00:00Oh, Chris, I was going through a really, really bad phase and I got a friend request from Chris on Facebook and I thought, oh well, I'll never meet him anyway.
00:11Eight years later, we have two children, we live in Colorado, and he is the best thing that ever happened to me.
00:20There's no way to explain what an incredible person he is.
00:23The disappearance of a pregnant woman and her two daughters has drawn national attention.
00:31It's a brutal tragedy that made headlines.
00:35Shanann was a devoted wife and mother to her two daughters, but she met a horrific end.
00:41There has been no news of Chris Watts' family.
00:45Shanann, Bella, Celeste, if you're there, come back home.
00:49It seemed like he was saying the right things, but everyone noticed his cold attitude.
00:56Chris Watts had secrets and thought people would never find out.
01:01In today's program, we will show the details of this terrible investigation.
01:07Where are Shanann and the girls?
01:10Are they in tanks?
01:12How can someone do that to their own children?
01:15Follow the transformation of a family man into a monster.
01:19I woke up to the fact that he knew what was going to happen and I had no control over it.
01:24What we see is a dichotomy of personalities.
01:27Who is the real Chris Watts?
01:29What we see is a dichotomy of a family man into ...
01:59A bright future.
02:00Mysterious Crimes. The Denver Monster.
02:17It was the morning of August 13, 2018, a Monday.
02:21Nicole Atkinson, a mother from Colorado, was very worried.
02:25She was unable to get in touch with her best friend, Shanann Watts, 34.
02:32Nicole had texted and called, but received no response.
02:37She found it all very strange and immediately suspected that something was wrong.
02:44Nicole and Shanann considered themselves best friends.
02:48They were colleagues, they worked at the same company, selling the same product.
02:52From what is known, they shared everything in life with each other.
02:57The day before, the friends had been in Arizona on a business trip for the direct sales company Level.
03:05Shanann Watts was a cheerful and outgoing person, but on that business trip, her colleagues noticed that she seemed very tired.
03:12I didn't want to eat anything and it seemed like I didn't have the same energy as usual.
03:17She had a very serious health problem.
03:21I had lupus.
03:23Lupus is an autoimmune disease that causes pain in the joints and throughout the body.
03:29It affects a person's entire life.
03:32And she was also 15 weeks pregnant.
03:36Shanann and Chris, to whom she has been married for 6 years, are already parents to Bella, 4, and Cíceri, 3.
03:42And they are expecting a boy who will be named Nico.
03:47When Shanann and Nicole returned from their work trip, Nicole dropped Shanann off at home around 1:48 AM on the 13th.
03:57The next day, Nicole texted to see how she was doing.
04:01She knew that Shanann was exhausted from the trip and that she had a prenatal appointment with the obstetrician the following morning.
04:08Then Nicole texted to see how she was doing and how the appointment had gone.
04:12And received no reply.
04:15Nicole became nervous and worried about her friend.
04:18So he decided to stop by her house.
04:20And he saw that no one was answering.
04:24Shanann's car was still in the garage.
04:26And she couldn't get into the house.
04:28No sign of Shanann and her daughters,
04:31Nicole immediately calls Shanann's husband, Chris Watts.
04:35Chris worked in the oil industry.
04:38He was a supervisor and used to visit several wells during the day.
04:46He told Nicole that Shanann had gone out with the girls and that she shouldn't worry.
04:54Nicole said, "Look, something very strange is happening here, I'd better call the police."
04:59And he said, wait, I'm going home now.
05:01But Nicole didn't hesitate and called the police anyway.
05:06My name is Nicole and I'm calling because I'm worried about a friend.
05:10She's not opening the door, she's not answering messages or calls, and there's no movement at her house.
05:17At 1:42 p.m., police officer Scott Cunrod found Nicole and her son at the location to conduct a check.
05:25Officer Cunrod, from Frederick's department, couldn't simply break down the door.
05:50So, she did the same things Nicole had done.
05:52The police officer received no answers and did not hear from any children.
06:04So they waited for Mr. Watts to arrive.
06:09Ah, there he is.
06:11After two o'clock, Chris finally arrives home and greets Cunrod.
06:15I'm Scott, how are you?
06:16At that very moment, they began to find and identify things that Shanann wouldn't have left at home if she had gone out.
06:24They found her purse.
06:25Is that her bag?
06:25It's her purse.
06:26The medicines.
06:27She takes some medication.
06:30Her medication is here.
06:32They found her watch and her cell phone.
06:35And her suitcase was at home and it wasn't unpacked.
06:38And it was in the same condition as when I returned from the trip.
06:41So, the police go upstairs to look for any sign of Shanann and her daughters.
06:49The police officer with Rod noticed that the bed in Chris and Shanann's room was unmade.
06:54Everything was scattered on the floor.
06:55And they realized the fitted sheet wasn't there.
06:58I checked the sheets and the comforter and didn't see anything, but it's strange that the bed was empty.
07:04And then Chris handed over something very curious to the police.
07:09He said he had found it in his wife's nightstand.
07:12That she had left her wedding ring behind.
07:15There was no ticket or anything on the side of the ring?
07:17No.
07:18I put it back where it was.
07:20After investigating, the police realized that she had left important items at home.
07:25And that they needed to get more information from Chris.
07:29Did she say anything about leaving and moving away?
07:32He didn't say anything.
07:33Look, I spoke to her earlier today and she said she was going to take the girls to a friend's house and stay there.
07:41So I messaged her today and she didn't reply.
07:45But the car is here and the car seats are here.
07:48Unless someone came by to pick them up.
07:49But no one I know has heard anything about her.
07:55Everyone was very worried because Shanann disappeared without saying anything to anyone.
08:00This was not normal at all.
08:03Unless something very serious had happened.
08:06The police pressure Chris to get more details about the beginning of his relationship with Shanann.
08:13Shanann was the eldest daughter of Frank and Sandy Ruzak.
08:17She had a younger brother, Frank Jr.
08:20The four of them were a happy family.
08:23Shanann was a lively and outgoing woman.
08:26But then came a time when she began to feel unwell, with terrible migraines and other health problems.
08:33And she was diagnosed with lupus at age 26.
08:37I felt a lot of discomfort, I felt a lot of pain, I felt very moody.
08:44And at one point I gave up on everything.
08:50I quit my job of nine years and all I said was, I was tired.
08:54I can't take this anymore.
08:56And then I received a friend request from Chris.
09:01Chris Watts is the only child of Cindy and Ronnie Watts.
09:05But he has a half-sister.
09:07He and Shanann are from small towns in North Carolina.
09:10Chris is passionate about cars.
09:13So much so that his life goal is to work as a mechanic in NASCAR.
09:18Shanann and Chris had mutual friends.
09:20And that's why he decided to message her on Facebook.
09:25She hesitated a bit before starting a new romance.
09:27I made up a thousand excuses for him to run away.
09:31Seriously, a thousand.
09:32Every day he had the chance to say no.
09:35But he insisted.
09:37He insisted because he was the right guy for me.
09:40And he is wonderful.
09:43There's no way to explain what an incredible person he is.
09:47In 2012, they got married.
09:51A few months later, they decide to move from North Carolina to Colorado.
09:56Hoping that the weather will ease Shanann's lupus symptoms.
10:01They had vacationed in Colorado and had fallen in love with the region.
10:05So, the couple ended up buying a house in Frederick, Colorado.
10:09It's a beautiful little town located north of Denver.
10:14Bella, Shanann and Chris's first daughter, was born in December 2013.
10:20And about a year and a half later, in June 2015, they had a second daughter, Celeste, whom they called Cici.
10:28Chris said that Bella was a calm and affectionate girl.
10:32Cici, on the other hand, was more spirited, so they nicknamed her Hurricane.
10:37It only had two speeds; if she wasn't sleeping, she was going a thousand miles an hour.
10:41On the outside, they looked like the perfect American family.
10:44The mother, the father, the two little girls, and a third child on the way.
10:48It seemed as if the family lived in complete harmony.
10:52When news of the disappearance spreads, Nathan Trinastit, a neighbor of the couple, notifies the police that he may be in possession of crucial evidence.
11:08Nathan explained that he had surveillance cameras all around the outside of his house and they were pointed towards Shanann's house.
11:18And they recorded 24 hours a day.
11:22So, the police and Chris went to his house to watch the recording from that morning.
11:31Who knows, maybe that video will give definitive answers about what happened to Shanann and the girls.
11:41It's been almost 10 hours since Chris Watts, from Colorado, last saw his pregnant wife and two daughters.
11:48Police in the city of Frederick hope that security camera footage will provide clues to his whereabouts.
11:55The police went to that neighbor's house.
11:57He had put the video on to play on the living room TV.
12:00You can see him at 5:17 AM.
12:01Everyone was watching the video at the same time, and what the images showed was that around 5:45 AM, between 5:30 AM and 5:45 AM,
12:12Chris parked his pickup truck in front of the house and left part of the truck bed inside the garage.
12:19It was incredible to see Chris Watts' reaction while watching the surveillance video that was playing on his neighbor's TV.
12:30His body language was such that he wouldn't stop moving.
12:34He kept his hands behind his head.
12:36I had a problem a few weeks ago with some people coming and stealing things from our garage.
12:41So all I had to do was park...
12:43Chris started talking a lot with the police officers to try to explain what he was doing.
12:51where the pickup truck was parked, because he had reversed it all the way to the garage.
12:56I carried my things, my coolers, my water jugs, my suitcase of books, my computers.
13:02The problem with this surveillance video is that it didn't give a definitive answer as to what had happened to Shenan and the girls.
13:10Okay, thank you very much.
13:12I hope this gets resolved soon, man.
13:16They turned to leave and it looked like the whole group was going to leave together, but then Nathan held the policeman back with Rod.
13:22Do you want to talk to him? I'll just write down Nathan's information.
13:26He's not there, that's normal.
13:27No?
13:29What the neighbor told the police was that something was wrong.
13:32He never gets agitated.
13:34Never swing your body like that.
13:36The neighbor began to suspect something.
13:39Chris was acting strangely.
13:43Therefore, the focus of the investigation became discovering what was really happening in the family's life.
13:52If the relationship was experiencing any problems.
13:55It's a natural course of investigation when someone disappears like that, without any logical inquiry.
14:02To find out more, the police spoke with close friends of Shenan.
14:08They explain that her world revolves around her family and her promising career in sales.
14:14Level is a nutrition and wellness company.
14:19She sold supplements, shakes, and products that, in theory, make a person healthier and more energetic.
14:26If you are on the path to success, if you have much more self-confidence than you did before,
14:31Leave a comment.
14:33Spread the love.
14:34She frequently posted videos, almost daily, talking about work-related and personal matters.
14:42She kept family and friends updated on the children and her relationship with Chris.
14:49Seeing this, we could realize that there was practically nothing that Shenan wouldn't post on Facebook.
14:57She posted up until the moment she told Chris that they were going to have another child.
15:03And this is a very intimate moment.
15:05We did it again.
15:09I liked the t-shirt.
15:11Serious?
15:12Serious?
15:13Cool.
15:15Analyzing Shenan and Chris's relationship through social media,
15:20One would imagine that they were a happy family.
15:26That they were adventurous, that the girls were healthy, and that the relationship was going well.
15:35Hey guys.
15:36My day has been amazing.
15:38I love you all.
15:39I love you all.
15:40While the couple seemed calm online, Shanann's friends tell a very different story.
15:46different from the police officers.
15:49In July 2018, she went to spend five weeks with the girls in North Carolina.
15:55Chris didn't go.
15:57And then Chris started acting strange.
16:00The text messages revealed that he wasn't very happy about having a third child.
16:07Two children were already quite a lot.
16:09According to friends, tensions reached a peak in Arizona a few days before his disappearance.
16:16While Nicole and Shanann were on that trip to Arizona, Shanann noticed a
16:21The credit card charge was far too high for a dinner for just one person.
16:26Shanann's immediate conclusion was, he must be cheating on me, he must be with someone else while...
16:32I'm out.
16:34And she started questioning her husband about it.
16:36He said he had gone to watch a baseball game and stopped for dinner, but that he was...
16:42alone.
16:43He denied the idea that he was being unfaithful or that he was cheating on his wife.
16:48After 24 hours of searching, there is still no sign of Shanann, her, or Celeste.
16:54We bring in sniffer dogs to search for the scent of decomposing bodies and try
17:00to find some trace of the girls and Shanann.
17:04They began a thorough search of the house for forensic evidence.
17:08And someone found a sheet in the kitchen trash.
17:11It was the bed sheet from the couple's bedroom.
17:16This raised even more suspicions among the police.
17:19And in no time, the media becomes aware of the story.
17:24Tonight, police issued a missing person alert for Shanann Watts and the two
17:28her daughters.
17:29The husband says she disappeared on Monday morning.
17:31My name is Thomas Hopinow and I'm a reporter for Denver 7, and I've been covering the story since...
17:36first day.
17:38When we arrived in Frederick, Chris Watts was sitting on the porch.
17:42But I only wanted to talk to Nick, a friend of his.
17:45Nick told me, Chris is here and is willing to give you an interview.
17:48Do you think she's gone?
17:50Well, look, for now I don't want to create any theories.
17:53I just hope she's somewhere safe with the girls.
17:59And at one point I had to ask.
18:01Were you involved in any way?
18:03Without speaking directly.
18:05So, during the interview, what I decided to ask was, did you two have any arguments?
18:11And he actually answered my question, which shocked me quite a bit.
18:14It wasn't exactly an argument, we just had a difficult conversation, but I'll just say...
18:17that.
18:18And right after that, he looked at the camera and asked them to come back.
18:22Shanann, Bella, Celeste, if you're there, come home.
18:27If anyone has her, bring her back.
18:30I need to see my family.
18:32I need to be with my family.
18:34This house is not complete without anyone else here.
18:37We journalists can only report the facts.
18:40We don't speculate.
18:42But after that interview, my photographer and I found everything very strange.
18:46He was using the right words.
18:48It seemed like he was saying the right things.
18:50But I think everyone noticed his posture, his cold and emotionless demeanor at the time.
18:58Chris Watts appeared on television pleading for his family to return safely.
19:03But there was someone watching who was going to turn this case upside down.
19:07I thought it would be good for me to come here and talk to you.
19:11I don't think anyone in his life knows I exist.
19:14In truth.
19:15The disappearance of Frederick's pregnant wife and her two daughters has drawn national attention.
19:24While the search for Shannon, Bella, and Celeste continues,
19:27The intense media coverage leads to an unexpected clue.
19:33The police received a call from a woman named Nicole Kessinger.
19:38She had information and volunteered to testify and tell the detectives everything she knew.
19:44I met Chris at work, and we started talking and getting to know each other better.
19:49And we started going out frequently.
19:51I think it will be around the last week of June.
19:55He told me he had two daughters and also that he had begun the process of separating from his wife.
20:03As far as I knew, the paperwork was ready.
20:06I can only describe the information Nicole Kessinger had as being a bombshell.
20:12I think he wanted to have a serious relationship with me.
20:18The police found evidence that they had a relationship.
20:22They found emails that the two exchanged on their work computers.
20:26I had cards that Chris had sent to Nicole Kessinger, with love messages and song lyrics.
20:32There are photos of the two of them together.
20:34He told her he was getting a divorce, and Nicole mentioned that she could help Chris find an apartment for him and the girls after the separation.
20:42While Xena and the girls were vacationing in North Carolina, Chris was planning a life of his own in Colorado with Nick.
20:51He even went so far as to say, "I love you," to her.
20:55So, Xenan wasn't crazy.
20:57And that charge on her credit card that had her so worried was for a romantic dinner with this Nick.
21:02I keep wondering if there's more to this whole story than I know, because I think he's a decent guy and I'm worried about his wife and daughters.
21:15It's very bizarre because the girls are so small and she's pregnant.
21:22So, where is their mother?
21:24The police had no concrete proof of Xenan and the girls' whereabouts, but they increasingly suspected Chris Watts.
21:34He was the last person to see the three of them alive.
21:38He must have been hiding something.
21:41On August 15th, investigators decide to focus on Chris's movements on the day Xenã disappeared.
21:48At the same time, he is summoned to take a polygraph test.
21:52Later, Tammy Lee, an investigating officer with the Colorado police, and Graham Coder, an FBI agent, speak with Chris to explain the results.
22:03You failed the polygraph test.
22:06It's OK.
22:07Okay?
22:07We need to talk about what really happened.
22:10The only way they could have left is in your car.
22:15That's impossible, because I didn't throw all three of them into my car.
22:19I don't know.
22:20Did you know your truck has GPS?
22:22Yes.
22:22He knows?
22:23And what is triggered every ten seconds?
22:25Yes.
22:27So we'll see...
22:29Exactly.
22:30Did you investigate me?
22:31I know.
22:32Where did you go?
22:33The police had interviewed some of his coworkers, who said he was using a company truck.
22:40The vehicle had GPS and they could check it.
22:44And they found out that he hadn't gone to the office, which was somewhat unusual.
22:49And he had gone straight from his house to a well drilling facility.
22:53Investigators go to the location and conduct a search using drones to find clues.
23:00And what did they find in that oil well?
23:03The missing sheet.
23:05And it was from the same set of bed sheets they had found in the kitchen trash.
23:10Using the drone, they took photos and sent them to the detectives and agents who were interrogating Chris Watts at the Frederick city police station.
23:19But you're lying about something here.
23:22So we need to talk about it.
23:25I'm not proud of it.
23:26I betrayed Shanann and I feel terrible about it.
23:29She is pregnant.
23:30After hours of interrogation, the only relevant information Chris gave them was that he was having an affair.
23:37But they already knew that, because the mistress had already revealed the whole story.
23:42And the agents realized that it was about to collapse.
23:46I didn't do anything.
23:47Was it an accident?
23:47No, there was no accident.
23:50If there was an accident at the house, I wasn't there at the time.
23:53It's important to know if it was an accident, because that changes things, Chris.
23:56No.
23:57So tell me what happened.
23:58It didn't happen.
23:59I didn't cause any accidents.
24:01I didn't do anything to my wife and daughters.
24:06Was it a misunderstanding?
24:08There was no misunderstanding.
24:09We had a conversation.
24:11Nothing happened.
24:12I didn't tell her about my affair.
24:15I didn't tell.
24:15I didn't tell.
24:17It was a misunderstanding.
24:18It was a misunderstanding.
24:19Communication failure, yes.
24:20Yes, it was a misunderstanding.
24:22But I think I should have told her right away.
24:26Serious.
24:27We were just clarifying things.
24:29Of course.
24:30I should have told her right away.
24:32But I didn't tell anyone, because I didn't have the courage to speak.
24:36What was your plan?
24:37What did you want to do?
24:39How was your separation going to be?
24:41Well, after we separated, I was going to find a house.
24:47And, I don't know, we were going to share custody of the girls.
24:52That's what I expected.
24:53So, she comes to talk to me about Nick.
24:57I was going to take it slow to see if things would progress and we would end up living together.
25:05And you didn't shed a single tear in those two days you were here.
25:10None.
25:10None.
25:12I don't understand you.
25:14They are his little daughters.
25:15I know.
25:16And you didn't shed a tear for not being with them.
25:22You cried while telling your wife that you wanted a divorce.
25:24AND.
25:24But she doesn't cry knowing that her daughters are missing.
25:28I'm hoping they're okay.
25:29I'm hoping they're alive.
25:31There was a game of cat and mouse in that interrogation room.
25:34He swore he was telling the truth.
25:36But they knew that wasn't true.
25:38Suddenly, they changed their strategy.
25:41Chris, did Shannon do something to them?
25:42No, I don't know.
25:43Shannon did something to them, and then you thought you needed to do something to Shannon?
25:49He paused, looked at them, and said
25:52If I can talk to my father, I'll tell him what happened.
25:56So, they let Chris talk to his father.
26:00His father, Ronnie Watts, entered the room.
26:03The agents left, but everyone knew they were still recording.
26:07I don't want to protect her.
26:10Don't you want to protect her?
26:12No.
26:13I don't know what to say.
26:15Was it her?
26:16He was.
26:16Chris eventually told his father that he saw Shannon hurting the girls on the baby monitor.
26:27She suffocated them both in bed.
26:29I freaked out and did the same thing to her.
26:33So, she killed Cici and Bella.
26:36She suffocated them both.
26:38Did you lose control and choke her?
26:42I'm very sorry.
26:43It was a thrilling story that Chris Watts told about Shannon killing her daughters.
26:50Shannon was a loving, devoted, and amazing mother.
26:53I would never hurt the girls.
26:56After Chris confessed to killing Shannon,
26:59The officers came in and started asking him more questions.
27:03They wanted to know where Shannon and the girls were.
27:06They showed a picture of an oil well installation called SEV 319.
27:12Where are Shannon and the girls?
27:18Here, here.
27:21Are they in the tanks?
27:22He identified two large oil wells.
27:32He had placed Bella in one and Celeste in another.
27:37And then he identified a patch of bare earth where he had buried Shannon and the child she was expecting.
27:47Chris?
27:48Hey?
27:48Please stand up.
27:49At 11:30 p.m. on August 15, Watts is arrested on suspicion of three counts of first-degree murder.
27:59He was arrested on the spot.
28:01The day before, he was asking his wife and daughters to come back.
28:05And the next day, he was admitting that he had killed his wife.
28:11That's about it.
28:13It was surreal.
28:14The extraction process was dangerous.
28:39This, obviously, was a horrifying task given the nature of the events.
28:44We need to put agents in place to practically get into the tanks and recover the girls' bodies.
28:51This goes against human nature.
28:56How can someone do that to their own children?
28:59This turned out to be quite a complicated mission.
29:03Many people needed to help and...
29:07I think they'll never be the same again.
29:12In a short time, the shocking arrest of Chris Watts becomes national news.
29:18The man arrested for killing his wife and two young daughters...
29:22He is now telling investigators that, in fact, his wife was the one who killed the girls.
29:26The United States was captivated by this story.
29:31A man begs his daughters to come back, but was he the one who killed his wife and daughters and hid their bodies in oil tanks?
29:39What we saw was a dichotomy of personalities.
29:42Who is the real Chris Watts?
29:44I believed I would take care of them and not kill them.
29:48You disgust me.
29:49While friends and relatives mourn the deaths of Shanann, Bella, and Celeste,
30:02A veteran prosecutor takes over the case.
30:06My name is Michael J. Hercos, I am a prosecutor in the city of Weld, Colorado.
30:10And I was in charge of Christopher Watts' case.
30:14In the end, Christopher was charged with nine crimes in total.
30:18There were five charges of first-degree murder.
30:21The sixth was the illegal termination of a pregnancy.
30:24And the seventh, eighth, and ninth charges were for handling a human corpse.
30:28At this point, we were expecting to face a lengthy trial.
30:32and determining whether to seek the death penalty, according to Colorado law.
30:38But Chris Watts insists he has no connection whatsoever to his daughters' deaths.
30:42He says he murdered his wife because he caught her strangling the girls.
30:47A team from the Public Defender's Office begins to assemble the case.
30:51Shortly after Chris's arrest, one of the public defenders filed a request.
30:57from DNA samples taken from Bella and Cici's necks.
31:04They were hoping that the DNA would prove that Shanann had strangled the girls before she died.
31:10The request is denied.
31:14A few days later, Chris's defense takes a drastic turn.
31:18I clearly remember receiving an email from the public defenders who were handling the case.
31:25implying that Chris was willing to plead guilty to first-degree murder.
31:31if our side were willing to eliminate the possibility of the death penalty.
31:37We don't have an immediate answer.
31:39We said that we needed to check the process and see if there was anything we could do.
31:46Christopher Watts, accused of killing his wife and three children,
31:50He will spend the rest of his life in prison after making a deal with the prosecution.
31:54On November 6th, Chris Watts pleaded guilty to all nine charges.
32:01He eventually accepted the deal to drop the death penalty.
32:05Essentially, he admitted guilt for killing his wife and daughters.
32:11The story that Shanann killed the girls and he saw it on the baby monitor was nonsense.
32:17The statement he made about Shanann was false, incorrect, and frankly, a complete lie, and it has been corrected.
32:25We arrested the real culprit, him.
32:28Two weeks later, at the Weld court, Chris's sentencing hearings begin.
32:35In that courtroom, families gathered, the public gathered, the media watched.
32:42Finally, we were going to hear from Chris Watts. What did he have to say?
32:46Session initiated. Judge Marcelo Kopko is present.
32:50Good morning. You may be seated.
32:53As is customary, the victim's family has the opportunity to make a statement to the accused.
33:00Then, Shanann's father, Frank Ruzek, confronts the man who murdered his daughter.
33:05Life will never be the same without Shanann, Bela, Celeste, and Nico.
33:11They were taken by someone cruel.
33:13He is that cruel person, that monster.
33:18How dare you take the lives of my daughter Shanann, Bela, Celeste, and Nico.
33:23I believed I would take care of them and not kill them.
33:27You disgust me.
33:29Following the statement from the Ruzek family,
33:32Herc reveals his notes to the court.
33:34Why did this happen?
33:37How could a seemingly normal husband and father murder his entire family?
33:43There is only one person in this court and on this planet who can answer these questions.
33:50We believe he fully intended to start a new life.
33:55Without Shanann, Bela, Celeste and Nico.
33:59With the love of his life, which is what he called Nicole Kessinger.
34:04Before the judge delivers the sentence, Chris is given an opportunity to speak.
34:11Do you want to make a statement?
34:13No, sir.
34:15Thanks.
34:15The judge handed down three life sentences plus 86 years for the other charges.
34:45Including the maximum sentence for the charge of illegal termination of pregnancy.
34:51And for Shanann's family, it was very important that this accusation be acknowledged.
34:56Chris Watts will spend the rest of his life in prison.
34:59That's where he's going to die.
35:00But the sentence was almost a disappointment, because he didn't speak.
35:05We still have so many unanswered questions.
35:10Why did he do that?
35:11What triggered the aggression?
35:13What was the trigger?
35:14From that deadly act.
35:17Almost four months later, events take a shocking turn.
35:22Suddenly, Chris Watts agreed to speak with the agents about the case.
35:26Hi, Chris.
35:28Do you remember us?
35:29I remember.
35:30I remember.
35:31Let's go.
35:32Would they discover the truth?
35:33Four months after Chris Watts was convicted of murdering his pregnant wife and two daughters.
35:44The same agents who interrogated Chris in August, Graham Coder and Tammy Lee, are going to Dodge Correctional Facility, hoping to get an honest confession.
35:55The last time the agents questioned Chris Watts, they didn't find out why Chris did what he did.
36:03What exactly happened to the girls?
36:06The officers who work on cases like these always want to help families get answers.
36:13I hope that in the end, you feel better.
36:15I hope this helps you.
36:17Can we talk, or do you have any questions for us?
36:20You can start.
36:20We'll get started.
36:21All good.
36:22It is interesting to observe the technique used by these agents.
36:26They are very informal.
36:27They reassured Chris, making him comfortable enough to open up.
36:34Did you two fight?
36:35The two of you?
36:37Well, we...
36:37Was there any domestic violence between you two?
36:40Nothing.
36:40That's why it's harder to understand all of this from my point of view and from yours as well.
36:47There's always a moment in any marriage when the dominant person takes control of everything.
36:52Of course.
36:53But in my whole life, I've only followed others.
36:57It seems like you didn't want to appear in those videos.
37:00No.
37:00I feel like you were being forced.
37:02Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's the feeling I get.
37:04I hated appearing in those videos.
37:06I ended up accepting it because it was her job.
37:10Of course.
37:10He understands?
37:11And I hated exposing myself for anyone to see.
37:14Then, the investigators begin to address the events that led Chris to massacre his entire family.
37:20Can we talk about the most difficult subject?
37:24The last thing we discussed was where the girls were.
37:28But we never talked about that night.
37:30What happened?
37:31I just wanted to tell her how I was feeling at that moment in my life.
37:36That I didn't feel like we were compatible anymore.
37:39Shanann arrived home around two in the morning.
37:44And then I felt her lying on the bed.
37:47And I felt that she was shifting a little.
37:50I felt that something was wrong.
37:52She knew what was happening.
37:54And he started touching me.
37:55And we ended up having sex.
37:58But I think it was a test.
38:00AND?
38:01That's what I thought.
38:02Interesting.
38:02It's OK.
38:04It must have been quite shocking for the agents to hear Chris say he was going to confront his wife.
38:09But the two ended up having sex.
38:12When I woke up this morning, I basically told her that our relationship wasn't going to work out.
38:17And she asked, what happened?
38:21What was that all about last night?
38:23Did she ever accuse you of cheating on her?
38:26Uh-huh.
38:27What did she say?
38:29She spoke, and I knew there was someone else.
38:31I knew there was someone else.
38:33I told her I didn't love her anymore.
38:36I ended up on top of her.
38:39AND...
38:40She told me to get off of her.
38:43She said, you'll never see your children again.
38:46He'll never see the children again.
38:47Get off me.
38:49And that's when it happened.
38:53Shannon told him exactly that.
38:55You'll never see the children again.
38:58This made Chris so furious that he grabbed her by the neck and for some reason couldn't let go.
39:06And I felt that it was.
39:08I don't mean to say that I felt I needed to do it.
39:10I just felt like I already had an idea brewing in my head.
39:13That was the plan.
39:14I was going to do it, and I woke up that day knowing what was going to happen.
39:16And I had no way to control it.
39:19Because I couldn't let her go.
39:20I couldn't.
39:22The agents always knew he had killed Shannon.
39:26He had admitted it months before.
39:29But what happened that made him take the lives of those two little girls?
39:33The wife was dead and lying on the bed.
39:37Then he looked at the door and four-year-old Bela was there.
39:43She kept talking...
39:45What it was?
39:46What's wrong with Mom?
39:48Where was Shannon at the time?
39:50She was lying on the bed, but with her face down.
39:53Wrapped up in a sheet?
39:56What did you say?
39:56I just said... nothing.
39:59She's not feeling well.
40:01And that was it...
40:02That I took her downstairs.
40:05And then what?
40:06I took her downstairs.
40:09And I reversed the pickup truck.
40:11He put his dead wife in the truck bed.
40:14He put his daughters, still alive, in the car with him.
40:17And he drove to the wells.
40:20Was Bela the first, or was it Cici?
40:23I honestly don't want to talk about that part.
40:26It's OK.
40:27They were my daughters, my loves.
40:29I still talk to all the new ones.
40:30All.
40:30Every time I see their photos, I don't understand how this happened.
40:36Being a father was the best part of my life.
40:38And I ruined everything.
40:41At the oil wells, he picked up his three-year-old daughter first.
40:45He suffocated Cici with her own blanket.
40:48Until she dies.
40:50And Belle was watching it all happen.
40:54She said, "Dad, is the same thing that happened to Cici going to happen to me?"
40:57And I spoke, I don't even remember what I said.
40:59I don't know if I said yes, like a horrible person.
41:03Or if I just put the blanket over her and did the same thing.
41:07The same blanket, in the same way?
41:09Uh-huh.
41:09Okay.
41:11And she said, no, daddy.
41:12And that was the last thing she said.
41:16After he placed the girls in two different wells,
41:20He went back to the car to retrieve his wife's body.
41:23He dug a shallow grave.
41:24And he buried Shanann there.
41:27In the shadows of the oil tanks.
41:31I felt it was anger towards Shanann and everything.
41:35And I ended up taking it out on everyone who crossed my path that day.
41:39I was supposed to have a five-year-old daughter, a three-year-old daughter, and a one-month-old son.
41:44And a beautiful wife.
41:45But now I'm the only one left.
41:47Cases like his are well-known.
41:51Chris Watts is a family annihilator.
41:56Most of these annihilators are in their 30s.
41:59They are white men, who have a calm nature.
42:02They keep everything to themselves.
42:04And then, suddenly, at some point, all that anger explodes.
42:10That defines Chris Watts perfectly.
42:13What made everyone identify with Shanann was that she showed all the details of her life with her daughters.
42:21People saw a loving mother with her two daughters and husband.
42:25And it ended horribly.
42:28Don't believe everything you see on social media.
42:32A person can appear happy and have the perfect family online.
42:36But you never know what the truth is.
42:40I will continue fighting for my daughters, for my husband, for myself.
42:47And no one will take away my bright future.
42:53I will never forget this case.
42:54You can be sure of that.
42:55I never thought I would have to face something so terrible.
42:58I saw a lot of bad things in those 22 years as a prosecutor.
43:02None of this needed to happen.
43:04He wanted to start a new life with his girlfriend.
43:08If you get divorced, you don't have to murder your family.
43:12I think we should remember the smiles they brought to the family.
43:18Shanann, Bella, and Celeste need to be remembered as truly innocent victims.
43:24And Lounença didn't take all my daughters.
43:25Since then, we've been pretty healthy, and I have to go.
43:26Nanț мясos.
43:27And what do you think about her pioneering efforts to create the Gog wireless comic book?
43:29Perfect.

43:45I think I'll fortify it much earlier.
43:47I think it was before, how much?
43:50I think so, because I am everything.
