- 5:01Speaker 12: Across country North Carolina.
- 5:02Speaker 4: Oh yeah, so that's not happening.
- 5:08Speaker 9: She can play her.
- 5:11Speaker 6: All the girls blankies are gone.
- 5:16Speaker 12: There's blankies they sleep if they don't leave anywhere without him.
- 5:18Speaker 5: But nothing else beers be missing, though, just stuff you'd
- 5:23Speaker 5: take for a quick trip.
- 5:26Speaker 6: She'd tell you.
- 5:27Speaker 5: Anything about leaving, moving out.
- 5:29Speaker 6: Not moving out. I mean, the last time talk to
- 5:31Speaker 6: her was this morning.
- 5:32Speaker 13: She says she's gonna take the kids to a friend's house,
- 5:36Speaker 13: and then she asked where she was going to be
- 5:38Speaker 13: and then I've text her today.
- 5:40Speaker 6: I never heard anything but the cars.
- 5:43Speaker 13: The cars here, cars unless somebody can picked her up.
- 5:46Speaker 13: But the people that I know, nobody start from her.
- 5:51Speaker 8: Nobody's see her.
- 5:52Speaker 2: Am I just projecting? Or can you tell who's lying
- 5:54Speaker 2: right there? You know I picked up a lot. If
- 5:57Speaker 2: we could put that on mute and see the video again.
- 6:02Speaker 2: You see Chris Watts leading the police along they're trying
- 6:06Speaker 2: to find his wife, his pregnant wife, Shenan. Check out
- 6:08Speaker 2: the closet that I noticed immediately. Everything is in perfect order.
- 6:12Speaker 2: She wanted to give him the perfect home. She had
- 6:18Speaker 2: designed it, she had painted it. Look how organized. She
- 6:21Speaker 2: even has her husband's clothes color coordinated. To see the
- 6:24Speaker 2: sports shirts on the end. Then you've got dark, then
- 6:27Speaker 2: you've got blue, then you've got plaid, orange, white, It
- 6:31Speaker 2: goes on all the way around. She had in her
- 6:37Speaker 2: mind the perfect home, the perfect marriage, the perfect family.
- 6:43Speaker 2: Where does he fit in? Another thing? Oh yeah, another
- 6:49Speaker 2: thing that jumped out at me. As he's walking through
- 6:52Speaker 2: the home, he points out the baby's blankets are missing.
- 6:57Speaker 2: He knows exactly where those blankets are. They were with
- 7:02Speaker 2: the children Bella and Celeste when he murdered them, and
- 7:08Speaker 2: he has a straight face. This guy can lie like
- 7:12Speaker 2: a rug. So when we are judging someone's demeanor, you
- 7:19Speaker 2: can really be fooled. This is Chris Watts aka Killer Dad.
- 7:25Speaker 2: But you've got to see this the inevitable begging for
- 7:32Speaker 2: their return.
- 7:34Speaker 13: Nan, Bella, Celeste. If you're out there, just just come back,
- 7:39Speaker 13: like if somebody has her, just please bring her back.
- 7:43Speaker 13: I need to see everybody. I need to see everybody again.
- 7:45Speaker 13: This house is not complete without anybody here.
- 7:49Speaker 6: Please bring it back.
- 7:50Speaker 2: That's where our friend's at Denver seven. That was his
- 7:54Speaker 2: emotional plea for his wife to come home, for the
- 7:58Speaker 2: unknown perpetrator to bring her bag. That the house is
- 8:01Speaker 2: not complete. That was your doing. Once you're doing, it's
- 8:05Speaker 2: such a horrific manner. Even the neighbor noticed his behavior
- 8:10Speaker 2: was very odd, uncharacteristically odd.
- 8:13Speaker 5: Watch if you just want to go talk to him,
- 8:16Speaker 5: I'm wanna get his infu real quick. He's not a no, he's.
- 8:22Speaker 6: Never he's never rock the back of the farthing. If
- 8:27Speaker 6: you look something other boats of stuff that they out
- 8:33Speaker 6: of the garage, every right, And it doesn't look like
- 8:40Speaker 6: he can't from that period because he can't come down
- 8:42Speaker 6: the street to be completely almost fifteen. My wife and
- 8:48Speaker 6: I were kind of wondering when she was on ventation
- 8:50Speaker 6: if something happened, because I've heard them pulled out screaming
- 8:54Speaker 6: at each other at the top of their mom and
- 8:56Speaker 6: he gets crazy.
- 8:57Speaker 5: That's pretty recently.
- 8:58Speaker 6: Yeah, her best and that's why she went and vented,
- 9:03Speaker 6: did people because she wanted to get away from the situation.
- 9:06Speaker 2: I love the neighbor. I want him to be my neighbor.
- 9:10Speaker 2: So from his doorcam, he could see what was happening
- 9:14Speaker 2: at Shenan's home she shared with Watts, and he could
- 9:18Speaker 2: see what's loading things in and out of the car.
- 9:20Speaker 2: He could see Shanan's car parked there. Now he referred
- 9:23Speaker 2: to her going out of town. She had gone out
- 9:26Speaker 2: of tamp Ror to her murder. She was with her
- 9:29Speaker 2: family in North Carolina with the two little girls. She
- 9:34Speaker 2: did not leave the two little girls with daddy, took
- 9:37Speaker 2: them with her. The neighbor noticing uncharacteristically odd behavior on
- 9:43Speaker 2: the part of Chris Watts. But then there's more.
- 9:48Speaker 14: We waited the time when we were told the mom
- 9:50Speaker 14: called the game. He said he was still on it
- 9:52Speaker 14: in the way another forty five minutes. So he's been
- 9:54Speaker 14: giving us false times and other thing. And we know
- 9:57Speaker 14: he's been lying because you.
- 9:58Speaker 5: Know his stories.
- 9:59Speaker 14: I don't even know writing different stories, because we have
- 10:04Speaker 14: one story she's with a friend right now, and then
- 10:08Speaker 14: there's no story. She studs, play day with the kids
- 10:10Speaker 14: with another friend, and then she left in the moon night.
- 10:13Speaker 14: So she told us through different stories.
- 10:14Speaker 2: So now that's the son of Shenan's best friend, Nicole
- 10:17Speaker 2: Atkinson speaking. Now. I've always believed and observed that if
- 10:24Speaker 2: your story gets embellished, like you add facts to it,
- 10:28Speaker 2: that's totally understandable. Maybe you were not asked the right questions,
- 10:32Speaker 2: maybe you remembered something in addition, like hey, now I
- 10:36Speaker 2: remember X. But when your story changes, that is a problem.
- 10:41Speaker 2: All right, You're hearing Nicole Atkinson's son describe how Chris
- 10:46Speaker 2: Wats's story was changing. That's a big red flag. And
- 10:51Speaker 2: then of course it culminates here.
- 10:55Speaker 7: We have been able to recover a body that we're
- 10:58Speaker 7: quite certain is she in Wat's body. We have strong
- 11:04Speaker 7: reason to believe that we know where the bodies of
- 11:07Speaker 7: the children are, and recovery efforts are in process on
- 11:10Speaker 7: that that's.
- 11:10Speaker 2: Where our friends at ABC eleven. Her body recovered and
- 11:15Speaker 2: recovered in a horrible way. Pregnant Shenan was found buried
- 11:21Speaker 2: in a shallow grave. I told you earlier that she
- 11:27Speaker 2: then baby Nico was born by coffin birth. Her body
- 11:32Speaker 2: expelled her only son. She had Bella and Celest, her
- 11:37Speaker 2: two little girls. Not far from that shallow grave. Bella
- 11:43Speaker 2: and Celeste. These two babies were found forced, their bodies
- 11:47Speaker 2: forced into oil drums, long cylindrical drums, and their bodies
- 11:57Speaker 2: decomposed in that at liquid not far from where mommy
- 12:04Speaker 2: was buried. Now, of course, Watts was then questioned listen
- 12:09Speaker 2: to what he had to say and watch his demeanor.
- 12:11Speaker 12: You have to trust me that when I tell you
- 12:13Speaker 12: that these two beautiful girls right here, I did nothing
- 12:18Speaker 12: to them, And to my beautiful wife, I did nothing
- 12:20Speaker 12: to her, like you have to trust me and believe me.
- 12:24Speaker 12: Like I know, you don't know me as a person.
- 12:26Speaker 12: You know me for like two and a half three hours,
- 12:29Speaker 12: and I don't know what your opinion is, but you
- 12:32Speaker 12: have to realize that these two beautiful girls right here
- 12:34Speaker 12: and my wife I had nothing to do with the disappearance,
- 12:38Speaker 12: like they vanished they were taken. Someone has taken them.
- 12:42Speaker 12: They're safe somewhere, we don't know. I had nothing to
- 12:45Speaker 12: do with these with this act of an evil, cruel
- 12:49Speaker 12: que whatever has happened here, because my love for these
- 12:52Speaker 12: two girls and my wife, like, I don't want anything
- 12:56Speaker 12: to happen to them. I've never wanted anything to happen
- 12:59Speaker 12: to them. Like I need them. I want them just
- 13:02Speaker 12: to run through that front door and just grab me
- 13:05Speaker 12: or just barrel, just tackle me, knocked me to the floor,
- 13:07Speaker 12: bust my head. I don't care. The amount of love
- 13:12Speaker 12: I have for my family is actually gonna it's never
- 13:15Speaker 12: gonna die.
- 13:16Speaker 4: And they need I want them back.
- 13:20Speaker 12: I have to have them back.
- 13:22Speaker 2: Mm hmmmm.
- 13:25Speaker 8: Listen, I don't think.
- 13:27Speaker 13: Anything that could happen about the thing, I'd ever do it,
- 13:29Speaker 13: but I did, you know, keep coming.
- 13:34Speaker 12: And she excuse me of it as any I had
- 13:40Speaker 12: shed on her as horrible for it, like she was
- 13:43Speaker 12: pregnant and it was.
- 13:48Speaker 13: I don't want to.
- 13:52Speaker 8: I didn't her, I did.

- 14:17Speaker 12: You never her?
- 14:22Speaker 8: Did they leave you after that?

- 14:33Speaker 2: Oh my stars, not only does he murder her, he
- 14:37Speaker 2: then blames her that.
- 14:39Speaker 1: She is the bad person.
- 14:42Speaker 2: There's a tiny bit more listen, and then what happened.
- 14:48Speaker 12: I looked at her and I just can't talk her
- 14:52Speaker 12: if you don't know. So she now do the same thing, okay, to.

- 16:22Speaker 2: Joining me right now is a very special guest that
- 16:25Speaker 2: I've wanted to speak to again for a very long time.
- 16:28Speaker 2: Cherylynn Catle, the author of the Murders of Christopher Watts
- 16:33Speaker 2: and The Many Faces of Christopher Watts, a five year update, Cherylynne,
- 16:39Speaker 2: thank you for being with us. What led you to
- 16:44Speaker 2: speak to Chris Watts?
- 16:48Speaker 4: Well, just as you saw him on the front porch
- 16:52Speaker 4: that morning, it seemed more like he was trying to
- 16:56Speaker 4: not laugh. And I told my there's a lot here
- 17:02Speaker 4: to uncover, and I'm going to write this man, and
- 17:05Speaker 4: I want to write a book about him. I felt
- 17:07Speaker 4: very led to do so. I just felt like it
- 17:10Speaker 4: was meant to be, and so I did write him,
- 17:14Speaker 4: and he responded and accepted my proposal to write a book.
- 17:20Speaker 2: Wow, I've never been interested in hearing what he had
- 17:27Speaker 2: to say. But I'm curious the way I would be curious,
- 17:32Speaker 2: like looking at a spider under a glass case. I'm
- 17:37Speaker 2: curious in that way, like when you go to the
- 17:39Speaker 2: snakehouse at the zoo. So I'm very curious what Chris
- 17:46Speaker 2: Watts had to say. Tell me everything start at the beginning, Well.
- 17:51Speaker 4: At the very beginning. Was he wanted to clear his
- 17:55Speaker 4: wife's name, so he was willing to speak with me.
- 18:01Speaker 4: He invited me to come to the prison. Actually, his
- 18:04Speaker 4: mother was very much pushing for it, and I think
- 18:08Speaker 4: it's because they thought they could control the narrative of
- 18:12Speaker 4: a grandmother that they thought was someone that they could control,
- 18:18Speaker 4: that he could control. So I went to the prison
- 18:21Speaker 4: and I sat with him the first day for five
- 18:23Speaker 4: hours as he poured out everything that had happened, but
- 18:31Speaker 4: telling me there was some things that he couldn't tell
- 18:33Speaker 4: me face to face, but he would write them to
- 18:35Speaker 4: me in a letter.
- 18:43Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.
- 18:49Speaker 2: Chris Watts guilty plea maybe closed the criminal investigation, But
- 18:55Speaker 2: for Shananne Watts's family, her murder morphed into years of
- 19:01Speaker 2: relentless online hate defamation vitrio. It's horrendous. The family says
- 19:10Speaker 2: they endeared wave after wave of online harassment, cruel and relenting,
- 19:17Speaker 2: fueled by trolls spouting true crime conspiracy theories. But let's
- 19:23Speaker 2: look at the actual facts. What really happened to Shenan
- 19:29Speaker 2: Bella and Celeste.
- 19:30Speaker 4: This is a man who wants people to think that
- 19:33Speaker 4: he is the good boy next door. That's the way
- 19:37Speaker 4: he came off to everyone and he's a monster, absolutely
- 19:42Speaker 4: a monster in sheep's clothing when you go. When I
- 19:46Speaker 4: went to the prison to meet with him, he just
- 19:49Speaker 4: acted like the nicest guy and would hang his head,
- 19:54Speaker 4: not looking straight in the eye. I could tell him,
- 19:56Speaker 4: it's very ashamed. At one point I said, Christopher, look
- 20:00Speaker 4: at me. Stop looking down. Look at me when you
- 20:04Speaker 4: talk to me. I want you to look at me. Well,
- 20:07Speaker 4: he was lying so much, I realized later, because he
- 20:12Speaker 4: was blaming what he did on other things.
- 20:17Speaker 12: So we.
- 20:19Speaker 4: From there. He started writing me letters, mini letters, twelve
- 20:24Speaker 4: page letters, and he one of the things he was
- 20:28Speaker 4: trying to hide is the morning that he killed Shenan,
- 20:36Speaker 4: he the girls were still alive. As he was rolling
- 20:43Speaker 4: Shenan off of the bed and wrapping her in a sheet,
- 20:47Speaker 4: Bella walked in the bedroom and said, what's wrong with mommy?
- 20:53Speaker 4: What's happened? And he told her that mommy was sick
- 20:58Speaker 4: and they were going to take her to the hospital.
- 21:01Speaker 4: But he was mortified that that child woke up. As
- 21:05Speaker 4: he put it, not far behind her was cec cec
- 21:10Speaker 4: was stumbling. My opinion, she may have had a little
- 21:14Speaker 4: bit of brain damage from where they he had smothered
- 21:19Speaker 4: them and thought that he had completed the job. It
- 21:22Speaker 4: takes more than a couple of minutes to do that,
- 21:25Speaker 4: and I think he stopped too soon.
- 21:27Speaker 2: Wow.
- 21:28Speaker 4: One of the most horrible things that can be imagined
- 21:31Speaker 4: is he put those two baby girls in the back
- 21:34Speaker 4: seat of his truck, Bella asking why they weren't in
- 21:39Speaker 4: a car seat or a seat belt, and him telling
- 21:41Speaker 4: them it was okay, It'd be okay this time. He
- 21:46Speaker 4: laid Shenan across the bottom of the floorboard of that
- 21:50Speaker 4: truck under the girl's feet, and the girls kept saying,
- 21:55Speaker 4: something stinks, daddy, something smells. What's what's wrong with mommy.
- 22:03Speaker 4: He took them to the oil field, where he had
- 22:07Speaker 4: them wait while he rolled Shenan out onto the ground.
- 22:16Speaker 4: He pulled her over away from the truck, and he
- 22:20Speaker 4: buried her where those baby girls could watch. If you
- 22:26Speaker 4: can even imagine, As he rolled Shanan over, he noticed
- 22:31Speaker 4: that Nico had been born, and he was like amazed
- 22:38Speaker 4: at what had just happened. He went back to the truck.
- 22:43Speaker 4: He smothered Ceci, he said, first, and then he smothered
- 22:51Speaker 4: Bella well. First when he smelled, when he smothered Ceci,
- 22:56Speaker 4: he said, he took her up to the oil battery
- 23:00Speaker 4: and put her in. But he put her in an
- 23:03Speaker 4: eight inch hole. Now, if you think of ordering an
- 23:08Speaker 4: individual pizza, it's about eight inches around. And he put
- 23:13Speaker 4: her in this eight inch hole and he had to
- 23:15Speaker 4: stomp her in. He couldn't just drop her in. He
- 23:21Speaker 4: had to stomp her in, and he heard the splash
- 23:25Speaker 4: as her body hit the oil. Then he went back
- 23:31Speaker 4: to the truck and Ceci said, Daddy, you're not going
- 23:34Speaker 4: to do the same thing to me that you did
- 23:36Speaker 4: to Bella, are you. But he took that child and
- 23:41Speaker 4: he put a blanket over her head, and he smothered her,
- 23:44Speaker 4: and she fought him. She may have only been four,
- 23:48Speaker 4: but that child fought him with everything she had. And
- 23:53Speaker 4: it has still made me wonder to this day if
- 23:57Speaker 4: CC made, or I'm sorry, if Bella made, have been
- 24:00Speaker 4: alive when he dropped her in that oil battery, because
- 24:05Speaker 4: she had tearing in her mouth, she had bruises. It
- 24:14Speaker 4: kept me awake at night, Nancy. It is the most
- 24:18Speaker 4: horrible thing of thinking of what he could have possibly
- 24:22Speaker 4: done to his own flesh and blood, and the reasons
- 24:27Speaker 4: why he did it are even more horrible, and he
- 24:33Speaker 4: pulled away listening to a song by Metallica, and.
- 24:40Speaker 2: I just okay, wait a minute, wait a minute, Sherlyn Catle.
- 24:45Speaker 2: He pulled away, I mean drove away in his car
- 24:50Speaker 2: listening to Metallica. Yes, what was his demeanor as he's
- 24:57Speaker 2: telling you this? Or was this in the letters?
- 25:01Speaker 4: Someone was in the letters and some was in person.
- 25:05Speaker 4: In person, he could not tell me that they woke
- 25:09Speaker 4: back up, but he said in the letters that, you know,
- 25:15Speaker 4: he didn't know what else to do with their bodies
- 25:17Speaker 4: at that point. He was afraid they were going to
- 25:19Speaker 4: wake back up again. He thought, according to him, that
- 25:23Speaker 4: it was a spiritual thing that he that they woke
- 25:27Speaker 4: back up and he had to kill them the second time.
- 25:30Speaker 4: He did not look at it as he just humbled
- 25:35Speaker 4: the murder the first time, So he was afraid they
- 25:38Speaker 4: would wake back.
- 25:39Speaker 2: I don't understand that. How did he think them reviving
- 25:44Speaker 2: was a quote spiritual thing, demonic? I mean, what is
- 25:49Speaker 2: he talking about?
- 25:50Speaker 4: Yeah, he thought it was. He thought he thought that
- 25:54Speaker 4: there was some sort of a darkness over him that
- 25:58Speaker 4: made him kill Chin and the girls, something that he
- 26:02Speaker 4: had been dealing with for a couple of weeks when
- 26:05Speaker 4: In fact, those couple of weeks were his planning stage.
- 26:09Speaker 4: He would dream daydream about how he was going to
- 26:14Speaker 4: kill them. He knew the night that he put those
- 26:18Speaker 4: girls to bed, he says in a letter to me,
- 26:21Speaker 4: I knew that was the last night I would be
- 26:24Speaker 4: tucking my babies in. He knew they would never wake
- 26:28Speaker 4: up again. And Carrie on another day and so he
- 26:34Speaker 4: waited christian An to waylay her. He surprised her with
- 26:39Speaker 4: the way that he treated her. He had sex with
- 26:42Speaker 4: her before he murdered her.
- 26:45Speaker 2: When he's talking to you and divulging these details, what
- 26:51Speaker 2: is his demeanor?
- 26:54Speaker 4: Uh, he didn't want to look at me. He was
- 26:58Speaker 4: acting and want to I want to emphasize acting that
- 27:03Speaker 4: he was remorseful, telling me about how he's having nightmares
- 27:11Speaker 4: in prison, how Cecy is visiting him in prison. And
- 27:15Speaker 4: he thought that she knocked off some papers off of
- 27:19Speaker 4: a table right next to him, and he jumped because
- 27:22Speaker 4: he was afraid she was going to the table was
- 27:25Speaker 4: going to fall on top.
- 27:26Speaker 1: Of her and hurt her.
- 27:28Speaker 4: Really, so his demeanor was as a concerned dad as
- 27:34Speaker 4: I'm you know, I can't believe I did what I did,
- 27:39Speaker 4: but it was so fake just like the porch. You know.
- 27:44Speaker 2: I find all of this so hypocritical. I mean, he's
- 27:50Speaker 2: got the children's pictures on his wall in his jail cell.
- 27:57Speaker 2: But he was a sane mind at the time he
- 28:01Speaker 2: murdered them. In fact, isn't it true, Sherilyn Catle that
- 28:07Speaker 2: he murdered Shenan and Bella and Celeste and baby Nico
- 28:12Speaker 2: because he wanted to be with another woman And the
- 28:15Speaker 2: entire time Shenan was visiting her family in North Carolina,
- 28:20Speaker 2: he used that opportunity to hit on a coworker.
- 28:25Speaker 4: Exactly, and they had a six week affair up to
- 28:29Speaker 4: the date that Shenan came home, and he didn't want
- 28:33Speaker 4: to let go of her. He didn't want to go
- 28:36Speaker 4: back to his real life and give up his girlfriend.
- 28:40Speaker 4: But now after murdering his family and being found guilty
- 28:46Speaker 4: of everything, and he admitted to it, he then turned
- 28:52Speaker 4: to blame his girlfriend, that she was dark and somehow
- 28:56Speaker 4: she transferred this evil dark spirit onto him which made
- 29:02Speaker 4: him kill his family. Just another way of blaming. And
- 29:08Speaker 4: one thing I wanted to say, because we see him
- 29:11Speaker 4: so fidgety and everything on the videos with the neighbor's
- 29:17Speaker 4: house and talking to the police. He told me he
- 29:21Speaker 4: never considered, never gave one thought that he would ever
- 29:25Speaker 4: be fought. He thought he was so smart that he
- 29:30Speaker 4: could literally pull this off and never be caught, and
- 29:34Speaker 4: he could go off and have his life with his
- 29:37Speaker 4: girlfriend and everything would just be wonderful. Yeah, that's a monster.
- 29:45Speaker 4: That's a real monster.
- 29:47Speaker 2: When he would talk to you, Sherlynn, what was your
- 29:50Speaker 2: impression of him? Because I find that really not only interesting,
- 29:56Speaker 2: like I said, studying a rattlesnake, but I find it probative.
- 30:01Speaker 2: In other words, it proved something to me that he
- 30:04Speaker 2: was so arrogant that he believed he would never be caught,
- 30:08Speaker 2: that he can manipulate everyone, the girlfriend and well the
- 30:13Speaker 2: many girlfriends he had, his wife, his children, his own family,
- 30:18Speaker 2: the justice system, his coworkers. I mean, he's been hooking
- 30:22Speaker 2: up with women for one night stance forever, right right.
- 30:29Speaker 4: I mean, Christopher is good looking, or he was at
- 30:32Speaker 4: one time he was good looking. I believe that this
- 30:35Speaker 4: crime has eaten him. He's not as good looking as
- 30:38Speaker 4: he used to be, but he he's a good looking
- 30:41Speaker 4: man and he comes across very sweet. He was very
- 30:48Speaker 4: gallants and the way he even treated me, he was
- 30:51Speaker 4: very kind. He wanted me to just feel that he
- 30:56Speaker 4: was the good boy next door, and he took on
- 31:01Speaker 4: a role with me, almost as that I was a
- 31:05Speaker 4: mother figure to him. And he would tell me that
- 31:09Speaker 4: because I mean, I went into it at sixty years old.
- 31:12Speaker 4: I had no intentions of any kind of a romance,
- 31:15Speaker 4: and I made that upfront in my letter. That's not
- 31:18Speaker 4: what my letter was about. And I find it interesting
- 31:24Speaker 4: that he has a lot of issues from growing up
- 31:31Speaker 4: that he may think is okay. But I would be
- 31:35Speaker 4: very concerned if my son had those kinds of issues.
- 31:39Speaker 9: And I think that it was what kind of issues, Well,
- 31:42Speaker 9: he had a he would go into the bathroom at home,
- 31:46Speaker 9: and his mother told me this. He would go into
- 31:49Speaker 9: the bathroom at home.
- 31:50Speaker 4: And she would hear him crying and saying, Oh God,
- 31:53Speaker 4: please forgive me, Please forgive me, Please forgive me for
- 31:56Speaker 4: what I did. Please forgive me. She said that she
- 31:59Speaker 4: would ask him about that, and he wouldn't answer her,
- 32:04Speaker 4: and so she decided to leave him alone because she
- 32:08Speaker 4: felt like he had his right to moments of privacy.
- 32:14Speaker 4: Well that is far beyond privacy. That was sick. Something
- 32:19Speaker 4: had happened. Something a twelve year old.
- 32:21Speaker 2: Boy Oh, no, so much that something happened or that
- 32:24Speaker 2: he did something sounds to me that did something that
- 32:28Speaker 2: he was to be forgiven.
- 32:31Speaker 4: Yes, yes, absolutely, and so he would do things like that.
- 32:35Speaker 4: And he was very much a kind of a loaner.
- 32:39Speaker 4: He did have a friend that he grew up with
- 32:41Speaker 4: that lived close by to them or next door or something.
- 32:45Speaker 4: But I think there was a lot of dark things
- 32:49Speaker 4: in his childhood that he did. And I don't think
- 32:51Speaker 4: it was killing the cat down the street. I think
- 32:53Speaker 4: there was some things that he did. He told me
- 32:57Speaker 4: once in the jail that there was some things he
- 33:01Speaker 4: would take to his grave that he would never talk about.
- 33:06Speaker 2: One of those things, well, hold on my head, just
- 33:09Speaker 2: boy off, let me attach it. He's murdered his pregnant wife,
- 33:15Speaker 2: the unborn baby, his two daughters, Bella and Celeste. But
- 33:19Speaker 2: there's something so bad he won't tell you.
- 33:22Speaker 4: Yeah, So that was one of those things happened. During
- 33:26Speaker 4: the surrounding the murders, I would question him about different things.
- 33:33Speaker 4: I think the thing that he wouldn't talk about that
- 33:38Speaker 4: he was going to take to his grave, I think
- 33:40Speaker 4: it had to do with the fact that he gave
- 33:42Speaker 4: Shenan a heavy dose of oxycodone when he had met
- 33:50Speaker 4: up with her at her family's house in South Carolina.
- 33:57Speaker 4: They he spent the night at the house there with
- 34:02Speaker 4: the family, and he so wanted to get rid of
- 34:07Speaker 4: the unborn baby that he gave Shenan. He made her
- 34:11Speaker 4: a shake and he put oxycodone in that shape, thinking
- 34:17Speaker 4: that it would cause her to miss carry. The poor
- 34:20Speaker 4: girl drank it unaware of what he was doing to her,
- 34:26Speaker 4: and it made her very violently ill. She threw up
- 34:29Speaker 4: all night. He couldn't even console her. He allowed her
- 34:34Speaker 4: to literally sleep in the bathroom with her head on
- 34:37Speaker 4: the toilet, vomiting and sick. Her brother had to come
- 34:41Speaker 4: in and help console her. She was so sick, but
- 34:44Speaker 4: she did not lose her baby. I believe that one
- 34:48Speaker 4: of the things that he will take to his grave
- 34:50Speaker 4: with him is who gave him that oxycodone. He wouldn't
- 34:57Speaker 4: tell me this.
- 35:00Speaker 2: Disagree, and I admit that you're the expert because you've
- 35:05Speaker 2: had all these conversations with him. But he would sell
- 35:09Speaker 2: anybody down the river. He's now blaming Shenan. She was
- 35:12Speaker 2: the problem. She was a control freak. He's blaming the girlfriend.
- 35:15Speaker 2: It's all her fault. She was a quote dark Spirit
- 35:18Speaker 2: like Coltman, Laurie Valos said, he blames everybody else for everything.
- 35:22Speaker 2: I think it's something much worse than who gave him
- 35:26Speaker 2: the OxyContin that he slipped into her drink to kill
- 35:29Speaker 2: the baby and maybe her. I don't think that's it.
- 35:32Speaker 2: He would sell out anybody and their mother. I think
- 35:35Speaker 2: it's something worse than that. Something he did to Shenan
- 35:40Speaker 2: or the girls, or to their bodies, something that's so
- 35:44Speaker 2: horrible he won't confess it.
- 35:48Speaker 1: Now.
- 35:49Speaker 2: Minds follow that through to its logical conclusion, right right.
- 35:54Speaker 4: And I have wondered if the girls were alive when
- 35:58Speaker 4: they hit that water. That has been because it's he
- 36:02Speaker 4: was a time crunch getting out of there. You know,
- 36:07Speaker 4: he had to appear like everything was okay at work
- 36:11Speaker 4: at eight o'clock, and so it took time to smother
- 36:14Speaker 4: those girls. It took time to walk them up those
- 36:20Speaker 4: battery steps. If you've seen a picture of them, they're huge,
- 36:25Speaker 4: They're huge, They're tall up in the air. So were
- 36:30Speaker 4: they alive?
- 36:30Speaker 2: So he had sex with Shenan right before he killed her.
- 36:37Speaker 2: I wonder if rape kits were done on Bella and Celeste.
- 36:41Speaker 2: I wonder if he let me just say ephemistically tampered
- 36:46Speaker 2: with Shanan's body post mortem. Whatever it is has got
- 36:50Speaker 2: to be something that's so horrible he can't bring himself
- 36:55Speaker 2: to state it. I don't know what could be more
- 36:58Speaker 2: horrible than we already know he did what he's confessed
- 37:02Speaker 2: to question, how is he twisting this around and making
- 37:08Speaker 2: this all Sheanan's fault.
- 37:12Speaker 4: Shanan was an accomplished woman in her own rights. She
- 37:17Speaker 4: sold a company, Thrive, that she worked for, and she
- 37:22Speaker 4: was very successful. They gave her a car allowance for
- 37:29Speaker 4: a new Lexus. When she would go to the large
- 37:34Speaker 4: campaigns that they have every year she won awards. She
- 37:38Speaker 4: had something like four hundred thousand people under her. She
- 37:43Speaker 4: was very accomplished woman and she liked to spend money.
- 37:47Speaker 4: She liked to impress. They lived in a huge home.
- 37:52Speaker 4: She made him look very little in his eyes, he
- 37:58Speaker 4: felt like she made him look little. He told me
- 38:02Speaker 4: that she would.
- 38:04Speaker 2: What how how does her working her fingers to the
- 38:09Speaker 2: bone and creating this beautiful home that she artfully designed.
- 38:13Speaker 2: I've looked at every room that she designed, she painted,
- 38:18Speaker 2: she furnished. Now, how does she makes the money she
- 38:22Speaker 2: brings home? The money she takes care of the children,
- 38:25Speaker 2: She designs the home, she cleans the home. What how
- 38:30Speaker 2: does she make him look small? I thought you could
- 38:33Speaker 2: only do that all on your own.
- 38:36Speaker 4: That's only in his eyes, not in I don't believe
- 38:41Speaker 4: she Nan felt that way about him. I don't I
- 38:44Speaker 4: know for fact, and laws did not feel that way
- 38:47Speaker 4: about him. But he had to have some way to
- 38:49Speaker 4: blame all this. See, they went on trips. That shows
- 38:52Speaker 4: right here you're looking at them at a beach. That
- 38:55Speaker 4: trip was furnished by her, by her company that she
- 38:58Speaker 4: worked for. She earned those things, and he had a job,
- 39:02Speaker 4: a decent job, but he only made sixty thousand a year,
- 39:06Speaker 4: teaming twice what he made, and he felt belittled, he said,
- 39:12Speaker 4: by her.
- 39:13Speaker 2: She was very flading her money. Did he nobody, I know,
- 39:19Speaker 2: pay for all those motels he's shacked up in.
- 39:21Speaker 4: Yeah, so all the dinners he took his girlfriend to
- 39:24Speaker 4: and the gifts that he bought her, that's right, yes.
- 39:29Speaker 4: And so Sanan was, like you said, working her fingers
- 39:32Speaker 4: to the bone. The girl worked day and night to
- 39:36Speaker 4: do what she accomplished. And yet he would say that
- 39:42Speaker 4: she was just you know, just onto him all the time,
- 39:46Speaker 4: and you know, just whatever he could use to blame
- 39:48Speaker 4: her forever.
- 39:49Speaker 2: Yeah, because she probably knew he was cheating, or at
- 39:51Speaker 2: least suspected. Well, I think can't have a house that
- 39:55Speaker 2: beautiful that you design and you keep nat as a pen.
- 40:00Speaker 1: And not look at your.
- 40:01Speaker 2: Husband's credit cards when he doesn't show up for supper?
- 40:05Speaker 4: Right right?
- 40:07Speaker 2: Isn't that why we all have life? Three sixty?
- 40:10Speaker 4: Yes? Right? Yeah? No, No, she was blindsighted in the beginning.
- 40:15Speaker 4: I believe she trusted him because she was so busy.
- 40:19Speaker 4: I don't think she had time to follow him around
- 40:23Speaker 4: and see what he was doing, and so in the beginning,
- 40:26Speaker 4: I think she was very trusting.
- 40:32Speaker 1: Crime stories with Nancy Grace.
- 40:38Speaker 2: Shanana's dad quote, I never saw so much evil in
- 40:42Speaker 2: this world towards us and toward other victims. Even though
- 40:47Speaker 2: Watts was sentenced to life without parole for murdering his
- 40:51Speaker 2: wife and their daughters and their unborn son, that didn't
- 40:55Speaker 2: seem to satisfy the online haters who still blamed Shenan
- 41:00Speaker 2: and her family. It is insane distorting Shenan's life. Who
- 41:06Speaker 2: she is suggesting her family was somehow involved in the killings,
- 41:10Speaker 2: But this is what really happened. I'm just thinking about her,
- 41:15Speaker 2: and I admire her. Well, she's beautiful, and she always
- 41:21Speaker 2: is so put together, and she's trying so hard to
- 41:25Speaker 2: get that Hallmark family and home and keep it perfect
- 41:31Speaker 2: and beautiful, and she has to wonder, what's wrong with me?
- 41:38Speaker 2: Why is he not coming home at night? Why is
- 41:41Speaker 2: he at the dew drop in motel? I mean, she
- 41:47Speaker 2: had to be suspicious, and that probably manifested by her
- 41:52Speaker 2: being quote on him like what are you doing?
- 41:55Speaker 1: Where have you been?
- 41:56Speaker 2: And I'm sure he resented that. But this beautiful woman
- 42:00Speaker 2: on the end, not her, I'm talking about san An.
- 42:04Speaker 2: That's one of his many, many girlfriends. Her Sanan. She
- 42:10Speaker 2: was always feeling like she was overweight, like she wasn't
- 42:14Speaker 2: pretty enough, like she wasn't exciting and funny and witty
- 42:18Speaker 2: and blah blah blah, felling the blank because of him.
- 42:23Speaker 4: Right right. He didn't do anything to feed her ego,
- 42:27Speaker 4: but he wanted his fed well, and he went to
- 42:30Speaker 4: the gym and he lost weight and he buffed up.
- 42:33Speaker 4: And she had to have known something's going on here
- 42:37Speaker 4: because she was a smart girl. She was just you know,
- 42:41Speaker 4: she wasn't stupid by any means. And so I mean
- 42:45Speaker 4: we all have things about us that we we wish
- 42:48Speaker 4: we looked different, or we were way less wrong with men.
- 42:52Speaker 2: I don't get it. I just he did get it.
- 42:55Speaker 2: Of course. I guess you could say the same thing
- 42:57Speaker 2: about some women. But they've got it all. If you
- 43:00Speaker 2: can't be happy with her and the beautiful girls and
- 43:04Speaker 2: the baby boy, and the picture perfect home and the
- 43:07Speaker 2: perfect neighborhood, what I mean, what does it take.
- 43:10Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 43:12Speaker 2: I don't know what.
- 43:13Speaker 1: Does it take. That's everybody's dream.
- 43:17Speaker 2: But listen to this. This I'm quoting from Sherilyn Catle's book.
- 43:21Speaker 2: Now she's got two of them. I know, if Nikki
- 43:25Speaker 2: and I were going to be together, I had to
- 43:27Speaker 2: kill all of them. That's a quote from the murders
- 43:31Speaker 2: of Christopher Watts. It was all to be with another woman.
- 43:36Speaker 2: Hadn't he ever heard of divorce?
- 43:38Speaker 14: Yes?
- 43:39Speaker 4: Think of that. And the other woman. I don't know
- 43:42Speaker 4: anything about her, but Shenann was, in my opinion, far
- 43:49Speaker 4: more what he should want. I mean, he built a
- 43:52Speaker 4: life as.
- 43:53Speaker 2: The people always cheat down. Yeah, yeah, cheat down down.
- 43:59Speaker 4: That's a good one, yes, definitely. I mean, look at Shanian,
- 44:02Speaker 4: she's beautiful, she's laughing, she's She's got a wonderful personality.
- 44:08Speaker 4: She treated people so well. People loved her. She had
- 44:12Speaker 4: a huge group of friends. I don't understand at all.
- 44:19Speaker 4: I don't understand why he would not be happy with
- 44:23Speaker 4: what he had.
- 44:24Speaker 2: He tries to blame it on anger, that I was
- 44:28Speaker 2: so angry I would have killed anything Like anger is
- 44:32Speaker 2: some type of a beast that did the date.
- 44:35Speaker 1: It was him that did the day.
- 44:37Speaker 2: Did he ever shed a tear?
- 44:40Speaker 4: Never? Never did he shed a tear. And here's another thing,
- 44:44Speaker 4: And I asked him about this point blank, because I said,
- 44:49Speaker 4: it seems like that this monster in you, that whatever
- 44:53Speaker 4: it was, that you were having to go to the
- 44:55Speaker 4: bathroom and pray for forgiveness. And this didn't happen just once.
- 44:58Speaker 4: This is something that happened on a kind of a
- 45:01Speaker 4: regular basis that his mother could hear him as a child.
- 45:05Speaker 4: I said, it seems to me like there was a
- 45:07Speaker 4: monster inside of you and it was boiling and boiling
- 45:10Speaker 4: and it had to come out. And that's why you
- 45:15Speaker 4: killed Shanan is because that monster just had to come out.
- 45:18Speaker 4: I don't know what you think of that, but it's
- 45:20Speaker 4: like something in there and it wasn't caused by Shananne,
- 45:24Speaker 4: that monster inside of him.
- 45:26Speaker 2: You know you mentioned that when he left the disposal, saying,
- 45:31Speaker 2: which is a really ephemistic way to put what he
- 45:34Speaker 2: did to Bella and Celeste, Sheanane and Nico, that he
- 45:40Speaker 2: was playing Metallica. What he was playing was a Metallica song, Battery, Battery,
- 45:47Speaker 2: and some of the lyrics are pounding out. Aggression turns
- 45:52Speaker 2: into obsession. Cannot kill the battery, cannot kill the family.
- 46:00Speaker 2: That's he knew exactly what he was doing, and the
- 46:07Speaker 2: motive was to be with another woman who would probably
- 46:11Speaker 2: start cheating on the moment he could. Yes, Yeah, What
- 46:15Speaker 2: is your takeaway of Chris Watts? And the books are amazing,
- 46:20Speaker 2: The Murders of Christopher Watts and the many faces of
- 46:23Speaker 2: Christopher Watts a five year update. What's your takeaway that
- 46:27Speaker 2: you can give us.
- 46:30Speaker 4: All these women that are at that are writing to
- 46:34Speaker 4: him and sending him love letters and sending him money
- 46:40Speaker 4: through the mail that has overloaded his commissary. My takeaway
- 46:47Speaker 4: is that there's something in him that he thinks he
- 46:50Speaker 4: can just woom any woman, and woman beware because let
- 46:56Speaker 4: me tell you, anyone that has that personality I would
- 47:02Speaker 4: definitely be very careful of I don't think that there
- 47:06Speaker 4: is a man or a woman alive that is willing
- 47:10Speaker 4: to kiss your feet that much, to woo you that much,
- 47:13Speaker 4: and not just be himself. But these women, they want
- 47:20Speaker 4: to marry him, they want to support him, they want
- 47:23Speaker 4: to visit with him, they want to talk to him
- 47:25Speaker 4: on the phone. Oh my gosh. My takeaway is just
- 47:29Speaker 4: beware women, beware.
- 47:33Speaker 2: You know you mentioned that he was good looking. I
- 47:36Speaker 2: have never once found him good looking, even before I
- 47:40Speaker 2: need for sure he murdered s Nan because he doesn't
- 47:43Speaker 2: have a kind face.
- 47:46Speaker 4: You know.
- 47:47Speaker 2: Now, why am I seeing him without a shirt on?
- 47:50Speaker 1: Why are you.
- 47:51Speaker 2: Doing that to me? I don't want to see his body.
- 47:55Speaker 2: He's guck. You know what control room.
- 47:58Speaker 4: Showing me that?
- 47:59Speaker 2: You might as well show me a picture of a
- 48:01Speaker 2: coral snake or uh anaconda or a poisonous spider. That's
- 48:08Speaker 2: how I view him. I've never want saying a kind
- 48:14Speaker 2: look in his eyes. I mean, he may smile, but
- 48:18Speaker 2: there's something cold in his eyes. You know, when my
- 48:21Speaker 2: husband smiles, his eyes smile too, yes, and I espe
- 48:25Speaker 2: like my dad and my mom their eyes smile.
- 48:28Speaker 1: His eyes always look cold to me.
- 48:31Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean, there's so many women think that
- 48:34Speaker 4: he's good looking, to the points that all these women
- 48:36Speaker 4: that have written him Nancy, they send him money in
- 48:40Speaker 4: the mail. He has a fan club. It's unbelievable, the
- 48:45Speaker 4: fan clubs that he has. And the people that believe
- 48:49Speaker 4: that he didn't really do this or it was more
- 48:52Speaker 4: caused by Shenandy.
- 48:54Speaker 1: They confessed, and people still believe he didn't do it.
- 48:57Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes, people still believe he did not do it.
- 49:03Speaker 2: What an artful deceiver he is, you know, that's what
- 49:07Speaker 2: the devil is often called, the deceiver. Yeah, the deceiver, that's.
- 49:12Speaker 12: What he is.
- 49:13Speaker 2: Shanan's dad says, the hate has got to stop. The
- 49:17Speaker 2: family had nothing to do with it, but losing a
- 49:19Speaker 2: loved one or in my case it was four, referring
- 49:24Speaker 2: to Shenan, Bella, Celeste, and baby Nico. I'll never forget
- 49:30Speaker 2: Chris Watt's stating quote, my kids are my life. I mean,
- 49:34Speaker 2: those smiles light up my life. When I came home
- 49:37Speaker 2: then walked in the house, nothing vanished, nothing was there. Yeah,
- 49:40Speaker 2: because you killed them. But now online and beyond, haters
- 49:44Speaker 2: insists Shenan and her family are responsible. Nothing could be
- 49:48Speaker 2: further from the truth. Can they ever be brought to justice,
- 49:52Speaker 2: maybe with a lawsuit for intentional infliction of emotional distress.
- 49:57Speaker 1: I'm all for it.
- 50:00Speaker 2: We wait as justice sun falls. Nancy Grace Crime Stories,
