I agree 💯. Pisses me off, tbh.

People blame her! I have heard that as well. He could have just left. He resented her for whatever reason. He wanted the satisfaction of killing her because he blamed her for the situation.

I agree 100%. Doesn't give anybody the right to murder somebody. Divorce would definitely be the consequence of incompatibility, toxic communication, and so forth. Although expensive and the consequences there are significant too, that doesn't mean he should have done murder as an alternative.

People (I think women especially) victim blame because they’re subconsciously trying to assure themselves horrible things can’t happen to them. If Shannan was to blame because of her personality, or her direct sales job, or her media presence or whatever, then such tragedy could never happen to them because they aren’t like Shannan. It’s easier to tolerate than the idea they have no control over the situation.

@@suekelley2109 never thought of it that way....it makes sense though.

Not insane at all! Pyschopath though! He knew what hecwas doing’

Didn't he tried to kill the in the house as well? I read that he tried to suffocate them with their pillows and was upset when he realized that both kids were still alive.

Laura F I remember this too!!! He admitted it after being in prison for a while. It was his “real confession” even though I feel he’s holding back information.

Exactly!!!!!

Hold the phone, it gets worse. He had actually attempted to kill his daughters before killing his wife by suffocating them. Then he proceeded to kill his wife and after she was dead the girls walked in the room and asked him what was wrong with mommy. He said in his prison interview he was "surprised they were still alive". THEN he drove with them in the car and their dead mother was at their feet in the vehicle for 45 minutes. He technically killed his daughters twice!

I saw a video from the neighbors security camera, where he loaded the body into his truck in body bags. He most likely smothered them in their sleep.

@@smarie4233nope. He didn’t. Listen to his prison interview. It’s insane. He killed them at the oil wells then stuffed them inside. Such a monster.

@S Marie If only. You responded to someone's comment, but you don't validate his points. The girls were still alive when he drove 45 minutes to dump his dead wife body.

@Wrath of Arminius s. Marie has no respect for fact. She replied to a person's but didn't validate his points.

@@sammas2959 she just doesn’t know the case yet. I wish I was her and knew less about it honestly. This is one that haunts. I know too much about it. That jailhouse interview was rough. I have girls, and it’s just awful to think of what those little girls went through. So sad.

Never!

Ever!

A whole word

Erm... maybe but it usually doesn't end like this?

💯

agree, bad enough he murdered her but to wrongly accuse her of killing her own children...and that poor dogloved Shanaan and both girls and was traumatized and upset losing it's family, you can see how upset little dog was

He had to strangle the kids twice..

@@thesummerland6165 Mkk7

The cops put that option into his head. It’s a tactic the cops use. He was stupid enough to fall for it.

It's interesting that evil can be so banal. It feels like he did it because it was the best solution he could think of and he was too dumb to consider the consequences. He's not sadistic, per se, he just didn't mind causing pain to achieve his goals. I guess what I'm trying to say is that, in a way, this guy is even more horrifying than the B.T.K.s of the world. For every Rader there's a dozen Watts with vacant, slack-jawed stares who are simply too dumb not to kill.

Well, at least your excuse for that moron makes sense.

Exactly. All the information about the murders (other than the parts that are backed up with physical evidence, ie cause of death) pretty much comes from him and he's not exactly credible (understatement of the century).

@@reginaworthey1401 He never had control. He wanted out and planed it, that to me is not a "snap."

Almost always in cases like Chris Watts they never tell the full truth unless there is smoking gun evidence. For Chris it started with a murder-suicide committed by Shanann. Then him killing Shanann in anger for "discovering she murdered their daughters". To then killed Shanann in anger and so on. He only copped to killing his daughters when it was undeniable he killed them. As far as how that night unfolded in particular, we probably will never know the truth because that's Chris's last "plausible deniability" to claim he isn't pure evil and just acted in rage.

G Lion lol 😆 and Broad wanted rid of his wife and babies. And he stupidly obliged by allowing it to happen and in my opinion with the help of devil 😈 worshippers. Then the did the off and left him to take the rap. And I believe threatened his family. His wife and babies imo were a sacrifice.x

And NK still needs more investigation…..👹🤬

@pencilmug She was never really investigated ...that interview was a freeken love feast..😡

You're right. She could not have prevented Chris from having visitation. That would be up to the court. If Shannan did say that, it would have been an empty threat.

Exactly, I doubt she made that threat....and even if she did, why would you then go and erase the kids from the planet, if that upset him so much?

How do any of you know what he or she said?

@@JamesHarmony well, for starters hes since retold the story and it doesnt include that detail (or story-line) anymore Secondly, he come clean about it being pre-planned for a different motive (to be with Nicole Kessinger, who he now accuses of seducing him, quoting bible verses about “bad” women) Lastly, hes a lying a$$ murderer using a tired excuse abusive men have been using for ages to justify murdering their wives

Even if she did say it, she may not have been serious. She could have been saying it to get revenge in the moment for how he had humiliated her. She may have acquiesced when she realized that her kids want to see their dad. To respond to the temporary separation between parent and child with the permanent removal of the other parent… it’s insane. It shows no empathy. He never thought about the girls when making this decision.

A covert one

I agree it was premeditated. He's just not smart. he buried his family at his job site. Also her friends and nosy neighbors stepped to look for Shanann and the kids. This threw Chris for a loop. Running around looking crazy knowing he murdered them.

He is an idiot. Dumping their bodies where he works? How dumb can you be

Thing that scares me the most is imaging the actual murders themselves. Someone mentioned “murderous rage” and I agree...what would that cardboard box of a man look like when he’s relishing in killing his family? The fact he looked up those song lyrics tells me he must have been PARTYING at least mentally, maybe physically.

@wulfgar3000 well aren’t you a fun human. 😂

Most likely it was what he told the reporter, who interviewed him. Stick to the "they were taken/kidnapped" story. keep on saying whoever "had" them to please bring them back, how much he loved "those girls," missed them, etc. Play the grieving widower who "lost" his family and manipulate everyone into feeling sorry for him. Then make a new life with Nicole. IMO, that's what he fantasized would be the outcome; in his sick, twisted mind. He really thought he would get away with it, because he's smarter than the police and "everyone" knew what a "nice" guy he was.

TOTALLY,,,,,,,,,,,where is the rest of the plan

Good question!!

@Bubby_Bear Exactly! I wondered about that part too. He was in a total fantasy world thinking they were just gone and he was free to move on.

Exactly this. If it was "rage" - why did the murders, particularly of the kids seem so calculated? If the it was "calculated" why was it so badly carried out that he ended up voluntarily confessing to the police within days?

She wasn’t responsible. CW is a disgusting psychopath but but prior to meeting Shanann had a higher paying job than the anadarko oil job and had a savings account. After marrying her she talked him out of the higher paying job to get a job requiring less hours that paid less and also drained his savings account and put the family in debt. She had bankruptcy before meeting him too. He had not. She put the girls in a high priced preschool they couldn’t afford, wanted that house and they couldn’t afford it, even with bankruptcy looming she booked a trip to Aspen for her and CW (they never made it it because he killed her). Speaking of a third child….despite the dismal finances Shanann was pregnant again.

⁠how do you know she talked him out of leaving a great job etc To blame one person in a relationship of their finance issues it ridiculous nobody could make me switch jobs or careers and no way would i just let my partner put me in debt. He had a mouth and a mind he chose to allow that to happen. He also may of preferred the oil rig job and he made that decision. Shallow to think she had that much power and control over him and if she did then that was his pathetic fault not hers. Thats as bad as saying she pushed him to kill them too…. Smh!

His repeated use of the word "like" says alot.

To say Shannon was responsible is laughable. My 18 year old son has more sense than her, and I hope like hell if he ever gets married his wife is a better person than she was. And before you jump on me, yes Chris is a monster and she and their children did not deserved what he did to them... but don't go making out she was some amazing or even regular person.

@@hollyr8788 I arrived at the info by researching including Shanann’s own videos and people who knew her. 👋

He said she did ask that but he never claimed he said yes...he said he couldn't remember if he did or if he didn't answer her.

@@PrimateProductions that’s incorrect he did answer, it’s in the interviews of him posted on KZfaq.He said something along the lines of “ I’m not sure if I either said yes like a horrible person or simply nothing in response to her asking me ” he claims it’s one of the two

@@surpriseme3928 what he actually said word for word was _"I don't even remember what I said. I don't know if I said yes like a horrible person or if I just put that sheet, that blanket over her head and did the same thing"_ So what you just said in your reply (and what he said) and what you implied in your first, original comment, that he definitely said YES is definitely NOT the same thing!

He’s a piece of S$&T that should have been PUT DOWN. It’s so sickening. He had a job, he could have seen his kids if he wanted, he had a girlfriend, just get a DIVORCE!

Not true! The sad fact of the matter is that he coldly responded to her: “Drink more Ovaltine.”®️

IMO he was gonna come home later, take her car, phone, purse, etc and drive it somewhere then report her and the kids as missing...

@@CoExist64 agreed! I think he seriously underestimated her best friend Nichole! He had not thought about anything she had planned for the next day or anything! Also I think he planned on doing something like texting people back via her phone but then he had no idea SW had changed her code to her phone (🤣😂) once he saw the code was charged it was useless to him (her phone) so he tossed it in the couch. He was a total dumb ass!

@@leampunkt3678 Yes he must have thought she and the kids were not as important as him no one not even her friends, Facebook followers would notice

The frightening thing is... had he not been so subtly stupid, he very well could have gotten away with it!

@@deniece0821 BS he was never going to get away with it, blind Freddy can tell he murdered his family b/c he is a sociopath.

Don’t confuse intimacy with sex either. When you love someone deeply, sex is so intimate, it goes beyond what can be accomplished with lust only. It’s extremely complex, when you really think about it. Merry Christmas 🎄

blame pop culture and religion.

@@pommiebears so true, having sex with a person out of lust has a significantly different feeling than having sex with a partner who you truly love, that why you can never buy true love with money! NEVER!!

Love is a weakness that humans have that ultimately leaves them in suffering.

Shup up tiny girl.

I agree totally. He planned it, he just didn’t know exactly when. But he was done with his marriage. He didn’t care if he never saw his wife and kids again, he wanted out. The new girlfriend was just the push he needed. In time he was going to get rid of her too. I mean what kind of life could they really have? She knowing he killed his wife and kids, and he blaming her. He said if he had never met NK he would not have did it. Yeah, right. I don’t believe that. Once the lust wore off and he couldn’t keep up with her….imagine the two of them pretending to be happily ever after. Not buying it.

CW is liar and a murderer so anything he says is most likely bullshit...

Dr. Grande nailed it .. psychopathic narcissist with rage & self control issues, probably zero sexual impulse control, who engaged in extramarital affair. Irony is that he looks just NORMAL guy!!

@@brendab.5111 Being 70K in debt, declaring bankruptcy, he might not have told the mistress all about that. Having a whole family go missing, people are not just going to look the other way. I cant believe he thought he would get away clean, with his lame stories, and smiling as he told those stories. He was sunk from the get - go. Her car was home, her purse was sitting there, her shoes on ft porch, her phone, he didnt have time to try to do it properly.

@bradsanders6954 I agree. He planned it and was going to blame the whole thing on his girlfriend if he got caught. I think his girlfriend was involved but he planned it. She went along, but he planned it.

I thought this was the most monstrous crime as well, and I'm 66. And then along came Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell, the extent of whose evil makes that of Chris almost pale in comparison. It seems the depths of depravity that some people will sink to in pursuit of sex, money, or power, is bottomless.

Dr. Jeffrey MacDonald killed his pregnant wife & 2 daughters in February 1970 Ft. Bragg NC. This case reminds me of that.

Psychopaths are unreasonable.

Not long after another guy in Colorado had his wife put on a blindfold to smell different candles while sitting at the kitchen table. While she was sampling each one he grabbed a baseball bat and hit her in the side of the head with a full swing. Took a few more swings to finish her off. This guy was having an affair too and told her about it so she could hang around in the area and when he called her she came over and helped clean up the mess. This was on Thanksgiving Day. Must be the altitude or something.

His mistress worked for the same company

He did break down, with fear in his eyes. But, he pretended to cry...there were no tears.

So bizarre. He cares more about his co workers than his daughters. Legitimately his behavior reminds me so much of the BTK killer.

@@MissSpaz I don't think he was worrying about his co-workers but the view of him that his co-workers were going to get

Bruceann Yellowega / I don’t believe C Watts was in a rage. Look at the video of him carrying his kids and dead wife to his truck. He was calm. He is a sociopath.

Bruceann Yellowega /. You might just be correct. 😢

Have you checked out the *JCS - Criminal Psychology* channel? It covers this case & others.

@@jengirl6475 If he was calm then that would point towards him being a psychopath, not a sociopath.

I think it was more like he had thought about it but not seriously. And then he raged and did it.

I agree. He didn't snap. He had this planned out for at least a few weeks.

I agree. And I hope his life in prison is a living hell.

He did not need to pay child support and they call women gold diggers

Sorry for the pain you've endured with your husband, and I hope you're doing well ❤️‍🩹

Interesting analogy.

@@blueseptember2174Exactly. Reminds me of this bible verse. And it’s EXACTLY what happened. (He probably murdered them, because he could have gotten a divorce.

@@natalietitus3234 He sent Shannan a photo of a staged dead child. You think this monster snapped????

Shanann seemed like a narcissist and her use of baby wise is disturbing. I was raised by someone just like Shanann. I was emotionally and mentally abused so I see right through her. Many other people aren't able to see it. It's exactly the same way with my own mom. People on the outside thought she was such a cool person. Chris was stupid for not divorcing her. Shanann's last days of sadness and confusion is what happens when people have had enough of the covert narcissistic abuse. These people get sad and confused when people are done, fed up and over them. She didn't deserve to die of course. She isn't the great mom and wife like people love to write about online. Those kids were victims long before they died. Chris is in prison and will never see freedom. There's a lot to be learned from this tragedy.

I agree.

Meh Don’t forget about the book they found I believe in her room or closet on how to fix your marriage or something to that degree.

Highly likely. We're dealing with a liar here, so maybe that phrase wasn't even uttered by Shannan. It just came off in his mouth because he was trying to justify his actions. Why else would he drove off for hours and hours to kill his girls after he killed his wife if he loved them so much and he is clearly sane? Doesn't make sense, does it?

- I feel the exact same way you do. I believe he said that to make her look bad, as well as to garner sympathy for himself. She just didn't seem to be a vindictive person.

Meh, of course.

Oh my Lord.

sHE beLIEveD

Because Indifference means you are expendable

GradKat ---We know it’s was planned because he had prepared to be alone at the worksite on Monday on Friday. I totally agree there was no ‘long discussion’. He said she was crying and her mascara was running but you can plainly tell Shan’ann had no make up on at 2 a.m. when she’s on the Ring doorbell camera. I picture Chris was fuming because his wife was ‘late coming home’, putting the squeeze on his timeline.

Interesting theory. That would explain his saying Shannan didn't fight back and the lack of marks on him which supports that. I think one of the cops theorized that as well.

Agree 100% Making sure no one would be at the work site is a clear premeditation.

I do believe he has an argument at 4 am because no woman is going to arrive at home and go right to sleep when she hasn’t kiss her girls goodnight and talked with her husband who she hasn’t seen. There is a big possibility they got intimate.

@@godallowsuturns679 he refused her sex for weeks before. Why would he suddenly have sex with her the night he kills her? I get what you're saying and it's definitely a possibility but given how he was treating her. I don't think we're ever going to get the real truth unfortunately.

Yep, now he wants people to think he wasn't completely vile and evil, but oh yeah, he is and should be locked away in a lion's den. His new life is too cushy and he doesn't deserve to live.

"Stupid o'clock" indeed.

It’s been speculated that he had drugged her a couple times trying to get her to miscarry and that’s why she was so sick that day

100%

She was pregnant, tired, and ill, and had to be up early for an appointment. I believe that HE wanted sex at stupid o-clock in the morning, and she refused (for the aforementioned reasons), and he escalated it into a fight.

@@TheRubberStudiosASMR nice victim blaming. Yeah, her fault he murdered his kids 🙄

Narcissist 100 percent

Yes, he was essentially caught by the time he returned home from killing everyone.He is/was extremely immature, naive and uneducated.

The really f***** up part is that if her friend hadn’t of been persistent, he might have actually gotten away with it. I mean it was so evident from the git that something wasn’t adding up. Her car is in the garage. The kid seats are also in the garage. Her favorite sneakers are still there. Her purse, the kids meds, her cell phone (turned off) all still in the house. He’s not upset, he seems to be speaking matter-of-factlly like “yeah, she went with the kids to a friends house.” Not upset or frantic in the slightest, implying that maybe everything is still there because she and the kids were kidnapped. All the alarms were screaming! But if her friend had not been persistent I believe he would be a free man today.

that's the white man for ya 😂😂😂

It's dreadful watching this monster of a man with his children specifically , knowing what he did , and people who blame shannan really do not get it about christopher watts , they are still buying into the facade , believing his lies that what he did was because he snapped, and was possessed by a dark entity ..when he is interviewed by the police he drops his voice and tries to sound emotional and distressed , that is all so sickening.

The problem though is there are many people CAPABLE of such acts due to their development, they just either lack the opportunity (to even TRY and get away with it), were never caught, or are already sitting in prison and it didn't become a nationwide, media frenzy, high profile case (an affluent white American pregnant woman victim is more politicizing & leveragable for power and mass propaganda, than anyone else). But the number one cause of death for pregnant women is not childbirth (although death rates in childbirth are highest in the US), it's homicide, usually by a partner. Domestic violence occurs every day and rates are underreported, there are plenty of people capable of such acts, but settle for lesser violent & aggressive behaviors because it's easier to get away with, because they know how wrong violent criminal acts and murder are and that prison exists. Look (if you want) at stories of women who've survived strangulation by their partners. These stories are not publicized, but many people could tell you they were strangled at one point by their partner (which means they had a 70% higher chance of being killed by them), but either fought to escape, regained consciousness and got medical help, had a more minor incident where the perpetrator stopped before they went unconscious or killed them, or simply left the relationship before it could escalate to that scenario. There are people walking around with long term physical effects from surviving strangulation. For those who don't survive, well here is one case. In his reactivity and rage he didn't stop until she was dead, and then tried to cover tracks in the worst ways possible. But he is very sadly NOT an anomaly and it is dangerous to assume or assert so. I know someone whose partner strangled them just till they were almost unconscious to assert control because they knew anymore could easily result in criminal implications, and someone else who was told by their spouse that they WOULD regularly violently assault them to keep them in check, if they weren't surrounded by a community they knew would swiftly condemn and ostracize them for it, making them lose everything and possibly be imprisoned. They're smart and that's why people get abused undetected ... until they're murdered.

It's weird but even hardened murderous criminals in prison have a sense of honor, rapists, pedophiles and child murderers are pariahs in prison and will be killed if left in the general population. They are held in solitary confinement for their own safety.

I mean, c'mon--how many of us truly have never thought seriously about murdering our entire family? Sheesh--it's not that big a deal.

Very good point! 👍💫

I don't think that he's capable of really understanding why people are so horrified by what he did!

@@bixler3463 The picture will not effect him in the slightest , he will sleep like a baby

That’s something I did get at all and what is most scary. That there was no signs.

Totally agree

Ticking time bomb

That is like Scott Peterson.

Oof. Sounds like ASPD/NPD and Schizoaffective Disorder. I really wonder the role the mistress played in this though.

Totally agree.. May be three years but his messages are timeless and we learn a lot. He knows what he is talking about, has confidence that compels close attention.

Okey dokey

Me too. It’s brutal.

It's so sad that i cannot bring myself to watch the Netflix documentary. Those poor babies 💔

from all family videos ive seen ...he appeared quite a normal loving father with his children. there were no signs. for him to so callously do away with them ...and then react the way he reacted afterwards. Its like he was lobotomized.

@@elaine8985 I haven't yet been able to bring myself to watch that either. Too horrible, how sweet the girls are in the home videos, and loving, especially towards their dad.

@@gorelash9056 💗💔💗

Both mothers in law appear to be domineering matriarchs, with weak husbands

I agree! Cindy Watts is a total crazy person.

She was a narc who raised another narc...typical blame shifting and dissociative behaviour. She in a way justified her daughter in law's murder thru the hands of her son ...really scary mother who raised a monster

@Monika Azariah Shannan was also a narcissist. That leaps out from her videos. I'm not victim blaming and no way did she deserve what happened, but she was hard work. There is something dodgy about Nicole, also.

@@afroliciouspresents3603 I agree with that! Shannan was no angel and her constant posting on facebook and other social media platforms made Watts angry though he didn 't want to mention it to her! Of course this is not an excusion for those horrible murders. But in my opinion it isn 't correct potraying Shannan as a person with no mistakes! I think the passion for his mistress and the anger against Shannan grew and grew and exploded at the night of the murders. Watts obviously aren 't able to express his feelings , neither in a good nor in a bad way! This was a really tragedy and feel so sorry for the victims.

Oooo he is a clear narcissist if he googled that or a sociopath

@@SwitchTF2 What exactly is the harm in speculating about his disorders? You think you won't do justice to chris fucking watts LMAO??

@@SwitchTF2 I absolutely love psychology and _theorizing_ about what psychological conditions might be at play in certain situations. ...but that's very different from an armchair psychologist making a full blown "diagnosis" after watching a short video about someone. I'll never understand why people do that. MY psychologists didn't even properly diagnose ME until I was in my late 30s. Lmao Diagnosis is extremely tricky, nuanced, and unfortunately, subjective much of the time.

@@SwitchTF2 must be easy too, Chris is a nutjob

He Googled when to TELL someone you love them, not how should it feel 😂

@@hillarybillary21 I'm sorry that happened to you, but glad you got out of the relationship. Sometimes it takes years to escape. IMO they know what they are doing, but don't know why or how they they became this way, and want to test how much abuse you're willing to take. They know they will never change because they don't want to, this fake mask works perfectly for them. It makes them smarter than everyone else. I cried and begged for hours for my ex narc to try to let go of all the mind games because his family and I truly love him. It was never going to happen. There's no hope for them.

@@hillarybillary21 Yes, you do realise it was all fiction, a make believe fairytale that you were involved in. It wasn't a real relationship, what happened didn't really affect him emotionally. It makes it easier for you to get passed that time, lesson learned (at first, if it's too good to be true, it probably is). A word of caution, I wouldn't be alone when he brings the money. 🌷

I agree, also from experience- the narc can turn the rage, and the victim-playing on and off like a tap. It's truly evil. If you are involved with one of these monsters, don't walk away...RUN

@@hillarybillary21 sounds like a demon to me Thank God ur ok

Dale Gribble I’m thankful to thanks

Looks are definitely deceiving 😶

What I can tell, he is a normal and caring guy. He had a lot of pent up anger, and he was taking those patches that messes with his heart rate and testosterone. He slept about 3 hours a night for a few months. He would fall asleep will talking to Nicki. After the perfect mixture of bad things, he snapped in a fit of rage and killed his wife. After that, he lost his mind. Then he did the rest. Other than that moment, he would have never have done those things. He loved his girls. After the incident he lied to himself and wouldn't let himself see what he did. At the same time he was in survival mode. Thinking about being with Nicki still as it helped him forget his situation. This is a travesty because he isn't the type of person who would do this. It was a once in a billion event.

They all act. We have one at work. Waiting for that day. We have reported but no action until there is a physical abuse. So far it's rage, bullying and stalking.

Ami Khan everyone is a narcissist to some degree. His friends and family didn’t think he was an over the top narcissist (like Trump). The incident was a perfect storm. He had anger built up from prior events, his testosterone and chemicals were out of wack, he was using too many of those patches that made him feel like he worked out all day without doing anything, they messed with his heart, coming back from NC to high elevation may have had an effect, he didn’t sleep more than 2 or 3 hours in a few months, he was bankrupt, then he was told he would never see his girls again. He snapped into a blinding rage, lost all control, couldn’t stop himself even when he wanted to. After he killed his wife, he completely lost his mind and went mental. Maybe he had a fever in his brain from the rage. Being totally lost and not himself he killed his girls. He didn’t regain sanity until weeks later. Then he realized he lost the 2 little girls he loved most in the world.

Jeffrey Waldron your justification of all this seriously concerns me...

She was on Facebook way too much seeking attention. Probably because of the marriage. I'd lose my shit

Mastashake yeah i wouldn’t want a wife on social media that much either. privacy with your family is very much needed but so many women need that attention from anywhere they can get it

Yeah he definitely wasnt happy about the baby cause he had been talking to skank by then.

Yea..he goes " wow "

Tom Hawkinson, when Bella was singing My dad is a hero, was heartbreaking to watch, especially when you knew what he was going to do.

Vinnie 1505 I honestly did a lot of the 10second fast forwarding on those scenes. Creepy as hell. And then how he ended up killing them? It’s absolutely nuts picturing the girls in the backseat-dead mom at their feet-cruising for an hour to Chris’ worksite.

Also Chris is dumb as rocks

It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it.

@@Linda-ki5xh Thanks for your encouraging words ! Compassion and an unbiased look at oneself ( for a start ) make a huge difference ..... Thanks once again and here's wishing you all the very best !

We are all a work in progress.

He didn’t exhibit and flags because he was nothing but a weak, feminine man. Shanann was an obvious narcissist. Watch all of the footage and you’ll catch very creepy, cruel tactics she used against him. He was so weak that over time he built up an unbelievable level of rage and hatred for her. He absolutely hated her guts. All he had to do was stand up to her. Have a backbone. Tell her “no, I will not do these fake videos anymore. You will not talk to me like this anymore.” Two benefits would come of that, number 1: he would feel better for standing up for himself: number 2: she would’ve actually become more attracted to him because women want a man with a spine. She was incredibly dominant over him and she saw him as weak, which he was. Had he just spoke up, I think they’d be alive and happy. I am NOT saying it is her fault. There’s many forces at play here but a narcissist with a weak minded, submissive person is a pressure cooker. He’s definitely a piece of shit, no excuse to do what he did but I think that’s the most obvious, logical cause after watching all of the footage of them.

@@mikexxxmilly Femininity isn't a weakness, Mike. Have a nice day.

@@Itsunclegabby I didn’t say femininity was a weakness, however... men that display overtly feminine qualities are often disrespected by women because they pity them.

@@mikexxxmilly dude you're totally trying to twist what you said. You are implying his feminine nature is part of his weakness. How ignorant

@@mikexxxmilly I understand what you are trying to say. One disagreement though: Women are not always going to find a man more attractive because they display having a spine. It depends what he has a spine about. Both women and men can have in their minds a vision of what they expect a good marriage to include...what it looks like. If during their marriage Chris didn't want to do things that for Shannon were not negotiable, she could have found it difficult to accept. In other words, if he had a spine to stand up against things she really valued, they were always going to be at a crossroads. That said, the fact that she had written a letter and composed a speech to her own husband, which she had sent to a third party to look at, says to me she was desperate. So it says to me that he was ALREADY laying down the law. Not only in action by not paying his wife any attention, but probably defending it to her face in conversations. To write a letter and compose a speech, thereby moving on from normal conversation, she was either 1) desperate to make him understand her point of view to get her way (persuasion or manipulation), or 2) desperate to show him they could be the couple they once were (completely reasonable) or 3) wanting to show him she could change (caving or adjusting because of desperation). I have not seen the letter or speech.

Yeah I saw that, he had him pegged. Also that porch interview was just so wrong, everything about it was eerie.

His mom is wack job

@@bbwsmashchamp235 which clearly explains what made him 😩 wonder who his dad is...

His moms crazy

The apple dos'nt fall far from tree. Ya Cindy She thinks Shannan brought it on herself almost deserved it. Ya cuz they had to deal with the Mom's disrespect regarding Nut allergy is a perfect example of her (Major boundary problems). So u can see were Chris gets it. He does NO WRONG in his mother's eyes (Big problem). She defends him. Never liked Shannon threatened by her taking her place in her son's life. Like she would have preferred to birth the grandbabies. She's a sick ticket. And her Son is sicker. Not to mention Nikki she's A real piece of work!!!!! Cops shoulda put them both away.

@@bbwsmashchamp235 Wack Job! Lol To the point.

Rest assured a Narcissist doesn't care. In hindsight I consider myself lucky because I found myself in an almost identical position. My ex narc had it also planned out. I also still feel that he had also planned on killing me because beating me up and strangling wasn't good enough. He went even so far to bring his girlfriend to our house saying that she was just a friend. He had his new life all planned out already. Apart from our daughter which I feel he just wanted to raise her with her with the least minimal input financially and emotionally. Narcissim is dangerous and please be aware especially after it ends. Police need to be better trained and lawyers

Very well said!

Chris stole the scenario of Shannan killing the girls from the female crime investigator who administered the lie detector test. He picked up that suggestion from a female “in authority” and lied that that was what occured. Chris had to be told what to do by women, starting with his most unpleasant & devious mother, Cindy. Chris needed for Shannan to be the Alpha in the dynamic between them that is until he replaced her with his next source of Narcissistic Supply, Kessinger! His life with Kessinger would have devolved rapidly too as she was very controlling, but also with a much less positive value system than Shannan.

We'll never know whether she threatened him with that, but I could see how a father would get enraged at hearing that - to the point of killing, no, but it's not right for a woman to use this as a threat. If he didn't love her, why would she want him.

To me, his lies are so obvious. He cared so much about his kids that when she said “you’ll never see them again”, he snapped and killed her but after the supposed rage was over, he calmly strangled those babies to death. When I was going through my divorce my son was three years old. My narcissistic and cruel ex-husband told me if I divorced him he would take my son somewhere I would never find him. We had to sneak out in bare feet late at night by rolling the car out of the driveway. I was afraid for a while, but then I realized that it was all just an attempt at control. He never even attempted to visit his son let alone steal him after that. I guess I should consider myself lucky that in that way he was just a narcissist, and not a psychopath like Chris Watts. Ironically my name is Shannon also.

@@Kimber123he wasn’t threatened with “that” by shanan at all. It’s utter 🐂💩

Yes, she was evilly gas-lit by that sly bastard - she suffered terribly, weeks B4 he murdered her & her babies. Tragic!

correction “their babies”

@@kathleenhebert7757 nah, it's her babies. the guy never referred to them as 'my' or 'mine'. let him have it his way, in prison. good chance someone will wipe him out there.

@@kathleenhebert7757 HER babies!! HE never cared about his daughters! Malignant narcissists like Chris only get married and have kids in an effort to make themselves seem normal... Chris was never normal, and when he met Nichol K., he wanted her, and a new lifestyle, so that is when his family's usefulness to him ran out... Idealize, devalue, discard. It's what malignant narcissists do... Chris is also a sociopath, so murder came pretty easily to him. But don't you DARE refer to those lost little girls as THEIR babies!! I can't believe your level of pettiness, correcting someone on that!!!...

Tia Marie I hope you feel better after that rant!

You’re probably right. So sad for Shannan and her family. I agree about the dynamic between Chris and his mom. I suppose dad is a wimp that does what he’s told.

Eh it’s possible both things occurred. It’s not uncommon for a jilted wife to threaten the husband with never seeing the kids again. Of course, that’s never the wife’s call to make-only a family court judge can decide that. Also, I disagree with others that sate he was a psychopath. Homicidal psychopaths are usually very calculating and plan out their murders very carefully..unlike sociopaths who seem to be more impulsive and sloppy. Also, in that one police cam video where Chris is in his house with the neighbors, Chris seemed very jumpy when the cop radioed into dispatch right in front of him. That’s not common for psychopaths, who usually remain very calm even when a traffic cop wants to search their vehicle and they have a dead body in the trunk (the classic example demonstrating psychopath’s preternatural calm). Definitely a narcissist but I think he’s more of sociopath than a psychopath.

He dug the grave for Shannan at this time I believe.

@@alexblaze8878 From what I have researched, it's psychopaths that are more tilted and it's sociopaths that are more composed.

:(

@@eiffelviolet hmmm, I see sociopaths as being driven to anti-social behavior by their environment (usually a really bad childhood) whereas psychopaths are simply born that way.. I equate sociopaths with being unable to control their anger and lashing out in criminal ways whereas a psychopath can be devoid of anger and still chop you into pieces just for the sheer thrill of it. I could be wrong though.

I believe he probably drugged her the night before, he had already decided to kill them all.???

@@aliciamesa5314 Big possiblity.

Of course it was. No chat, no sex, no talk about their relationship, no rage. He just up & murdered her.

wrath of the lamb But according to his friends he was the one who wanted another child?

@@daphneclifford8684 *watch the video when she surprises him. It's plain to see he is not happy but he fakes it.*

I agree. When you watch his reaction you can see his disappointment then he covers it up very fast because he was being recorded.

Yep! He wanted OUT Not in deeper.
