Full transcript
- 0:00i've talked about a lot of topics
- 0:03regarding the chris watts case and one
- 0:05of the things i've talked about a decent
- 0:07amount
- 0:07that i want to talk about again today is
- 0:10just how interested people are
- 0:12in chris watts and the case in general
- 0:16you know even two years later that's
- 0:17something i say a lot to
- 0:19even two years later obviously it's 20
- 0:2120 now 2018 when it happened
- 0:24so that's what i mean and you know
- 0:27i'm part of that group who still finds
- 0:29chris watts really interesting
- 0:31and you know obviously everyone has
- 0:32their own uh unique set of reasons
- 0:36why they think chris wants and the case
- 0:38is so interesting
- 0:39you know it could be unanswered
- 0:41questions
- 0:43uh you know just be about how disturbing
- 0:44the murders were
- 0:46or you know the sexual element or
- 0:49maybe you just think chris wants is
- 0:50attractive so you watch a lot of videos
- 0:52about them
- 0:53you know whatever everyone has their own
- 0:54reasons and that's what i want to talk
- 0:56about today
- 0:57i want to talk about my reasons why i'm
- 0:59still interested in chris watts
- 1:00in 2020 and you know at the end of the
- 1:04day
- 1:04it is a combination of a lot of things
- 1:07but i do want to touch on
- 1:08the main reason why i'm interested in
- 1:12chris wants now
- 1:13but first i wanted to talk about why
- 1:17i was interested in the chris watts case
- 1:19when it first happened and then for the
- 1:20months following that
- 1:22uh obviously i think this is the same
- 1:23reason a lot of people were initially
- 1:25you know
- 1:26right off the bat interested with chris
- 1:27wants and
- 1:29you know it's just the heinousness of
- 1:30the murders and how disturbing
- 1:32you know just the thought is that you
- 1:34could or that someone would kill their
- 1:36own
- 1:38wife who's pregnant and their two young
- 1:40daughters you know
- 1:42i think that was a big reason just you
- 1:43know the pure shock factor
- 1:47of learning or you know realizing that
- 1:49this could happen you know to anyone
- 1:52and that's a big reason i think why
- 1:54people are interested in it
- 1:56and obviously when a case does reach
- 1:58national news there's
- 1:59reason and i think that's the reason why
- 2:02chris wants was on the news
- 2:03i think a lot of people already know
- 2:04that and you would just assume that but
- 2:07i thought i'd say it in the video
- 2:10but now if you jump forward in time to
- 2:142020
- 2:16you know i i've kind of become
- 2:18desensitized to the details of the
- 2:20murder that's not really what i care
- 2:21about
- 2:22anymore you know obviously it's still
- 2:23disgusting and disturbing and horrendous
- 2:25but
- 2:26you know that's not really what keeps me
- 2:28coming back to chris watts videos and
- 2:31chris wants documentaries it's not
- 2:32really about the murders themselves
- 2:34anymore
- 2:35well i mean obviously everything's tied
- 2:37back into the murders but it's not about
- 2:39the murders themselves i i'm really
- 2:41interested
- 2:42in chris wants for the same reason i
- 2:44think a lot of people are and it's
- 2:45unanswered questions you know a lot of
- 2:47people want to know
- 2:48exactly what happened and one of the big
- 2:51things that i think people have
- 2:53uh unanswered questions that people have
- 2:55is what happened
- 2:56exactly between shenan getting home and
- 2:59chris leaving for work
- 3:01you know that three and a half four
- 3:04four and a half hour period that
- 3:08you know they're all in the house and
- 3:10you know obviously
- 3:11chris is the only one alive to tell you
- 3:14what happened and you know
- 3:18he has answered that question a couple
- 3:20times but again you know
- 3:22it is chris watson's like you know this
- 3:25is the guy who just killed his wife and
- 3:26two daughters so i don't know if i
- 3:28believe you
- 3:29so obviously people are still you know
- 3:31interested in finding out they want to
- 3:33know what happened exactly you know the
- 3:35truth
- 3:36behind that but that's not why i'm
- 3:38interested in chris wants i'm more
- 3:40interested in what he was doing before
- 3:41the murders
- 3:42and what he did after the murders
- 3:46and i'm interested in the stall process
- 3:48behind all of it
- 3:50i'm really just fascinated with the fact
- 3:53that this
- 3:54you know 30 year old man he's 36 now so
- 3:57he's like 34 when it happened you know
- 3:59that's doesn't really matter that he's
- 4:0036
- 4:01now but you know it really blows my mind
- 4:04that
- 4:04this 30 year old man an adult who the
- 4:08brain is fully developed
- 4:13somehow got the idea in his head that he
- 4:15could
- 4:16you know do this and get away with it
- 4:18potentially
- 4:19you know like at what point did you
- 4:21think
- 4:23that you who you know maybe maybe chris
- 4:24stole a candy bar when he was like six
- 4:26years old from walmart or something
- 4:28but chris really wasn't committing any
- 4:30crimes ever
- 4:32so at what point did you think
- 4:35chris that you could get away with this
- 4:38and you know then i'll talk about some
- 4:41other stuff later but like
- 4:43really it blows my mind that he thought
- 4:45that this would somehow
- 4:46work out for him because you know
- 4:49obviously at some point in time he did
- 4:50think he was gonna get away with the
- 4:52potential you know
- 4:53he caused his daughter's school says
- 4:56they're not gonna be
- 4:57enrolled anymore you know he contacts
- 5:00the realtor
- 5:01you know the same day that he just
- 5:03murdered his wife like
- 5:04i don't know how you thought that you
- 5:06were gonna do that and have that not
- 5:08sound suspicious
- 5:10but you know what whatever chris you
- 5:11know i'm not
- 5:13gonna get too upset over not being able
- 5:16to figure that out because
- 5:17you know i don't think he ever can
- 5:19because again it's chris telling you and
- 5:21he's the only one who can
- 5:23so you know you know how that goes
- 5:26but like again i just can't fathom the
- 5:29fact that he thought
- 5:31he was going to do these things and get
- 5:32away with it you know the porch
- 5:33interview obviously i don't know i have
- 5:35no idea why he did that
- 5:37i don't know how he thought that was
- 5:39going to be a good idea or how that
- 5:40would possibly make him look good you
- 5:42know
- 5:43obviously he's smiling during the whole
- 5:45thing he's rocking back and forth
- 5:49you know you can tell that he's he's
- 5:50really nervous
- 5:52and you know he just keeps saying likes
- 5:54and stuff and like and like i want them
- 5:56back
- 5:58and you know he's rocking back and forth
- 6:01he's smiling has he's got that huge grin
- 6:04on his face he's like
- 6:05man i'm finally free for my wife and
- 6:07kids
- 6:08please let this interview in so i can go
- 6:10back to nicole real quick
- 6:12and say did you not notice that you were
- 6:16smiling did
- 6:17did his face just like start
- 6:20smiling on its own so i don't know why
- 6:23he thought that was a good idea
- 6:25you know and obviously i think his train
- 6:28of thought was he needed to look like
- 6:29the
- 6:32concerned father that kind of thing
- 6:35you know he probably thought that it
- 6:37would look suspicious if he didn't
- 6:38interview but you know
- 6:40if your wife and kids are missing
- 6:43and you don't know where they are
- 6:47and some camera crew comes up to you and
- 6:50starts pestering you for an interview i
- 6:52feel like it would be a pretty
- 6:53understandable answer to just say
- 6:56uh my wife and kids are missing i don't
- 6:59want to do this right now i'm going
- 7:01through a hard time
- 7:02and it would probably be like yeah okay
- 7:04that makes a lot of sense
- 7:05uh i hope you find your wife and kids
- 7:08you know she was pregnant so i'm sure it
- 7:09was going to be on the news either way
- 7:11at some point to some degree even if he
- 7:13didn't do the interview so it's like i
- 7:15don't know
- 7:16why you thought that would be a good
- 7:18idea
- 7:20and then you know there's of course the
- 7:22polygraph test that you know
- 7:23you never have to take one but
- 7:27you know chris watts for some reason
- 7:29thinks he can be
- 7:30a polygraph test you know or maybe maybe
- 7:33i don't know maybe he didn't know he had
- 7:36didn't have to take it or you know he
- 7:39didn't know that it couldn't be used as
- 7:40evidence against him
- 7:42in a potential trial i don't know and
- 7:46again it just you know it just blows my
- 7:48mind i can't fan them the fact that this
- 7:5030 year old man this
- 7:52grown man is adult and i mean chris
- 7:54isn't the smartest guy in the world but
- 7:57you know i don't think it takes that
- 8:00smart
- 8:01person to realize that his plan sucked
- 8:04if it was planned you know
- 8:08he drove his daughters
- 8:11and his wife who was dead already
- 8:15to that oil field and his work truck
- 8:19that has a gps so it's like chris
- 8:23what were you thinking did you not plan
- 8:27this at all
- 8:29did you not have any time to maybe
- 8:32think between you murdering shanann
- 8:35and leaving you know maybe like what
- 8:38would be a good idea what's the best way
- 8:40i can get away with this what are gonna
- 8:41be gonna give me the best chance
- 8:43to get away with this did you not think
- 8:45about that
- 8:47i don't know i wish i could ask him
- 8:49these things
- 8:50but i don't think he's gonna respond to
- 8:52my letter
- 8:55at this point it has been a while
- 8:59so i don't think he's gonna get back to
- 9:00me with those questions that i wrote
- 9:02in a letter to him but again i would
- 9:04still love to know
- 9:06what his what was going through his mind
- 9:09you know he's got the driveway cam the
- 9:11gps he's like yeah i don't know where
- 9:13i'm going man it'll be okay
- 9:15no one's ever gonna find these bodies so
- 9:18you know i i don't know i just can't
- 9:20understand
- 9:22and you know gives me a headache really
- 9:24trying to think about it
- 9:25i really try to put myself in his shoes
- 9:27too and think man what would i do if i
- 9:29was going to murder my wife and kids
- 9:32which you know i don't have in real life
- 9:33but let's pretend i do
- 9:35it's like i don't think that's how i
- 9:36would have done it man you know she's
- 9:38got that doctor appointment
- 9:39and it's like you know who nicole you
- 9:42know who nicole atkinson is you know
- 9:43she's gonna notice that
- 9:45shenan's missing like you've met her
- 9:46before and you know what kind of person
- 9:48she is
- 9:49and how close she is with shane so i
- 9:51don't know how he didn't see
- 9:53or think about that
- 9:56you know i don't know how that slipped
- 9:58his mind
- 10:00you know obviously they know each other
- 10:01because she was one of shernan's best
- 10:03friends
- 10:04so at what point why didn't you just say
- 10:06like hey nicole
- 10:07i'm giving shananna ride to her doctor's
- 10:09appointment this morning you don't
- 10:11you don't need to come by you can come
- 10:12by later she'll give you a call
- 10:15yeah so maybe she doesn't show up to the
- 10:17house at like
- 10:1810 a.m like five hours after the murder
- 10:21to report it to the police maybe you can
- 10:23buy yourself
- 10:24a little more time to
- 10:27you know come up with some way that's
- 10:29going to reduce the chances to
- 10:31any degree that you get caught you know
- 10:33to make your things even the slightest
- 10:35bit better for you
- 10:37but of course chris didn't do any of
- 10:39that you know he kind of just uh
- 10:41did it and hoped he would get away with
- 10:44it i think pretty much at the end of the
- 10:46day
- 10:48because yeah and you know
- 10:51i will say this i know we've talked
- 10:53about chris watts a ton
- 10:56and i've called him an idiot and i've
- 10:57seen a bunch of other people call him an
- 10:59idiot
- 11:00but i mean he's not that stupid i mean
- 11:02he can get himself dressed
- 11:04in the morning he had a job
- 11:07it's like he's not that dumb but then
- 11:09you see all these things that he's doing
- 11:12you know right after the murder and it's
- 11:14really confusing
- 11:16like how how you uh get that idea in
- 11:20your mind how do you come to that point
- 11:21when you know you have a fully developed
- 11:23brain
- 11:25you're a fully developed human brain
- 11:29and you think that this is a good idea
- 11:32somehow you've
- 11:33somehow convinced yourself that this
- 11:35could work out for you
- 11:38so that's why i'm interested in chris
- 11:40watts to this day
- 11:41and i know i'm never going to get those
- 11:42answers so i'll probably be
- 11:44interested in chris wants for a long
- 11:46period of time
- 11:49maybe if mine reading comes available
- 11:53it'll let me free from the chris watts
- 11:55case
- 11:57but i don't think that's gonna happen i
- 11:59think chris had a better chance of
- 12:00getting away
- 12:02with the murders and that so again
- 12:05that's why i'm fascinated with chris
- 12:06watts
- 12:07just blows my mind i think i've repeated
- 12:10myself a ton in this video but yeah
- 12:13that's why i'm that's why i'm interested
- 12:14in chris wants
