It’s popular enough to get it’s own Netflix movie so maybe just don’t click on the thread.

If you have already seen the videos, etc. on YouTube then this documentary may be a little bit of the same.

There is some unseen footage in this and some of the words that were difficult to understand before are written out, but this documentary does not offer much if one has been watching Shanann’s old FB videos online.

I thought it would be longer than an hour + twenty-three minutes.
I also hoped it would show more unseen video footage.

But I am glad that this case is still weighing on everyone’s mind.
Lest no one forget the four precious souls lost. 💔

Chris Watts is a monster.

Glad he is where he definitely belongs.
In a cell, for 23 hours every. single. day.
Only can get out for a shower or to exercise.

I agree that he lost those sixty-five lbs. so he could have an affair.
His appearance changed so dramatically.
He went from schmuck >> hunk.

I believe that he killed Bella + Celeste because he didn’t want to get found out that he killed his wife.

This has been too heartbreaking to watch. I can barely read about it. It turns my stomach.

Well it’s pretty obvious that was his motivation for killing his kids.

I haven't seen it yet but plan to. I only saw the preview.

I always thought her name was pronounced like "Shannon". What type of name is "Shan - Ann"?

Was it officially verified that this is the order it happened in? I always wondered whether he killed one of the girls while she was out of town and the rest followed.

Autopsies proved the girls were still breathing or at least living when they were put in the oil drums.

Also I don't think the initial reason he killed the girls was to cover up his wife's murder. Remember he strangled both kids first, then he went after the wife in bed. The kids woke up from his suffocation attempt and he bundled them into the truck with the mother's dead body.

They were alive for the car ride.

I don’t think that info was included in the documentary. He said that he killed his wife first and then the kids at the worksite. Maybe I just wasn’t paying close enough attention?

Yep, I think he killed her during or after the sex.

Did they have sex when she came home from the business trip?

I think she’s wearing shoes when he carried out her body, so my thought would be no.

Why would she be wearing shoes in bed at 3AM? That’s when she got back to the business trip.


He stated in the documentary that she climbed into bed and started touching him under the covers and they had sex.
I can’t imagine they had sex either - she was pregnant, just off a uncomfortable flight and he’d been dealing with the kids all alone for two days.

Chris Watts wrote a letter saying he had smothered the kids once, but they woke up, so he had to kill them "a second time"

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7520985/Chris-Watts-chilling-letter-confessing-killed-family.html

I am not sure I believe anything he says. Don't you think Shannan would have gone in to look at her kids when she got home from her trip?

I'm assuming just about everything he says is a lie including the "last confession." In his last confession, he doesn't want it to seem like it was pre-mediated.

Based on the details, I think he killed the kids first then waited for her at 2am. Kids wouldn't survive a strangulation attempt. Its arguably too easy. Maybe he lured Shanann in with the offer of sex and killed her. Pretty sure the autopsy would have said if there was sexual contact or sperm. I think he then sat there and did nothing for a while. Maybe he even slept. Then he loaded them up and took them to the work site just before he was supposed to start working to not arouse suspicion.

But did we get to see autopsy results? We may not be in the loop on whether there was sperm.
