I don't think a man nor a woman should ever be this demanding in a relationship, I don't care who's bringing home that thrive bacon.


Just found it interesting that this one snippet gave us a glimpse into their relationship dynamic.

Such a shame that his two daughters meant nothing to him beyond pure parental obligation and that this was the only way his pea brain could imagine an exit from whatever he was struggling with. Seems like on top of Chris' obvious psychological issues and chemical imbalance in his brain that what triggered his quest for freedom is, as other have pointed out, his new lease on life after getting swole and getting more attention from women. Tons of people are "guilty" of this, if you can even call it that. Again, the only thing I'm accusing Shanann of is being an inconsiderate person who wanted a subservient husband. In the video she keeps interrupting whatever he's doing so he can a) get her a charger b) get her a glass of wine and c) finally, get your ass over here so I can clean your face. She also mentioned to her friend in the discovery files that she wasn't really worried about Chris cheating on her because he "has no game". It's also quite telling how little respect (again, I'm looking for motivation for murder here besides his obvious mental issues, not condoning his crimes) Shanann seems to have for Chris with lines like: "He'll do anything I say" with an un-ironic smirk to the camera. To be honest it's actually quite pathetic how Chris is so easily pushed around and doesn't speak up if something bothers him. This is the first time I've watched the following video where Shanann is live streaming and bossing Chris around (I'm sure many of you have seen it already, so apologies in advance) just to preface, by no means am I trying to condone what CW did or justify his actions: we all agree, the guy has serious issues and committed 4 horrible crimes.
#SHANANN WATTS PLUS#
Ultimately, he was sentenced to five life sentences (three consecutive and two concurrent) for the murders, plus a total of 84 more years for the other crimes.I'm gonna get downvoted to hell. This time, he confessed to killing his wife and daughters and pleaded guilty to all nine counts against him: five counts of first-degree murder (including two additional counts for his daughters because they were children under 12), one count of unlawful termination of a pregnancy, and three counts of tampering with a deceased human body. After murdering Shanann, he took the three bodies to the oil site and buried them, he said.Ĭome November, however, Chris's story had changed again. She was upset, he said, because he had tried to talk to her about separating and ending their marriage, and she had retaliated by killing the girls. In his initial confession, Chris said that he had strangled Shanann in a "fit of rage" after watching her smother their two daughters, Bella and Celeste. On August 21, 2018, Chris was charged with his family's murders. Not long after, investigators found Shanann, Bella, and Celeste's bodies exactly where Chris said they were: at an Anadarko Petroleum site, with Shanann's body in a shallow grave and the two girls' bodies in oil tanks. Investigators took a gamble and allowed him to do so, and it worked: Chris confessed to his father that he had killed his wife. That afternoon, Chris vowed to tell police the truth if he could talk to his father first. Then, on August 15 (two days after his wife and daughters' disappearances) Chris failed a polygraph test - and that's when everything changed. Meanwhile, investigators from the local police department, the CBI, and the FBI had been going through Chris's phone records, which showed that he had been having an affair with one of his coworkers from Anadarko Petroleum. He initially told police that he had no idea where Shanann, Bella, and Celeste might be, and he began giving media appearances appealing to the community for help in finding his missing family. In the days that followed, Chris's story changed drastically. So the next day, Shanann and the girls were officially declared missing, and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) released Endangered Missing Person alerts for them. The police conducted an investigation of the Watts' home that afternoon, and even though they found no signs of foul play, they did find Shanann's car and all of her personal belongings.
