Chris probably isn’t a fan of true crime. Otherwise he would know the chances of getting away with this are slim to none. Going through marital problems then the wife and kids disappear? Of course it’s the cheating husband. Tale as old as time

@Kristen Price fuck yeah! You tell 'em Kristen! <b>comment section high five</b>

@Kristen Price fuck yeah! You tell 'em Kristen! *comment section high five*

This is like the most typical crime of its kind and it was painfully obvious that Chris was guilty from the get go. Husband is having an affair, wife is pregnant and wants the relationship to work plus the money issues they were experiencing. I don’t understand how he ever thought he was going to get away with it

@Cat Fleas "sexual degenerate behavior"?! LMBAO! Adults have a RIGHT to fk any other adult who consents. It's really none of your business. Rape and pedophilia are problems. Consensual sex is NOT!

@AMANDA WOOD thanks for sticking up for me

@Cat Fleas Cheating doesn't make you bad or disgusting. Millions of people do it. Killing his whole family is another matter altogether.

Exactly! All he had to do was divorce her and give her the kids and he could've walked away. Even if the divorce was hard and messy and expensive it's still better than life in prison (or a possible death sentence). Those poor children :(

"Go for a picnic, but you go first!" [Camera shows family leave the home without Chris]. Then Chris go after and kill them all (not as if I want to give tips).

Cheating makes him a bad disgusting person undeserving of any relationship or his family already, but killing his family makes him evil and loathsome, anybody that would do that to their own wife and children needs to be locked up for life like an animal

I thought this too. After everything that I watch- I know that the interviews are brutal, and the searching is never ending. Life wasn’t “hell” being married with two kids, it’s hell when you have a secret and everyone is looking and questioning the rest of your life.

Edit: So yeah, if he had watched anything he would have know that life after “getting rid of them” wouldnt be so easy.


He killed what most people would die for.

@MrDavo511 it definitely put the peices of the puzzle all together

@EXVNDY watch the Netflix documentary on it. They go into the mistress there

@EXVNDY straight facts and all on either video, texts, emails, photos, greeting cards or from the horses mouth

@SimplyNicole75 Is this true, or a theory?

@Pinoy Pineapple for what was for the mistress, she didn’t want to come second to anyone or anything, she admitted she wanted everything the wife had, she didn’t want to be with someone who had kids, she wanted to have “firsts” with him and even talked about giving him a boy, she would have never stood for the wife being pregnant for the third time with a boy, divorced, 3 kids, visitation, child support etc which all those things puts her last…..the mistress wasn’t having any of it and so he erased his family to be with mistress and have all the firsts she wouldn’t shut up about

@kevin He would get jealous of another man having the wife and kids or it's because of a psychotic thinking that they must erase their entire family before starting another

@Pinoy Pineapple true, he apparently had a mistress he wanted to be with. I don't understand why not break it off instead of fucking killing them.


it’s so weird seeing him stuttering and saying “and like” a lot. that just puts me off yk?


He never ever has cried or said he was sorry for what he did, he’s only sorry he got caught.  If my child was missing they would need to sedate me, I’d be freaking out.

That's what I'm always wondering when all these parents are so blase about their dead or missing kids. I'd have to be hospitalized if I lost a loved one like this

He only cries in part 3 when he exclaims to his father that he’s going to prison

I freaked out yesterday when my 2 year old was out of sight in my home. We’re moving so the front door was wide open— only took me 20 seconds of not hearing or seeing her and im screaming her name all outside like a dinosaur dragon mom. My husband and the movers we’re looking at me like I was crazy because she was still in the house. Wheeeww when you think your kids are missing/in danger that’s a different type of fear.

It's because he is a monster, pure and simple.

Golden _tears , that was Nicole’s Atiksons daughter upstairs when her and the cops first went into the house, Nicole’s older son and little girl where with her on the first call when her friend called in the welfare check. If not for her CW may have gotten away with it. But because she called in a welfare check so soon, that POS CW had no time to clean up his mess and alibi and move evidence.  Also the reason gps shows him sitting for few minutes on a nearby street is because CW took the time to stop at dumpster where new houses where still being built, he threw away evidence, girls blankets, cleaned up any blood etc...

@ 4:14 you can see a small girl walking in the room on the left

@MEGA CHUNGUS some people without kids would accuse you of overprotection, I however just think that you are a brilliant mummy for your kid.

Exactly I have 4 kids ranging 3 - 17 if any of them and my precious wife were missing like this I'd be freaking out I would have  run to the house screaming for them, I wouldn't stop to rest or eat until I found them.

Right!? If I lose sight of my kid for a few minutes my heart rate is through the roof.

I freak the fuck out if I don’t hear from my boyfriend for a certain amount of time. I don’t have kids yet but if they went missing, I’d be unable to breathe and stop crying.


Detective: Silent stare

Suspect: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness"

That neighbor should become a police detective. He’s extremely perceptive. Every time I watch this I want to high five that guy.

The cop knew he was a suspect from the first 2 minutes

@FC Mania He wasn’t talking about the channel owners

It doesnt take a fucking rocket scientist to see chris was acting suspicious

I mean he wouldn’t make a good detective, he just knew his behavior didn’t match how he normally was


Ladies and gentlemen, the Chris ¨Like¨ Watts


It is so creepy to think a guy can live for over 30 years and all of a sudden commit several homicides like this!!!! WTF.


This case will forever haunt me. I was so captivated. The fact that he was so stupid not to lawyer up immediately shows what a complete idiot this guy was! The agents in this case were excellent and played him like a fiddle.

Lawyer couldn't save him. He was terrible at lying. They could have found the bodies using cadaver dogs eventually. He hid them in his work site. It was bloody clear he did it with the motive, body language, neighbor's camera, etc. His statement couldn't be used in court anyways.

Alexis Rodriguez Not true. Never talk to the police without your lawyer present. I cannot stress this enough. Luckily Chris was arrogant enough to think he could handle everything on his own and avoid detection.

If he lawyered up immediately that would have been even more of a dead giveaway


I love how the neighbor was like, he’s acting weird, he did this and that. Like git him!

Thank God for this neighbor stepping up, he knew Chris was full of it.This neighbor Supplied his video cam of crime gone down.


How about the fact that he said “I wouldn’t do something like this” when supposedly no one knows what was done yet. All they know is they’re missing🙄🙄🙄

I know. When he said that I said out loud "like what Christ?" Because this was real early in the  investigation.

@o 44 even though he’s guilty. He should’ve shut his mouth and asked for his lawyer

@Hollydox yes I know, but if he had no idea what happened to his wife his kids how could he say I would never do something like this? Supposedly no one knew what “this” was🤦♀ if she had runoff with another guy, it wouldn’t make any sense. He just kept making it obvious he was guilty

@Hollydox he should of said i wouldnt do anything instead of something like this, as that makes it sounds like he knew what happened to them

The officer brought up the fact that Watts doing SOMETHING to his wife and kids wasn't out of the question. I think Watts took it as an accusation and tried to defend himself


“I wanted to see THOSE kids.”

Not “MY” kids?

@terriblegamer, understandable. You too!

@A Guy Named Something It's alright. I'm just sick of having to repeat myself. It's all good. Have a nice day.

@A Guy Named Something Literally none of you people read any of the replies in threads. I've already explained myself over and over again about the topic. I'm tempted to delete my original comment if I get one more person repeating what has already been said by other people lol<br>Like literally someone else said the exact same thing as you did and I already explained myself - how it depends on the CONTEXT.

Eh, I've heard many parents say that. Like I've seen many people do in this case, you're reaching a bit. I've heard many parent's say, "those kids mean the world to me," and none of them killed their children.

@JPavilion Okay. That explains some stuff then.

@JPavilion You did not read any of my comments in this thread, apparently.

@terriblegamer again ...<br>“Those kids”

They picked up on that early on,because as soon as the detective sat down he said these kids, IM SORRY... YOUR kids and YOUR wife.  Really pointing out Chris' detached vocab

@terriblegamer I ain’t gonna lie if I had kids I would say “those kids” as a vocabulary thing I say. Doesn’t mean I’m detached from them kids...

Look in the kids room at 3:00 you can see a kid playing wtf

@baabygrrl3 That's fair, I didn't take into account that if they went missing it'd be a lot more personal.

@Octavius Augustus I have children and never would I refer to them as "those" kids. Because truth is they're mine and if they went missing I would most definitely refer them as mine because a piece of me is missing. But clearly there is a disconnect between him and his kids when he refers to them as those.

Those kids is acceptable, just a different way to say things.

@Dorothy Stevens what else would they be? undergrown adults?

Yes you are right, this is a massive tell once noticed

It's too obvious. Whenever the murderer talked about the victims, they tried to 'stay away' from the subject, probably scared to be asked a detail Q. If someone or something that precious to me was lost, I'd use word "my" to make sure the other party knew I claimed what mine was and how I held dear about it (and they took me seriously and the issue I brought was a very serious matter)

That was the dead giveaway for me. I have NEVER called my kids "those kids." I've even called them "your kids" 🤣 but never "those kids." And I hate it every time he does it. For me, it's even more irritating than his prolific use of the word "like."

@Gemedy Read my comments again (if you haven't already). Like I said, again, CONTEXT matters.

@terriblegamer I think you’re reading too much into this, referring to your kids as “those kids” is not abnormal at all

@D nature lover You said "those kids" followed by "are my life". That obviously matters a lot. Context matters.

Here is a guy who's pregnant wife and kids are missing, and he's using words like "THOSE" kids instead of "MY" kids. "My" is a much more personal term than "those" when relating to family member who you care about. You would think said guy would be using more personal language talking about his kids when they're missing, but he didn't, and we obviously know why. Like a user above said, the use of "those" is a form of detachment, making him suspicious even more than he was already being at the time of his interview.

In Latino families we do this a lot I say "get this kid" "those kids are my life" I didn't think it has to do with detachment just the way he talks.

It's a common thing people do when they're lying, they're distancing/detaching themselves from the subject


This is a big part why police have body cameras.  It shows misconduct and can get bad officer charged or fired.  It can be in this case used as evidence to show at trial when interviewing witnesses. It can protect officers against false allegations and misconduct.  Yeah it is expensive, but it holds everyone accountable.

As long as they turn the audio on soon enough, many videos even canvassing the neighborhood with conversations happening is no sound or like with going through residence the cam view is eye level when everything they are commenting on or looking at is on the floor so no value there and if anything probably missed something need to revisit later. Hopefully they after action all the body cam footage and make some suggestions to help improve usage.


"I'm not sure like, what I can do like..."


When he got that call from the police man he probably messed his pants.  This was probably the fastest bust in the history of murder.  We all need a friend like this one.


That neighbor and her friend are HEROES. They’re immediately on target and just like GRAB THIS MAN. PRONTO.


"Husband" "they"? What? Use "he", dude. I love your videos, but man


The way he uses past tense to describe his kids while looking at the photo says everything. "She was a girlie girl..."


The wife’s friend and the neighbor are damn heroes

They already knew something is wrong probably....

Joel Joel mmm not really. you can admit that shannanns friend alerting the police was a heroic move and cut chris’ time down to hours. most people would just be like “eh she’s not answering maybe she’s asleep” and left it alone. so.. don’t be a hater

I can shut anything and everything you just said down but I’m not about to right a book. Him getting caught was inevitable. Yea some keys and a purse being hidden away, that’ll let him get away with it...

Joel Joel if it wasn’t for the friend, chris would’ve had more time to clean up evidence like her car/keys/purse and formulate a story. if not for the neighbor chris could’ve told whatever story he wanted with no evidence that he was lying about where the wife and kids went. he would’ve probably gotten away with it. so yes, heros indeed

The word “hero” is thrown around too easily now a days

I've thought of this. I'm sure his "plan" was to come home from work and fix a few things. He was screwed either way, but her friend sped things up a lot.

Voracious Reader what is wrong with people ☹


He implicated himself the minute he spoke about his wife and kids in the past tense before he even “knew” they were dead. He said she “was” and they “were”.

Primate Is Pro The trouble isn’t necessarily even proving that she did. Jury trials are about who can tell a more convincing story to the jury to sway them in their favor. José Baez just told a little more convincing story that swayed the jury towards a not-guilty judgement.

I remember seeing a study that was done on the use of current and past tense

Payton she wasn’t guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. There was zero physical evidence. Did she do it? Almost certainly. The trouble is proving it

alkalisunshine still don’t understand that shit

@Payton Hope yet somehow a jury found her innocent.


Refers to them as the kids and never my kids.


Her friend is the bff we don't deserve but wish we had isn't she.

@The Don exactly what i was thinking...maybe they dont deserve that kind of friendship... but i know i do bc i know am a dam good friend to my good an loyal friends...wtf are they talkn bout

@Marceline Abadeer Holy shit buddy who hurt you lol. Just because a hefty girl broke your heart doesnt mean you have to take it out on anyone whos overweight.

It’s Godzilla, he tried to read your comment. He’s dead

Her and the neighbor KNOW. They both are 100x more worried than he is.

I mean, her slippers were still there, she noticed the slippers! She knew her well and really cared about her 😔

I wish I had a bff like that...anyone have her number? She knew stuff went South, and something was wrong..love her for that.

It makes you wonder whether she ever said to her friend something like “if anything ever happens to me, it’s him”

Amen. That look she gave Chris when he opened the door was full of shade


why these interogation cameras have to be 480p ????

@JΛMΛ nah bro, they dont interogate in that room 24/7. they could record 1080p when someone is inside for like 5-6 hours easy.

because they are recording for hours on end and need to efficiently store that much data?


At 2:47 -3:15 did any body see the little girl playing with toys?????????!!!!!!’nnnn she goes into the cupboard and plays with toys. You can see her through the door way. Go look again!!!!!!


"I want those kids back so bad" like hes talking about the Mc Rib being taken off the Mc Donald's menu"

@Steven Goodman Yeah I've lived all over Canada the last 27 years and I've never even seen a McRib that was limited time lol

Everybody talks about McRib but nobody ever shows love to A&W Whistle Dogs. It's a shame that they we're discontinued. Best fast food hot dogs money could buy

@Django Leo wait, is it gone in some areas?

Most people are more upset over the McRib being gone than he was after killing his family

@Tyler82994 at least it isn't szchezuan sauce

Lol the comments are funny but true,I look harder for kids missing docks than this

officer shows him a picture of his probably dead family
"what do you feel?"

"gotta find em"

*officer shows him a picture of his probably dead family*
"what do you feel?"

"gotta find em"


The girl that walked by in the bedroom on the left?? 4:15

It's one of the neighbors kids as neighbors were in the house


I bet he thought he'd have more time to dispose of the bodies and convince himself of his alibi. You can see him practically surrendering with his hands on his head when the neighbour produced the cctv footage. A real "Shiiiiit. . .didn't foresee this. . .how can I lie my way out of this?" look on his face


He innocent until proven guilty my niggi


Imagine being the integrator and slowing realize you’re sitting next to a murderer as you talk to him

They were interrogating him like a suspect and not a witness

That’s literally theirjob every day so I don’t think that freaks them out

I feel like they all knew before ever walking in that this man had a hand in the disappearance/ deaths


I'll be not surprised if brian and Chris are friends


He didn't even care enough about her to know she had a doctor's appointment that day for his unborn child and it was his downfall


What is Chris doing right now? <br>On prison bed with hand on top of his forehead..

What is Chris doing right now?
On prison bed with hand on top of his forehead..


It looks like the movie "Gone Girl" with  Ben Afleck. Maybe that movie is based on this story , i think .


This whole case gives me deep chills. Human beings are terrifying. And how he could kill his little babies. What the fuck. It makes me so sick to my stomach literally

@David Malone jokes are suppose to be not taken serous

@MikoArtz ! <br>You just posted cringe bro

I mean I can't get it the idea that someone is murdering his own biological children where there is a lot more psychological bonds between them??? Like wtf!! I don't think he was human.

@David Malone Wait, do u mean that Miko wasn't funny? Shame! I thought that Miko was hilarious! /s

@MikoArtz ! Jokes are supposed to be funny

Well for one. Babies are easy targets <3 tho this only works  with humans, u don't have a 800 pound moose   in ur way when trying to kill its baby, I tried..like..100 times the. Moose wouldn't let me  have some fukin meat, but humans are easy af XD

This is a joke  this is a joke this is a joke <3

That doesn’t scare me at all, there are plenty of child murderers. HOWEVER, the ducking guts it go on national television and beg for some imaginary kidnapper to bring the children you murdered home so you can see them is another level of sick I wanted to throw up, at the current moment of writing this, I don’t know his sentence, but I pray they’re warming up the electric chair for him.

Me too, this guy is just the dirt of the dirt


fs, if he didnae wantea be with her there's a simple fkn solution mate! Break up.. move on.. SIMPLE!!! Ye Don't Annihilate Ur Whole FKN FAMILY BROO!!!
