@YourPalHDee You say that like it makes it better? Sociopathy is objectively worse. People with cluster B personality disorders don't see other people as human beings, they see them as objects and have no ability to display empathy. He didn't panic. He premeditated the murder of his wife and children. Premeditated. He planned to kill helpless, tiny human beings that relied on him and trusted him for love and safety. There isn't anything more evil on this planet.

I take that more to him seeing them as his possessions, like she was going to leave him and take the kids, and he felt she didn't have a right to do that because they belonged to him. It is also an indication of "I made them, I can destroy them."

@The Gray State truth just barely 89 😂 but still an 80s baby! His other big one was “take a chill pill” and proceeding to look for them at the store

@Damon Santore mine too. Every time me and him would argue it was “I brought you into this world and I can take you out”. Scary shit you must be an 80s baby too. Did you also hear “don’t get something Ajax won’t take off”😂

Funny thing is, just the way he talked isn't convincing at all, not even the viewers moreover the detective

@YourPalHDee I don't think he loved them by the way he address them as those kids, not eben close saying my kids, it's 100%detachment, words usage can't fool. His wording absolutely critical for investigator

@Notthefather exactly, a loving dad will not generalized his kids with just saying they are kids but will say their name as an individual

@michael001437 there 2 level of love which sufficient by saying the kids or my kids

@michael001437 there 2 level of love which sufficient by saying the kids or my kids

@Tracey Ní Breitheamh no I definitely think this is a hindsight moment. This is totally a normal thing to say but in the context it just sounds creepier so you all want to demonstrate how you're so much smarter than them and you would have known it from the start...<br>Nope...

The amount of times he said those kids was gross

he apparently wanted sons so bad. probably didn't even love his daughters 😔. but his wife was pregnant w/ a son

You nailed it, he can't feel the feelings so he's trying to act like he thinks it would feel. They're not completely human.

@Ball Juice Of Zeus BHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! OMFG!!! MINT!!!

I feel like psychopaths are mayeb the closest thing we have to aliens. They study human behavior and he said so many cringey things ab the kids that he probably heard other real dads say

"Ah yes...I fed them...human eggs. As well as...giving those kids human emotion 1438: affection. Yes, I love those kids. I definitely did not Earth Murder those human kids."

Lmao totally uneccesary detail from him hahaha

@Valencia Saintilus I was also in an abusive relationship once. Big deal. A lot of women have been. Stop being so thirsty for sympathy.

It's just disgustingly painful listening to this guy whhen he speaks. Because he tries to sound so intelligent!

@Valencia Saintilus that's not so weird. I used to refer to MY son as "the baby".

@Valencia Saintilus that's not so weird. I used to refer to MY son as "the baby".

I refer to my kids as "the kids" and "these kids" sometimes, and may have referred to them as "those kids", but then again, I might just be awkward.

@Duckie it makes me sad. That some pressure will drive people to do horrible things. I dont think the guy was or is evil. The act is unspeakable..

This entire interview has been an admission

@D Goonz You mean "those" as in "I helped make those donuts". Only without the noun at all, which makes it even less personal, you could care less about the donuts, really but you still want credit. "I helped make those".

"My genetic material was mechanically combined with that wife, err, my wife's for the formation of the human offspring"

Sounds like he didn't see them really as his but his wife's kids. Not having a good or much of a connection and relationship with

I think you guys are often missing the point. This guy obviously loved his kids, but he didn't want them to leave with their mother. He's not saying stuff because he's some weird psycho, he did something fucking seriously wrong in a time of panic. And he's trying to lie because he can't handle the truth of what he's done.

@Teela Tequila And yet when you see videos of him with the kids he seems to really love them....but obviously there was no connection there. <br>What does he actually suffer from? What disorders does he have? I wish an expert (not youtube one) could tell us

or when he says "i hope my kids come back... he he he". what human being laughs after saying that?

or when he says "i hope my kids come back... he he he". what human being laughs after saying that?

So I says to the guy, I says to him, I says,

I would often describe my narcissistic ex as "an alien pretending to be human" due to the fact she was so detached from her actions and had a complete lack of empathy and connection. It was like she was trying to emulate human behavior but it just didn't click. It was like body snatcher style super weird once I realized she was only getting worse over the years.

I think he is trying to get credit for what is wife did.  She was pregnant some guys don't like how women get attention for that when they are narcissistic and think it should be all about them.  Women grow the babies not men he just wants to minimize her.

"Those kids" instead of "my kids" is subconscious separation.  And not saying their names keeps them from being close to him in his mind.

AH YES. I TOO HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE PRODUCTION AND REARING PROCESS OF PROGENY. 1011010001011

AH YES. I TOO HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE PRODUCTION AND REARING PROCESS OF PROGENY. 1011010001011

I think he meant for it to sound like he was giving generous credit to his wife, who carried and gave birth to them, while his contribution to “making them” was, uh, much more short and sweet. It was made to sound like he bore no ill will towards the mother of his children, and was even grateful to her...which obviously was not the case at all.

Or it sounds like a father who actually idk helped make the kids

It is psycho talk. Most probably a normal humanbeing wouldn't say "those kids".

But then my stepdad isn't quite right in the head so

Sounds like someone completely detached from life. Makes you wonder what its like in their shoe. Having a daughter and son and only seeing them as kids. Or having a wife and only seeing her as a girl.

"I was one of the replicators involved in the production of these Larvae"

of all the instances of "those" I gotta say "those are my life" was probably the most disturbing to me. Without the "kids" there it really pushes the "these are objects" vibe up to 11.

I love how she is not letting him speak after the test! She is like over speaking him and her tone of the voice is also amazing!


“You’re a really bad liar, has anyone ever told you that?”  I’m dying


Fair play to the lady, she is an absolute beast. She took him apart.


How schooled these detectives are is very impressive. They just know what to do and when to do it..


A great way to never end up in this situation is to never murder anyone.

@Philip Jones No problem. It might seem meaningless from a stranger on the internet, who has only ever read a paragraph about your experience but I really do wish you the best. I completely understand your thought process too, regarding your feelings around getting close to somebody. But I hope you do at least find a good, kind, solid companion. That oxygen-thief took enough from you, you deserve a much better future. Eight years is disgustingly short. I don't support death penalty, but I think these 'people' should never get out and enjoy life again, and spend a very dull, basic, luxury-free life in prison. Hopefully reflecting on what they did and the everlasting effect on others. Sadly, the world is a little skewiff. Genuinely hope you have support from others.

tons of people are falsely accused but ok

@EddieMachetti you're exchange had me chucking

@Erin. V. M seriously that exchange had me giggling

@jack Johnson Estimated are between 3% to 10% of people on death row, and in prison in general, are innocent.

That's about 200,000 innocent people in jail and 200,000 criminals free. Go ask them if they are good with "1 in a million" odds.

By the way, that would need 200 billion trials to get 200,000 wrong. Haven't looked at the stats on how many court cases we have each year, but I'm guessing it's well short of being able to meet 200 billion in any reasonable time.

There is an organization that has gotten almost 400 people off death row by going back to old cases and using new dna tech. How many innocent, but the officers did a shot job at the crime scene and no dna was taken at the time.

Imagine spending your whole life in jail and literally being innocent. Happens way more than '1 in a million' and 1 in a million is too high.

He did that for a really egoistic point of view he tough if they didn’t found out it’s him he can be a free single man with no history and responsibilities

@Joel Miller Thanks for the kind words. That was all back in 2007.  The guy that did it served 8 years and is now free, she is still dead.  The police interrogation was rough but,  with life seeming pointless,  I didn't actually care and frankly felt utter indifference about being a suspect.

It does change you.  I've not remarried but have had few dates.  Each time I wondered if I really wanted something so precious in my life that could be so easily lost.

My wife and kids....never. But, killing someone by accident is easier than you think. Tempers, and emotions get pretty thick and hard to navigate in the moment. Some will stop after a mistake....others will finish it once the mistake is made. Are they evil? I would argue that they are not....just a lack of self control. Taught control, they could be great people. But, once the line is crossed....consequences must follow.

Plenty of people who never murder anyone end up in exactly this situation.

.... you say that now,  but what if someone cut the line whileyou were  waiting 45 mins for Chick-fil-A?

@Philip Jones Everything about your story is horrific. I really hope you can rebuild your life and find some peace after such a loss and experience. Love from a lady in the UK. x

People who would otherwise be normal can snap. It's no justification, but it's true

@Martin Stu ...no, actually it doesn't. And it didn't happen in this situation either. Troglodyte.

My wife was murdered in 2007.  He put her body in a sack, weighed it down with some rocks and dropped her in a lake.  She surfaced, literally, sixteen days later, June 4th to be exact, her birthday.  Found by a ten-year-old kid who will likely never forget that day.

The police were all over me.  I did four lots of four-hour interrogation.  They told me nothing of what they already knew but questioned me as a most likely suspect. I struggled to answer even the most basic questions.  And they ask a lot of questions.  She was dead, gone and all I wanted to do was curl up in a corner and die myself.  You get so tired of the questions that you actually want to confess. I just wanted to be left alone. Why not? What else is there?

A confession would have been pointless. Her real killer did confess. He was then made to explain how he got the body to the lake, where he dropped the body in, where he got the rocks, the sack, the rope.  Stuff that only he could know.

You can only speak the truth. It's hell and then some.

I may just look like a retard for saying this but

Or never marry oh I have a better one never be born🙏🏻

Or at least not install cameras on your own house. And know the persons schedule. And make sure no one knows you're alone with them.

@Erin. V. M  These replies.........they’re....beautiful.

@EddieMachetti ...*shudders*. Oh noes...I can feel the tension in the air. Now hush, you teeny tiny man. Quit stomping your stinky little feet in protest.

@Erin. V. M how dare you talk to your superiors that way

@EddieMachetti ...oh, okay. I'm totally going to feign intimidation now from someone about as significant as a Gnat farting in Wisconsin. 😉

Ask for a lawyer, guilty or innocent, ask for a lawyer. Keep asking until they give you one.

@EddieMachetti ...never going to happen.


I remember seeing his interview on the news and I think everyone in the country had this solved on nearly day 1.


"Thank you for being a horrible liar!" So glad she said that to him!


Ya know that moment when"they"realize the jig is up...? When they realize that from THAT moment on the trajectory of their life will be completely different from the one they have lived and the life they've lived up until that point has come to an end... I can't tell when that moment happened in this case. It's like he truly never realized the severity of the situation nor the potential consequences of his utter failure to convince anyone around him of his innocence. How did he not see that everyone around him knew he was lying,  or did he and just gave anyone the power of knowing he did? Either way isn't that a character flaw in sociopaths or psychopaths? The detachment and ignorance of potential consequences thing?


It's really telling how when he's asked a question, Chris sounds and acts more like the person just called him a murderer than like the person asked him a question. He doesn't actually answer the question, he just defends himself by repeating how much he loves his kids and how he would never harm them or his wife.


"Thank you for being a horrible liar."

Ruthless.

Dude was completely exposed, couldn't say anything

I mean...it's comically true, look at his face on the interviews

@shut cho booty cheek up cuz i’m not the one 20:53 & 20:59

What’s the time in the video when he said that


I'm convinced he forgot that they were officially on missing at this point, and that he was supposed to be worried about finding them alive. Thats the only thing I can think of for how he was trying to act. Hes playing the mourning man, rather than the worried man. Hes even constantly referring to them in past tense.


Gotta say this investigator is by far one of the best interrogators I have ever seen. No wonder the FBI picked him up. I like the slowed down phone handoff replay. Too funny JCS.


My biggest problem in watching these videos is that I cringe every time the detectives confront him. I just cant stand imagining how he feels when they catch him in a lie.


These terrify me because it shows that everyone has the ability to hurt someone like this and it just takes one specific thing.

Kinda makes me scared of myself. Can’t believe that I could ever have the ability to hurt anyone. But seeing the thing some people do scares me of what we’re all capable of

@Sisyphean Existence right! Or it could simply be someone finds that nerve that ticks you off and you lose control and things just escalate. It was 1 in the morning when I made this comment- which means I was more terrified of what I could actually do to someone. However now that it’s not the middle of the night and I’m more level headed I’m back to the typical “I could never hurt someone” mind set haha


Polygrapher: “That was so great! 😃”
Chris: “Thanks!”
Polygrapher: “You’re a really bad liar! 😃”
Chris: 👁👄👁

Why he didn’t ask for a lawyer at the begging let alone at this point is beyond me

@TIV67 Playz but how do you know it's the end of times? Your Jesus tirade took you waaaaaay off course.

Stop tryna be funny .... This is disgusting.

@John Canter Definitely, but at this point I don't believe people use them to definitively tell  if someone is lying. I think it's a tool used to ramp up psychological pressure and to study how the suspect responds to the test.

@Logic Bender They are, but they kinda work as almost just a supplementary tool for psychological pressure here. It'd be insanely easy to not pass a polygraph test, by just being overly nervous.

But in the way it's conducted here, the test almost seems secondary. It's completely built up to destroy his psyche, rather than actually give a "yes/no" answer to "did he kill them". They'd probably have had the same success, if she didn't even have him hooked up to the thing and just showed him some squiggly lines.

I would simply pass away right then and there.

This comment was funny until I saw that face at the end

Polygraph tests are actually really shitty lie detectors

When you highlight that face its just pure nightmare fuel


This is like the 3rd time I've watched these tapes. The thing that always baffles me is the fact that he planned to kill her and his kids in a fantasy, but he's the stupidest criminal in history. Didn't think of cameras Chris? Her car is still there, with her shoes?? And on top of all of that, he's the absolute worst liar. How did he think he was going to get away with this. He's a complete disassociated psychopath.


While sitting in that chair I wonder how many times Chris thought to himself 'uhh is it too late to call off this test?' Lol The lady performing the test did a stellar job.


To know what he did , and to watch him sit there playing innocent , is fascinating , and maddening at the same time


This detective is awesome. Love all the long pauses. For an introverted person, this dude talks a lot.


This woman is absolutely terrifying. If I was a murderer she's the last person I'd want to see. Amazing at her job, wow

@John P. Grygus that’s the reason he cracked so easily. He has zero experience with interrogations. I know what you mean though. I’ve been around the block a few times in my younger years and these tactics would just be funny to me.

@John P. Grygus maybe cause a guilty person would not try to offend someone they are trying to convince. I’m sure a innocent person doesn’t care if they offend someone that’s accusing them of a crime if they have the evidence.

sorry, but i saw it differently. she was very much an amateur in my eyes. if she were interviewing me or trying tactics like rubbing my shoulder.....sorry, but i wouldn't fall for that. she was lucky Chris wasnt wise in this situation.

@NamelessBacon ! it probably was lying—never trust a plant.

Imagine her kids, they’d never get away with anything.

imagine her as your wife... "You want to tell me who left this mug in the sink?"

Exactly what the bible says about the guilty capture in justice’s ice cold gaze

And she's wearing stripes as a foreshadowing of chris's future 😂

She was very good. I wonder though if, when she said; "there's only one person in this room who knows the truth, after this, there'll be two", was that not a little too direct being as she implied Chris was guilty? Chris did not respond to it though.

Thought the same. So kind and friendly. And we all know she is the BETTER liar here.

Polygraphs can’t be used in court. They can sometimes show an indication of guilt or innocence, but I think the reason they use them is to see A) their reluctance/acceptance to take one, and/or B) the added psychological pressure the detectives can add to a person they believe to be guilty.

@Lars Rye Jeppesen a college hooked a test up to a house plant and found it was lying. It was just hot from the window

@Lars Rye Jeppesen  Polygraph tests only show that you're nervous or have high blood pressure anyways it's not scientific as much as she was letting on . As long as you're calm you can pass them no matter what you did even killed a 100 people

Would a psychopath  not be able to beat the test?

yea when she bragged about how she is the best polygraphian in the country I thought goddamn this is not going to be easy


It takes serious hubris to think you can casually outwit trained and educated specialists such as detectives and polygraphers. "I can easily fool these professionals and cover up my unreasonable and heinous acts."

At some point even an innocent person realizes "wait, they think I had something to do with this? Hell naw, time to lawyer up for my own good." This guy KNOWS he's guilty, and he just strolls breezily into the lion's den completely unarmed and unrepresented by counsel, with full confidence that he can't possibly get got.

Mark William Hofmann (Murder among the Mormons forger and bomber) beat the polygraph with no problems (scored a +14 in fact). It does happen.


Watching this for the 3rd time.
What strikes me most is that he didn't even bat an eyelid when he was inquired about the "ways making someone disappear". I mean... an innocent person (like...I imagine being asked those questions😳) wouldn't even be able to connect to the very nature of those questions in their mind.
I would've replied with a question such as "excuse me...?" or "what type of questions are these?!"
Chris just went along with them non-chalantly, answered them as if the questions were about some mundane subject matter.

The tone in his voice when he was asked relevant questions had blatant guilt written all over it


I didn't even do the crime but Im over here sweating like Im about to get caught for this crime.

That means y’all have empathy. (Not to be confused with sympathy)

@Menibor1 I don’t even know if I was involved. It was all blurry.

Yup. Im.having a freaking anxiety attack <br> Holy crap

Yup. Im.having a freaking anxiety attack
 Holy crap

@Tommye Girl yessss. I was hoping someone else felt that way when she asked that question. I failed that test horribly lol

I stumbled on this video while I was stoned lol needless to say my heart rate was jacked

I need to keep reminding myself that this dude strangled children because I automatically keep putting myself in his shoes and take pity. I'm pretty sure id have an aneurysm even if I was innocent

which means you probably merk'd some other poor woman and kids.

Insert Redletter Media Meme Here true lol

@Brandan Good for you..We need more honest people! Lol.

Insert Redletter Media Meme Here lol same I’m listening to her say ok when I say before 2018 and I’m thinking shit I would forget what she told me to say or the questions she’s asking I would be like but I did lose my temper so I’m lying lol 😆 also I would completely fail that test my anxiety makes me hold my breath and my hands are naturally very clamy and I get nervous very easily so my adrenaline is always on stand by all signs of failing lol

Gabriel Land I did the crime of the century, I smoked some weed.

'The' crime? Or 'a' crime? What crime DID you do?

I used to be liberal I`m sorry Fine I did it. You caught me, I can’t take it anymore!

@B Lane sounds more like a Tums festival.......

Same! She asked how you could make someone disappear, I was like "I dunno man! I dunno!!!!" Lol

Do you think that your chastity device is chaffing you as well?

@Marc Fischetti you ever watch "Making A Murderer" on Netflix? Something about the Avery guy reminds me of Dick the Birthday Boy! Lol

It's like some hack fraud tried subverting expectations about it really being all about family!

I just confessed to my local police how I did 27 in a 25

Insert Redletter Media Meme Here OMG...SAME!!! My heart racing...my upper lip sweating...lawd I got anxiety!!! 🤣😩🤣😩🤣


Interrogator: "There is going to come a time when you're gonna feel this pressure from other people.
I'm not the only one who thinks that there's a possibility that you have something to do with this."
Chris: "Like another FBI agent, like, pressure? Or like, just like..."

What an odd response to being accused of having something to do with the disappearance of your wife and kids if you're "innocent".


The part when the lady said “if you had something to do with this it would be really dumb for you to come in for a polygraph test” i guarantee that just instantly made chris nervous and messed with his psyche. He was prolly trying to keep his cool at that moment


“There’s nothing in this life that means more to me than those kids” except… a side piece that let me get up in them truck for a few weeks. What an absolute monster for annihilating his entire family for the “prospect” of a new life with a woman that was prolly half the woman that Shannan was. To me there is no nice warm spot in this world that would push me to hurt my family. Ever.  My kid is Everything to me and I would go to the end of the world to keep him safe. Our job as a father is to make sure we bring them comfort and a sense of safety and security.. how those jobs can be discarded and abandoned for a new person in your life is never acceptable.  I know it’s too late for Chris and his family  but I do hope that he has seen the horror and loss he brought so many people, i hope he feels extreme guilt every day for the rest of his life. Let the punishment fit the crime… since they will not be taking his life he needs to not have much one at all.


Imagine disposing of your own children’s bodies to cover up your murder. Incomprehensible.


The fact that he always says “those/these kids” and not “my kids” shows how much love he lacks for them. It’s disgusting.

@Miss Vlad he was never attached to them

He also has the vocabulary of a teenage girl.

@Flowcean Soul Indeed! The black slums are filled with huge numbers of "Welfare Babies" from crack addicts that have 7 kids from 7 different fathers. It has been a way of life for them since the 60's when LBJ  expanded the welfare program and all of the other free goodies that came from the taxes that hard-working americans are paying. The ironic thing is that the Black Families had a higher marriage rate than whites prior to the 60's, which ranged from 82%- 90%. Black Families that are middle-class & upper income class have much higher rates of marriage than families that live in the slums.

@sharon sciba Pretty Good detective work, I would have to say!  Since the cop used that word "those/them", Chris took those descriptors and just ran with them.  If he was innocent, he would have said..MY KIDS...I can't believe it!!...and probably sobbing or holding back tears...picking up the pictures and holding them. Instead he was so cold and just kind of touched the pictures in a detached way....He didn't even try to act as if his kids were Super Important...

@Saul Goodman Hey now I know plenty of white dads that walked out on their kids too, and plenty of black fathers who stood by their kids and wife and have been faithful and loving to their families. Colour has nothing to do with parenting.

But you’re right, he really should have just left if he was so unhappy. Then he could’ve just been with the girl he wanted to be with and his poor wife and kids could still be alive. Sure, they’d be sad their family isn’t together anymore but that’s way better than them being gone. Such a sad story that could’ve gone so much better with just one simple decision, telling his wife he was unfaithful and wanted to leave.

Most of it as he's speaking in the past tense like he's never going to see them again.

@irsute8833 u helped make those kids??? Uhh how?

@Flowcean Soul well technically the littles and his wife are just missing. But he knew during this whole interview, nobody was ever going to see any of them alive again.

My exact thought. How can someone COMPLETELY withdraw all emotions enough to even hold himself together. Not one tear.

dude killed them i think that speaks enough

I think he is saying it this way, trying to approach the interrogator’s point of view. Talks about them the way a stranger (interrogator) would most likely talk about them. It’s just another of his manipulating tricks. Little did he know, it only further made him look like the clown he is. I don’t think he is doing it to emotionally detach himself from his kids or the murder he committed. You have to have emotions to emotionally detach yourself. He clearly lacks every kind of emotion, besides self-pity, that’s why he was so easy to read right off the bat. Almost all narcissistic sociopaths tend to bear the same traits. Same with Casey Anthony.

He always said ‘making kids’ instead of having kids. Was really off. Like the most he cared about was the act of making them, and not the kids themselves.

Im going to start by saying i do not think killing is justifiable in any circumstance. But i saw home videos of them, and to be honest both the mother and the kids are obnoxious and annoying. Its understandable why he wanted out. Got together young, rushed into commitment, yadda yadda.... So why kill them? This gnaws on my mind because all im thinkin is DIVORCE DIVORCE DIVORCE. But my speculation is it was equivalent to a school shooter. Dude was the nice/quiet guy before this, holding it in, and it boiled and boiled with all those annoying ass arguments.  Until she came home from that vaycay and ol dude went apeshit on her. Realized, oh fuck, cant let the girls live with this, and "mercy" killed em. I think the entire thing was in the heat of the moment and improvised from then on.

This is an extreme case of someone not being honest with themselves. Dude should of just gave them all the finger and pay child support. But he didnt want to look like the asshole. Ironic.

@DanielV and I just think it’s a bad idea to remove yourself from the kids in this case, makes you look more guilty to me. 🤷🏻♀ Did I say I was a cop? No. Does my opinion in this matter? No. Am I still allowed to say that’s gross and dumb of him to so? Yep.

@DanielV That literally isn’t the thing that makes him guilty in this, I just said it was disgusting.

@Flowcean Soul Since when using a demostrative article or a posesive pronound makes you guilty or inocent instead of proven facts?

@james sutcliffe ?¿ weird thing to get super defensive about. So you’re telling me it’s normal to call your OWN kids “those kids” instead of “my kids”? And to call them that while you’re being interviewed by police for being suspected of murdering said kids?

yea i dun have kids but i nva heard my parents talk like that :(

@Sam Loomis I feel that, the kids being happy with the mom. He couldn’t have just been an adult and divorced his wife or broke it off with the mistress. Fun fact: divorcing your wife is better than murdering her and her children.

The sad thing is that I never met them and Im not even their daddy but seeing the videos of them dancing and singing all cute and happy makes me love them. Wherever these angels are now, they're at peace and have no memory of this cowardly piece of shit.

And he’s trying to dissociate from them actually being his kids; he just murdered those kids not his actual kids

Seriously and how he would talk about them in the past tense like they were dead to him long before he killed them. When my best friend died from cancer it took me months afterwards to change to talking about her to past tense instead of present tense

Even in the beginning of interrogation the detective apologized for saying “those kids” but cw continued to say “those kids”!

@Miss Vlad then why say "it's a way" to detach and not just he's detached from them. To me it sounded like you meant he was trying to detach in the interview.

@Beyond Backwater presicely what I had pointed out ! Not sure of the reason for your comment ...

@Miss Vlad he was already detached from them emotionally

@Miss Vlad Exactly, just shows how guilty he is…

It's a way to detach from the victims ,emotionally..


20:16 omg I can't imagine anything more intimidating that being told I'm "obviously a really bad liar" like that, by a polygrapher  😬😳😳😳


I always wondered how easy it would be to fool these polygraphs but man, it ain't even about the instrument that thing is just a prop, the detective is brilliant and he got manipulated hard


This series with Chris Watts is so hilarious to me (in terms of him and his behaviour, not what he did to Shannan, Celeste, and Bella). He's the worst liar ever and it's literally so cringy listening to him profess his love for his family and how he would never hurt them because it's so damn fake and he just can't help it 🤣 It's like watching a little kid getting questioned by his parents about a toy he stole from his friend or something. No offence to little kids. And on top of everything he's so deluded that he thought he would be helping himself by going on the news with those gems.

Rest in peace Shannan, Celeste, and Bella


when the interrogator is asking him ways that you could make someone disappear and she says "you could smother someone, you could strangle someone" i felt such an eerie feeling in my chest. crazy to think how she was so dead on. chris did exactly those two things, smothered those poor kids then strangled shannan. knowing what we know now it was chilling to hear her say that. she probably watches that back and feels sick to her stomach.
