A Close Friend Of The Pregnant Woman Whose Husband Killed Her Reveals The Sick Reason Behind The Killing
On the grounds of Anadarko Petroleum, where Shannan’s husband Chris Watts had worked, they were discovered dead. Shannan’s close friend has spoken out to disclose the twisted purpose behind the crime as Chris is likely to be officially charged with the murder of his own family.
Shannan Watts, age 34, was last seen alive by Nickole Atkinson. After the two of them got back from a business trip around two in the morning, she dropped the expectant mother off at her Frederick, Colorado, home. Shannon turned to wave as she unlocked her front door and walked inside.
Atkinson remarked, “She went inside, turned around and waved at me, and shut the door. She will never again see her buddy and coworker, thus it was the last time.
Atkinson started to worry several hours later. Watts had missed a doctor’s appointment and wasn’t returning calls. According to Atkinson, “she was going to get to hear the baby’s heartbeat and see how she or he was doing.” Shannan and her two girls were reported missing later on that day. August 14, Chris begged for his family to be brought back. “I live for my children.
My life is brightened by their smiles, he told ABC7 Denver. “All I want is for them to return. What’s breaking me apart is if they’re not safe right now. Since they will return if they are safe. But if they aren’t, this must end.
Christopher Watts, who is accused of killing his pregnant wife and two daughters, will soon face formal charges of first-degree murder and evidence tampering from Colorado prosecutors. The attorney representing Watts is requesting that DNA samples be collected from the two girls in the most recent court petitions submitted on Friday. It is unknown what the defence intends to do with the samples.
The paperwork also states that the kids were discovered after spending many days in a crude oil tank. The 33-year-old is currently being detained in a Colorado jail after he allegedly confessed to the murders of Shanann, his pregnant wife, and their two daughters, Celeste, 3, and Bella, 4, as well [Source: CBS News].
On Thursday, their remains were found on the grounds of one of his workplaces. We are all perplexed by the horrific circumstances surrounding the Watts’ case because they appeared to be the ideal all-American family: two adorable, healthy young daughters; a new baby on the way; a lovely home in Colorado; and both parents had respectable careers.
Why on earth would Chris murder his wife who was expecting a child and their two daughters? Some have speculated that the violent assassination may have been motivated by the Watts family’s massive debt, which was partly brought on by Shannan’s student loans, which came to light in the days after the murder.
In the weeks preceding the murder, Shannon allegedly believed her husband was having an affair, according to Atkinson. Atkinson said on ABC’s “Good Morning America” that “He wasn’t being the loving Chris that he normally was.” “He wasn’t touching, cuddling, or doing something like that,” she continued
As the last friend to have seen the mother alive speaks up for the first time, it is anticipated that the man who confessed to killing his wife and two daughters will be officially charged later today. Shanann Watts “entertained the possibility” that her husband was cheating on her recently while posting supportive comments about him on Facebook, according to Atkinson. Also, she wasn’t the only friend Shannan had told about the alleged affair. Close friend Amanda Thayer told the media on Friday, “It crossed her mind that maybe he could be cheating.
