0:01You're afraid people think you may have
0:02done something.
0:03>> Yeah. I mean, no, everybody's going to
0:05have their own opinion on on anything
0:07like this. I just want them people to
0:08know that I want my family back. Like, I
0:10want them safe and I want them here.
0:13Like, this house is not the same. I just
0:17I just want I want everybody just come
0:19home. Like, wherever they're at, come
0:20home. If she's vanished, like, I want
0:22her back so bad. I want those kids back
0:24so bad. They're not safe. Like, I want
0:27them back now.
0:29Like that that that's what's in my head.
0:30Like if they're safe right now, they're
0:32going to come back. But if they're not
0:34safe right now, that's what that's the
0:36not knowing part. Like Yeah. Cuz like
0:38Bella was going to start kindergarten
0:41next next Monday and they they were just
0:44getting ready to start.
0:44>> I I was it was torn tearing me apart
0:47last night and I needed that. I needed
0:49that last night. And
0:50>> hey guys, welcome back to another Chris
0:52Watts video. Today we'll be watching the
0:54infamous front porch interview brought
0:56to you by America's dumbest family
0:59annihilator, Chris Watts.
1:02>> Uh Chris Watts, WATS.
1:06>> What's going on right now around your
1:08house
1:09>> right now? It's got K9 units, the
1:11sheriff's department, everybody's like
1:13they're they're doing their best right
1:15now to figure out like if they can get a
1:17scent and see where they went. They went
1:20on foot. They went in a car. They went
1:22somewhere.
1:23>> Okay. So, I'm stopping at 22 seconds in.
1:26And the reason is because this is one of
1:28the first indicators that I saw at least
1:31the reporter asked him. So, tell us
1:33what's going on at your house. And
1:35Chris, rather than say, "Yeah, my family
1:37is missing." He talks logistics. The
1:39canine unit is here. The cops are here.
1:42They're trying to see if they can catch
1:44a scent to see if they they went
1:45somewhere. Did they go on foot? Did they
1:47go by car? Did they go by train? They're
1:50trying to get some scent. It's 22
1:52seconds into an interview of a man in
1:55Colorado whose family just went missing.
1:58Us as the audience, we still have no
2:01idea who he's talking about. Who is he
2:03talking about? Who who are they looking
2:05for? So anyway, that was just the very
2:07first thing that stood out for me. But
2:09let's continue.
2:10>> And right now, it's just like they've
2:12they've been on point. They're going
2:13through the house trying to get a scent
2:14and hopefully they can pick something up
2:16to where it's it's going to lead to
2:18something.
2:19>> What happened?
2:21Your wife came out and told me tell me
2:23what's
2:24>> she like she she came home.
2:25>> Okay, I'm going to go ahead and rewind
2:26that. But the reporter had to ask Chris,
2:29so what happened? Like what happened
2:30with your wife? Tell me more like tell
2:32us about the actual situation. This came
2:35from a reporter because the father,
2:37right, like the father and husband who
2:39is like, "Oh, where's my family?" hasn't
2:42once mentioned that his family is
2:44missing. And so the reporter had to kind
2:46of Hey bro, can you talk to us about
2:48your family? Like what happened? Let's
2:50continue.
2:51>> What happened?
2:52Your wife came home. Talk to me. Tell me
2:54what's
2:55>> she like she came home from the airport
2:572 a.m. And I left around 5:15 she was
3:01still here and like about 12:10. And
3:05that afternoon her friend Nicole showed
3:06up at the door. Like I had texted Shan a
3:09few times that day, called her, say, you
3:11know, but she never got back to me, but
3:13she wasn't getting back to any of her
3:14people as well. And that's what really
3:16concerned a lot of people is like she's
3:18not getting back to her. Like if she
3:19doesn't get back to me, that's fine.
3:20Like she gets busy during the day, but
3:22she didn't get back to her people, which
3:23was very concerning. And Nicole called
3:25me when she was at the door and that's
3:26when I came home. And then walked in the
3:30house and nothing. It's vanished.
3:32Nothing was here.
3:33>> And that's when I came home.
3:36vanish. Just everything vanished. Just
3:38no one was here. Those were the very
3:40first tells. Really, a minute in, I'm
3:43seeing zero emotion from this man who is
3:48pleading for his family to return.
3:50Within just the first minute of watching
3:53this video, I can say that none of us
3:55need a psychology degree to know that
3:58there was something wrong with this guy.
4:00It's just not normal. His behavior is
4:03not that of a father and husband who is
4:06urgently trying to find his family.
4:08There have been so many other interviews
4:10given by people who are innocent. There
4:12have also been interviews from people
4:15who have committed the crime pleading
4:17for their family's return. And even they
4:20do better at acting than Chris did. I
4:23knew that he did something that he was
4:25behind his family being missing because
4:27again, you don't need a psychology
4:30degree. You don't need to be this
4:31professional psychiatrist to know that
4:33this guy is lying about something being
4:36deceptive and he's trying to hide stuff.
4:39Not to mention the huge He's got a huge
4:42scratch on his throat. Yeah, this guy's
4:44family went missing and he has a huge
4:45scratch on his neck. Let's continue.
4:48>> I mean, she wasn't she wasn't here. The
4:50kids weren't here. No, nobody was here.
4:52>> What's your wife's name?
4:53>> Shannan. SN.
4:55>> What's your What's your kids?
4:57>> Bella and Celeste. spells.
5:00>> Uh, C E L E S T E.
5:03>> How old are you? How old are you?
5:07>> The camera crew is doing a great job
5:09zooming in on his face because when he
5:12was asked Shannan's name and to spell it
5:14out, he he did it so easily. He's just
5:16like Shannan.
5:17>> What's your wife's name?
5:18>> Shannan. S H A N.
5:20>> Then he's asked to spell Celeste's name.
5:23>> What's your What's your kids?
5:24>> Bell and Celeste.
5:26>> Spell Celeste. Uh, C E L E S T E.
5:31>> Right away, we can tell there there's
5:34something going on with his eyes. He's
5:35He's doing the slow blink. Like,
5:38something about saying Celeste's name,
5:40Celeste and Bella's name, and having to
5:42spell it out is bothering him. He's
5:45like, Celeste.
5:47Now, we know that he murdered them. But
5:50even then, even when we watched this
5:53interview seven years ago, something was
5:55weird. Why is he doing that? Why is he
5:58talking like this? Let's continue.
6:01>> Four. Bella is four. Celeste is three.
6:05>> And so, how many times did you try
6:07calling guard?
6:08>> I called her three times. Texted her
6:10about three times just to say, you know,
6:13what's going on? Like I for the after I
6:16called her.
6:18He texted her about three times and then
6:20he called her about three times just to
6:23be like, "Hey, you know, laugh.
6:26>> He's malfunctioning." And the reason
6:28he's malfunctioning is because he's
6:30lying. As we know, he texted her. He
6:32texted her about three times. That's it.
6:35And then he called her about three
6:36times. That's it. He did stage a lot of
6:38calls and a lot of text messages trying
6:40to make it seem like Shannan left,
6:42abandoned Chris, and oh, look at me. I'm
6:44the victim. That was the whole plan
6:46here. But here we see Chris again
6:49stumbling. He's stuttering. He's like
6:52because he was lying. He was lying from
6:54the get-go. But let's continue.
6:56>> And text her once is like like maybe she
6:58was just busy like she just gotten back,
7:00you know, like everybody's probably
7:02calling her from her trip. She just got
7:03back from Arizona and I figured she was
7:06just busy. But when her friend showed
7:08up, that's what it was like. It it
7:10registered like, "All right, this isn't
7:12right.
7:14>> All right, this isn't right.
7:18Chris has this stupid look on his face
7:21the whole time. That dumb smirk.
7:26Am I convincing, guys?
7:28Are my lying skills on point?
7:32No, they're not. You're terrible at
7:34lying. He's so awful. He's so bad at
7:37lying. And because of his terrible
7:40acting, I knew that this guy did
7:42something. His family is missing. I
7:44don't think he has them hiding
7:46somewhere. So, my immediate guess 7
7:49years ago when I first watched this
7:51interview was, "Oh, he killed them. He
7:53killed them." I wasn't shocked, not in
7:56the least bit, when I found out that he
7:58had a mistress. Because Chris is not the
8:00first family annihilator, Scott
8:02Peterson. I've talked about him ad
8:04nauseium in the past, but there's also
8:07the other Chris. If you guys haven't
8:09heard about the other Chris, his name is
8:11Chris Coleman. He murdered his wife and
8:14his two sons to be with his mistress,
8:17who happened to be his wife's friend.
8:20His mistress? Yeah. His mistress used to
8:22be his wife's friend back in high
8:24school. He annihilated that family, too.
8:27Staged this whole attack. He thought he
8:29was going to get away with it, but just
8:31like this Chris, that Chris was also an
8:34idiot. Let's continue.
8:37>> Do you think she just took off? Do you
8:38think? I I mean right now I don't even
8:40want to just like throw anything out
8:42there. Like I hope that she's somewhere
8:45safe right now.
8:46>> I hope here the reporter is asking him,
8:49"So what do you think happened? Do you
8:50think she just took off?" And Chris
8:52right away says, "Yeah, I don't want to
8:54throw anything out there, but I don't
8:56know. Could she have just vanished? Who
8:59knows? Who knows? Maybe uh it's because
9:01he was trying to throw that out there.
9:03He was aware that it was too early. It
9:06was way too early to be blaming Shannan
9:08and making it seem like, oh, I don't
9:10know, maybe she just took off and left
9:12with the children. I don't want to throw
9:14anything out there, though. Again, it's
9:17his demeanor, lack of emotion, zero
9:20tears. It doesn't even look like he has
9:23lost any sleep or like he's worried at
9:26all. He It doesn't look like he has
9:28cried all night wanting his family back.
9:31He looks like a normal dude. He looks
9:33like like they just picked up some
9:34stranger and they're like, "Hey, tell us
9:36a story." Like, "What's going on?" You
9:37see a lot of movement. What do you think
9:39is going on here? And then this random
9:40guy is like, "Yeah, you know, so there's
9:42a lot of canine units out here. There's
9:43like a sergeant over there. There's an
9:45officer. Oh, look, there's a detective."
9:48Oh,
9:49is that the fire department? Yeah. I
9:51don't know. Just lots of activity, you
9:53know. Very nonchalant. Not typical of a
9:57man whose family just went missing.
10:00Let's continue.
10:01>> All right. This isn't right.
10:05>> Do you think she just took off? Do you
10:06think?
10:07>> I mean, right now I don't even want to
10:09just like throw anything out there. Like
10:11I hope that she's somewhere safe right
10:14now and with the kids.
10:17But I mean, could she event? Could she
10:19just taken off? I don't know. But if
10:21somebody has her and they're not safe,
10:23like I want them back now.
10:25>> Like I want them back now. Could she
10:28have just vanished? Like I don't know.
10:30Maybe. But if she's not safe right now,
10:33like I want them back now. Do you guys
10:36believe me? I want them back now.
10:38>> They're not safe. Like I want them back
10:40now. Like that that that's what's in my
10:43head. Like if they're safe right now,
10:45they're going to come back. But if
10:47they're not safe right now, that's what
10:48that's the not knowing part. Like if
10:50they're not safe last night, I was I had
10:53every light in the house on. I was
10:55hoping that I would just get just ran
10:57over by the kids running in the door and
10:59just like barrel rushing me. But it
11:00didn't happen.
11:01>> It didn't happen last night. I just
11:04wanted them to barrel rush me. Just But
11:07it didn't happen. He's so unconvincing.
11:09I bet he knows that he's unconvincing.
11:11He knows that he's terrible at lying. He
11:14keeps stuttering. He keeps saying stupid
11:17things like, "Oh, I really wish that
11:18they had just barrel rushed me. Is he
11:22John Cena? What is he doing?" We can see
11:24you though. That's the thing is we all
11:27see you. And that was the issue, right,
11:30is that everyone saw him and so everyone
11:33knew he was guilty.
11:35Let's continue.
11:37>> And it was just a traumatic night trying
11:39to be here.
11:42>> It was just a traumatic night trying to
11:45be here.
11:49Again, notice that there is zero
11:51emotion. And the only expression that we
11:54see on Chris right now is a stupid
11:56smile, a smirk. He's holding back
11:59laughter. It's like he is so overjoyed
12:03at the fact that his family will never
12:05come back. And he wants to run to Nicole
12:08and celebrate the fact that they can now
12:10be together. Unfortunately for them,
12:13they couldn't be together. And that is
12:15the only joy that we are able to get out
12:17of this horrific crime. The only joy
12:20that we get is Chris didn't get to spend
12:23a single second with his mistress. The
12:25only expression and the only emotion
12:27that I do see in him is excitement, joy,
12:31happiness. He wants to laugh. He wants
12:33to celebrate. And I also get the sense
12:35that he's annoyed. He can't go be with
12:37Nicole. He did the deed. He got rid of
12:40the obstacle. the people that were in
12:42the way of his future, he got rid of
12:44them. And now there's this news crew. Oh
12:47man. And now the cops. Oh god. Now
12:49they're looking for Shannan and the
12:50girls, man. Now I have to get rid of
12:52these obstacles. But then once I get rid
12:55of all of this, then I can go be with
12:57Nicole. And that's what I'm sensing more
12:59out of anything else with Chris. And
13:01this is just 2 minutes in to this
13:04interview. All we can see is that this
13:06guy seems happy. He seems happy. This is
13:09not the face of a guy who wants his
13:12family back. Look, look at his Look at
13:15his smile.
13:21Let's continue.
13:24>> I'm going to ask some kind of tough
13:25questions about your relationship with
13:26your kids.
13:27>> Yeah. I mean, my kids are my life. I
13:30mean, those those smiles light up my
13:32life.
13:32>> The reporter asked, "Okay, tell me about
13:34your children. We're going to ask you
13:35some tough questions."
13:38Those smiles light up my life.
13:40>> I mean, those those smiles light up my
13:42life.
13:43>> He says the words, but they come out
13:45with zero emotion. I don't know what's
13:48up with Chris. I don't know if he really
13:51did believe that all he had to do was
13:53the bare minimum. This picture perfect
13:56persona that he had created for himself.
13:59you know, this loving and caring
14:01husband, this loving and caring dad.
14:04That is what was going to stand out. Oh,
14:06it wasn't this interview. No, it's not
14:08the fact that you're a bumbling idiot.
14:10That you're sounding like an absolute
14:13[ __ ] You're eyeblinking. You're
14:15laughing. You're smiling.
14:18You're saying stupid things. You're
14:20rocking back and forth. You're being
14:22nervous. None of those things. No.
14:24Everyone's going to ignore those things
14:26because everyone's going to focus on the
14:28Chris that we see on social media. Oh,
14:32just ask his friends. He's such a caring
14:34guy. Oh, he would never harm his family.
14:38He's so softspoken. Oh, where is Chris?
14:42Oh, there he is. I would have never
14:44known. Oh, you're so quiet. Not a peep
14:46from the boy. Wouldn't hurt a fly. That
14:49is what he was banking on. He was
14:52banking on the persona, the personality
14:55that that he had shown to his friends
14:58and his family. Everyone's going to
15:00think I'm innocent because like duh, why
15:03would I do this? That's the impression
15:05that I get from Chris 7 years later.
15:08Now, 7 years ago, no, this guy's guilty.
15:10He killed his family. Let's continue.
15:13>> Relationship with the kids.
15:14>> Yeah. I mean, my kids are my life. I
15:17mean, those those smiles light up my
15:19life. And there's like I mean last night
15:21like during like at you know when they
15:23usually eat dinner it was just like I
15:25miss them like I mean I missed telling
15:27them hey you got to eat that or you're
15:29not going to get your dessert you know
15:30just like you're not going to get your
15:32snack after but I miss that like I I
15:33missed them you know cuddle up on their
15:35couches. They have like a Minnie Mouse
15:37couch and a Sophia couch that they
15:38cuddle up on and watch you know Bubble
15:40Guppies or something. And it was just
15:41like you I I was it was tearing tearing
15:45me apart last night and I needed that. I
15:47needed that last night. And for that,
15:50for nobody to be here last night and to
15:52go into their rooms and not and know
15:54that I wasn't going to turn the rain
15:55machines on and I know that I wasn't
15:58going to turn their monitor on and know
16:00I wasn't going to kiss them to bed
16:01tonight. It was
16:04it it was I I that's why last night it
16:06was just horrible. I couldn't do it.
16:10It I just
16:12I just want I want everybody just come
16:13home, right? Wherever they're at, come
16:15home. If you were watching this
16:17interview 7 years ago and you weren't
16:20convinced that this man had something to
16:22do with the disappearance of his family,
16:25there's something wrong with you.
16:27Because if you watched this interview up
16:29until this point and saw this man say
16:32these things with that look on his face
16:36and that smile and that laugh and you
16:38still believed that he was a father and
16:41a husband who was pleading for the
16:43return of his family. I'm sorry, but
16:46you're someone who is easily fooled.
16:48There is nothing about this interview,
16:51especially at minute 350, that says,
16:54"Yeah, this guy is innocent. He didn't
16:57do anything." Let's watch that again.
16:59>> I mean, those those smiles light up my
17:01life. And there like I mean, last night,
17:03like during like at, you know, when they
17:05usually eat dinner, it was just like I
17:07miss them like I mean, I missed telling
17:09them, "Hey, you got to eat that or
17:10you're not going to get your dessert."
17:12you know, just like you're not going to
17:13get your snack after. I miss that. Like
17:15I I miss them, you know, cuddle up on
17:17their couches. They have like a Minnie
17:18Mouse couch and a Sophia couch that they
17:20cuddle up on and watch, you know, Bubble
17:22Guppies or something. And it was just
17:23like, you know, I I I was it was torn
17:27tearing me apart last night. And I
17:28needed that. I needed that last night.
17:30And for that for nobody to be here last
17:33night and to go into their rooms and not
17:36and know that I wasn't going to turn the
17:37rain machines on and I know that I
17:39wasn't going to turn their monitor on
17:41and know I wasn't going to kiss them to
17:43bed tonight. It was
17:46it it was I I that's why last night it
17:48was just horrible. I couldn't do it.
17:51It I just
17:54I just want I want everybody just come
17:55home. Like wherever they're at, come
17:56home.
18:00It it was I I that's why last night it
18:03was just horrible. I couldn't do it.
18:06It I just
18:07>> Yeah. Apart from the obvious laugh and
18:10the terrible acting, he says things that
18:13at the time still didn't make sense.
18:16Watching it now, we know that Chris
18:19spent a lot of time away from his girls.
18:22Knowing what we know now and watching
18:24this 7 years later, it was so obvious
18:26that he was lying because he's talking
18:28about his kids and he's saying, "I miss
18:31feeding them and telling them, oh, if
18:32you don't eat that, you're not going to
18:34get your dessert. Oh, I miss turning on
18:36the TV and having them watch Bubba
18:38Guppies or something." Because again, he
18:40spent 5 weeks without them. And they've
18:42been missing for one night and he's
18:45like, "Oh, I miss them. I miss doing all
18:47of these things that I used to do with
18:49my daughters." It's been 24 hours. But
18:51he's talking about them as as if they're
18:54not coming back. And that's what stood
18:56out seven years ago because seven years
18:59ago, we didn't know anything about
19:01Shannan. But even then, it was still a
19:04little weird to hear a dad say, "Oh, I
19:07miss telling them to eat their dinner
19:10and telling them, "Oh, if you don't eat
19:11that, you're not going to get your
19:12dessert." So, of all of the fond
19:15memories he has of his children, the one
19:18thing he misses is disciplining them. If
19:21you don't do what I say, you're not
19:23going to get the thing that you want.
19:25That is the fond memory that he could
19:27come up with during this interview,
19:29which was yet another one of those red
19:31flags. Because again, a parent who is
19:34worried sick about their children and
19:36their wife being missing isn't going to
19:38say the fond memory I have of my husband
19:41is when oh he would always yell at me. I
19:44miss him yelling at me to put the dishes
19:47in the dishwasher. I miss making all of
19:50those sandwiches for him. Oh, what I
19:53really miss the most is the sound of all
19:56of that snoring at night. It kept me up
20:00all night. Last night, I slept so
20:04soundly. I didn't wake up, not once.
20:06It's the best sleep I've gotten in
20:08years. And that's what I miss. I miss
20:12not being able to sleep. I miss his
20:15snoring so much. But ma'am, your
20:17husband's only been gone for 5 hours.
20:19>> I know, but I just miss him so much.
20:22Whose laundry am I going to do now?
20:25>> Let's continue.
20:28>> I just want I want everybody just come
20:29home. All right. Wherever they're at,
20:31come home. That's what I want.
20:35[Music]
20:38>> Wherever they're at, come home.
20:40That's what I want. Am I convincing?
20:43Yeah. Okay, good.
20:49[Music]
20:51>> Where was she gone for?
20:54She was she she was on um she came back
20:58Sunday. You said at 2 at night. Yeah,
20:59cuz her her flight got delayed from
21:01Arizona because of like other storms
21:03around the the nation. So, she's
21:06supposed to get home like 11:00. She got
21:07home at like 1:48. Got to bed about
21:102:00.
21:10>> Yeah. She was late, you know, because of
21:13the flight that was delayed because of
21:15all of these thunderstorms around the
21:18nation. America, founded in 1774.
21:25He throws a lot of additional words in
21:27there that don't need to be said. The
21:28flight got delayed because of the nation
21:30because of the dust particles and the
21:33wind all over the nation. And this is
21:35where we see Chris begin to really be
21:39nervous. The reporters here did another
21:41again excellent job at backing up,
21:45zooming out so that we can see Chris's
21:47full body. And now we can see that he's
21:50doing the self soothing, self hug again.
21:53We've seen this time and time again,
21:55especially during the police body cam
21:57footage where he's watching himself at
21:59Neighbor Nate's house and he's like,
22:00"Oh, now we're going to see Chris do the
22:05rock back and forth dance on his front
22:08porch.
22:09>> What was she going for?" Like family
22:10trip or
22:11>> It was a Thrive direct sales. Uh it was
22:14a local event that was down there
22:15between a bunch of leaders in in the
22:17company.
22:18>> And that night that day she was back. I
22:21mean,
22:22>> I left I left work for work early that
22:24morning, like 5:15, 5:30. So, like, she
22:27barely I mean, she barely got barely
22:29gotten into bed pretty much.
22:33>> He's trying to downplay the amount of
22:36time that he spent with Shannan. Oh, she
22:39got home at 2:00 a.m. in the morning,
22:41not in the afternoon, 2:00 a.m. in the
22:44morning. And I got up at 5:15. So, you
22:48know, I like barely even saw her, you
22:50know, like she had barely even gotten
22:52into bed. Yeah, that's 3 hours that you
22:54have 3 hours with her. He's downplaying
22:57it. He's saying, "Oh, you know, she got
22:59home late. Like, I was kind of sleeping.
23:01I got up to work, kissed her goodbye,
23:04you know, saw the kids on the monitor,
23:05say peace out, and then left." I didn't
23:07really spend that much time with her
23:09again because he's trying to convince
23:11us, the public, to feel sorry for him.
23:14Oh, I had nothing to do with this
23:16because I didn't get I didn't see her at
23:18all. I didn't even see her come in. She
23:19came home so late because of all of the
23:21dust winds all over the nation. Let's
23:24continue.
23:25>> Might be a tough question, but did
23:28you guys get into an argument before she
23:30after?
23:30>> It wasn't it wasn't like an argument. We
23:32had an emotional conversation, but I'll
23:34leave it at that. But it's
23:36I just want them back.
23:39I just I just want them to come back.
23:41And if if they're not safe right now,
23:44that's what's that's what's tearing me
23:46apart. Cuz if they are safe, they're
23:48coming back. But if they're not, this
23:50this this has got to stop. Like somebody
23:52has to come forward.
23:53>> You spoke to her family, like her
23:55parents?
23:55>> Yeah, they've been in constant contact
23:57like every hour. I mean, it's I mean,
24:00everybody back in North Carolina and the
24:02East Coast. I mean, from Maine to
24:05Florida.
24:06>> What is your parents?
24:08>> No, he didn't call everybody from Maine
24:10to Florida. No. All of this is an
24:12obvious lie that can be easily verified.
24:15And it was it was verified. He was
24:17downplaying the whole situation. He told
24:19Shannan's family to not even fly out.
24:21Oh, it's not that serious. Don't fly
24:23out. It's fine. And here he's saying,
24:24"Yes, I've called I called everybody,
24:27everyone all over the East Coast. You
24:30know, the East Coast from Maine at the
24:32very top all the way to Florida." That
24:35is what we consider here in the US of a
24:38the East Coast. contacted everybody
24:41there. No one knows where Shannan is. No
24:45one on the East Coast. Not a single soul
24:48in Maine. I even contacted all the
24:50lobsters. None of the lobsters have seen
24:52Shannan and the girls. I don't know
24:54where they could be. So ridiculous.
24:56Let's continue.
24:58>> Saying to you,
24:59>> they're just like like if they need to
25:01get on a flight, just let them know cuz
25:03I mean they don't they they feel
25:05helpless right now cuz they they're on
25:06the opposite side of the country. I
25:08mean, this Colorado is I mean, you can't
25:11just drive around and look. I mean, it's
25:13just like you wouldn't really know what
25:15you're looking for. That's what the cops
25:16pretty much told me that that first day
25:17I was like, I want to get out and drive
25:18around. They said, you wouldn't know
25:20what to look for.
25:21>> Um,
25:22>> you know, I just I just want to find my
25:24family.
25:26He's like a robot. Sparks flying.
25:30I just wanted to find my wanted to find
25:32my family. Family. Family. and he's
25:36lying through his teeth now. We all know
25:38that he did not rush to the house.
25:42Nicole Atkinson was there with the
25:44police and he took his sweet time
25:46getting there and now he's lying again
25:48and he's saying, "Oh, I wanted to find
25:50my family. It's the first thing I asked
25:51the police. Can I go look for them?" And
25:53the police said, "No, son. Don't go out
25:56and look for them because it's Colorado.
25:58You know, the squarer state. It's square
26:01looking. So, there are too many corners
26:04to look at. Don't. You wouldn't even
26:05know what to look for. Can you go down
26:07to the four corners? There's too many
26:10states down there. No, that's too many
26:12corners to be looking at. Chris, you're
26:14not going to find anything. Trust me,
26:16son. I wanted to find my family, but I
26:18was told not to, so I just didn't. Let's
26:21continue.
26:22>> Last couple questions. Uh, what is what
26:25is law enforcement? What would have the
26:27police or the sheriffs or your
26:30neighbors? Is anybody what is what
26:32what's police saying to you?
26:35Look at the worry on his face. This is
26:37Chris anticipating the question. He
26:40doesn't know what he's about to be
26:41asked. So, he's like,
26:44>> let's continue.
26:46>> Right now, this is what they're doing
26:48right now is with the K9 in the sense. I
26:51think this is the biggest thing. This is
26:53the biggest thing they've done so far
26:54because yesterday they did all the
26:55Federal Police Department did all the
26:56searching of the house and try to gather
26:58whatever information they could and with
27:01the detectives, officers, and sergeants.
27:03And today it's I mean obviously with all
27:06the activity that's around it's it's
27:09it's it's there's a lot going on around
27:11here. And I really hope that all this
27:14can lead to something positive.
27:19All the officers, all the corporals, all
27:21the sergeants, all the staff sergeants,
27:22all the gunnery sergeants, the captain,
27:24too, the chief, the police chief was
27:26here, the commander was also here. I
27:28think I saw the colonel. Is that the
27:30major over there? Hey, major. The canine
27:32units. All the all kinds of canines.
27:34There was also I think I saw a cat. Oh,
27:37yeah. There is a cat. There's the feline
27:38unit as well. They're also checking.
27:40Everyone Everyone's checking. Everyone.
27:42Chris is another rambler. We've been
27:44watching Nicole Kessinger and her cringe
27:47police interview and she loves to
27:49ramble. She's a rambler. She'll go on
27:52and on and on about details that have
27:54nothing to do with the case. And Chris
27:57is another one. He is another rambler.
27:59He goes on. He says a lot, but all of it
28:02is nothing. He said three things. The
28:05officers, the sergeants, and the
28:06detectives. He could have just said the
28:08cops. The cops encompasses all three. We
28:12see Chris just naming off all things.
28:14Yeah. There's Maine, there's Rhode
28:16Island, there's New York, there's New
28:19Jersey, there's northern South Carolina,
28:21and then there's Florida. That's the
28:23East Coast. Yeah, I think Connecticut is
28:26in there somewhere. I'm not really sure.
28:28We're supposed to believe that he woke
28:29up one morning, went to work, and his
28:32family's gone. He came back home, and
28:33he's like, "Oh my god, I don't know
28:34where they went. They vanished." But
28:36this is what we're hearing from him. The
28:39officers, the sergeants, the detectives,
28:41the corporals also were there. Let's
28:44continue.
28:45>> What did um
28:47your neighbors did they see anything
28:49that you see?
28:49>> No. Like we've we've uh the police
28:51department went door to door asking like
28:54cameras and everything just like
28:56nothing.
28:58>> And my last question,
29:02>> we're watching this 7 years later. We
29:05know that what he just said was a
29:07complete lie. Neighbor Nate had a video
29:10of Chris backing his truck up into his
29:13garage and loading it. And here the
29:15reporter asked him if the cops have gone
29:18around the neighborhood to see if
29:19there's any any camera footage. Maybe
29:21they saw Shannan leave with the girls.
29:23He says, "No, no, the cops went
29:26everywhere and there's just nothing."
29:27But we knew seven years ago that this
29:32was a lie just because of how he said
29:34it. Let's watch it again.
29:36>> Your neighbors, did they see anything
29:37that you never said?
29:38>> No. Like we've we've uh the police
29:40department went door to door asking like
29:43cameras and everything. Just like
29:45nothing.
29:46>> And my last
29:48>> is that believable? No, it's not
29:50believable. It wasn't believable then
29:53and it's definitely not believable now.
29:55Now that we know the truth, it just
29:57never was because this man is a terrible
30:00liar. The majority of us knew that he
30:03was lying in 2018 when he gave this
30:05interview because of how bad he is. Look
30:07at him. Look at him. Look at his face.
30:11Let's continue.
30:13>> Question. If you have any though. My
30:16last question is if your wife can see
30:18this, if she if she can watch these,
30:21what would what would you like to tell
30:22your wife and your kids? Shannan, Bella,
30:25Celeste, if you're out there, just just
30:28come back. Like, if somebody has her,
30:30just please bring her back. I need to
30:33see everybody. I need to see everybody
30:35again. This house is not complete with
30:37without anybody here. Please bring her
30:40back.
30:42>> It's this look, this is the look right
30:44here that tells me that he's guilty.
30:47This is the look that tells me that he
30:48knows that his family is not coming
30:50back. He's subconsciously saying, "No,
30:53no, don't come back." He's saying,
30:55"Please don't come back." At the same
30:57time, he knows that they're not coming
30:59back. He's like, "I know you guys are
31:01not coming back.
31:03Please don't come back. I don't want you
31:06to come back." And that was the biggest
31:08tell for me. If anything else wasn't
31:10convincing enough, like his psychotic
31:13laugh, this ending, it was so cringe to
31:16watch cuz you can tell he's
31:18uncomfortable. The guy is awkward. Let's
31:20watch this last part again because he's
31:22asked to do something that he knows is
31:25not going to happen.
31:26>> If she if she can watch this, what would
31:28what would you like to tell your wife
31:29and your kids?
31:30>> Shannan, Bella, Celeste, if you're out
31:34there, just just come back. Like, if
31:36somebody has her, just please bring her
31:38back. I need to see everybody. I need to
31:41see everybody again. This house is not
31:43complete with without anybody here.
31:46Please bring her back.
31:50That's it. I can take that mic off, you
31:52know.
31:53>> This interview was full of red flags.
31:56Yeah, we had like an emotional
31:57discussion that morning, but I'll just
31:58leave it at that. I want them back. I
32:01do. I want them back. And then his laugh
32:04and his mouth thing and his fast blinks
32:07and then his slow blinks. Everything was
32:10off with Chris. Okay, so this was
32:13interview with Denver 7 News. So, now
32:16we're going to watch the interview with
32:18Nine News, and we'll see what he has to
32:20say here because uh yeah, this is just
32:23another one of those really bad videos.
32:26Here we're going to see Chris be a
32:28little more confident. He gained a
32:30little bit of confidence after giving
32:32his first interview. So, here we're
32:34going to see Chris try to lead the
32:36interview. Of course, it all fails. He
32:38fails. Nonetheless, he will still
32:40attempt to fool everybody with his lies.
32:43Let's watch this video. most important
32:46thing like I'm not sure I'll just wait
32:48for you to ask a question but like it's
32:50I want I want them wherever they're at
32:53like I have no inclination to where
32:54they're at right now like I've exhausted
32:57like every friend that I know of and
32:59every friend that I have has called
33:01friends that Shannan has that maybe I
33:04didn't know about and it's just like
33:06there's it's like it vanished like she's
33:08not like when I got home yesterday it
33:10was like a ghost town like she wasn't
33:13here kids weren't here I have no idea
33:15idea like where they went and it doesn't
33:18it's just earthshattering. I don't feel
33:20like this is even real right now. It's
33:21like a nightmare that I just can't wake
33:23up from.
33:25>> He rambled for almost 40 seconds. He
33:28started the interview with, "Oh, I'm
33:30just going to wait for you guys to ask
33:31me questions, but uh I really want my
33:34family back. I got here yesterday and it
33:36was like a ghost town. There's nobody
33:38here. If they're not here, like where
33:40did they go?" And if they didn't go,
33:42like, where did they went? And if they
33:44didn't went like where are they? He
33:47wants the audience, the public to know
33:50that he has contacted everyone that he
33:54knows. He is trying to get us to believe
33:58Shannan was probably picked up by
34:00someone that he didn't know. So he's
34:03trying to paint this picture where
34:04Shannan left on her own by an unknown
34:08person, someone that Chris didn't know
34:10about. And that is why he wanted to lead
34:13this second interview. He knows that he
34:15fumbled the first one. And so that's
34:17what we see Chris do the first 40
34:19seconds of this interview is just
34:21ramble, ramble, ramble, ramble. And none
34:23of the ramble actually makes sense. Pay
34:26attention to the first thing that comes
34:27out of his mouth in this interview that
34:29he's leading.
34:30>> I'll just wait for you to ask question,
34:32but like it's I want I want them
34:35wherever they're at. Like I have no
34:37inclination to where they're at right
34:38now. I have no inclination of where
34:41they're at right now. That is how he
34:43wanted to open this interview. This
34:44really confident, cocky guy here. Yeah.
34:47Yeah. I got them all fooled. Yeah, I'll
34:49show them. I have no inclination of
34:52where they're at. One, it was a Freudian
34:55slip, but two, it also wasn't a Freudian
34:59slip because he says that he has no
35:02inclination of where they're at. Meaning
35:05that the Freudian slip is him saying
35:07that he is not inclined to find them. He
35:10has no inclination to find his family.
35:13Because if we look up the word
35:15inclination, the definition for
35:17inclination is a person's natural
35:19tendency or urge to act or feel in a
35:23particular way. There was no urgency for
35:26him to find his family. So he was
35:30correct that he had no inclination to
35:33find his family. So that was a Freudian
35:35slip on his part. However, Chris is a
35:38dum dum. I think he meant to say I have
35:41no inkling because when we look up the
35:43word inkling, the word inkling means a
35:47slight knowledge or suspicion. A hint. I
35:50have no clue. So it's both a Freudian
35:53lip and an idiot just saying stupid
35:56things. He meant to say, "I have no
35:58inkling of where they're at." But be but
36:00he's such he's such a [ __ ] that he
36:02ended up using the word inclination. And
36:05it ended up being a bad choice of word
36:09because it ended up showing us the truth
36:12about Chris that he had no inclination
36:15to find his family. He just butchered it
36:19at every step of the way. Again, he
36:21thought he was coming in confident like,
36:22"Yeah, I'm going to lead this line of
36:25questioning. I'm gonna come out on top.
36:28Yeah. I have no inclination. No
36:30inclination whatsoever. I have no clue
36:33like where they went.
36:36Let's continue.
36:38>> I've exhausted like every friend that I
36:41know of and every friend that I have has
36:43called friends that Shannan has that
36:46maybe I didn't know about. And it's just
36:47like
36:49there's it's like it vanished. Like
36:50she's not like when I got home
36:52yesterday, it was like a ghost town.
36:54Like she wasn't here. Kids weren't here.
36:57I have no idea like where they went. And
37:00it doesn't if just
37:01>> kids weren't here. She wasn't here. I
37:05have no idea like where they went. Why
37:08is he talking like that? Barely opens
37:10his mouth. He's like talking with his
37:12teeth. He's like, you know, I don't
37:13know. Is that him trying to sound more
37:17assertive or authoritative? Because he
37:20just looks weird. He just looks weird.
37:23But anyway, let's continue.
37:24>> Earth shattering. I don't feel like this
37:26is even real right now. It's like a
37:28nightmare that I just can't wake up
37:29from.
37:31>> See, these are all real things. I do
37:33believe that it's like a nightmare he
37:34can't wake up from. The nightmare is him
37:36being here with the police and with the
37:39news crew. That is the nightmare that
37:41he's living. It's not that his family is
37:44missing. That's not the nightmare. The
37:46nightmare that he's referring to is the
37:48nightmare that is happening to him
37:50because he did it to himself. And we
37:52know that now. Again, we know that now 7
37:54years later. But we also suspected that
37:587 years ago because again, look at what
38:00he's saying. Listen to what he's saying
38:04and look at how he's saying it. Nothing
38:06matches. It's this is not normal
38:10behavior. It's not anything that any any
38:13worried husband and worried father would
38:15act like when their family is missing.
38:19I've already called everyone. I know.
38:23I've already exhausted everybody. All of
38:26her friends.
38:30Let's continue.
38:32>> Chris, when did you learn that they got
38:35there and they weren't here?
38:36>> Like yes. Well, I texted her a few times
38:39and called her. I didn't get a response,
38:41which that was a little off. And then
38:44her friend Nicole showed up about a
38:46little afternoon. I see you on the
38:47>> Okay, so in the second interview, he's
38:49now saying that when he texted Shannan
38:51and she didn't respond, oh, it was a
38:53little off. Even though we just heard
38:55minutes ago him say that when he texted
38:59and called Shannan three times and she
39:01didn't respond, it was like whatever. If
39:03she doesn't get back to me, it's like
39:05whatever. You know, she gets busy. But
39:07if she doesn't get back to her people,
39:08now that's concerning.
39:10>> Like I had texted Shan a few times that
39:12day, called her, say, you know, but she
39:14never got back to me. But she wasn't
39:16getting back to any of her people as
39:17well. And that's what really concerned a
39:19lot of people is like she's not getting
39:21back to her. Like if she doesn't get
39:22back to me, that's fine. Like she gets
39:23busy during the day, but she can get
39:24back to her people, which was very
39:26concerning.
39:26>> Now we're seeing him change his story.
39:29He wants the public and the audience of
39:319 News to think that he was worried. Oh,
39:35she didn't reply to my text messages.
39:37Now that was that was a little off. But
39:39everyone who's watching Denver 7 thinks,
39:41"Oh, it wasn't that big of a deal. She
39:43was she didn't text them back. Oh,
39:45whatever. She didn't get back to her
39:47people. Now, that is concerning. So, two
39:50different stories going on here, right?
39:52Two different stories. Now, Chris
39:53saying, "I wasn't concerned with Denver
39:567." And now he's saying, "Oh, it was a
39:58little off. I was a little concerned
39:59when she didn't text me back with 9
40:02News." So, inconsistencies.
40:04We are already seeing some
40:06inconsistencies here. Let's continue.
40:09>> The doorbell camera and I was like,
40:11"Hey, what's going on?" I said, "I can't
40:12get a hold of Shenan." And that's when I
40:14was just like, "All right, something's
40:15not right. If she's not answering the
40:17door and she said the car was here, it
40:18was like, I got to go home." And got
40:21here, got inside, and no, nobody was
40:24here. Not nothing.
40:27>> And so I read that Shannan had
40:29>> again, same kind of smirk. He's trying
40:31to hold back some laughter and he's
40:33making it sound like he was so worried.
40:35Oh, he saw Nicole Atkinson at his front
40:38porch and he was like, "Oh, now I need
40:39to go home." But as we know, it took
40:42Nicole threatening Chris with calling
40:44the police and then calling the police
40:46and then the police showing up for Chris
40:49to finally decide to go home.
40:52There was no sense of urgency from
40:55Chris. No inclination to find his
40:58family. Let's continue.
41:00>> Goes to school, which was unusual. Yeah,
41:02cuz like Bella was going to start
41:04kindergarten
41:06next next Monday and they they were just
41:08getting ready to start.
41:10>> Bella was going to start kindergarten
41:12next Monday. And yeah, they were about
41:15to start. He's referring to his children
41:17in the past tense, which is a huge
41:21giveaway. If for some reason we were
41:24still wondering or giving him the
41:25benefit of the doubt by this point we
41:29should be wondering what he did to his
41:31children. Lots of red flags. His
41:33behavior, his demeanor, what he's
41:35saying, what he isn't saying, how he's
41:37saying it. All of these things combined.
41:41You put them into an interview and you
41:42give us a man saying that he wants to
41:45have his family back. Yet this man is
41:48referring to his children in the past
41:50tense. Let's continue.
41:52>> Start back again.
41:54>> And so what kind of So your friend
41:57Nicole kind of tipped you off that
41:59something.
41:59>> Yeah, cuz like she was here at the front
42:01door and
42:02>> his gulps are so loud that you can hear
42:05them here. Let's Let's hear that again.
42:08>> So your friend Nicole kind of tipped you
42:10off something.
42:11>> Yeah, cuz like she was
42:12>> Your friend Nicole, she like tipped you
42:14off into something, right?
42:18Yeah.
42:20here at the front door. And that's when
42:23I kind of knew, okay, like if she's not
42:25answering anybody else either, this is
42:26this isn't like her. Cuz I mean, she she
42:29works at direct sales business and
42:31that's her that that's what she does.
42:34And for her not to respond to any of her
42:36people that I mean, if she doesn't
42:38respond to me, that's fine. I mean,
42:39like, she's busy. She's got stuff going
42:41on. But not to respond to her people
42:43though, that was that was not like her.
42:47Chris, you've got a beautiful family,
42:49you know, and it looks like you all love
42:50each other very much. What went through
42:52your mind the minute kind of you're like
42:54something's wrong.
42:56>> Like I I was trying to get home as fast
42:58as I can.
42:58>> Okay, let's watch that part again. The
43:00reporter is saying, "Chris, you have
43:02such a lovely family and it looks like
43:04you all love each other so so much. What
43:07was going through your mind when you
43:10found out that your family was missing?"
43:13And here we're going to see Chris make
43:16up a bunch of lies. Just ramble, ramble,
43:18ramble, ramble. Let me tell these lies,
43:21the ones that I prepared for to just
43:23keep making it seem like I care. To keep
43:26going on with this this lie of a
43:29personality, right? This lie, this
43:31persona that he built up for himself.
43:35>> Chris, you've got a beautiful family,
43:37you know, and it looks like you all love
43:39each other very much. What went through
43:40your mind the minute kind of you're like
43:43something's wrong? It's
43:44>> like I I was trying to get home as fast
43:46as I can. I was blowing through stop
43:47lightss. I was blowing through
43:48everything. Just trying to get home as
43:49fast as I can cuz none of this made
43:50sense. Like if she wasn't here, like
43:53where did she go?
43:58>> If she wasn't here, like where did she
44:00go?
44:00>> Chris is a mess. He's a mess. The
44:04reporter asked him something so so
44:06basic. what were you feeling when you
44:08when you found out that something was
44:10wrong? And he goes,
44:13I was blowing through stop lights. I was
44:15trying to get here as fast as possible
44:17because if she isn't here, like where
44:19did she go? And we're supposed to
44:22believe that he is worried about his
44:25family. We know that Chris never blew
44:27through any stop lightss to get home. He
44:29took his sweet time like molasses. Even
44:34when he did get to his house finally,
44:36he's looking for stuff in his truck.
44:39Like, huh? Where did that piece of gum
44:41go? Hold on. Yeah, hold on, officer.
44:44Hold on, detective. Hold on, Sergeant.
44:47Hey, K9 unit. Hang on real quick. Oh,
44:50hey, Nicole. Please hold on. I'm looking
44:52for my gum. It's in my truck somewhere.
44:55Where is it? I know my family's missing.
44:57You all can wait. This is more
44:59important. I have to find my stick of
45:01gum.
45:09I have no idea where my stick of gum
45:11went. If it's not in my glove
45:13compartment, like where did it go? And
45:15so, yeah, we know that Chris never
45:17rushed home. So, that's that's just
45:20another one of his lies that was
45:21verified later. But even then, even 7
45:24years ago, watching this interview, we
45:27can tell this guy is lying. Look at the
45:29way he's saying it with a huge smirk on
45:31his face. If she's not here then like
45:34where does she go? If she's alive then
45:37like she'll be back. Yeah. No [ __ ]
45:39Officer obvious. Let's continue.
45:43>> Like once I got here it was like all
45:45right, who can I call? Who do I know
45:48that she could be with right now? If she
45:50went to a friend's house, where could
45:52she be staying? And we went through
45:54everybody. I mean, just everything in my
45:57in my contact list. and her her friend's
45:59contact list and nothing has come up.
46:02Everybody has said like they haven't
46:04heard from her either. I'm just hoping
46:06right now that she's somewhere safe
46:10and maybe she's just she's there. But
46:13right now it's just like if she's v
46:16>> I just hope that she's somewhere safe
46:18and
46:21she's there, you know. But it's almost
46:24like he wants to throw up because his
46:27nerves are just getting to him. He's
46:28like, "Oh god, stop asking me these
46:32questions."
46:35>> Somewhere safe.
46:37And maybe she's just she's there. But
46:40right now, it's just like if she's
46:43vanished, like I want her back so bad. I
46:45want those kids back so bad.
46:48>> Oh,
46:49>> if she vanished, I want her back so bad.
46:54>> If she's vanished, like, I want her back
46:56so bad. I want those kids back so bad.
46:58>> Okay. So, if they're safe and if they're
47:01there, where there is, who knows? But if
47:04they're safe and then they're there then
47:08but if they've vanished then he wants
47:10them back. What? When we break down the
47:15English language and we break down his
47:18sentences, those sentences don't make
47:21sense. What is he saying? What is he
47:23trying to say? So he he's okay with his
47:26family leaving as long as they're
47:28huddled up somewhere and they're fine.
47:30But if they've vanished, poof, vanished
47:33into thin air, then he wants them back.
47:37Says these things with a huge smile on
47:40his face. Look, look at the smile.
47:41Colgate.
47:43A huge smile on his face, chapped lips
47:46and all
47:48as he's trying to convince the public
47:50that if his family is okay and they just
47:53left and whatever, he doesn't care. But
47:55if they've completely vanished and
47:57there's no trace of them anywhere, then
47:59he wants them back, which would lead
48:02anybody to believe that he did something
48:04to his family because he's okay if they
48:07leave him. He doesn't even care about
48:08them. He only wants them back when he
48:11knows that they can't come back. It's
48:12when they've vanished. Does he want them
48:14back so that he can get out of this
48:16mess? I still don't think so because I
48:18think he'd rather be doing this and
48:20entertaining the news crew and
48:22entertaining the police as long as he
48:25believes that he can still go be with
48:26Nicole. But let me know what you all
48:28think in the comments. Let's continue.
48:32>> Um, you know, I I wanted to ask you a
48:35little bit about the hard part. Your
48:37first thought is where are they? I want
48:39them back. Your second thought is, you
48:41know, your friends are telling us
48:42something.
48:43>> The reporter is tired of hearing, oh,
48:46where are they? I want the Mac. He wants
48:48something more substantial.
48:49>> Kind of hurt you a little. You're also
48:53your second thought is that you're
48:55afraid people think you may have done
48:56something.
48:57>> Yeah. I mean, no, everybody's going to
48:59have their own opinion on on anything
49:01like this. I just want them people to
49:02know that I want my family back. Like, I
49:04want them safe and I want them here.
49:07Like, this house is not the same.
49:09>> I just want them people to know that if
49:12you think I killed my family, I didn't.
49:14I just want them people to know I want
49:16them back because I'm sad and because
49:18this house is so empty without anybody
49:21here. Most people who are accused of
49:23committing crimes that they didn't
49:25commit are going to be incredibly
49:27defensive, incredibly angry. Like, how
49:30dare you even suspect me? How can you
49:33even say something like that to me right
49:34now? Are you serious? However, Chris is
49:37like, "Oh, I know. I know it looks
49:40terrible. I know. I know it looks like I
49:43probably killed them, but I just want
49:45them people to know that I didn't do
49:47anything to them. I'm sad. Can you not
49:51tell?
49:52I'm sad. No effort what whatsoever to
49:56try and convince the public that he is
49:58innocent. He doesn't care. He just wants
50:00to go be with Nicole. This is an
50:03inconvenience for him. That is what I'm
50:05sensing is, oh, you guys are
50:07inconveniencing me right now. Stop
50:09asking me all these stupid questions.
50:11Like, can we just wrap it up? I have
50:13places to be. I have people to see.
50:17Let's continue.
50:19I mean, I Last night was traumatic. Last
50:21night was
50:23I I can't really stay in this house
50:25again, like with nobody here. And last
50:29night, I wanted I I wanted that knock on
50:31the door. I wanted to see I wanted to
50:32see this kid just running just just
50:35barrel rush me and just give me a hug
50:36and knock me on the ground. But that
50:38didn't happen. Where are you going to
50:40stay with tonight?
50:41>> He repeated the same thing he said in
50:43his first interview. He wants the kids
50:45to barrel rush him, but it didn't
50:47happen. I wanted that knock on the door,
50:49but it didn't happen. It was a ghost
50:51town. It was weird sleeping here by
50:54myself. I want my family back. Same
50:56phrases, the same words. All of it was
50:58rehearsed and premeditated, which is why
51:01he has the same sentences. Every
51:04interview is the same with Chris. He
51:06tries to convince every person and every
51:08interviewer and every interrogator that
51:11he loves his kids because they are the
51:13light of his life. He wanted them to
51:15barrel rush him. They are his lifeline.
51:18Let's continue.
51:21probably my friends Nick and Amanda just
51:23I mean and if something develops in the
51:26next next hours or so like I'm hoping
51:29that somebody sees something or somebody
51:33knows something and comes forward.
51:36>> What's the hardest part of all of this
51:37for you?
51:38>> Not knowing like if they're safe or if
51:41they're in trouble. Like there's just
51:43that it's that variable like I'm not
51:45sure. I mean I can't do anything right
51:47now from where I'm at. like I'm not sure
51:49if they're safe somewhere just huddled
51:50up somewhere or if they're in trouble
51:54and knowing that if they could be in
51:56trouble it it just it's earthshattering
51:59right now and it doesn't feel like it's
52:01real.
52:02>> It's just earthshattering right now. It
52:04doesn't feel like it's real. You know,
52:06they could be huddled up somewhere and
52:08safe, but it's just the not knowing.
52:12It's earthshattering.
52:13He dumped Shannan in a shallow grave in
52:17the earth and then uses the words
52:20earthshattering. He wants his daughters
52:22to barrel rush him. And as he says that
52:26his daughters lie in barrels of crude
52:29oil. So even the words that he chose are
52:33so telling. He was giving us hints from
52:36the very beginning. His two daughters
52:38were in barrels. He kept saying, "I want
52:40them to barrel rush me." and his wife
52:42and unborn son were in the earth. And he
52:46keeps saying that it's earthshattering
52:48and it's a nightmare he can't wake up
52:49from. Let's continue.
52:51>> The weird part of all this, it sounds
52:53like everything's kind of locked up.
52:54There's no signs of them leaving the
52:56house.
52:57>> No, like we have camera there. Neighbor
52:59has a camera. We I mean everything was
53:02everything's checked out.
53:05>> You have a camera right there?
53:06>> A doorbell only right there. The
53:08neighbor has one over there.
53:10You see how he points to neighbor Nate's
53:12camera with so much contempt? It's like
53:15he hates his neighbor for having that
53:17camera. Oh yeah. Yeah. We have cameras
53:20reporter guy. Yeah. There's like one
53:22right here in my house and then that
53:24that guy that has one too. What about
53:27these cameras guy? Look at his face. The
53:30first type of emotion that we see with
53:32Chris other than laughter and joy is
53:34anger and contempt. Anytime he's asked
53:37the question about the cameras, you can
53:39tell that he gets upset. His face gets
53:43all like his eyes. He starts rolling his
53:46eyes and he's like, "Yeah, these cameras
53:49back here and then thating guy and his
53:53piece of cameras
53:55piece of Yeah, that guy. Yeah. What
53:58about these cameras, man?
54:00>> Doors around the house locked.
54:02>> Front door was locked. The garage door
54:05was unlocked, but that that's normal for
54:08like when she comes in the house, she
54:10leaves it unlocked just so she can come
54:11in and out just in case, you know, to
54:13get in the the garage door, but the back
54:15sliding door was locked as well.
54:18>> So, how would she have left the house if
54:20she did leave?
54:20>> He made a point to say that the garage
54:22door was left unlocked. I think it was
54:24part of the whole plan. The whole part
54:26of the plan was to make it seem like
54:28Shannan was either taken from the back
54:31or she left from the back or she left
54:34through the garage or some weird thing
54:36happened because he keeps mentioning the
54:39garage door being open. And notice that
54:41he didn't even finish the sentence. He
54:43just kind of says the garage door was
54:45open. But you know that's just always
54:46open because you know Shannan Shannan
54:48sometimes she likes to go in and out of
54:49the garage door just in case you because
54:52I'm but yeah but also the back was
54:55locked.
54:56Everybody look into the unlocked garage.
54:59There has to be something up with that
55:00garage. That's a clue. You guys go look
55:03at that. Right. Trying to send people on
55:05a wild goose chase. The garage door was
55:08unlocked, but that that's normal for
55:11like when she comes in the house, she
55:13leaves it unlocked just so she can come
55:14in and out just in case, you know, to
55:16get in the the garage door, but the back
55:18sliding door was locked as well.
55:21>> So, how would she have left the house if
55:22she did leave the house or anybody?
55:24>> I I've don't want to put anything out
55:26there like just suspecting like if
55:28something like somebody pulled in the
55:29back and because we have drive away back
55:32there from the new town homes, but it's
55:34it's so hard to tell. like there's no
55:36cameras in the backyard or anything like
55:38that. So, it's it's really hard to even
55:41suspect anything right now as far as how
55:42she could have left or if someone came
55:44picked her up or someone took her.
55:47>> So, again, he's nonchalant. He's
55:49downplaying everything. He's like,
55:50"Yeah, you know, I don't want to throw
55:52anything out there you guys yet, but I
55:55don't know. Someone probably picked her
55:57up from the back." Right now, I suspect
55:59that she was taken from the back. trying
56:02to get the public and the police and the
56:04news crew to believe that Shannan just
56:06took off on her own. Let's continue.
56:09>> Today's reality, you've got cops there,
56:11cops tier, cops in your house, K9 units.
56:14>> It's I've I've never seen something like
56:17this in my lifetime, unless it was on TV
56:19or a movie. And this this doesn't seem
56:22real at all. It just seems like I'm I'm
56:24living in a nightmare and I can't get
56:26out of it. I just want them home so bad.
56:30I've never seen anything like this
56:32before, you know. Maybe I mean only on
56:35movies and TV.
56:39But um
56:42yeah, you know, I just I just want
56:47I just want them back. I just want them
56:50back so bad.
56:58Um, did you see your kids and your wife
57:00whenever or you had the kids? I forgot
57:02when
57:02>> Yeah, I had the kids over the weekend.
57:04>> Did you see your wife when she got home?
57:06>> She got home really late about 2 a.m.
57:08from the airport when she got back from
57:09Arizona.
57:11>> Did you wake up and say, you know,
57:12>> no, I saw her when she got in, but it
57:15was really quick. Just
57:16>> Why is he talking like that? What's
57:18What's going on with his mouth?
57:21I sense contempt. He seems annoyed. He's
57:24like,
57:25>> I had the kids over the weekend.
57:27>> Did you see your wife when she got home?
57:29>> She got home really late, about 2 am
57:31from the airport when she got back from
57:32Arizona.
57:34>> Did you wake up and say, you know,
57:35>> no, I saw her when she got in, but it
57:38was really quick just because it was 2
57:40a.m. in the morning, but I saw the kids
57:41in the monitor before I left and
57:44that was it.
57:46>> What What kind of efforts are happening
57:47right now, Chris, to find
57:49>> I saw the kids on the monitor this
57:50morning and you know that was it. You
57:53are wasting his time right now. He has
57:56better things to do. Look at the way he
57:58answers. He answers with such disdain.
58:01It's like he hates this family that he's
58:04pleading for. It was so obvious from the
58:07beginning that Chris did not want his
58:09family back. Let's continue.
58:12>> Find them.
58:12>> Right now in Frederick Police
58:14Department, they've been they've been on
58:16point. They've with the officers,
58:18detectives, sergeants, K9 units here.
58:20They're getting sense. So hopefully they
58:23can pick up something and kind of go in
58:25a direction that will actually lead us
58:28to where maybe they're at right now.
58:33>> Um here we go with the officers, the
58:36detectives, and the sergeants and the K9
58:39units. Something positive. It sounds
58:40like he just wants it to lead to
58:42something positive for him. The outcome
58:44that he wants is to be positive for him.
58:47Which is why he doesn't outwardly say,
58:50"I hope that the K9 units find my
58:53family." Because we know that he doesn't
58:56want the K9 units to find his family.
58:58When we find his family, we'll know that
59:01because of how they were found, they
59:03were victims of homicide. And so,
59:06obviously, he doesn't want his family to
59:08be found. So, he will not even say it.
59:11So, I hope the K9 units end up doing
59:14something with that situation. And I
59:17hope that this situation ends up in
59:20circumstances that are of a positive
59:23nature for some human beings who are
59:26involved in this said circumstance of
59:30the present time. He sounds like a
59:32politician. I hope that that family,
59:35wherever they may be, I hope that they
59:37may return. Let's continue.
59:40Shannan went to
59:45>> Where'd you get that shirt?
59:46>> Oh, this is uh I think she got it off
59:49Amazon, but this is my favorite college
59:51sports team.
59:52>> She was Wasn't she just there?
59:54>> She was Yeah, just in North Carolina.
59:56Yep. So, she probably she actually
59:57probably got it from there. Usually she
59:58gets stuff from Amazon, but this one I
1:00:01like these shirts a lot.
1:00:04>> You guys you you love your shirt.
1:00:06Describe your little girls to us. And
1:00:08you know
1:00:08>> this Celeste, she's just a ball of
1:00:11energy. She's call her rampage cuz she's
1:00:14like she's just always she's got two
1:00:16speeds. Go or she's sleeping. And she's
1:00:18always a troublemaker. She's always the
1:00:20one like jumping off things, you know,
1:00:22just yelling at you and all kinds of
1:00:24things. And Bella, she's the more calm,
1:00:26cautious mothering type. And she's she's
1:00:30more like me. She's more calm. She's But
1:00:34uh Celeste has definitely got her mom's
1:00:36personality to where she's always just
1:00:38gung-ho, ready to go.
1:00:40>> Chris shows more emotion describing his
1:00:44t-shirt. His favorite t-shirt, the
1:00:46Carolina Tar Heels. I love this shirt.
1:00:49Shannan gets things from Amazon, but she
1:00:51was in North Carolina, so who knows,
1:00:53maybe she got it from there. I love
1:00:55these shirts a lot, though. And then the
1:00:57reporter asked him, "Okay, so tell me
1:00:59about your daughters." Oh, yeah. Uh
1:01:02yeah, my kids. My kids. You know, my
1:01:05kids.
1:01:06>> We've seen Nicole Cassinger. We've seen
1:01:08the same type of acting with Nicole
1:01:11Cassinger, she'll be doing one thing
1:01:13like, "Yeah, you know, oh my god, yes."
1:01:16And then when the interrogator asks her,
1:01:19"Oh, so who's Charlotte?" And she's
1:01:21like, "Who?
1:01:24You're asking me that question? How dare
1:01:27you? What? She's just my friend." Who's
1:01:30Charlotte?
1:01:33>> Are you asking me who's Charlotte? Like
1:01:34one of my friends?
1:01:36>> Uh, she's like a really good friend of
1:01:38mine. Why?
1:01:39>> Did you have some conversations with her
1:01:41regarding another boyfriend?
1:01:45>> You might have met Anie Harmony or did
1:01:47she meet somebody on Harmony?
1:01:49>> No, she's engaged.
1:01:51>> Same with Chris. We see him standing
1:01:53here and he's looking at both reporters.
1:01:55Who's going to ask me a question?
1:01:58And then the question is about the
1:02:00t-shirt. And he goes, "Oh, yeah. I love
1:02:03this t-shirt. I love it."
1:02:05>> Yeah. It's my favorite college sports
1:02:08team. Okay, Carissa, tell us about your
1:02:10daughters. Oh, yeah. You know, my kids.
1:02:15Yeah. Uh, the little one. Call her
1:02:18Rampage. She's just like her mom. Just
1:02:21like her mom. Um, Bella. She's just like
1:02:25me. She's more of the mothering type.
1:02:28More calm like me, says the man who
1:02:32murdered his daughter, the one who was a
1:02:35lot like him. And then he also killed
1:02:38his other daughter, the one that was a
1:02:39lot like Shannan. I believe that he
1:02:42drugged Shannan. I think Shannan was out
1:02:45cold when he killed her because he's a
1:02:48coward. He could not even bring himself
1:02:50to let Shannan know that he was cheating
1:02:52on her. Even knowing that he was going
1:02:54to snuff the life out of her, he still
1:02:56did not have the courage to tell Shannan
1:02:59that he was cheating on her. So, I
1:03:01believe he drugged her and she was out
1:03:03completely cold. She was completely
1:03:06asleep and had no idea what was coming.
1:03:08And that is the only way that he was
1:03:10able to do that. He tried the same thing
1:03:12with his daughters. He tried killing
1:03:14them in their sleep. He says so himself
1:03:17in the letters that he wrote to Cheryl
1:03:19and Kadel that he he smothered his
1:03:22daughters and then he was surprised when
1:03:24they both woke up asking what is wrong
1:03:26with mommy because he thought that he
1:03:28had killed them again because he's such
1:03:30a coward. He's such a pathetic pos that
1:03:35the only way that he can kill his family
1:03:37is by doing it in their sleep. And so
1:03:40the fact that he had to then do it a
1:03:42second time while they were alive, awake
1:03:46and alive, fully awake, fully aware of
1:03:49what was going on in their surroundings.
1:03:51Yeah. He was pissed off. He he wrote in
1:03:54that letter to Cheryl and Kel that he
1:03:55was upset. He was angry that they were
1:03:58alive cuz now he had to kill them again
1:04:00and now they were fully awake. And yeah,
1:04:03I do believe that the thing that haunts
1:04:06him is the fact that he was able to take
1:04:08out his family, Shannan, the unborn baby
1:04:12that he never met and he didn't have to
1:04:13see, so it was easy for him to do. And
1:04:15then Celeste was too much like Shannan.
1:04:18And the way that he describes Celeste is
1:04:20just different. I'm I'm sure he probably
1:04:22still felt something because he murdered
1:04:26a three-year-old who was his flesh and
1:04:28blood. I still think that it was a lot
1:04:31harder for him to do the same to Bella
1:04:33because Bella was his firstborn. Bella
1:04:36was like him. Bella put up a fight and
1:04:38it was the fight that he was trying to
1:04:40avoid this whole time. He just wanted
1:04:42his family gone like just disappear. If
1:04:45he could just snap the finger and they
1:04:46could just poof disappear. That is what
1:04:48he wanted. But he couldn't do that
1:04:50obviously. So the easiest way out for
1:04:53him was just to annihilate the family.
1:04:55And what would have been easier for him
1:04:57mentally, psychologically, and maybe,
1:05:00again, who knows, right? Too much
1:05:02credit, but who knows? Maybe even
1:05:04emotionally, the easiest way for him to
1:05:07get rid of his family was to do it while
1:05:08they were sleeping. There was no fight.
1:05:11There was no struggle. But the fact that
1:05:12he had to then do it to his two
1:05:14daughters who were very awake and
1:05:17Celeste did not put up a fight. Not like
1:05:19Bella. Bella put up a fight and Bella
1:05:22said words. Her last words according to
1:05:25Chris were, "Daddy, no." But anyway, let
1:05:27me know again if I gave Chris too much
1:05:29credit here.
1:05:30>> The ring type and she's she's more like
1:05:33me. She's more calm. She's But uh
1:05:36Celeste has definitely got her mom's
1:05:39personality to where she's always just
1:05:40gung-ho, ready to go.
1:05:42>> Have a baby on
1:05:45you about that third child.
1:05:47>> Mhm.
1:05:47>> Is that kind of going through your mind
1:05:48right now, too?
1:05:49>> That's like That's why I want everybody
1:05:51back.
1:05:53That's fine. Everybody I need everybody
1:05:54back here. I need everybody safe.
1:05:59I
1:05:59>> think I'm good.
1:06:02>> Notice how he didn't even answer the
1:06:04last question. The last question the
1:06:05reporter asked him was, "Oh, you have a
1:06:07baby on the way too, right? Like let us
1:06:09like tell us like what do you feel about
1:06:11that?" And he's like, "Yeah, that's why
1:06:13I want everybody back. That's why that's
1:06:15why I need everybody back. I need
1:06:17everybody back here now. That's why."
1:06:20not a mention of the baby. One of the
1:06:23biggest reasons that he murdered Shannan
1:06:25was to get rid of the baby because
1:06:27having a baby meant that it would
1:06:30complicate things. In his mind and in
1:06:32Nicole Kessinger's mind, it would
1:06:34probably be easier to separate from your
1:06:36wife with the two grown kids. However,
1:06:40if you have a baby on the way, it just
1:06:43complicates things. Nicole Kessinger did
1:06:45not want that baby to be born. In my
1:06:47opinion, speculation. I do not think
1:06:50that she wanted that baby to be born
1:06:52because she wanted to be the one to give
1:06:54that experience to Chris. Nicole
1:06:55Kessinger was jealous of Shannan.
1:06:57Everything that Nicole wanted, Shannan
1:06:59had. And so if Shannan then gave him a
1:07:02son, which is the thing that he wanted
1:07:04the most, then what was Nicole going to
1:07:07give him? Nothing. He has already
1:07:09experienced all of those things that
1:07:11Nicole wanted to experience. So what new
1:07:14experiences were was Nicole going to
1:07:16bring to Chris? the only new experience
1:07:19that she could bring to him was to give
1:07:20him a son. But since Shannan was already
1:07:23doing that, she could not have that
1:07:24happen. And so the oxy didn't work. The
1:07:27oxy did not lead to a miscarriage. And
1:07:30the biggest thing here, the biggest
1:07:32threat to their relationship was
1:07:35bringing yet another baby into this
1:07:38world. That was the biggest threat I in
1:07:40my opinion was a newborn son. Not a
1:07:43single mention. The reporter asked him,
1:07:45the reporter had to remind him, "Oh,
1:07:48your wife is also pregnant, right? Like,
1:07:50you are expecting a child." And he's
1:07:51like, "Yeah,
1:07:54don't even ask me about that. I don't
1:07:55want to talk about that." I get the
1:07:57impression that Chris was pestered so
1:08:01much by Nicole because of that baby that
1:08:04he doesn't want to keep hearing it. He's
1:08:06tired. He's like, "Yeah, I know. I
1:08:08already know that there was a baby. I
1:08:09heard it from Nicole constantly." But
1:08:12anyway, that's just my opinion. Uh,
1:08:15let's continue. There's It's literally
1:08:17This is the end of it.
1:08:19Let me know what you think. Let me know
1:08:21what you thought about Chris Watts 7
1:08:24years ago when you first watched this
1:08:25interview and let me know your thoughts

1:09:28got the Let's Continue stickers.
1:09:33We have the laptop let's continue
1:09:36sticker. And then we also have the let's

1:09:55made possible because of you guys. As
1:09:57this channel grows and as we get 5,000
1:10:01and then 10,000 subscribers, we'll be
1:10:03able to make more merch. Um, my goal is
1:10:06to make t-shirts. I also want to make

1:10:21almost over. So, I will be putting a
1:10:23poll out for the next series. Now, for
1:10:26the series, we do have a few options. We
1:10:29have the Nicole Kessinger interview
1:10:31without her dad.
1:10:33>> Like, I think I made it clear that I
1:10:35wasn't like 100% sure this was like the
1:10:37man of my dreams and I was going to
1:10:39spend the rest of my life with him or
1:10:40anything, but I was enjoying the time
1:10:42that I was spending with him at that
1:10:44point.
1:10:46>> And then we also have other suggestions
1:10:48like Chris Watts, the Chris Watts
1:10:50interrogation videos. We also have Chris
1:10:53Watt's body cam footage that we can
1:10:56dissect and make it into a series or we
1:10:59can also choose an entirely new case.
1:11:02It's up to you guys. This channel is for
