Megyn at 35:18 talks about him being so dumb because he left his wife's purse, keys, shoes and car at home. I think it's quite probable he planned to come home after work and take care of those things to make it seem like she left with the kids. He thought he had more time before anybody discovered they were gone. But Shanann's friend called the police while he was at work and foiled his plan.

Atkinson had called Chris first & he told her he’s on his way home & don’t call the cops. She called the cops anyway because he didn’t show up & there were too many clues-car was still in garage, her favorite shoes were next to the front door, she didn’t show up at the doctor’s, etc. Chris was so stupid-he canceled the girls school that morning & called the realtor to put house on sale that same morning. Even if he was able to retrieve her phone, clean up, etc.-his actions of canceling school & putting house on sale without the realtor talking to Shan’ann also. His neighbor knew Chris never parked in the driveway because the garage door makes too much noise & wakes the girls up. The police brought cadaver dogs to check the house but never checked his truck? He didn’t want any entanglements with kids & had to rid of them & start over with Nikki.

He did not count on her friend being so insistent on finding her and notifying the police, she knew immediately after entering the house that something was wrong! He thought he had all the time he needed to cover things up. Her friend was her hero.

I don't think he hated his wife. I think he was perfectly happy with her until he was seduced by Kessinger. Nicole Kessinger totally sought him out. I also believe she was in some sort of dark cult. I think Shanann was his first really serious relationship, and they went right into marriage and babies and lots of debt. I think he was blown away by the experiences he had with Kessinger. It was all the things he loved to do, like baseball games and car shows and also all the things he had never done, like camping and surfing at the dunes. Kessinger was showing him a simple, carefree lifestyle where materialistic things didn't matter. He was so stressed about debt and paying for his fancy house and fancy thing that he was swept off his feet by the idea of what life with Kessinger would be. She didn't care about having a big fancy house. She didn't need a Lexus. It's almost like he was possessed. I don't think he realized he might want something different until he tried something different. Also, he was chubby and not so attractive when he was dating Shanann and when they got married. His muscular, fit body was pretty new. I don't think he was used to women looking at him twice. Physically, Shanann was way out of his league. It's is kind of creepy how similar the two women looked. He definitely has a type.

My sister dated a guy (Bill) in high school for 2 years…our families were friends. After they stopped dating they all remained friends. Even After both My sister & her ex-boyfriend we’re married they all remained friends. The ex boyfriend’s parents had an annual Christmas party for years …by this time both couples had been married 30 years (had grown children & grandchildren). Then Bill ( a favorite school teacher of 16 years at the same school) had an affair with a co worker. Bill’s wife found out & the affair ended (supposedly) but 6 months later when it was found out that the affair hadn’t ended- Bill’s wife decided to file for divorce ( she had kept it a secret but had confided to a couple friends in which one was her neighbor… And when she planned to tell Bill, she had texted with The Neighbor and said I’m gonna tell him… A couple hours later the ambulance pulled up, and the neighbor was concerned and found out that Bill had shoved his wife down the steps, and said he that she tripped at the story fell apart. There was bruising around her neck, where she had been strangled, and then thrown down the stairs…then on several computers he had done multiple searches on how to kill your spouse. He is currently in prison. You just never know😱

He was normal, that’s what’s scary. Also, i know everyone needs some 100% answer as to why but Chris told and showed you all on your that interrogation tape. As they broke him and he admitted one of the first things he said was “please don’t think I’m this horrible person” he’s been so soulless his entire life that his abnormal and psychotic self worth was entirely weighted in how others viewed him. Therefore rather than the shame and embarrassment he’d get from cheating and leaving his preg wife and kids it was profoundly easier to have them not be alive than to know what a liar and fraud he was.

He was a mama's boy. The fact that his parents didnt go to their wedding, the fact that they ignored Cece's allergies is a huge red flag. He's their golden boy and thinks his actions can be justified. I didnt agree with the way Shanann showed the family on social media, she wanted to portray they as the all american perfect family, however that was her choice.

Oh God, I spent 2 years down the Chris Watts rabbit hole. I’ve poured over every page of discovery, read every text, watched all the police bodycam footage & interviews/polygraph/interrogation videos from start to finish (multiple times!). I’ve pondered over witness statements, body language analysis and micro-analyzed the neighbor’s security camera footage and all kinds of theories with other web sleuths. I’ve read every post and watched every video Shannan made, and I’ve battled heartless victim blamers, ugh! I, Ike so many others out there drove myself mad desperately trying to understand why this seemingly decent, milquetoast man could do something so egregious! Before I walked away from this case for good, I could only conclude that he was just a slimy little coward who couldn’t handle confrontation. And his wife came home that night ready to shatter his new dream life now that she had proof he was having an affair. He knew it the minute she texted about the restaurant bill. Shanann wasn’t going to let that go and he knew it. Killing her was easier than admitting he had another woman. I don’t believe for a minute he ever told her. And I don’t think the children fit into his vision of his dream life with NK which is why he killed them. He wanted a brand new start. All this because he lost some weight, got fit and finally became the guy who got the attention from the “hot girl at the office”. I think he was living in a high state of limerence during those weeks Shannan and the kids were away in NC and became completely hooked. It would have been like a powerful drug to him. It’s why he turned cold the minute he landed in NC for that last week. He resented being pulled away from his shiny new perfect life. It would have been eating away at him how much he wanted to be free. Not just of his family, but of his financial burden too.

She made him believe he was perfect & I believe this fostered in him this deep sense of selfishness where he thought he could do & behave anyway at all & it was ok. Hence he murdered his family, & his mom didn't even believe he did it despite the evidence. Very twisted & sad family & an example of how important it is to hold children accountable so they grow up understanding consequences, repercussions, & empathy.

But in his 2019 'confession' (if that's what you call it) he said he took them to the oil site alive, and this was also believed to be true and accepted by the family. So which one was it? Regarding hum not showing any warning signs. That's because I don't believe there were any. In my opinion he was prepared to kill them in a premeditated, calculated and planned manner by staging a scene. That is entirely different from someone who is unbalanced and flipped out. We all know CW probably couldn't bring himself to do this to his own kids which is why many suspect others helped him but he fully wanted them dead. IMO the fact he may not have put hands on them himself was enough to think he may be able to dodge the lie detector test which he knew would have happened eventually. I believe we wanted and needed money and was prepared to lose all his family by staging a scene to make it look like they were killed. But it fell apart. It didn't work. We will never know why. The end result was bodies at Cervi and left to dispose of them. The tanks were the only solution. The fact Shanann remained there tells you he was left alone by that point and physically couldn't move her. It was game over. I'm not looking for anyone to agree but that's how I see this case.

Following the shooting at Columbine High School in 1999; Mary Ellen wrote what many consider the nation's manual on how to identify the warning signs of potential school shooters and stop them before they strike, in what is called "Threat Assessment."

Nicole Atkinson was smart to trust her woman's intuition that something was wrong and decided to alert the police when she saw numerous red flags to indicate that Chris was lying to her: Shannan's Lexus was still in the garage, Bella and Celeste's car seats were in the garage, and Shannan's shoes were still by the front door. It sickens and angers me to learn that Shannan's family has been subjected to harassment, intimidation and threats of violence against them by Internet trolls and by people who for some inexplicable reason have sympathy for Chris. This is why I would support the passage of a piece of legislation Shannan's family is trying to pass: Shannan's Law. By definition; Shannan's Law would force social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, KZread, etc) to stop the harassment and intimidation of family members of those who are victims of violent crimes.

Nearly 5 years in n I still cannot get my head around it he's absolutely 1 of the worst killers in the world to me rip Shannon nico Bella celleste

He stubbornly hung on to his first version/lie of his wife having killed her children for hours on end,trying to justify killing his wife as a result of it and hoping Police will buy his story. I have no word for his brazenness,trying to pin his already deceased wife with killing her own children. Even to this day he has had numerous appeals regarding his sentence,thinking he will have a chance of being released someday.A fantasy he may have gotten from the justice system in Europe (which is where i was born & raised),where "Life Sentence" means about 20 years and with good behavior/being a role model inmate can get you out in about 10. He is cold blooded and calculated even in that regard.

I am always suspect when anyone constantly posts their “ happy life.” I always feel like they are trying to convince themselves more than anyone else! Now, clearly Shanann was the victim and completely unaware of the psychopathy going on in her husband’s mind. I don’t think she would have left her kids alone with him.
