Any of you true crime baws hear about the Chris Watts case?

Pretty fascinating case.

Basically, a seemingly normal 34 year old husband and father of 2 snapped and killed his pregnant wife, Shanann Watts and 2 young daughters, Cece and Bella.


The police have released body cam footage of the first search of the house and their first interactions with Chris.

Here is a 41 minute bodycam video of the first search.

In that video, you can see him arriving back to his house, entering through his garage and being unaccounted for about 60-90 seconds before he gets to the front door to let the officer in. Some people think he was using those seconds to hastily hide Shanann's phone under a couch cushion and plant her wedding ring on the dresser to make it seem like she left him.

Here is footage of his next door neighbor showing CCTV footage of him backing up his truck into his garage to police and Chris.
He is loading the bodies of the 3 deceased into the bed of his work truck in the footage, but you cant actually see him physically loading the bodies. You can see how nervous Chris is as he watches the video, and it almost seems like he doesnt know if the CCTV footage will pick up him actually carrying the bodies and is bracing himself for that moment.

Worst part of the story is how he disposed of his children. He stuffed them in oil tanks at his work site. He buried Shannan in a shallow grave near by.



He never gave the reason why he killed Shanann and his 2 kids. He was having an affair in the months leading up to the murders, and was becoming increasing distant from Shanann. In the weeks leading up to her death, she was texting friends about how Chris was acting different.





I dont think people will ever know what happened that night. Was it premediated? Probably, but not extremely planned out. To me, it seems like he wanted to live a new life with the girlfriend, and being the fricking dumbass he is, he got the idea that he could kill them and hide their bodies, report them as missing, and that was it. I dont think he really understood how suspicous this would have looked to police. Either way, its hard to imagine how a father can smother his own 2 children for 2-3 minutes each. Sickening. He deserves to rot in prison. frick the death penalty. Put this guy in isolation the rest of his life.
