. 12:42China and he said that she believed it.
  307. 12:45So he thought with his lies he was going
  308. 12:47to get away with this.
  309. 12:49anything other than his complete and
  310. 12:51undeniable guilt. At 1:36 p.m., Chris
  311. 12:54again text Shannan's friend Sam. Sam had
  312. 12:57inquired about the possibility of
  313. 12:59issuing an Amber Alert for the girls.
  314. 13:00She was very clearly trying to do
  315. 13:02whatever she could to find them. And yet
  316. 13:05Chris could only and the reason why that
  317. 13:06they didn't do an Amber Alert because
  318. 13:08they didn't know if
  319. 13:10uh Shannan was with somebody or not with
  320. 13:14somebody because if she was with
  321. 13:15somebody um as a kidnapping then they
  322. 13:18could issue the Amber Alert. But until
  323. 13:21that time they couldn't have done it. We
  324. 13:24respond by telling her that an Amber
  325. 13:25Alert was not applicable in this
  326. 13:27situation, choosing instead to quickly
  327. 13:30change the subject while informing Sam
  328. 13:32that law enforcement had just swept his
  329. 13:33house with Cadaabver Dogs. Ending their
  330. 13:35dialogue by informing Sam that he had
  331. 13:37completed all of his interviews with law
  332. 13:39enforcement in what appeared to be an
  333. 13:41attempt at trying to insinuate that he
  334. 13:43was not responsible. Chris again called
  335. 13:45Shannan's mother, Sandy, at 2:30 p.m.
  336. 13:47and spoke with her for just over 10
  337. 13:49minutes. We would later learn that the
  338. 13:51roose checks were already I really want
  339. 13:52to know what she said. Convinced that
  340. 13:55Chris was likely involved in the
  341. 13:56disappearance of Shannan and the girls
  342. 13:58and I can only imagine that Chris and
  343. 14:00his shocking lack of empathy was evident
  344. 14:03in every word he spoke to everyone he
  345. 14:05encountered throughout the course of
  346. 14:07that day. 4 minutes after 3, Chris again
  347. 14:09communicates with Addie. He informs her
  348. 14:11that Good Morning America has contacted
  349. 14:13his sister for an interview. And if I
  350. 14:15didn't know better, it would seem that
  351. 14:17Chris is continuing to look for ways to
  352. 14:19elicit sympathy from his family. But
  353. 14:22just miles away at exactly 5 p.m.,
  354. 14:25Nicole Kessinger begins a series of
  355. 14:27seemingly incrimin Yeah, you can't tell
  356. 14:29me that that is not red flag material.
  357. 14:33Google searches that would later be
  358. 14:35identified by Detective Prill's data
  359. 14:37report. And by the end of this video,
  360. 14:39you will understand why this new
  361. 14:41information directly answers the
  362. 14:43question that Detective Prill asked
  363. 14:45nearly seven years ago. One hour later,
  364. 14:48at 6 p.m., Chris's phone notified him of
  365. 14:50a calendar entry that he labeled as
  366. 14:52talk. In the days following, law
  367. 14:54enforcement would determine that Chris
  368. 14:55had attempted to create a trail of
  369. 14:57breadcrumbs that he hoped would lead
  370. 14:59investigators to the false conclusion
  371. 15:00that Shannan and the girls had simply
  372. 15:02disappeared. Chris Watts wrongly hoped
  373. 15:04that they would come to the conclusion
  374. 15:06that he was nothing more than a loving
  375. 15:08father trying to locate his family. Just
  376. 15:1026 minutes later and Chris text his
  377. 15:12close friend Nick the letting him know
  378. 15:14that he would be on his way to his house
  379. 15:16after he stopped for gas. But while on
  380. 15:18route to spend the night at the Theer
  381. 15:20residence, Watts received a call from
  382. 15:22the Frederick Police Department.
  383. 15:23Detective Coder was requesting that
  384. 15:25Chris come into the office and answer
  385. 15:27some questions concerning this highly
  386. 15:29suspicious disappearance. his entire
  387. 15:31family. Watts would turn around and make
  388. 15:33his way to the police department in what
  389. 15:35would become the beginning of the end of
  390. 15:37his paper thin story. It's here that
  391. 15:39Chris would begin his first inoff
  392. 15:42interview with law enforcement. But this
  393. 15:44is also my very first time reviewing
  394. 15:46this footage. And when we conclude our
  395. 15:48analysis of all the lies that Chris told
  396. 15:50that day, you will learn something that
  397. 15:52no one in law enforcement has ever
  398. 15:54disclosed about this case. information
  399. 15:56that is now central to my formal request
  400. 15:59to the Weld County District Attorney's
  401. 16:01Office that they finally reopen this
  402. 16:03investigation and determine the extent
  403. 16:05of what and the guy that's behind behind
  404. 16:08criminal minds, he's a lawyer.
  405. 16:12Chris and we're hiding because it's time
  406. 16:14that we find out the truth. Hey man,
  407. 16:16brother.
  408. 16:20By the time that Chris Watts arrived at
  409. 16:22the Frederick Police Department that
  410. 16:23evening, law enforcement was already
  411. 16:25firmly aware that he was their likely
  412. 16:27primary suspect in the then
  413. 16:29disappearance of his wife and children.
  414. 16:31Anna Darko's human resource department
  415. 16:33had already informed law enforcement
  416. 16:34that Watts was communicating regularly
  417. 16:36with fellow employee Nicole Kessinger.
  418. 16:39Additionally, they had already obtained
  419. 16:41detailed phone records and knew that
  420. 16:43Chris and Nicole were far more but they
  421. 16:45were still talking and then she was
  422. 16:47deleting the messages than mere
  423. 16:49co-workers. Detective Graham Coder was
  424. 16:52tasked with the job of trying to
  425. 16:53ascertain what Chris had done with his
  426. 16:55family, but doing so without causing
  427. 16:57Chris to completely shut down. But one
  428. 17:00thing is certain, no one could have
  429. 17:02imagined just how dark this case was
  430. 17:04about to become.
  431. 17:08I'm going sit next to you so we get it
  432. 17:10together.
  433. 17:12So, what I want is he's sitting next to
  434. 17:17uh Chris Watts, more like a buddy buddy
  435. 17:19kind of thing. So, um he feels like he's
  436. 17:22engaging with Chris. They're trying to
  437. 17:25find out where his family went. Um
  438. 17:28trying to not befriend him, but seem
  439. 17:31like he's on his side. a bunch of people
  440. 17:34coming in, you know, from your
  441. 17:36neighborhood. Somebody saw something,
  442. 17:38somebody knows where these kids are. And
  443. 17:38I keep saying kids, I'm sorry. Kids
  444. 17:40know.
  445. 17:41And I should say, um, I work these quite
  446. 17:45a bit. And so tonight, if I make one of
  447. 17:47those mistakes when I say kids instead
  448. 17:48of your wife and kids, I apologize. We
  449. 17:51work it a lot. I apologize if something
  450. 17:52comes out wrong or, um, anyway. So, I
  451. 17:56know you're going through a lot, so I'm
  452. 17:58not going to keep you here all night. We
  453. 17:59go through this. From the moment
  454. 18:01Detective Coder walks through the door,
  455. 18:03he is demonstrating the behavior of an
  456. 18:05investigator who understands the gravity
  457. 18:07of this moment. He employs the
  458. 18:09well-known tactic of closing the gap
  459. 18:11between him and Chris, which
  460. 18:13subconsciously helps to remove his
  461. 18:14internal defenses. And I'm not a
  462. 18:17professional that went to school and I
  463. 18:20know that. And in so doing, he ensures
  464. 18:23that Chris never succeeds in closing off
  465. 18:25and walking out of that interview room.
  466. 18:28It's a tactic that will slowly force
  467. 18:30Chris to do the one thing that he hates
  468. 18:32to do the most. Telling the truth. So,
  469. 18:35okay. Or tell the truth. What does that
  470. 18:38mean? So, the doorbell has a a camera on
  471. 18:41it. When you get up to a certain
  472. 18:42proximity and when you ring it, it
  473. 18:44detects a visitor. Okay. Detective Coder
  474. 18:46just asked Chris about the home security
  475. 18:48system that detected Shannan's arrival
  476. 18:50just after midnight on the morning of
  477. 18:52August 13th. Now, it's very likely that
  478. 18:54Detective Coder already knows what the
  479. 18:56security notification meant, but he
  480. 18:58wants Chris to know the enormity of the
  481. 19:01information that law enforcement already
  482. 19:03has. And even more so, he wants to hear
  483. 19:05the way that Chris answers the question.
  484. 19:07If you watch closely, you can see that
  485. 19:09right after he answers him, Detective
  486. 19:11Coder stands up to close the door. And
  487. 19:14you can see Chris's body language
  488. 19:16changed right before your eyes. Watts is
  489. 19:18demonstrating all of the telltale signs
  490. 19:20of a man who is trapped and very clearly
  491. 19:22doing everything in his power to hide
  492. 19:24the truth. So, I work a lot of stuff
  493. 19:26like this in bank robberies and when I
  494. 19:27talk to, you know, a witness of a bank
  495. 19:29robbery, sometimes I find it best for
  496. 19:31them to just say, uh, I just say, uh,
  497. 19:34tell me what happened, get it all out,
  498. 19:35and then once you get it out, let's go
  499. 19:36over it. Okay? So, just get it all out
  500. 19:38as far as this. Tell me exactly what you
  501. 19:40remember, and I'll take notes about
  502. 19:41where we can go. Did you catch that?
  503. 19:43Detective Coder has just told Chris that
  504. 19:45he would like for him to tell the story
  505. 19:47of what happened in his own words from
  506. 19:49the beginning, but he equated his past
  507. 19:51experience as an investigator to
  508. 19:53interviewing victims of a bank robbery.
  509. 19:55Law enforcement already knows that Chris
  510. 19:57and Nicole are likely having an affair
  511. 19:59based on the records they have alone.
  512. 20:01And at the same time that we see Chris
  513. 20:03in this So now that he's pushing him
  514. 20:05here, he's trying to get him to feel
  515. 20:07like he he has no way out. Hot seat. His
  516. 20:10mistress Nicole is just miles away
  517. 20:13speaking with the FBI at a local park,
  518. 20:15absolutely lying through her teeth. But
  519. 20:18right now, Detective Coder needs to get
  520. 20:20Chris to tell him his first version of
  521. 20:22the truth. And he needs to do it before
  522. 20:25he shuts down the interview and requests
  523. 20:27a lawyer, which he never does. 1:40 a.m.
  524. 20:30chairs when they come knocking.
  525. 20:43Detective Coder has just proven what a
  526. 20:46skilled interrogator he is. Because this
  527. 20:48important seat change was started right
  528. 20:50as Chris began telling his first version
  529. 20:52of events. It's clear that he wants
  530. 20:54Chris to feel trapped by this
  531. 20:56positioning, putting himself between
  532. 20:58Chris and the door. And I'm not a
  533. 21:00professional, and I knew that.
  534. 21:03He wants Chris to know that he's not
  535. 21:05leaving. But more than anything else,
  536. 21:07Detective Coder, the father and husband,
  537. 21:09he wants to know what Chris did. He
  538. 21:12wants to know where to find his family.
  539. 21:14So, we're doorbell.
  540. 21:18So, when we were um over at the
  541. 21:20neighbor's house that the next day, we
  542. 21:21were looking at his camera as well, and
  543. 21:23it didn't show anybody walking up to the
  544. 21:25driveway, which is kind of weird. That's
  545. 21:26the only reason to put that on there
  546. 21:27because it showed Nicole dropping her
  547. 21:29off, but nobody actually walking up to
  548. 21:30the house. It was kind of weird. But she
  549. 21:32was in the house. Come in. Listen, I
  550. 21:34understand that criminals say and do
  551. 21:37very dumb things sometimes, but it
  552. 21:39doesn't make any sense to me why Chris
  553. 21:41thought anything good would come of this
  554. 21:43stupid lie. He just admitted to
  555. 21:45Detective Coder that the neighbor's
  556. 21:46camera never caught Shannan's arrival
  557. 21:48that morning, which means he knows that
  558. 21:50law enforcement is aware of the fact
  559. 21:52that the neighbor's camera also never
  560. 21:54showed anyone but him leaving that same
  561. 21:56morning. But I suppose that's why Chris
  562. 21:59can never seem to maintain eye contact
  563. 22:01throughout this entire interview because
  564. 22:02he knows he's a terrible liar and
  565. 22:05absolutely everyone can see. Oh, he
  566. 22:07thinks he's a great liar. Yeah. What
  567. 22:10time you talking? It's still
  568. 22:13uh 2 a.m. Jane gets into bed with me. 4
  569. 22:16a.m. That's when my alarm goes off for
  570. 22:17work and she get dressed, brushing
  571. 22:19teeth, everything I do upstairs. Okay.
  572. 22:21About 4:15, that's when I get back,
  573. 22:24slide right into bed next to her and
  574. 22:25start having a conversation with her
  575. 22:27about having the house up for sale and
  576. 22:30talking about it, like actually going
  577. 22:32proceeding with the separation. Okay.
  578. 22:34And obviously it gets pretty emotional
  579. 22:35like we're talking about like we felt
  580. 22:37this the disconnection over there like
  581. 22:38falling out of love and trying to stay
  582. 22:41together maybe just for the kids sake
  583. 22:42but we're realizing that doing like our
  584. 22:44homework is not most of the time that's
  585. 22:46not going to work. Yeah. Now for many of
  586. 22:48us who have taken the time to study this
  587. 22:50case all of this is very familiar. We
  588. 22:52know that this is the first series of
  589. 22:54lies that Chris will tell law
  590. 22:55enforcement and that eventually he will
  591. 22:57alter his story more than a few times.
  592. 23:00But it's at this point of the interview
  593. 23:01that I realized something. Chris's story
  594. 23:03is surprisingly very detailed and as we
  595. 23:06know very fabricated and from everything
  596. 23:08we know about Chris it's like if
  597. 23:10somebody went and studied it clear that
  598. 23:13throughout his or rehearsed it
  599. 23:16upbringing and his marriage that he was
  600. 23:17the kind of person who followed the
  601. 23:19strong women in his life in his early
  602. 23:21years that was his mother then it was
  603. 23:24Shannan but right here right now it's
  604. 23:26Nicole Kessinger and I just can't help
  605. 23:29but notice how rehearsed specific and
  606. 23:32detailed this lie is and I promise you
  607. 23:35that will become very important in the
  608. 23:37very near future. And it is pretty much
  609. 23:39because we have two beautiful kids and
  610. 23:41we have one on the way. So it's just a
  611. 23:43matter of like it was very emotional. We
  612. 23:45were both crying and at the end we just
  613. 23:48said, you know, she said she was going
  614. 23:49to take the kids to office today and she
  615. 23:51would be back.
  616. 23:53Listen, we all know that Chris Watts is
  617. 23:55capable of concocting lies with relative
  618. 23:57ease. But it's hard not to notice just
  619. 24:00how calm he is right now because
  620. 24:02remember, it's only been about 24 hours
  621. 24:04since Chris committed what is easily one
  622. 24:06of the most grizzly and heinous crimes
  623. 24:09anyone could ever commit. I'd be a
  624. 24:11blubbering idiot. That in the hours
  625. 24:13following his crimes, he felt a sense of
  626. 24:15relief that he was now happy because he
  627. 24:17could finally be with Nicole Kessinger.
  628. 24:20So then I can't help but ask the
  629. 24:21question, why would he be so confident
  630. 24:24in such obvious lies? It's almost as cuz
  631. 24:27he thought he was going to get away with
  632. 24:29this. Though Chris had reason to believe
  633. 24:32that this poorly planned deceit had
  634. 24:34caused. And because of new information,
  635. 24:36we now know that Chris was communicating
  636. 24:39with Nicole through a second secret app
  637. 24:41that they clearly both believed that law
  638. 24:44enforcement would never find. And it
  639. 24:46really seems that Chris believed was
  640. 24:49waiting for him on the other side. And
  641. 24:51until law enforcement subpoenas those
  642. 24:53records, we cannot know with certainty.
  643. 24:55I've always thought too, and somebody
  644. 24:57brought this to my attention as well,
  645. 24:58they thought that Chris's phone was
  646. 25:01actually recording the conversation,
  647. 25:04which again, we can't prove. Um, it's
  648. 25:07technically off, but sometimes pretty
  649. 25:09much when you can, I've done it too when
  650. 25:11I've had to record things in the past.
  651. 25:13You take the phone and you pretty much
  652. 25:15put it down or you just turn it off but
  653. 25:18it continuously or you don't turn it off
  654. 25:20but you turn off the screen and it still
  655. 25:22records because all you have to do is
  656. 25:25and it turns on the the face.
  657. 25:29So, it's a possibility
  658. 25:31what Chris and Nicole said, but it sure
  659. 25:34seems like his words were carefully
  660. 25:35planned with the singular intent of
  661. 25:38being with Nicole and ultimately to do
  662. 25:40whatever it took to get away with
  663. 25:42murder. And so I went out there my
  664. 25:45protein shake the 5 a.m. That's when I
  665. 25:48did that pack my lunch box and my
  666. 25:50oatmeal chicken took my water dug up.
  667. 25:535:15 I went outside back my truck I
  668. 25:55would load up have my book bag my lunch
  669. 25:57box computer water jug my big big clear
  670. 25:59container I put big clear containers in
  671. 26:01my truck so it's easy just to pull out
  672. 26:02pull in just depending on what I'm going
  673. 26:04to use kit I know I was going to do some
  674. 26:06stuffing box rubbers that day so I got
  675. 26:08some various open wrenches for my tool
  676. 26:10box I know doesn't work better than the
  677. 26:12ones they would give me okay um 5:30
  678. 26:15that's when I went to work and I had
  679. 26:18heard from took her about 2 hours there
  680. 26:20so 7:40 I texted her and after she could
  681. 26:22tell where the kids or if she took him
  682. 26:24anywhere. Okay. Nothing. Okay. What we
  683. 26:27just heard was Chris describing the
  684. 26:28morning of August 13th, 2018. You
  685. 26:31remember the exact same time that Nicole
  686. 26:33Kessinger's phone just happened to ping
  687. 26:35from the cell tower directly next to the
  688. 26:37Watts's home and everything that and
  689. 26:40they want us to believe that she was
  690. 26:42driving by on the way to work.
  691. 26:45She didn't clock into work almost an
  692. 26:46hour before her shift ended. She has no
  693. 26:50alibi.
  694. 26:53he is saying seems so much worse when
  695. 26:56you know what he was actually doing that
  696. 26:58morning and the lengths that he had gone
  697. 27:00to to completely annihilate every good
  698. 27:03thing that he had ever been entrusted
  699. 27:05with 12 again called me nothing and then
  700. 27:08about 12:10 p.m. That's my doorbell
  701. 27:10visitor another visitor and I was like
  702. 27:12it popped up on my phone and it says it
  703. 27:14was Nicole and I trying I put it on my
  704. 27:17phone to see if like she was trying to
  705. 27:19get in or whatnot and I hear like she's
  706. 27:20on the phone trying to I could I could
  707. 27:22hear her on through my phone saying she
  708. 27:23was trying to get to Shenan so that's
  709. 27:24when I called her help her at 12:20. She
  710. 27:27wasn't going on. She told me that Shan
  711. 27:28hadn't responded to any of her calls all
  712. 27:30day or any of her friends calls all day.
  713. 27:33That's that's kind that's very strange
  714. 27:34just because I mean she doesn't mean
  715. 27:36that that's fine. You know, like she
  716. 27:37gets busy with the kids, whatever. She's
  717. 27:39back to her people like the people like
  718. 27:40she works with direct sales. Okay. So,
  719. 27:42she's back with them. That's strange.
  720. 27:44She doesn't have to answer the phone for
  721. 27:46me. Why do you say that when she tries
  722. 27:48to get a hold of me? It's okay if she
  723. 27:49doesn't like
  724. 27:52why so much emphasis on that all.
  725. 27:58It's been said so many times throughout
  726. 28:00the history of this case, but Nicole
  727. 28:02Atkinson is the reason why Shannan and
  728. 28:05the girls were found so quickly. If she
  729. 28:07hadn't been as aggressive, forcing Chris
  730. 28:10to come home that afternoon, this case
  731. 28:11may not have had the same conclusion.
  732. 28:14But it's here, only minutes into the
  733. 28:15first formal interview with Chris Watts,
  734. 28:17that I want to remind you of why we
  735. 28:20continue to discuss this case. Because
  736. 28:22in just 85 days from the date of this
  737. 28:24interview, this case and all outstanding
  738. 28:27investigatory leads will be closed by
  739. 28:29District Attorney Michael Ror's office.
  740. 28:32The same there's other cases that were
  741. 28:34less bad or way
  742. 28:40h how I want to say this less gruesome,
  743. 28:43less um destruction. And they took
  744. 28:47months if not years
  745. 28:51And this murder case of a quadruple
  746. 28:54homicide, possibly an involvement of a
  747. 28:56mistress is done in 85 days.
  748. 29:02Who from the onset of this case has told
  749. 29:04the general public in so many words that
  750. 29:06the conviction of Chris Watts outweighed
  751. 29:09the importance of completing their
  752. 29:10investigation, holding everyone involved
  753. 29:13accountable, and obtaining justice. um
  754. 29:17everyone involved
  755. 29:19having them claim or um take
  756. 29:23accountability.
  757. 29:25I don't think Nicole took any
  758. 29:26accountability for anything. About 12:40
  759. 29:30funerals from Nicole to reach her while
  760. 29:32she was there like outside the house and
  761. 29:34at 1:00 that's when I left. I was like
  762. 29:36all right on my way down there. Uh two
  763. 29:38o'clock when I got home. Uh took him 45
  764. 29:40minutes to get there. They couldn't get
  765. 29:42in because 45 minutes late to keep the
  766. 29:45kids. Uh Nicole and the police officed
  767. 29:55and the keypad on the outside did not
  768. 29:57work in the garage. So they had to wait
  769. 29:59till I got there so I can get the remote
  770. 30:00open. And this is why I am a vocal
  771. 30:03supporter of Nicole Atkinson.
  772. 30:06was caught far earlier than his plan had
  773. 30:08accounted for. Originally, he was hoping
  774. 30:10that he would have enough time to go to
  775. 30:12work, leave at a normal time, all while
  776. 30:14sending messages faking his concern for
  777. 30:16Shannan. He needed time to get home,
  778. 30:19move her car, her phone, and all of the
  779. 30:21crime scene evidence to get it as far
  780. 30:23away from his house as possible. That's
  781. 30:26why it's so critical that Chris was
  782. 30:28interrupted before he could get home and
  783. 30:30dispose of Shannan's belongings. And
  784. 30:32it's why his story didn't make any sense
  785. 30:35in light of the evidence. Because the
  786. 30:36only logical explanation for why Shannan
  787. 30:39and the girls were never seen leaving
  788. 30:41the Watts home on camera is because they
  789. 30:43left in his truck and that Chris truly
  790. 30:46is the monster that everyone believes
  791. 30:48him to be. I don't agree with that. I
  792. 30:50open the garage door and went inside the
  793. 30:52house and looked everywhere and most
  794. 30:55nowhere to be found. Never called out.
  795. 30:58Her phone's still on the couch. Her
  796. 30:59purse is still there. Messing with the
  797. 31:00kids still there. The car and the car
  798. 31:02seat still there and there's no sign of
  799. 31:03anywhere. Okay. Okay. Does anyone else
  800. 31:06notice that Chris is reading from a
  801. 31:07document? That would mean that in a span
  802. 31:10of just over 24 hours, created a
  803. 31:12detailed outline of the prior day's
  804. 31:15events. Put that in perspective for just
  805. 31:17a minute. Chris was not known to do
  806. 31:19things like this. A highly organized
  807. 31:22person who was also incredibly
  808. 31:24meticulous. He was the puppet. There is
  809. 31:26a puppeteer.
  810. 31:28Chris was not able to do all this stuff.
  811. 31:31He was the follower while everybody else
  812. 31:33led. He followed. He didn't instruct. He
  813. 31:37didn't.
  814. 31:38Yeah. I don't know how much more like
  815. 31:42Behind Criminal Minds is doing a
  816. 31:44fantastic job because he's a
  817. 31:46professional. He knows how to use the
  818. 31:47words better than me and it's it's right
  819. 31:51there in front of us. And yet the DA is
  820. 31:53like, "We're done. We're we're not going
  821. 31:55to touch this anymore. Goodbye." like
  822. 31:58you are full of
  823. 32:01crap. I wanted to say other stuff but
  824. 32:04about dates, times, and events. Well,
  825. 32:06wouldn't you know it, there was someone
  826. 32:07in his life who happened to be very
  827. 32:09detailed about dates, times, and events.
  828. 32:11And if you turn to page 942 of the Watts
  829. 32:14Discovery, you'll find this
  830. 32:16exceptionally detailed outline that came
  831. 32:19from none other than Nicole Kessinger.
  832. 32:22But this I still don't think even think
  833. 32:24that this was Nicole Kessinger. It might
  834. 32:27have been
  835. 32:28help from her father. I don't know. Than
  836. 32:31Nicole Kessinger herself. In fact, it's
  837. 32:33so detailed it provides a near forensic
  838. 32:36level recollection of the day-to-day
  839. 32:38events concerning Nicole's supposedly
  840. 32:40short acquaintance with Chris Watts. You
  841. 32:43know, I just think it's very, very
  842. 32:44interesting that Chris is reading from a
  843. 32:46surprisingly similar document that
  844. 32:48outlines the events of the day prior in
  845. 32:51virtually the exact same way that Nicole
  846. 32:53Kessinger does just weeks later. And if
  847. 32:55you're the kind of person who sees this
  848. 32:57eversized mountain of suspicious
  849. 32:59behavior from Nicole as nothing more
  850. 33:01than mere coincidence, then good news. I
  851. 33:03have some property to sell you. Okay,
  852. 33:05I'm not going to say it, but my point
  853. 33:07still stands because at some point law
  854. 33:09enforcement needs to be honest with the
  855. 33:11monumental mistakes they made on this
  856. 33:13case, and you're about to see why. 3:00
  857. 33:17um that police officer detective
  858. 33:21Howard, right? I guess
  859. 33:25every time Nicole and I know questions
  860. 33:27about where she could have gone or who
  861. 33:29she could be with. Um at about 4:00
  862. 33:32police officers out there. He was
  863. 33:33checking neighbor security footage. Um
  864. 33:36at 5:00 p.m. uh the same same police
  865. 33:38officer, detective and a sergeant,
  866. 33:39another officer, they showed up and they
  867. 33:41searched the house again. Um about 6:00
  868. 33:44being called around anyone that I could
  869. 33:46that that may know something called
  870. 33:47hospitals, hotels. Uh 7:30 is my friend
  871. 33:50Nick Man showed up to show support his
  872. 33:52friends showing up just Lauren Dave
  873. 33:55Jeremy and 10 pretty much lay down but I
  874. 33:57didn't go to bed till like just feel the
  875. 33:59text and calls all night. Okay. And I
  876. 34:02was hoping that on the house I was
  877. 34:03hoping that I get a knock on my door but
  878. 34:06nothing happened. Do you know what
  879. 34:07absolutely blows my mind about this
  880. 34:09case? It has been nearly seven years
  881. 34:11since Chris committed this crime. And in
  882. 34:13all that time, he has never once
  883. 34:15attempted to sincerely apologize for
  884. 34:17what he did. In fact, he's done just he
  885. 34:20sent a letter.
  886. 34:23Okay, it's the exact opposite. He's
  887. 34:25forced friends, family members, and
  888. 34:26acquaintances to live with this endless
  889. 34:29black hole of suffering because he
  890. 34:31simply refuses to just tell the truth.
  891. 34:33He co-opted people who loved him in an
  892. 34:35attempt to gain their sympathy. And now
  893. 34:38once again, he's changed his story to
  894. 34:40put the blame on anyone other than
  895. 34:42himself. And one of the worst elements
  896. 34:44of this case is that because he lied so
  897. 34:47much and so often that even if he does
  898. 34:49decide to tell the truth someday, we
  899. 34:51won't believe him. Won't even believe
  900. 34:53him. But I suppose that's why so many of
  901. 34:55us still see this case as incomplete
  902. 34:58because the truth deserves to have its
  903. 35:00day even if Chris refuses to participate
  904. 35:03in making it a reality. What do you
  905. 35:05think happened? And the whole thing with
  906. 35:08the Rousex knowing about NK not being
  907. 35:11involved. Great. That's fantastic.
  908. 35:14But why can't we see it?
  909. 35:18Cuz I guarantee if you release that
  910. 35:19information that implies that Nicole
  911. 35:22Kessinger was not there,
  912. 35:25this case will go quiet. This case will
  913. 35:28be done.
  914. 35:30I telling you.
  915. 35:33At first, I really thought maybe she was
  916. 35:35just at somebody house just
  917. 35:36decompressing. Yeah. But after today,
  918. 35:39like with the onslaught of all the cars,
  919. 35:41I all the police cars, all the news, all
  920. 35:43the K9 units,
  921. 35:45it's making me lean the other direction
  922. 35:47about someone took her. Okay. But it's
  923. 35:49just
  924. 35:51if someone took her, it would have to
  925. 35:53have been someone she knew you because
  926. 35:55there's there's no sign of anything like
  927. 35:57being disturbed, broken, but like that's
  928. 35:59the way I know. At first I thought girl
  929. 36:01she was a decompression somewhere. I
  930. 36:03mean I thought she was safe even though
  931. 36:04everything in the house is left there
  932. 36:07but now it's just after today with the
  933. 36:08news crew and everything more the other
  934. 36:10direction and it's freaking me out
  935. 36:13because I have no idea where where they
  936. 36:14are
  937. 36:17really. Since I began this channel, I
  938. 36:19have spent countless hours researching
  939. 36:22every nook and cranny of this case.
  940. 36:25About Chris's upbringing, the way he
  941. 36:26carried himself with his friends, his
  942. 36:28parents, but especially I've talked to
  943. 36:30people that were Chris Watts's friends
  944. 36:33that grew up with him as children
  945. 36:37and they have pictures to prove it.
  946. 36:41Around Shannan. Now, it's obvious that
  947. 36:43Chris Watts was a terrible liar and
  948. 36:45incredibly self-diluted. a man incapable
  949. 36:48of seeing the forest for the trees. But
  950. 36:50in the months following his conviction,
  951. 36:52law enforcement was so baffled by his
  952. 36:54crime that they conducted a follow-up
  953. 36:56interview at his prison in an effort to
  954. 36:58try to understand why he would do this.
  955. 37:00I still think it's for NK, but some
  956. 37:03people think it's that's not for why
  957. 37:05they went there. Law enforcement has
  958. 37:08admitted that Chris Watts did not fit
  959. 37:11any of their current or existing
  960. 37:13offender profiles. And every single time
  961. 37:15that I hear him speak, all I hear are
  962. 37:18the words of a man who I believe was so
  963. 37:20clearly influenced into committing this
  964. 37:22crime. And that's why I will never
  965. 37:24understand why DA Ror refuses to admit
  966. 37:27his clear failures and finally properly
  967. 37:30investigate this crime to fix what they
  968. 37:33so clearly broke. If you could think of
  969. 37:37anything we could do to find them, what
  970. 37:39would it be?
  971. 37:42I mean, everything have exhausted so far
  972. 37:45like people that have car seats because
  973. 37:47she's left the car seat and she would
  974. 37:49never he hasn't exhausted crap regular
  975. 37:52chair because she's about that timeless
  976. 37:55isn't quite there yet but
  977. 37:58all the people that I know that have
  978. 38:00they contacted me unless it's I mean
  979. 38:03there's there's definitely a chance
  980. 38:04somebody I don't know I mean a guy or
  981. 38:06girl I mean and she has plenty of
  982. 38:08friends through like direct sales that I
  983. 38:10I've never met that could have could
  984. 38:13have a kid that she they probably just
  985. 38:15say, you know, let's go. Like, just back
  986. 38:17up in the back, put them, man. Let's go.
  987. 38:19Did you just hear that? Christa said
  988. 38:21something that I now believe is a
  989. 38:22critical part of this case. He just
  990. 38:25said, and she has plenty of friends
  991. 38:26through direct sales that I have never
  992. 38:28met. They could have a kid and they
  993. 38:30could have come and said, "Hey, let's
  994. 38:31go." And they back up to the back of the
  995. 38:33house, put them in and go. Chris is
  996. 38:35telling law enforcement that there is
  997. 38:37another way in and out of his house
  998. 38:40other than the front door. He's giving
  999. 38:43law enforcement key information that
  1000. 38:44they seemingly missed over and over
  1001. 38:47again. It's evident in the way that he
  1002. 38:49describes the situation that he wants
  1003. 38:51them to know that there is an alternate
  1004. 38:53route into his house through Verbina
  1005. 38:55Court. This road here that goes directly
  1006. 38:58up to their tiny backyard fence that
  1007. 39:01nobody anyone could have easily
  1008. 39:03traversed. All those buildings back
  1009. 39:06there nobody lived in yet.
  1010. 39:11You know, kind of like an obsessive
  1011. 39:13mistress whose phone just happened to
  1012. 39:15ping from Frederick that and says she
  1013. 39:16likes in the back door. Never mind.
  1014. 39:18Morning. So, it starts to make a lot
  1015. 39:20more sense why Chris is now telling law
  1016. 39:22enforcement how Shannan could have
  1017. 39:23disappeared because that very well may
  1018. 39:26have been how Nicole Kessinger
  1019. 39:27disappeared that morning. And this is
  1020. 39:29like that's what's driving me nuts. when
  1021. 39:31I tell the news like if she's out there
  1022. 39:33like just come home like who if someone
  1023. 39:36has her or might not just have her but
  1024. 39:37she's at somebody's house and she's just
  1025. 39:39progressing it's it's time to come back
  1026. 39:40now this is real okay this has gone to a
  1027. 39:43different level absolutely
  1028. 39:48do you have any this guy is like you're
  1029. 39:51full of crap Chris if it's good or bad
  1030. 39:56yesterday I would thought that she was
  1031. 39:58safe and she was good that she would
  1032. 40:01as you come home today is more on the
  1033. 40:03other side. I don't think that she would
  1034. 40:06let it spar if she was depressing
  1035. 40:08somewhere. I mean, she's not talking to
  1036. 40:09anybody as far as I mean, people that
  1037. 40:11reached out to me that I had talked to
  1038. 40:12in like years that are friends with her.
  1039. 40:15What we just heard is the exact same
  1040. 40:17response that Chris gave to the local
  1041. 40:19news that opened the door to the public
  1042. 40:21believing that he was involved.
  1043. 40:23Listening to the way he says these
  1044. 40:25words, it's impossible not to notice
  1045. 40:27just how completely inauthentic it is.
  1046. 40:29And it's evident throughout this entire
  1047. 40:31series of interviews that Chris had no
  1048. 40:33earthly idea just how guilty he sounded.
  1049. 40:36And I wonder if someday he'll come to
  1050. 40:38the realization that the only way he
  1051. 40:40will ever atone for what he did is to
  1052. 40:42just tell the whole truth. And local law
  1053. 40:45enforcement. He's literally said that
  1054. 40:47he'll go to um his grave with
  1055. 40:51information that he has. He just won't
  1056. 40:53tell us like the
  1057. 40:57what is that one that it starts with an
  1058. 41:00Oxycodone
  1059. 41:03that he doesn't know where he got or he
  1060. 41:06got it from somebody but that will he'll
  1061. 41:08take that to his grave and that there's
  1062. 41:11things that he did with Nicole in her
  1063. 41:14house that he is very much ashamed of
  1064. 41:17which could be maybe he was doing
  1065. 41:19something hokeyp pokey three-way with uh
  1066. 41:22Nicole, Jim, and him
  1067. 41:26might have given up on that outcome. I
  1068. 41:28still haven't. When they look at this,
  1069. 41:30what's the best thing that they can do
  1070. 41:31to I don't know to say um look for these
  1071. 41:35contacts, look for this Instagram,
  1072. 41:37Snapchat. The only thing on here that's
  1073. 41:40I would say it's going to be weird
  1074. 41:41because our and um
  1075. 41:47ATS news has got information about um
  1076. 41:52well she got some pictures um from Chris
  1077. 41:55Watts's Snapchat
  1078. 41:58and it's like how much stuff went
  1079. 41:59through Snapchat that we don't know
  1080. 42:01about. contactless is the same.
  1081. 42:03Detective Graham Coder and Agent Tammy
  1082. 42:05Lee should have been allowed to take
  1083. 42:07their time with this investigation
  1084. 42:09because it's only been 15 minutes and
  1085. 42:12Detective Coder has already asked the
  1086. 42:14question that everyone in this
  1087. 42:16investigation should have demanded
  1088. 42:18answers to. Coder asks Watts if did you
  1089. 42:20have an accomplice? There's an Instagram
  1090. 42:23or a Snapchat that they can review on
  1091. 42:25Chris's phone when they eventually
  1092. 42:27download all of his phone data. What if
  1093. 42:29he deleted them? He got rid of Facebook.
  1094. 42:32You can't tell me he wasn't able to look
  1095. 42:34at um Instagram or
  1096. 42:40Tik Tok or how old is Tik Tok? Alexa,
  1097. 42:44how old is Tik Tok?
  1098. 42:46Here is an answer from an Alexa
  1099. 42:49contributor that I translated. Tik Tok
  1100. 42:51appeared in 2014, so it's Alexa, stop.
  1101. 42:55So yeah, it could have been that he had
  1102. 42:57that and um we've heard that they talked
  1103. 43:01on Skype. So that's a possib
  1104. 43:05I'm I'm guessing they probably did
  1105. 43:07somewhat check it, but did they? We
  1106. 43:09don't know. It's not the discovery. And
  1107. 43:11if anything was in there about Nicole,
  1108. 43:13it's been redacted.
  1109. 43:15And you'll notice that immediately after
  1110. 43:17he's asked that question, Chris
  1111. 43:19completely changes the subject. Sadly,
  1112. 43:21it's far too early for Detective Coder
  1113. 43:23to understand just how vital this line
  1114. 43:25of questioning was. And sadly, it's
  1115. 43:28taken over half a decade for the answer
  1116. 43:30to that question to come to light. That
  1117. 43:33proves the inadequacy of this
  1118. 43:34investigation. Is there any good ideas
  1119. 43:37that your friends have had saying I got
  1120. 43:38to try this? I got to do this. A lot of
  1121. 43:40people have asked about Amber Alerts,
  1122. 43:41but I'm not sure like why that I'm not
  1123. 43:42sure like I'm sure you know Amber alerts
  1124. 43:44have to do it like all right if you know
  1125. 43:45someone has taken a kid, but since the
  1126. 43:47last person you saw was the mom, you
  1127. 43:48know, same thing everybody's gone.
  1128. 43:50That's why not really used this respect.
  1129. 43:53Well, they did they did a press
  1130. 43:54statement. Listen, I understand that
  1131. 43:56Chris was hiding one of the most vile
  1132. 43:58crime scenes in Colorado history, but I
  1133. 44:00genuinely cannot understand his complete
  1134. 44:03apathy towards his own children. It
  1135. 44:06seems like he doesn't even know how
  1136. 44:08objectively bizarre his behavior is. He
  1137. 44:10cares. He can't even seem to competently
  1138. 44:13fake concern over the reality that his
  1139. 44:15pregnant wife and children are missing.
  1140. 44:17which only further strengthens my view
  1141. 44:19that the only logical explanation of why
  1142. 44:22he could be so FL or Nicole Kessinger
  1143. 44:24and they were so little
  1144. 44:27in his disregard for his family's
  1145. 44:29well-being was because he knew that his
  1146. 44:31mistress was waiting for him and that
  1147. 44:33all he needed to do was find a way to
  1148. 44:35prevent law enforcement from finding the
  1149. 44:37nightmare that he was hiding at Servy
  1150. 44:39319. How could she have left the house?
  1151. 44:44Only way I should have left the house is
  1152. 44:46from my picked her up, but it happened
  1153. 44:47after the camera in the front where the
  1154. 44:50neighbor faces the driveway. They would
  1155. 44:52have picked that up. Only thing I picked
  1156. 44:54up was me leaving at like 56. Okay. I
  1157. 44:57didn't know you were. It's neighbor's
  1158. 44:58hammer.
  1159. 45:00We were all over there watching it with
  1160. 45:01the
  1161. 45:03loading up my truck.
  1162. 45:05Chris is again reminding Detective Coder
  1163. 45:08that the only other way that anyone
  1164. 45:10could have left the house undetected
  1165. 45:12would have been through the backyard
  1166. 45:13since no other movement was picked up by
  1167. 45:15neighbor Nate's camera. But Chris knows
  1168. 45:17that every single person who loves
  1169. 45:19Shannan is telling law enforcement that
  1170. 45:21Shannan would have never left the home
  1171. 45:23without her cell phone, without the
  1172. 45:25girl's car seats, and without which was
  1173. 45:27in the couch. But who put it in the
  1174. 45:29couch? Her medication, let alone
  1175. 45:33everything else she left behind. But
  1176. 45:34Detective Coder is no fool. He knows
  1177. 45:37that Shannan didn't leave through the
  1178. 45:38backyard that morning. And he knows that
  1179. 45:40the only person who does know where she
  1180. 45:42is and where his children are is the man
  1181. 45:45sitting in front of him. So we talked
  1182. 45:46about her decompression a few times.
  1183. 45:48Where would you do that? She would have
  1184. 45:50to go to her friend's house to do that.
  1185. 45:51She wouldn't just go anywhere. No.
  1186. 45:54I've checked. She had if she had any
  1187. 45:56cash on her. I'm not sure like how much
  1188. 45:57she would have had on. She doesn't
  1189. 45:58usually didn't carry much cash. The cash
  1190. 46:00she had in her wallet wasn't to Cole the
  1191. 46:02previous day. Cole. Oh, okay. She told
  1192. 46:04me that the cash gave her when we found
  1193. 46:06her purse for what?
  1194. 46:08I'm not sure. She didn't tell me. Okay.
  1195. 46:10But that was only cash out of her
  1196. 46:11wallet. And is that still at the house
  1197. 46:13she said? Yeah. Okay. So, is her
  1198. 46:15license? Yeah. She got no cash that we
  1199. 46:18know. No license, no phone. Um, anything
  1200. 46:22about the clothes in the closet, the
  1201. 46:24hamper, and drawers that makes you
  1202. 46:25think, did she pack some boots? No one
  1203. 46:27knows.
  1204. 46:28Like, she has so many clothes in that in
  1205. 46:30that closet. Like, it's it'd be hard to
  1206. 46:31really tell if she took A little amount.
  1207. 46:34A big amount. It'd be pretty obvious,
  1208. 46:35but like a little amount.
  1209. 46:38Detective Coder is going step by step
  1210. 46:40through every possible item that Chris
  1211. 46:42claims Shannan left. And there's
  1212. 46:44probably a chat bubble right here that
  1213. 46:45he goes, "Do I really have to listen to
  1214. 46:48this Nimrod talk and lie about
  1215. 46:50everything when we know that
  1216. 46:53he's the he's the bad guy?" behind.
  1217. 46:56While it may seem like he's trying to
  1218. 46:58ascertain where Shannan took the girls,
  1219. 47:00it's very likely that he already knows
  1220. 47:02Shannan's not coming home alive. The
  1221. 47:04point of this exercise is to make Chris
  1222. 47:06say out loud that Shannan left the house
  1223. 47:08without her clothes, her medication, her
  1224. 47:10phone, or anything else the girls needed
  1225. 47:12and let the absurdity of that answer
  1226. 47:15hang in the air and force Chris to the
  1227. 47:17realization that the only avenue he has
  1228. 47:19left is to reveal what he did with his
  1229. 47:21family. But this detective could not
  1230. 47:23have possibly known the lengths that the
  1231. 47:25man sitting in front of him would go to
  1232. 47:27just to avoid the truth. Even at the
  1233. 47:30expense of being labeled one of the most
  1234. 47:32evil men alive. And it's my experience
  1235. 47:34that when you are dealing with someone
  1236. 47:36who refuses to tell the truth, the only
  1237. 47:38option that you have left is to do it
  1238. 47:40for them. Let me back up a tiny bit. You
  1239. 47:42come home, no one has been in the house.
  1240. 47:45No. Okay. No one could get in the house.
  1241. 47:46Is that right? Yeah. Unless you had a
  1242. 47:47garage door. Okay. And that's how you
  1243. 47:49got in. So at this point you be the
  1244. 47:51police at this point. Yes. So you the
  1245. 47:52police Nicole was it person
  1246. 47:58Nicholas?
  1247. 48:01I think it's Nick. And so you and Nicole
  1248. 48:04aren't besties per se. You and although
  1249. 48:07like I mean we're friends but yeah my
  1250. 48:09wife and her good friends. Okay. And so
  1251. 48:12Nick you Nick? No. Okay. Why is Nick
  1252. 48:15there? He was just with her with his
  1253. 48:17mom. Okay.
  1254. 48:19Is there anything about there? Not that
  1255. 48:22I really think of. Do you think anything
  1256. 48:25about your wife not being around? You
  1257. 48:27really don't know why Nicole's there.
  1258. 48:30She's looking for her friend.
  1259. 48:35I would hope not.
  1260. 48:37I mean, like Nicole is one of her good
  1261. 48:39friends. Okay, so let's review.
  1262. 48:41Detective Coder is asking Chris about
  1263. 48:43what happened when he arrived home from
  1264. 48:44work the afternoon of August 13th. He
  1265. 48:46then asks Chris if Nicole Atkinson and
  1266. 48:49her son Nick could have possibly been
  1267. 48:51involved in the disappearance of Shannan
  1268. 48:53and the girls. That's messed up. And
  1269. 48:55that's where the Shannan haters are
  1270. 48:57like, "It was Nicole and her son that
  1271. 49:00took Shannan or M." Like, what
  1272. 49:04that's that's there's people that are
  1273. 49:06doing that. Chris Watts knows that
  1274. 49:08Nicole Atkinson had nothing to do with
  1275. 49:11his crimes and instead of showing but
  1276. 49:13again tries to blame it on somebody else
  1277. 49:16that might be there any semblance of
  1278. 49:18decency by affirming Nicole Atkinson's
  1279. 49:20innocence he instead responds by saying
  1280. 49:23I don't know if she was involved I
  1281. 49:25certainly hope not tried to imagine the
  1282. 49:27enormity of his response if law
  1283. 49:29enforcement didn't already have
  1284. 49:31considerable information that suggested
  1285. 49:33Chris's involvement he could have placed
  1286. 49:35Nicole Atkinson at the center of their
  1287. 49:37investigation, wasting time and more
  1288. 49:39importantly putting an innocent person
  1289. 49:42under suspicion for the crimes that he
  1290. 49:44committed. And while this investigation
  1291. 49:46may have been rushed, we can be grateful
  1292. 49:48that the detectives involved were smart
  1293. 49:50enough to see through the avalanche of
  1294. 49:52what's endless lies and misdirection.
  1295. 49:56Begin calling around to anyone I know
  1296. 49:58that could something
  1297. 50:00call hospitals and hospitals as well. 73
  1298. 50:03friends Nick and come by to show
  1299. 50:05support.
  1300. 50:07So 6 began calling around anyone I know
  1301. 50:09that could know something or maybe seen
  1302. 50:11what happened there. Same thing like
  1303. 50:13everybody that I've talked to is like
  1304. 50:15they haven't heard from her, they
  1305. 50:16haven't seen her, they nothing.
  1306. 50:19Who's helping you make these calls?
  1307. 50:20That's just me. Just point you by
  1308. 50:22yourself. I was by myself. I'm sure
  1309. 50:23Nicole and other people were doing that
  1310. 50:24while they were gone. Detective Coder
  1311. 50:26has been reading directly from the
  1312. 50:28surprisingly detailed outline that Chris
  1313. 50:30brought to his first interview. Cota
  1314. 50:32reads the segment about how Chris called
  1315. 50:33friends to try and see if anyone had
  1316. 50:35heard from Shannan. But then he reads
  1317. 50:37how Chris claimed to have called local
  1318. 50:38hospitals to try and see if Shannan had
  1319. 50:41been admitted. And while this detective
  1320. 50:42doesn't yet know the full scope of the
  1321. 50:44truth, he will soon find out that Chris
  1322. 50:46had made those calls. In fact, what's
  1323. 50:48called Good Samaritan Medical Center,
  1324. 50:50St. Anthony North Health Campus,
  1325. 50:52Longmont United Hospital, and UC Health
  1326. 50:54in Broomfield. The only problem was that
  1327. 50:56Chris made all four of those calls in a
  1328. 50:58span of just four minutes. So, it was
  1329. 51:01quite literally impossible for him to
  1330. 51:03have spoken with anyone at these
  1331. 51:04hospitals and confirmed the absence of
  1332. 51:07his wife and children. But even in spite
  1333. 51:09of the lack of information at this very
  1334. 51:11early stage of their investigation,
  1335. 51:13Detective Coder is about to challenge
  1336. 51:15all of Watt's lies and force him to
  1337. 51:17reveal his tell to reveal the truth
  1338. 51:20behind his lies. Can we talk about some
  1339. 51:23of that?
  1340. 51:26Here we go. work investigations like
  1341. 51:28this, I have to keep an open mind on
  1342. 51:30everything. Okay?
  1343. 51:34And part of keeping an open mind is
  1344. 51:36listening to you talk about your wife
  1345. 51:37and your marriage. And the day she goes
  1346. 51:41missing is the day that you guys have
  1347. 51:42marital discord. Okay.
  1348. 51:45So you can understand about
  1349. 51:50relationship.
  1350. 51:52Like I know like I've talked to a few of
  1351. 51:54my friends like this good on you. I know
  1352. 51:57it's like people that if people knew
  1353. 51:58that we were having marital issues,
  1354. 52:01they're going to look at me, especially
  1355. 52:02with the way everything was. It honestly
  1356. 52:04just makes me sick to my stomach because
  1357. 52:05this is something that I would never do
  1358. 52:09ever. Now, you don't have to be a body
  1359. 52:12language. You can literally see his
  1360. 52:14chest like
  1361. 52:17like it's it's going in and out, in
  1362. 52:20expert to know that everything Chris
  1363. 52:22Watch just said is complete and utter
  1364. 52:24BS. From the way that he responds to the
  1365. 52:26question of his implied involvement to
  1366. 52:28the way he holds his hands, everything
  1367. 52:30about his affect implies guilt.
  1368. 52:32Thankfully, the sheer volume of evidence
  1369. 52:34that law enforcement was building
  1370. 52:36against Watts was already considerable.
  1371. 52:38And this is still a full day before the
  1372. 52:40infamous polygraph. But Detective Coder
  1373. 52:43isn't going to allow Chris to squirm
  1374. 52:44away and deflect from his suspicion. In
  1375. 52:47fact, for the next 45 minutes, this
  1376. 52:49investigator is going to push Watts into
  1377. 52:51an allout confrontation. Coder is going
  1378. 52:53to demand answers for what Chris did to
  1379. 52:56Shannan and the girls. And by the time
  1380. 52:58he's done, law enforcement will know
  1381. 53:00with certainty exactly who their primary
  1382. 53:02suspect is. I know like you have to look
  1383. 53:05at every every vantage point. This is
  1384. 53:07something I was never doing to my kids
  1385. 53:09or my wife at all.
  1386. 53:17Man, the suspense in that room. You can
  1387. 53:20cut it with a knife.
  1388. 53:23I'm not sure like what I could do like
  1389. 53:26to make people believe that just because
  1390. 53:27if they they think you were have marital
  1391. 53:30discord they would automatically me but
  1392. 53:32there's no I would harm anybody in my
  1393. 53:34family
  1394. 53:36at all.
  1395. 53:43I know we were having marital discord
  1396. 53:44and we had that conversation that
  1397. 53:46morning and then she goes we have no
  1398. 53:49idea where she is or the kids.
  1399. 53:52I promise you that has nothing to do
  1400. 53:55with any of that.
  1401. 54:01He just he keeps talking and this
  1402. 54:04detective is
  1403. 54:09like we don't believe a word you're
  1404. 54:10saying dude
  1405. 54:18why should I believe you because I'm
  1406. 54:20very trusting person and the people that
  1407. 54:22do know me they know how I'm a calm
  1408. 54:24person I am not an argumented person I
  1409. 54:27am a person who is that's never going to
  1410. 54:30be abusive physical in any kind of
  1411. 54:32relationship. I will never harm my kids.
  1412. 54:34I will never harm my wife. You can talk
  1413. 54:37to me. You can talk to any of my
  1414. 54:38friends, any of her friends. They know
  1415. 54:41me. They know I'm a lowkey guy that's
  1416. 54:44quiet. I'm not about confrontation. I'm
  1417. 54:47not about anything that elevates to that
  1418. 54:50level. I mean, like if someone yells at
  1419. 54:53me, screams at me, I just hate it. And I
  1420. 54:56just try to get it by the wayside and
  1421. 54:58get it back to where it's a cool just a
  1422. 55:00cool conversation. or like none of that
  1423. 55:01none of that gives that I am not that
  1424. 55:04person over the last two that was that
  1425. 55:07would be true but if he didn't do what
  1426. 55:10he did he was that kind of person where
  1427. 55:12he didn't find drama didn't seek it try
  1428. 55:16to avoid it and so forth but then he
  1429. 55:19goes and murders his family and then
  1430. 55:20that all goes out the window so minutes
  1431. 55:23Chris Watts has unintentionally walked
  1432. 55:25himself into one of the most elaborate
  1433. 55:27traps that he could have when he
  1434. 55:29probably should have said I need to
  1435. 55:30speak to a uh lawyer possibly imagined.
  1436. 55:34Detective Coder is letting Chris convict
  1437. 55:36himself. He wants him to talk because
  1438. 55:38every good investigator understands that
  1439. 55:40they need the defendant to tell their
  1440. 55:42story because every case has the
  1441. 55:45potential to end up in front of a jury
  1442. 55:47or in front of an appellet court. One of
  1443. 55:49the most significant things that Chris
  1444. 55:51said was near the end of that segment.
  1445. 55:53He said, "When someone yells at me or
  1446. 55:55screams at me, I just take it. I believe
  1447. 55:58that the person you need to worry about
  1448. 56:00most, I bet he does. Just take it. It
  1449. 56:03isn't typically the loudmouth or the
  1450. 56:05arrogant braggards or even the ones who
  1451. 56:07may appear dangerous. In my experience,
  1452. 56:10the most perilous person of all is the
  1453. 56:12person who gets yelled and screamed at
