Shout out to the friend who knew something was wrong and went with her gut.
And kept on police! She went to the house with them and kept raising awareness til he got caug
Thank you she is amazing and without her it would have been harder mabye even worse
For real she knew the very next morning. It’s sad how this monster had this all planned
And to the neighbour with the camera
I feel so sick knowing she stood opposite him in the house (there a CZcams channels that have the body cam footage)
“There’s only one person in this room who knows what the truth is. But in about five minutes, there’s gonna be two of us.” 🔥
I wish she’d asked if anyone else was involved
She killed it with that test!
That gave me chills, that lady is good at her job!!
Except....lie detectors do not work.
They're junk science and typically used as a ploy not an actual tool.
To be fair, everyone suspected him.
I love how the neighbour pretended to be on his side then once he left he told the cops he wasn’t acting normal and never loads his truck often or speaks much, I just love how smart headed the neighbour handled it and how he saw straight through her murderous husbands act.
the neighbour was totally using mind games and making the sitiation more awkward for Chris, it was amazing.
I was thinking that the neighbor and officer should have traded places. That was the first time i ever seen an officer scared to walk into a house where multiple people are suspecting is something is wrong. Officers break in and do welfare checks all the time on people they suspect may be suicidal.
As far as that neighbor is concerned, i was just telling my neighbor last night that although I do not have a connection with any of the neighbors on our block, I am still very observant of them when I do see them.
@@charlesreed5506 I thought the officer did all he could correctly. Viewing it afterwards seems obvious, but not in real time. The officer there'd plenty of evidence without risking breaking anyone's rights at the time
@@TBarr1891 ikr
@@charlesreed5506 Nope. If a cop breaks any law, then the whole case can go down the drain in a court of law.
For eg, had he entered without permission, then the defence lawyer could have and would have argued that the cops were biased against Chris since the beginning, and that they have framed him.
It is a sad reality.
“My daddy is a hero he makes me grow and strong..” “Is mommy going to be okay?..” “what happened to CeCe?...” “Daddy no🥺..”
Oh my days these lines are heartbreaking I cried like a baby can’t even imagine what they were going through at that point
He is the best thing that has ever happened to me... I would do anything for that woman
so sad
Daddy do I have to die as well.
The creepiest thing about this case is we have almost EVERYTHING on tape. Pre-murder life, missing hours/investigation, and post confession. It's nuts.
I know! I feel like this story has been fully if not over-exhausted. We know the truth now... we should allow the family to rest in peace.
so whats the point of this documentary?
@@MrShaiya96 shrug, to pass along the horror to the mainstream I guess and not just the true crime crew.
@@dietdrpepper15 that's pretty much it. With the Gabriel Fernandez case, I had heard about the kid but I didn't know just how bad it was. I know people who don't even really know about the Watts case. The fact that it has so much footage and evidence is enough to know it would get its own documentary.
@@MrShaiya96 just like every crime doc. So that people can notice the signs and report if it happens in their town.
What I learned from this documentary is that people who post how happy and amazing their life is on social media are mostly the most unhappy ones. Social media is always far away from reality
Maybe she was happy. He clearly was not.
thats a fact
Ya, it kinda makes sense.
@@julieelizabeth510 She wasn't happy at all. you clearly didn't watch the documentary.
Exactly what i though!
He probably only shed a tear in court because he realized he ruined his life and wouldn’t be with his new lady. What a cold hearted man...
I really don't get why he didn't just divorce her if he really wanted a new life or something but.. murdering your own children and wife for some other girl?? I really cant understand how he sleeps eats or even breaths knowing what he did
@@iwuvpiesgaming9164 easy... sociopath. He doesnt have emotions, what is so hard to understand about that?
Surprise surprise they are still in contact even though he’s in prison
@@wonderkid7655 where did you read that 🤢 makes me wonder if she knew more than she lead on
@@wonderkid7655 Is that true?????
This guy is the worst liar I've ever seen, he was so obvious, acting calm and not even crying/acting worried.
I knew he was sus I soon as I saw how nervous he was instead of being worried or sad that his kids and wife were missing. I should be a detective. Actually I want to be one.
@@lissethgonzalez7939 go for it
The only moment he cried was when he knew he was busted
Apart from his lack of real concern or worry- I thought he had definitely done it when he showed some duping delight in his tv interview
well he literally just killed his family hours ago so he was still in a state of shock
The neighbor deserves a trophy. He was onto Chris after playing his recorded footage and observing Chris’s body language.
It's a good thing he had that footage. Without it there would have been the possibility of CW saying she left w someone.
Yes and cops didn’t want to listen.
I think he was also a couple houses down when the cops come out to the back deck and ask if they have seen her. And right away- just like you said- he says "What's going on?" You can hear it in his voice, he sensed turmoil. The husband's obsessive working out was a huge red flag I think everyone noticed.
The neighbor is Chris just hasn’t snapped yet.
@@HexagonFL pacing like a caged tiger
This is a true horror documentary , to think that you could be married to a sociopath , sleep next to them , raise kids with them and have not a clue , is scary as hell .
Yes it is. I've been giving my boyfriend the side eye ever since this story broke. You never really know anyone like you think you do. . . 😒😒🤔🤔
This is exactly why I never want to get married. A man will meet a new woman and act like his old woman doesn't even exist.
8 years yo! Howwww
It’s scary indeed. You ultimately don’t know who you marry...same with the dirty John story.
Charlotte Rawlins bc any women can get a man. Very few have the skills to actually keep one
One thing that really irritated me was the fact that social media not only went after her family but they also took Chris’s side saying she drove him to do it. People are disgusting!
Those people are devil incarnate just like him..!!
Misogynists and victim blaming sociopaths. I wanna punch these type of people so bad.
It is normally how a woman acts when she is in love, and wants to avoid the reality she is not loved back.
Ayushi
🙄🙄🙄
Cringe
Exactly!!!!!
When watching this i FELT SO BAD for Shanann. Those little girls had to be in the car with their dead mom for almost a hour and to be killed so the dad can be with his young girlfriend. He was a monster. What pissed me off more is that tried to blame the murder on Shanann, and for those people on facebook to call her a horrible mother before evening knowing the truth. Rip Shanann, Bella, Cece, and the unborn baby Niko
''young girlfriend'' lol Shannon was like 34 and Nichole the gf was 30 herself. It's not like he left his 50 year old wife for a 19 year old, they didn't even have a 5 year age difference between them.
@@elmore707 yeah but the detective called her his young girlfriend
@@desdes777 weird..
@@elmore707 chris even said she was like a younger version of shannan. Literally but possibly also in the way she behaved & she wasn’t a mother
Well I think he knew that when killed Shannan it is no turning back anymore his new plan of a new life is a go so the two kids have to go too. It seems like he don't have proper plan for his murder He just wanted them gone and just decided to do it in that moment, I mean he dump that kids in a oil tank, no one can knew about that if he have a really good strategy or plan of the Murder but he just left Shannan's body in a open area and just bet that the land will just eat her body overtime.
That lie detector lady ain't playing
Yeah, that woman is a legend.
Wait till you see the detectives when they interviewed him. Super interesting channel on CZcams somwhere went through the interview techniques and the police footage used of him going around his house with the police and the neighbour trying to say his wife is missing.
@@chantalhawat2340 jimcantswim is the channel! Love them!
JCS Criminal Psychology’s video on his interrogation is amazing and I’d also like to shout out Derek Van Schaik for doing the same interrogation clips but with body language knowledge to it - he even has raw police footage from the body camera of the cop who went to the house after the neighbours called. That’s a good video too!
@@wonderlust1308 the body language video is really bad though. He over analysing and sometimes instead of explaining a gesture he acts like he's reading Chris's mind
When he mentioned towards the end that Bella had said “Daddy, no.” Shattered my heart. What a sick person.
what part is that at
Yeah just watched this today. That'll probably haunt me forever. What a loser he is.
Tohzn towards the ending
David Z I agree. I hope his wife and daughters are resting in peace 🙏🏽
@@alfaarroo Don't forget the little boy
The fact that the neighbor had the courage to follow his instincts and tell the officer that Chris had never acted like this before, the love these neighbors had for eachother is something else, so sorry for them.
I knew from the very beginning when the cop was investigating he referred to his wife as " She WAS also 15-weeks pregnant" If he truly believed that they ran away or where taken by someone he wouldn't of stated them in past tense. May they all rest in peace. Such a horrible disturbing case.
Never noticed that. Good catch.
Hmm, that could simply meant "She was also 15 weeks pregnant" [at the time of the disappearance]
It’s so crazy how people accidentally tell the truth. Like they’re trying to lie but their brain is autocorrecting their sentences because he knows he should be referring to them in the past tense. Sucks the cop didn’t pick up on that right away
Wow good you noticed that
No, he doesn't. When? You mean at the beginning when he is at the neighbour's house? He says "she's pregnant as well." I just went and checked as that would have been glaringly obvious.
Check it at 13.23 on Netflix.
The neighbor read him like a book at first glance when they watched the surveillance camera. " something's not right with him." Kudos to his instincts as well. And the friend too.
thats was badass
Yes
I was so surprised that his instinct tells him something is not right from the CCTV video, it didn't even show that much!
That was a good guy yet at the end of the documentary they said “most of the killers are men”. Totally unnecessary. Tons of good men out there.
But in domestic violence it's overwhelming men against women
This will always make me think: no matter how much you think you know someone... You may think it's the love of your life... But you don't know what's in their minds...
Exactly. CW was as nornal as they come. Shannan probably didn't suspect anything.
That’s why you gotta marry someone who’s needy and emotional. It’s the quiet ones you have to worry about. 🤣
Anyone is capable of anything!
It went beyond his mind, the evil made it to his heart and soul. Lust one of the 7 deadly sins.
This could happen to anyone, a build up of certain things over a course of years can cause someone to erupt. For example- this man for cared for his wife for 10 years and recently had a breaking point & tried to light her legs on fire - a build up of things can happen to the most normal of people
The way he was almost smiling and talking about the fact that his family was gone. That was freakin creepy.
It’s called a psychopath. Psychopaths get a thrill out of hurting other people. It’s like it fires and feeds their soul
@@Jazztho_ Chris Watts is not a Psychopath, says Forensic Psychologists.
duping delight
I tell my husband all the time that if him or I fall out of love during our marriage, that it's important to divorce peacefully for the sake of the kids. No need to hurt one another. Share the financial obligation of raising children.
Maybe a prenuptial more sensible
Thats Very mature of you. I can respect that for sure
He had an hour to think about Bella and Cece. Yet, he still did it.
@Georgie C and a psychopath.
David Armando Cetz Escalante she was a narcissist. Poor woman? Lol.
Just a psychopath thing, it doesn't matter if you're blood related or a loved one.
these trolls.. you think youre edgy? blaming the victim, the now dead victim. no respect for human life
mon mayor you’re the one with a fake account. Troll. What about her disregard for human life?? I guarantee she tortured him psychologically. They should release ALL the text between them for the entire relationship. Bet we see a pattern of her narcissism. This was a slow deterioration of Chris’s character.
I know everyone is saying they need a friend like Nicole. But how about BEING a friend like Nicole?? If you think someone may need help, help them instead of sitting back and saying "it's not my business". Being a friend like Nicole is what's rare.
Mostly because people like shannan are rare. Shannan had more than one friend messaging her at the time she went missing. She was such a good woman. Too bad she made such a terrible mistake with that piece of crap
I sure anyones thats worried about their friend would do the same.
@@bootscooty She said God sent her Chris, the best father and husband she could have asked for...If there really were a God he wouldnt sent anyone that thing.
Amen!!! I have a friend in pa I'm in North Carolina she needs to get out. She won't go to a DV shelter. She has a baby that will be yr old the 6th of October. Idk know how to help her if she won't call the DV hotline. She has no family that will help in MD.
If you watched the entire documentary, you will see there was no reason to suspect anything wrong, other than perhaps he was cheating. He was always presenting a happy, calm demeanor, no confrontation, and his only issues were with his mother giving Bella (I think) a food from her list of allergies. If you watch the tapes of the messaging between them, one would think he was the one being abused.
I watched the show and I was shocked to hear about those who called Shanan narsissist and blame her for what her husband did...people are sick.
Evil sympathizes with evil.
Women always get blamed when they’re killed, it’s sick
Victim blaming to woman is everywhere you know
Open your eyes. I’m not prejudiced and came into the story thinking thinking the same way YOU do. After three or four documentaries I saw who was at fault. It wasn’t Chris! She was a narcissistic control freak and Chris could take it no more. I’m not a hysterical emotional individual I am quiet and have an analytical mind and a high IQ (Mensa) I’m just telling you what I have perceived about this tragic affair
"Is CeCe ok?"
"Daddy no"
That broke me
Moral of the story never accept that creepy friend request
L V naw, the husband was equally a monster like the wife.
Cornell G are you nuts? Youre prolly one of those creepy guys who send out friend requests. How dare you?! Regardless of how she was in their married life its not an excuse to murder her and their kids!!!!
Cornell G you are nuts
Cornell G Wtf that doesn’t mean he can murder her
@@CornellG your sick.
He wiped off his whole family and went on with his life like nothing happened. Horrendous!
what did he do with the bods
@@2000rayc he dropped the girls in like a oil tank or something, and left them there until he lead the police back to them
@@2000rayc he pushed the 2 little girls in the oil tanks and barried his pregnant wife it was horrendous the older girl knew her father was killing her younger sister and tried to fight back while her father killed her later on also
@@beyzaerol7955 fck. that's so sad! why do people easily do that to kids? they deserve to live, also the mother. ☹️
I mean what else can you do in that situation
Shanann looks so lovely. She's really pretty and looks like a really caring and lovely moms and wife. He didn't know what he had until he lost it. He's a monster.
Agree, I like her too.. She was a good person in need of love.
She looks like a boring wife and mother but still she didn't deserve to die like that
I don’t think people realise how hard it is to make a documentary without having clips of being interviewed after the event. Huge respect to creators for taking you through the story as it happened.
The day nosy neighbors did a goodie, for once.
They're best friends
It was one of her best friends
@@cloudyskies2287 Ahh what about the neighbour with the security cameras??
@NillyC The friend that called the police wasn't a neighbor.
He means the next door neighbor that gave video footage of Chris loading the bodies...it didn't actually show the bodies, but it showed Chris loading something in his car the night before. There was also (what looked to be like) a woman with him. Mistress perhaps? We'll never know.
It’s horrifying to know that monsters like him exist.
Its just makes me paranoid about how we just cant trust anyone. He was her husband, the father of her kids, and still he did such monstrous act.
Even worse when that monster live inside your home.
it is more horrifying
that a monster like this guy gets a movie. dang america!
he should be sent to Guatemala prison and should be kept with dangerous prisoners entire life time sharing same room, no electric chair, no lethal injection...
@@jemceevee2297 well good for him, now the world knows of his horrifying inhumane act. But seriously, this movie/documentary only serves as an awareness that situations like this do really happens.
When the whole town was looking for them, why did the school not contact the police, since he disenrolled his kids?
good point
I did not think about that at all. That's a good point! Now I can't get away from this thought :(
@@darisfajarramadhan7572 yeah I mean the school must have heard that those kids were missing right?
Whole town was talking about it
FBI, the CBI everyone knew about his gf and what all he did from before he confessed, they were just waiting for him to confess.
I thought about that too, and why didn’t the realtor reveal anything
is nobody talking about how he kiled his kids???? He put them in a 20 ft oil tank with their fav blankies on theyre head. And his daughters were like "no daddy please" like wtf
Did you not see it he suffocated them first?
@@Erik-lc3ut no he didn't. The kids were still alive when he drove to the place.
@@mentos93 Chris himself has said multiple versions of which happened first.which is not a surprise considering that he is a pathological liar. I guess we'll never quite know
One girl in each tank, as for that even in death they could not be together. This man is the devil.
One thing confused me is why Chris choosed to struggly damped his children in the oil tank rather than buried them just like what he did to his wife?
I mean there could still be many other lies he made about the cronology 🤔
"We forgive you, son"
How could she say those words in front of everyone? She is unbelievable.
JudeWiz 🤮
She raised a psyho murderer. It's her genes. She thinks it's just ok.
JudeWiz motherly love my ass, dont insult motherly love like that, i know for a fact my mom would disown me and never forgive me if i would do something sick like that
@JudeWiz forgiveness isn't HERS to give smh it's Shannan's family to give.
@JudeWiz But it is about the family thou, they didn't even like Shannan and they come up and say "It's okay, we love you and forgive you" Forgive him for what, exactly? They didn't like her, and they weren't permited to see their grandkids because of their irresponsibility and almost Killing one of them! or didn't you see how the father reacted when he confessed in the interrogation room? He didn't seem upset at all!
I can't believe that his mother, the grandmother of those children, is like: " naah...it's ok. We forgive you, son." No wonder her son is a monster!
His mother tried giving cece ice cream she was allergic to like wtf !
i can't believe it too :(
IKR! His whole family was disgusting.
It certainly did sound like zero accountability.
Right.
This is the most spine chilling massacre I have ever seen. What a cruel monster. Him receiving love letters and fan mail in jail is really disgusting !
seriously he gets love letters? lol.. we deserve coronavirus, i hope all this human trash gets it... if only the virus picked the stupid ones, who are useless to society
Love letters!????? People are sickkkk!!!
I considered myself a loving, caring person and I don't received love letters wtf
@@Nicolinka19 well said. some people are really sick and disgusting.
Yes it is even Ted Bundy was allowed to get a woman pregnant while in prison he was dating.
Can’t lie as a grown man, hearing him talk about his little girls and what happened ripped my heart. Those kids didn’t deserve that, neither his wife. Rest In Peace
Same here. I cant sleep.
We all need friends like Shannan's friend and neighbors like the guy with the surveillance system.
I know the neighbor thought he did it all along !!!
Right?! Such a good friend
And we all need to be!
@@delhaney11 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
EvilEddy not sure if you’ve seen the original video of the cop’s body cam but what’s even more impressive is how the neighbor really used his investigative skills to read that monster’s body language while watching the surviellance footage and report it to the officer
I was sick to my stomach for a week when I heard about this story... And how he disposed of them. It was 4 murders because I count her unborn baby boy too. She was so happy they were having a boy... had a name and everything prepared 😭
the 1 cause of death for pregnant woman in america is homicide
Thank YOU🤝🏽 FOR SHARING🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@morsecode9787 it's actually terrible I I was so shocked when I read that in med school cuz you have to look at like the primary cause of death for certain groups and when it said pregnant woman's number one cause of death was homicide it just ... too much :(
@@jodirook71 You think thats bad, wait until you hear the animal murder stats. 10 times over... oh wait, you dont care. I forgot
He wasn't happy she was pregnant again. Mainly because they were over 100k in debt
You never know what’s going on inside someone’s head, that’s the scariest part. Someone closest to you can be the nicest person ever and in an instant they can become an absolute monster
A similar case happened here in Italy some years ago, a man stabbed to death his wife and their two children because he was in love with another woman and simply wanted to "erase" his whole family. When policemen asked him why not just divorce he said "the children remain", which is horrific. These men have no feelings, no empathy. They are sick monsters
What affair is that?
The statistics at the end, "In America, 3 women are murdered by their current or ex partners every day." I will stay single.
Can t be True !! ...
Hans that's absolutely not it. stop blaming women. maybe those asshole guys shouldn't be murderers or abusers.
@Hans you r/niceguys are usally the ones to go batshit crazy when a woman doesn't behave like a slave to you. Grow up little boy
@Hans how about we respect women's decisions and stop acting like an asshole?

To me, the most amazing part of this story is that Chris thought that he would get away with it. How? He is home alone with his family and in the middle of the night he strangles his wife, suffocates his children and dumps the bodies where he works. His wife’s car and phone are still in the home and when asked the next day by friends, news media and law enforcement where his family is, he simply says “I have no idea.”
Didn’t he realize that a pregnant woman suddenly vanishing without a trace with her two small daughters would be treated as a homicide? Didn’t he realize that he would be the prime suspect, since he was the last person to see the victims and he was their closest relative? Didn’t he realize that his wife’s body would quickly be found in a shallow grave at his work site? Didn’t he realize that subpoenaed phone records would quickly reveal his affair with Kessinger?
What on earth was his plan? Was he brain dead? Seriously, what is this man’s IQ? I haven’t heard answers to this.
Murder happens every day, even the murder of children by their parents. The mystery here is: What was he thinking?
Yup... As dumb as evil.
Most of the people die to get what this guy already had. Daughters are blessings. You monster. i'm out of words.
It's hard to believe this was two years ago.
Two years ago?! Omg I thought it was maybe last year. The pandemic has really destroyed my sense of time. The story still makes me sick, I don’t even know if I’ll be able to watch this.
Your so right..it's hard to believe this even happened to such a perfect family over a girl who would of dumped Chris as soon as the next man came a long..
wow, felt like 3 months ago or something ..
yup, 2 years ago and i google it..
@@SanDiegoAREA51 right 😧😭

More evil than John Wayne Gacy? Jeffrey Dahmer? And Ted Bundy?
It’s right on up there w the lacy Peterson case,if your old enough to know bout that one.
@@rejector7126 Evil on the level of Chris Watts, John Wayne Gacy, Jeffry Dahmer and Ted Bundy is unquantifiable. Those four unspeakable sub-human murderers caused suffering on a massive scale. Why do you want to make it a competition, and somehow declare one of those killers better or worse than another? Every one of them is off the scale cruel, ruthless, self serving and evil!
Are you suggesting a murderer like Chris Watts who killed his own family - a defenceless pregnant woman and two children who loved and trusted him - is in any way morally superior to Gacy, Dahmer and Bundy who murdered strangers for sexual kicks? All of those murders were ruthless, premeditated acts of evil against innocent victims.
There is an argument to be made that a domestic killer who targets his own family, as Chris Watts did, is more evil than a serial killer who targets strangers, because the victims' love and trust for the domestic killer makes his violence a far bigger betrayal.
But I believe when you plumb these depths of evil, it's impossible - and pointless - to argue one murderer is better or worse than another.
"I went through one of the darkest time of my life and then i met Chris. He's the best thing that ever happened to me." 😭😭
Biggest scam
I notice every woman says that about the men that killed them so sad I vow to never date while in a dark place
I did even know this woman...but by looking at all the pictures and how she loved her kids. ..I knew she wouldn't do anything to hurt her kids
I don’t think anyone believed him when he accused her of killing her kids
Did you see that during the interrogation, the polygraph lady said "did Shanan hurt the kids" or something like that to make him confess? After he called his dad, he "used" that idea to make him seems innocent. The next thing he said is "what's going to happen to me?" Like this piece of shit still thinks he wants to get away with lighter sentence or something to be with his new girl. No one buys it, he never cared about the kids.

He killed his daughters and pregnant wife, lied to everyone and pretended to be concerned during the investigation. And continually lied. Sick. So sick.
Mainly those poor girls. I remember hearing his interview on how he killed those poor girls and it just breaks hearts...... He's a monster that needs to go through hell in prison
The only thing he was concerned about was himself. He wasn’t even good at pretending to be concerned about his family, who he didn’t deserve AT ALL!
He accused the wife he had murdered to have murdered their children, smh. A psycho.
He actually did NOT seem concerned during the investigation. 😧
@@daughterofolaf not in the slightest

What'd it called?

That's like Chris' 2nd account of what happened..he has changed his story many times till now, so we don't know what's the truth..he is a psychopath he probably gets a high everytime he tells different versions of the crime.
This story is awful. Its creepy how such a normal man killed his whole family and was texting and doing things like normal with no regret or grief days after.
There is no such thing as a "normal" man. Maybe you mean "unassuming"?
He killd his wife n kids?
@@ariffarafat-Bangladesh yes he did
Normal? Nobody is normal. I agree with the word unassuming too or unremarkable
Spoiler Alert!
What really got him to confess was when the detectives suggested that he killed her only because she killed the kids first. In his mind this would allow him to justify his actions and maybe get some sort of sympathy from everyone....psychology at its finest folks.
1000% true.I thought I had judged him too fast when I thought he stole the idea of the detective in his favour.Oh no!Doesn't work that way Chris Watts.God opened his mouth for more confessions👏👏👏👏
Chris is so stupid. The detectives played him like a fiddle, like he literally couldn’t see they were manipulating him.
And it’s so disgusting how he was able to blame his DEAD wife that he choked with his own bare hands for the murder of his 2 beautiful children that he smothered with the help of their favorite blankets. It’s crazy how somebody you trust and have been married to for 8 years can be such a disgusting monster. Gives me trust issues.
Can't believe people actually believed him and started attacking the wife's family non-stop. Those same ones are probably within this comment section
S I truly think some part of him wanted to get caught or confess. His plan was too poorly thought out. A lot of people really do subconsciously want to get caught. All of his actions like planning to sell the house the day of the murder, etc, just seem so stupid for him to have really thought he could get away with it.
Imagine having everything you could ever need to be happy, and ruining it.
Or not having everything he wanted (clearly he wanted something else at the time) but ruining his whole life instead of divorcing
I guess he was unhappy but yeah.. divorce. Just get a divorce
What is also tragic is the amount of wasted time spent on mobile devices and social media platforms.
Every moment may have been filmed, but the question remains: what moments were actually felt?
The polygraph lady is a badass
Right? i wish i could have that job but i'd leap across the table and go batshit on them
But she did lie about polygraph results proving absolute guilt or innocence. They don't, but most people don't know this. They're not even admissable in court because they have never been proven 100% accurate. The cops (and this woman) use people's ignorance to their own advantage. That is not badass.
Mary Valletta Keith I was thinking the same thing when she said that .I think she knew that and was trying to trick him because they already knew he lied about having an affair.
I don't mind a guy who dropped his children into an oil vat being tricked into confessing.
@@maryvallettakeith6146 Not her fault he was too stupid to take the test and not ask for a lawyer.
The weirdest thing about this is that the guy looks like a regular normal guy, and looks like he lived a regular normal life up to that point.
He was on complete autopilot- he’s like those sociopaths who mimic regular behavior - you can see it in his eyes when he was playing Santa and didn’t pay attention to his wife, preferred to do push ups instead of talking with her, completely “forgets” to call his kids for 5 weeks when they are away etc... that’s his real self right then. People who cheat usually are super careful and take extra precautions not to be caught and to spare feelings/hurt. That guy did none of that.
Really? Looks like a douche to me. They are everywhere taking all our women
Demons took over him is what i think,selfish cheating bastard!!
Every since I watched it, can not stop thinking about this poor woman and her babies 💔 😢
That is why this case blew up. Everyone knew him as quiet and just a regular father. It shook everyone because he was so non confrontational until the murders
I knew someone who worked with murderers in prison. He said that what is quite striking is how many seem like regular people given the horrific things they have done.
"Happy" on social media SCREAMS cover up to a very unhappy life. True happiness is anti-social media. When my hubby & I started getting serious, I straight out told him I deleted my Facebook 3 years ago & if you want this to work, you will delete yours too. We've been happily together & married for 7 years now & we don't have to blast it for the world to see on social media. We keep private & a small circle of family & friends. Facebook "friends" are not real friends
I agree. Not every people added on social media are really your friends.
Well according to me this isn't a guarantee of a happy relationship , millions of women share their lives on social media but not everyone's husband turns out to be a serial killer and even if Shannon wasn't that active on social media, Chris still would have met Nicole ,still would have dated her and still would have m*rdered his entire family cuz he was in 'love' (according to his search history) .So ,no man just annihilate his entire family just cuz his wife is a oversharer , he do that cuz there's something really horribly wrong with his brain and mama's boy can't handle real life . So your comment on this video is an insult to Shannon life and also to the lives of her three kids who weren't on 'Facebook' which according to you is the premise of a healthy relationship and i guess staying alive too?! .
RIP Shannon Belle CeCe Niko.
you shouldn't have told ur husband what HE has to do with HIS social media :/
@@khyatisingh2121 Excluding the murdering part, the marriage was obviously not a happy one despite what she posted online. She was constantly questioning him and lacked attention and he was out cheating on her. I think that's her point, and I agree. The people that post their "happy marriage" online for everyone to see are often miserable in it. She was miserable, if she wasn't she wouldn't be constantly crying because he rejected her.
I think this is somewhat true. I’m sure there are plenty of exceptions but happy people for the most part are out living their lives and enjoying themselves and not wasting their time posting on the internet. A lot of times I have plans to post pictures on Instagram but it just doesn’t happen because I’m too busy enjoying my family.
Gosh, when he started describing how he smothered his kids I literally couldn't breathe... omg. Shocking
It's disturbing AF to see the videos of him interacting with his daughters, knowing what he did to them
Yes the song where Bella says her dad was her hero really grosses me out now.
That’s what’s scares me as he seems genuinely loving to the kids it makes u wonder about other parents around u is it all an act to some people
Why didnt he let his daughters live.Why killi them as well.I mean he could have just said she left him,it would have been the same outcome of course but the little girls would still be alive,I just dont see why he needed to take their lives as well.
tbh bro, i just keep overthinking it like 4 hours now after watch the documentary
Wonder why he started watching a video of them during interrogation break... 😾
I can’t believe how many comments are blaming Shannan! Shameful! May her and her babies RIP.
Lemon Squire To me, it’s just plain out misogyny .
people are sick. they want to blame a dead woman while her family is going through hell.
Haven't found one yet, but Shannan was a good ass woman. She reminded me of myself when I was trying so hard to keep things together. I just don't get people, should be more honest
A relationship is not a one way street. Chris was definitely a psychopath but lets not act like Shannan wasn’t a problem either, she herself was a psycho aswell.
I can’t imagine being a person like that. I mean can we just think about that for a minute? Justifying murder because someone is being mean or whatever they think she was. Well I say those people are being mean and I guess we know what they deserve..., no empathy for them either.
Can someone explain to me what was Chriss' plan? Did he really think that the bodies will never be discovered.... in his work place? Not only this crime is horrendous, but it's also super super dumb. I don't understand what the long term plan was, it just doesn't make any sense.
There was no long time plan. I dont think he even planned the murders, he may have thought about it in the week or 2 leading up to it but the act itself was a heat of the moment thing hence all the mistakes, personal belongings at home, car in garage etc
For the most part, 7 odd years he was a loving father and husband and that's the sad part, how quickly things changed towards the end although I do feel that it was also a case of smaller things mustering and building over time. Like the constant live streaming, the belittling little remarks on the videos, financial difficulties etc.
@@arcticmonkey4326 He let the devil in, that's what happened. No excuses, he let evil in.
Yeah i think one of the weirdest part is why Chris choosed to struggly damped his children in the oil tank rather than buried them just like what he did to his wife?
I mean there could still be many other lies he made about the cronology 🤔
He planned it for a month. He knew what he was going to do to his family that weekend. He smothered Bella and cece before shanann got home. But he said they woke up traumatised. He said he put the children in oil tanks to make sure they didn't get up. This is nothing but pure evil. Work of the devil.
i knew about this story pretty well, but watching this documentary & watching all the videos of the wife & kids... just broke me. so heartbreaking. haven’t been able to stop thinking about this since i watched it :(
This case still haunts me to this day. Those poor babies. 🥺
You and me both...so so sad 😢 omg how could Chris do this over a girlfriend
Its like the shining without the happy ending!
same 🤯
Me too!!!
Netflix is pedo.phile
Shame on netflix
Shame on movie "cuties"
I find the footage of Shannan walking through her front door for the last time so haunting. She was eager to get inside, see her babies, speak to her husband and sleep in her own bed, completely oblivious of the fate awaiting her. Every time I see it I can't help thinking...Don't go inside, please don't go inside. Imagining the horror that poor woman and her children went through breaks my heart.
And her friend is waiting in her car to see her get in safely. So disturbing
He was drugging her as well
we witnessed her last time “coming home” I’ll never forget this sweet womans face or those little ones😔
@@kari8187 The irony is the first time we see her in the film is also the last time we see her alive.
When they added the part about the neighbor having doubts, I knew something wasn't right. Because why leave that in there?
David Z I’ve watched this case since she went “missing” stumbled upon the news sherry online. As soon as I watched his tv interviews and he was grinning I said to my roommate, “oh my god he did something to her “ , next day he confesses. Holy shit it’s chilling.
Its scary to know that no matter how much you think you know somebody.... someone who its close to you ... Your husband could be a Chris Watts
All the facts
Yes, but only if you fail to notice all of the Red Flags.
I watched it on Friday night. Cried my eyes out. 💔😭😭😭
R.I.P Shanan, CeCe and Bella Watts! 😭💔
And Nico
@@carolineharty oh yes!!
Correction now "he was the worst thing that happened in your life"😭😭😭
Lol you're a bitch for that. Totally unnecessary comment 🤣
You are right! The worst thing that has ever happened to this woman
Forrester Nickacia I am aware this is my family. I am her cousin.
@@interceptingfist5682 he killed her and her 3 kids ,so yes he his the worst thing that happened in her life....🙄🙄🙄
Intercepting Fist A bitch for saying the truth? Strange take.
I love the neighbor who said he's not acting right at all and waited for him to leave and pointed at out to the cop.. but those girls.. when u know from the start of the doc something horrible will happen to them its just.. gut wrenching 😢
I didn’t know, so I was shocked & sickened.. I couldn’t even sleep last night 😢
Sad
As soon as the documentary went to him killing his daughters I turned it off, i don't like children dying
I know, horrible! Why is Watts still alive in prison?
But did you see the cops just rejected and defends him after the neighbor said he was acting funny
The Fact He Looked like Such a Great Dad which Make It even SCARIER 😢 Looks are SO FREAKIN DECEIVING
The incredible neighbor and friend. They should be recognized by the Police for great citizens.
I mean...the moment he gave that interview on the front porch and he wasn't shedding a tear or freaking out that his daughters and wife were missing sorta tells you he might of done it
Not sort of tell u definitely told everyone he was involved
He even smiled during the interview
When he got out the truck, took him forever to open the door. I would've been falling down running to the door
I dunno,I’ve seen lots of crimes where the real murderers are balling they’re eyes out
In some cases people lose their sanity due to loved ones being lost and or just loose emotion
Agree he is so calm in a weird way. It is like his movements doesn't have any urge at all or not in rush to find out where his family current location in that moment it looks like it happens all time that his family will just suddenly vanished in the early part of the morning without him worrying about it.
The scariest thing about this whole ordeal is that you would have never thought this about him just by looking at him before all this. He seemed like a normal husband/daddy. So scary.
Yes it is very scary. How can we tell whether a person is normal or not, before they do these crimes? That's what is really disturbing.. Because he was a normal father , husband , you've seen how he interacted with the kids... I mean anyone psychologist here? We need to know how to spot a person who "CAN" do these heinous crimes.... That should be now the subject so that the lives of those taken (in this case wife and the children) not put into waste.
He seemed so loving in the videos she’s posted. Even excited about his new baby boy. He had his life all panned out for him, a great paying job, a nice spacious house, great friends and neighbors, beautiful children, yet he felt the need to eliminate them all just because he wanted a new life. A sicko.
and thats why i never want to be married
I think thats why it also makes the case interesting to so many people, because he seemed so normal. Just your everyday next door neighbor with their family.
That's where people say "It's the quiet ones that you have to fear, not the loud ones".
The way Chris was so obviously restless when the neighbour showed them the surveillance footage, I knew immediately it was him..
She lost her life the moment she accepted Christopher's Facebook friend request, she brought two beautiful kids and the third was on the way but that accept click on facebook leaded to this. RIP ❤️
"My daddy is a hero" - Bella Watts
"He is a best thing what ever happened to me" - Shanann Watts
They loved him so much. How could he?
Narcissism
Devil took over him
And the little girl even beg for her life .. "No daddy ...pleaseee..... those word I remember when come to this case 😭
WTF is up with all these sex site girls commenting. This is not normal 🤔
because he has no emotions. he’s a psychopath.
What this awful human did to his wife and his girls is sickening.
But she cheated on him
Melanie Pfälzer that doesn’t mean he should murder his pregnant wife and children Melanie
Charl Loveland sure but i can Unterstand his decision
Melanie Pfälzer WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU
@@melaniepfalzer5503 you're disgusting human being, he killed his children and unborn child then you will say you understand why he did it?. what the hell.
It still hurts.... Even God shook His head and cried that day :(
I remember learning about this in my forensics class last year and watching the footage of the husband watching security footage and talking to officers. Crazy
Everyone needs a good friend like nicole, and Nate . They cracked this case wide open. Thank you Nicole, and Nate for the video.
She wasn’t the neighbour. She wasn’t nosy. She is Shannan’s best friend
@Classy & Sassy So great that the neighbor had the videos! Definitely important part of the evidence.
Everyone keeps saying they need a friend like Nicole. But how about BEING a friend like Nicole?? That's a lot harder and a lot more rare. No one wants to get involved ever and be proactive in helping their friends.
It's scary to know that someone could do this to their own children. Killing your wife is bad enough.
Exactly. Making every woman look at their man with a serious side eye 😒😒🤔🤔
Can understand the wife!! What a bitch
@@wexfordrob I agree she wasn't the angel ppl are making her out to be.
@@wexfordrob there's this thing called divorce
St Li Yeah divorce should have been the answer and not killing everyone in the family. But if you were in his shoes, knowing that the marriage is going downhill and admitting to having an affair just for your wife to say you are never going to see the kids ever again would make any man lose his shit in that moment. I mean she was so bloodthirsty about his parents accidentally feeding their daughter allergic food. She went hellbent in hating her in laws for a simple mistake. I’m pretty sure she was a narcissist who would make someone’s life miserable if it didn’t go her way. And when I think about divorces in America, the wife usually wins custody of the kids (her Facebook proves she loves them dearly) so I’m sure he knew she would do everything in her power to make sure he never saw his kids. She poured gasoline on the fire thinking she wasn’t gonna get burned.
I would never forgive my brother if he killed my nephew's. I wouldn't consider him my brother anymore.
I will never understand how his parents could forgive him. Even if they hated his wife. He killed his own children. Ask for a divorce if you are unhappy.
Living with that man for 8 years.... Having two children and being pregnant with another one with him, and not having A SLIGHTEST idea that that same guy you think is your soulmate and "you're willing to fight for until you die" is going to murder you.... I am shocked with how many years of seemengly normal life it takes for a pshycopath to reveal himself. Atrocious, sad, no words needed.
My heart is aching for these three innocent lives.
She was pregnant, he murdered his wife, two beautiful daughter, and a unborn child
Mgz _ oh shut the hell up that’s completely different don’t compare this to an abortion!
Right
Mgz _ maybe because it wasn’t by choice and it was murder ... just a hunch .
Which is so insane! Like how could you do that!
@@mgz_5482 How in the hell does someone like you make it through life with no common sense.
Mr.Watts should be forced to hear his daughter singing “my daddy is my hero” in his cell for the rest of his pathetic life
He doesn't deserve to hear his daughters voice anymore.
@@MySUNNNNY I think the point is him hearing it will remind himself of killing her everyday for the rest of the life that he took away his little girls poor, innocent lives.
Do you not understand that he wouldn't care? Some people don't have empathy, and to even do what he did you have to have no empathy. He doesn't care what he did he's just mad he got caught and ruined his own life
I hope he rots in that cell
@@rainydayinparis yeah it's true, a normal person usually take a suicide after killing a whole family member. Feeling very guilty, stress and depressed come shortly after done it, and make them commit suicide. But that's only happen in a normal person, but this man is pure Psychopath
She should've kept rejecting him😒 this is so sad😔😔😥😥😢😢
1:39 the way she looks at the camera at the same time of the beat gave me goosebumps!
Seeing him with his daughters makes me sick to my stomach knowing what he did to them
Yeah he didn’t truly love them and that’s heart breaking
I can’t understand it. I can’t wrap my head around this.
@@keitafoxy7428 you can't wrap your head around it because you're a real human being with empathy and compassion. whereas CW is a "thing". He's not human.
In the documentary, it shows Shanann and her family saying "Chris is the greatest thing thats ever happened to her", at their wedding.
Its disturbing how wrong they were.
& right then & there Christ family didn't went to the wedding 'red flag'
I know its disturbing but who knew about it
that was long time ago
When I was looking at that scene, it felt like her family actually didn't like him either and were just faking the funk. Shanann was looking like she knew they were just saying that probably because she told them to so they would look like the better set of parents even more since his parents kept it real and didn't go to that farce at all.
She said "God couldnt have sent me a better husband and father" Wow those words are haunting.
@@2ak256 Of course nobody could have known.But thats not the point ...in hindsight those words are very disturbing.
Whoever hasn’t watched this movie. You have to. It is so emotional. It gives so much insight on how premeditated this was and how sick this was. I felt sick through the whole movie.
The part where her brother spoke in court, really breaks my heart 💔🥺.
In the end his mom says we forgive you, like he needs their forgiveness and not of the parents whose daughter and granddaughters were murdered in coldblood!
Exactly what I was thinking. His mom saying that really pissed me off.
Yes, listening to that made me sick to my stomach.
orangedrone she used to hate his wife
@@marzipan9292 She can forgive her own son. It’s her right.
@Georgie C Georgie her son killed her two grand daughters...that’s what she forgave him for. Your analogy doesn’t even make sense.
I think about this story every now and then and I still can’t understand why why and why.
I think about this case pretty often too. I don’t know why it haunts me so much.
Yes! normally I can tell by a man's eyes if he's evil, this guy was just so not the type imo
He is a selfish and arrogant loser thats why
Could u tell me what really happened .
ANJALI S NAIR he basically murdered his wife and children got rid of their bodies and then pretended that he didn’t know where they went... he went on national tv crying fake tears, acting all stressed when in reality he knew everything. There’s a lot of documentaries about it on CZcams and now on Netflix too
After watching this it makes you realise that reality is far more chilling and horrifying than any movie ever could. As a father and husband myself my head can't comprehend something like this
Just horrible that there are people like this in the world. What kind of monster would do that?
Broke my heart when he recalled one of his daughter's saying "Daddy,no"
@Iron Fist lets not make this a race thing lol
Omg,my heart broke. I don't think I can watch this.
@Iron Fist Atleast he had a daughter.
Black guy would abandon first.
@@ishandebtula554 i would rather my dad not be here than him murder my family
nadima k god damn son.
This is the only Netflix documentary that I'm not sure I'll be able to watch. The fact he murdered the wife was hard enough, but the children as well just really broke my heart
Same here. I was tearing up and shaking just watching this trailer.
She was pregnant too
@@ameera5914 Yeah, with little Nico. Chris was a monster!
Please no spoiler.
...and then went to work.
How could he go from loving and laughing with his family to killing them all? Insane . This case makes my body ache
What hurts is , those poor kids , got their life taken away even before they get to feel or enjoy what life is. Hope they're at peace.
