  2. 0:03regarding the chris watts case and one
  3. 0:05of the things i've talked about a decent
  4. 0:07amount
  5. 0:07that i want to talk about again today is
  6. 0:10just how interested people are
  7. 0:12in chris watts and the case in general
  8. 0:16you know even two years later that's
  9. 0:17something i say a lot to
  10. 0:19even two years later obviously it's 20
  11. 0:2120 now 2018 when it happened
  12. 0:24so that's what i mean and you know
  13. 0:27i'm part of that group who still finds
  14. 0:29chris watts really interesting
  15. 0:31and you know obviously everyone has
  16. 0:32their own uh unique set of reasons
  17. 0:36why they think chris wants and the case
  18. 0:38is so interesting
  19. 0:39you know it could be unanswered
  20. 0:41questions
  21. 0:43uh you know just be about how disturbing
  22. 0:44the murders were
  23. 0:46or you know the sexual element or
  24. 0:49maybe you just think chris wants is
  25. 0:50attractive so you watch a lot of videos
  26. 0:52about them
  27. 0:53you know whatever everyone has their own
  28. 0:54reasons and that's what i want to talk
  29. 0:56about today
  30. 0:57i want to talk about my reasons why i'm
  31. 0:59still interested in chris watts
  32. 1:00in 2020 and you know at the end of the
  33. 1:04day
  34. 1:04it is a combination of a lot of things
  35. 1:07but i do want to touch on
  36. 1:08the main reason why i'm interested in
  37. 1:12chris wants now
  38. 1:13but first i wanted to talk about why
  39. 1:17i was interested in the chris watts case
  40. 1:19when it first happened and then for the
  41. 1:20months following that
  42. 1:22uh obviously i think this is the same
  43. 1:23reason a lot of people were initially
  44. 1:25you know
  45. 1:26right off the bat interested with chris
  46. 1:27wants and
  47. 1:29you know it's just the heinousness of
  48. 1:30the murders and how disturbing
  49. 1:32you know just the thought is that you
  50. 1:34could or that someone would kill their
  51. 1:36own
  52. 1:38wife who's pregnant and their two young
  53. 1:40daughters you know
  54. 1:42i think that was a big reason just you
  55. 1:43know the pure shock factor
  56. 1:47of learning or you know realizing that
  57. 1:49this could happen you know to anyone
  58. 1:52and that's a big reason i think why
  59. 1:54people are interested in it
  60. 1:56and obviously when a case does reach
  61. 1:58national news there's
  62. 1:59reason and i think that's the reason why
  63. 2:02chris wants was on the news
  64. 2:03i think a lot of people already know
  65. 2:04that and you would just assume that but
  66. 2:07i thought i'd say it in the video
  67. 2:10but now if you jump forward in time to
  68. 2:142020
  69. 2:16you know i i've kind of become
  70. 2:18desensitized to the details of the
  71. 2:20murder that's not really what i care
  72. 2:21about
  73. 2:22anymore you know obviously it's still
  74. 2:23disgusting and disturbing and horrendous
  75. 2:25but
  76. 2:26you know that's not really what keeps me
  77. 2:28coming back to chris watts videos and
  78. 2:31chris wants documentaries it's not
  79. 2:32really about the murders themselves
  80. 2:34anymore
  81. 2:35well i mean obviously everything's tied
  82. 2:37back into the murders but it's not about
  83. 2:39the murders themselves i i'm really
  84. 2:41interested
  85. 2:42in chris wants for the same reason i
  86. 2:44think a lot of people are and it's
  87. 2:45unanswered questions you know a lot of
  88. 2:47people want to know
  89. 2:48exactly what happened and one of the big
  90. 2:51things that i think people have
  91. 2:53uh unanswered questions that people have
  92. 2:55is what happened
  93. 2:56exactly between shenan getting home and
  94. 2:59chris leaving for work
  95. 3:01you know that three and a half four
  96. 3:04four and a half hour period that
  97. 3:08you know they're all in the house and
  98. 3:10you know obviously
  99. 3:11chris is the only one alive to tell you
  100. 3:14what happened and you know
  101. 3:18he has answered that question a couple
  102. 3:20times but again you know
  103. 3:22it is chris watson's like you know this
  104. 3:25is the guy who just killed his wife and
  105. 3:26two daughters so i don't know if i
  106. 3:28believe you
  107. 3:29so obviously people are still you know
  108. 3:31interested in finding out they want to
  109. 3:33know what happened exactly you know the
  110. 3:35truth
  111. 3:36behind that but that's not why i'm
  112. 3:38interested in chris wants i'm more
  113. 3:40interested in what he was doing before
  114. 3:41the murders
  115. 3:42and what he did after the murders
  116. 3:46and i'm interested in the stall process
  117. 3:48behind all of it
  118. 3:50i'm really just fascinated with the fact
  119. 3:53that this
  120. 3:54you know 30 year old man he's 36 now so
  121. 3:57he's like 34 when it happened you know
  122. 3:59that's doesn't really matter that he's
  123. 4:0036
  124. 4:01now but you know it really blows my mind
  125. 4:04that
  126. 4:04this 30 year old man an adult who the
  127. 4:08brain is fully developed
  128. 4:13somehow got the idea in his head that he
  129. 4:15could
  130. 4:16you know do this and get away with it
  131. 4:18potentially
  132. 4:19you know like at what point did you
  133. 4:21think
  134. 4:23that you who you know maybe maybe chris
  135. 4:24stole a candy bar when he was like six
  136. 4:26years old from walmart or something
  137. 4:28but chris really wasn't committing any
  138. 4:30crimes ever
  139. 4:32so at what point did you think
  140. 4:35chris that you could get away with this
  141. 4:38and you know then i'll talk about some
  142. 4:41other stuff later but like
  143. 4:43really it blows my mind that he thought
  144. 4:45that this would somehow
  145. 4:46work out for him because you know
  146. 4:49obviously at some point in time he did
  147. 4:50think he was gonna get away with the
  148. 4:52potential you know
  149. 4:53he caused his daughter's school says
  150. 4:56they're not gonna be
  151. 4:57enrolled anymore you know he contacts
  152. 5:00the realtor
  153. 5:01you know the same day that he just
  154. 5:03murdered his wife like
  155. 5:04i don't know how you thought that you
  156. 5:06were gonna do that and have that not
  157. 5:08sound suspicious
  158. 5:10but you know what whatever chris you
  159. 5:11know i'm not
  160. 5:13gonna get too upset over not being able
  161. 5:16to figure that out because
  162. 5:17you know i don't think he ever can
  163. 5:19because again it's chris telling you and
  164. 5:21he's the only one who can
  165. 5:23so you know you know how that goes
  166. 5:26but like again i just can't fathom the
  167. 5:29fact that he thought
  168. 5:31he was going to do these things and get
  169. 5:32away with it you know the porch
  170. 5:33interview obviously i don't know i have
  171. 5:35no idea why he did that
  172. 5:37i don't know how he thought that was
  173. 5:39going to be a good idea or how that
  174. 5:40would possibly make him look good you
  175. 5:42know
  176. 5:43obviously he's smiling during the whole
  177. 5:45thing he's rocking back and forth
  178. 5:49you know you can tell that he's he's
  179. 5:50really nervous
  180. 5:52and you know he just keeps saying likes
  181. 5:54and stuff and like and like i want them
  182. 5:56back
  183. 5:58and you know he's rocking back and forth
  184. 6:01he's smiling has he's got that huge grin
  185. 6:04on his face he's like
  186. 6:05man i'm finally free for my wife and
  187. 6:07kids
  188. 6:08please let this interview in so i can go
  189. 6:10back to nicole real quick
  190. 6:12and say did you not notice that you were
  191. 6:16smiling did
  192. 6:17did his face just like start
  193. 6:20smiling on its own so i don't know why
  194. 6:23he thought that was a good idea
  195. 6:25you know and obviously i think his train
  196. 6:28of thought was he needed to look like
  197. 6:29the
  198. 6:32concerned father that kind of thing
  199. 6:35you know he probably thought that it
  200. 6:37would look suspicious if he didn't
  201. 6:38interview but you know
  202. 6:40if your wife and kids are missing
  203. 6:43and you don't know where they are
  204. 6:47and some camera crew comes up to you and
  205. 6:50starts pestering you for an interview i
  206. 6:52feel like it would be a pretty
  207. 6:53understandable answer to just say
  208. 6:56uh my wife and kids are missing i don't
  209. 6:59want to do this right now i'm going
  210. 7:01through a hard time
  211. 7:02and it would probably be like yeah okay
  212. 7:04that makes a lot of sense
  213. 7:05uh i hope you find your wife and kids
  214. 7:08you know she was pregnant so i'm sure it
  215. 7:09was going to be on the news either way
  216. 7:11at some point to some degree even if he
  217. 7:13didn't do the interview so it's like i
  218. 7:15don't know
  219. 7:16why you thought that would be a good
  220. 7:18idea
  221. 7:20and then you know there's of course the
  222. 7:22polygraph test that you know
  223. 7:23you never have to take one but
  224. 7:27you know chris watts for some reason
  225. 7:29thinks he can be
  226. 7:30a polygraph test you know or maybe maybe
  227. 7:33i don't know maybe he didn't know he had
  228. 7:36didn't have to take it or you know he
  229. 7:39didn't know that it couldn't be used as
  230. 7:40evidence against him
  231. 7:42in a potential trial i don't know and
  232. 7:46again it just you know it just blows my
  233. 7:48mind i can't fan them the fact that this
  234. 7:5030 year old man this
  235. 7:52grown man is adult and i mean chris
  236. 7:54isn't the smartest guy in the world but
  237. 7:57you know i don't think it takes that
  238. 8:00smart
  239. 8:01person to realize that his plan sucked
  240. 8:04if it was planned you know
  241. 8:08he drove his daughters
  242. 8:11and his wife who was dead already
  243. 8:15to that oil field and his work truck
  244. 8:19that has a gps so it's like chris
  245. 8:23what were you thinking did you not plan
  246. 8:27this at all
  247. 8:29did you not have any time to maybe
  248. 8:32think between you murdering shanann
  249. 8:35and leaving you know maybe like what
  250. 8:38would be a good idea what's the best way
  251. 8:40i can get away with this what are gonna
  252. 8:41be gonna give me the best chance
  253. 8:43to get away with this did you not think
  254. 8:45about that
  255. 8:47i don't know i wish i could ask him
  256. 8:49these things
  257. 8:50but i don't think he's gonna respond to
  258. 8:52my letter
  259. 8:55at this point it has been a while
  260. 8:59so i don't think he's gonna get back to
  261. 9:00me with those questions that i wrote
  262. 9:02in a letter to him but again i would
  263. 9:04still love to know
  264. 9:06what his what was going through his mind
  265. 9:09you know he's got the driveway cam the
  266. 9:11gps he's like yeah i don't know where
  267. 9:13i'm going man it'll be okay
  268. 9:15no one's ever gonna find these bodies so
  269. 9:18you know i i don't know i just can't
  270. 9:20understand
  271. 9:22and you know gives me a headache really
  272. 9:24trying to think about it
  273. 9:25i really try to put myself in his shoes
  274. 9:27too and think man what would i do if i
  275. 9:29was going to murder my wife and kids
  276. 9:32which you know i don't have in real life
  277. 9:33but let's pretend i do
  278. 9:35it's like i don't think that's how i
  279. 9:36would have done it man you know she's
  280. 9:38got that doctor appointment
  281. 9:39and it's like you know who nicole you
  282. 9:42know who nicole atkinson is you know
  283. 9:43she's gonna notice that
  284. 9:45shenan's missing like you've met her
  285. 9:46before and you know what kind of person
  286. 9:48she is
  287. 9:49and how close she is with shane so i
  288. 9:51don't know how he didn't see
  289. 9:53or think about that
  290. 9:56you know i don't know how that slipped
  291. 9:58his mind
  292. 10:00you know obviously they know each other
  293. 10:01because she was one of shernan's best
  294. 10:03friends
  295. 10:04so at what point why didn't you just say
  296. 10:06like hey nicole
  297. 10:07i'm giving shananna ride to her doctor's
  298. 10:09appointment this morning you don't
  299. 10:11you don't need to come by you can come
  300. 10:12by later she'll give you a call
  301. 10:15yeah so maybe she doesn't show up to the
  302. 10:17house at like
  303. 10:1810 a.m like five hours after the murder
  304. 10:21to report it to the police maybe you can
  305. 10:23buy yourself
  306. 10:24a little more time to
  307. 10:27you know come up with some way that's
  308. 10:29going to reduce the chances to
  309. 10:31any degree that you get caught you know
  310. 10:33to make your things even the slightest
  311. 10:35bit better for you
  312. 10:37but of course chris didn't do any of
  313. 10:39that you know he kind of just uh
  314. 10:41did it and hoped he would get away with
  315. 10:44it i think pretty much at the end of the
  316. 10:46day
  317. 10:48because yeah and you know
  318. 10:51i will say this i know we've talked
  319. 10:53about chris watts a ton
  320. 10:56and i've called him an idiot and i've
  321. 10:57seen a bunch of other people call him an
  322. 10:59idiot
  323. 11:00but i mean he's not that stupid i mean
  324. 11:02he can get himself dressed
  325. 11:04in the morning he had a job
  326. 11:07it's like he's not that dumb but then
  327. 11:09you see all these things that he's doing
  328. 11:12you know right after the murder and it's
  329. 11:14really confusing
  330. 11:16like how how you uh get that idea in
  331. 11:20your mind how do you come to that point
  332. 11:21when you know you have a fully developed
  333. 11:23brain
  334. 11:25you're a fully developed human brain
  335. 11:29and you think that this is a good idea
  336. 11:32somehow you've
  337. 11:33somehow convinced yourself that this
  338. 11:35could work out for you
  339. 11:38so that's why i'm interested in chris
  340. 11:40watts to this day
  341. 11:41and i know i'm never going to get those
  342. 11:42answers so i'll probably be
  343. 11:44interested in chris wants for a long
  344. 11:46period of time
  345. 11:49maybe if mine reading comes available
  346. 11:53it'll let me free from the chris watts
  347. 11:55case
  348. 11:57but i don't think that's gonna happen i
  349. 11:59think chris had a better chance of
  350. 12:00getting away
  351. 12:02with the murders and that so again
  352. 12:05that's why i'm fascinated with chris
  353. 12:06watts
  354. 12:07just blows my mind i think i've repeated
  355. 12:10myself a ton in this video but yeah
  356. 12:13that's why i'm that's why i'm interested
  357. 12:14in chris wants
