I think he took the lives of his family for the age old reasons: lust and money. Not because of financial stress, but because of greed. He lied to the police about the amount of life insurance he'd taken out through his work on his wife and on each of the girls. The real amount came out when his parents laid claim to it and got some. The house was already going up for sale before the kiIIings, with FB messages between his wife and the realtor talking about downsizing and needing somewhere not too far from CW's work. He phoned the realtor while his little girls were lying in crude oil right beside him, which speaks volumes. And his admission that he took the wedding ring off his deceased wife, plus his mistress stating he asked her what she thought it was worth (the same day as he disposed of his family) tells me that he not only saw money as more important than his family, but he also is devoid of any remorse. His family were objects in his way.
Yes, it seems weird that they didn't investigate her much. I heard they didn't even search her apartment, which is where they both spent most of their time together.
I thought about this today. And if she was in on it(I dont belive it one second) - but if. Then he is not as introverted as psychological profiles of him have stated. And hes psychology gets more sinister with dragging another person with him. This is an intressting book about familiocide and why some do it. This is written about this book. I think that Chris Watts fitts into this: «Why does familicide appear to be on the rise? In Familicidal Hearts, award-winning author and sociologist Neil Websdale uncovers the stories behind 196 male and 15 female perpetrators of this shocking offense, situating their emotional styles on a continuum, from the livid coercive to the civil reputable. With highly detailed and riveting case studies, Websdale explores the pivotal roles of shame, rage, fear, anxiety, and depression in the lives and crimes of the killers. His analysis demonstrates how internal emotional conflict, against a backdrop of societal pressures, is at the root of familicide, challenging the widely accepted argument that murderers kill family members to assert power and control. Websdale contends instead that most perpetrators struggle with intense shame, many sensing that they failed to live up to the demands of modern gender prescriptions, as fathers and lovers, wives and mothers. What emerges is a compelling theory about the haunting effects of modern emotional struggles on perpetrators, controlling and upstanding alike. Captivatingly written and expertly researched, this provocative book weaves a gripping tale of modern-era "haunted hearts." Blending the social, the historical, and the emotional into a new way of making sense of a horrific crime, Familicidal Hearts is a provocative meditation on gender roles, social forces, and modern life itself.»
friends of Shann'ann said he was nice and genuine. he suddenly changed and im so sure is cos of nicole. Chris said it himself, he got tired of being married and wanted to be free again. he was so mad and hated his wife at that point he just did it. he should have given her a divorce and walk away. sad story. poor kids and wife had to face the consequence of his affair. i feel so sorry mostly for the two kids. just not fair

I’m mad Nikole got away without ever being looked into.

I agree with you. There are too many things that point towards her having more involvement

This still infuriates me. RIP to those poor souls. It's almost as if he's never heard of the word divorce. So unnecessary and heartless.

I want to know where those clothes are that he was wearing in Nate's security camera. He came back that same day in different clothes.
I imagine he trashed them but have no idea. Maybe was with sheets?
I was hoping you'd cover this while in Colorado! Well done!
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed:)!
Fayettenam!
Hell on earth lol!
