TRIVING for Justice: Hot Dad Chris Watts Part 11

[quote]R71 The man is a murderer, plain and simple. His crime is especially heinous because he killed his two daughters, and unborn son, but killing the pregnant wife is equally heinous. There’s no loophole here.

Well, except for pesky little things like a trial and conviction.

This is a podcast by a practicing CO criminal trial attorney, according to him the prosecution already messed up the filing for limiting the autopsy reports. It was out of jurisdiction of the judge so they had to go around to the coroner. He is saying, if they messed up procedurally so early on, what else have they messed up. That if there are other errors, coercion, or lack of due process, that Chris Watts could walk.

She might be worried about a Thrive sheep accidentally telling law enforcement about some of Thrive's shady business dealings. I wouldn't be surprised if Mandy and Shanann were doing something illegal via Thrive. I also vaguely recall a story of an MLM company that was shut down by the feds in the late 90s/early 00s. I'm sure MLMs worry about that and probably advised reps to be careful about what they say to law enforcement.

Truth about how one cannot make money in pyramid scheme like Le Vel aka Thrive in article below. Great breakdown of the actual dollar amount the world's TOP SELLER of Younique makes. We are talking poverty level and mounds of debt.

It is CLEAR that our Chris made ALL the money while greedy Shan'ann was putting the family in serious debt by buying product after product and conning innocent people into a life of poverty and bankruptcy.

Note in video at r35 how Shan'ann scours the tacky Thrive merch saying " Oh I am gonna get that in my size; Chris needs a new hat; I need a new shaker", etc. How about spending Chris's money on your sickly, ignored children, bitch? Being a mother is a sacrifice, you greedy, conniving cunt!

I hope the defense team goes after Thrive/Le-Vel in court. and it would be hilarious to see Thrive reps trying to defend that piece of shit company on social media.Has the claim that Shanann was making 80k selliing Thrive been verified? On a FB group, people have questioned that and many aren't believing it.

One of the issues I've had with the very pro-Shanann fangirls is that they called Chris lazy. The guy is a piece of shit killer, but lazy he was not. It was probably Chris's oil field job that was providing health insurance and paying for the surgeries and treatments of Shanann and the girls. I think the Thrive scam was sinking them back into debt and he snapped due to that and other things S was doing. On the other hand, he was also a Thrive rep and may have gotten to or tried to get people into the scam.

With past cases, of men killing their wives and/or children, there was tons of sympathy for the wives. This is case is different. Shanann was repping for a MLM company and she made a bunch of annoying publicly shared videos shilling the products and using her family as props. In today's social media world, most people can't stand MLM reps who are constantly pushing their products on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram and we all probably at least encountered a Shanann type. There are plenty of Shannan fans/defenders, but they are usually delusional people who really believe that Shannann was doing amazing things because she sold for Thrive.

There are many people who have condemned Chris and do feel sorry for the victims. But, many of those same people have said that Shannan was an asshole peddling crappy products and she likely put the family in debt and just added to many other problems in that household. I've seen people on different sites question the safety of a pregnant woman using Thrive and some people don't believe that Shanann's health issues improved because of Thrive. If Shanann hadn't been involved with Thrive or other MLMs, there would be more people sympathizing with her and a groups like Chris Watts Critical Case discussion might not have popped up.

R57 80k is just a level a Thrive rep gets to based on recruits and PURCHASES and sales made by their "team" which includes higher-ups. If you deduct the myriad bonuses and vacations from that amount, the purchases made by reps, their advertising, car leasing and overhead costs and then divide by the number of suckers on the team you get the real dollar amount a rep was making. 0.04% actually make any money selling Thrive, so Shan'ann is full of SHIT.

I read an analysis of Thrive scam 2fer that used an analogy of "Buy two Honda Civics, get one free. Each Civic costs ONLY $60,000." The company wins by selling 3 civics for $120, 000.

[quote]Shanann's mother co-signed on the Colorado house. Will the bank come after her if Chris doesn't pay his mortgage? I don't know if Chris' parents are handling his finances now.

I think they can go after Shanann's mom. That house is likely to go into foreclosure and both sides of the family will probably just let it happen. My guess that someone related to Chris or Shannann has taken care of at least shutting off the utilities and getting stuff out if the police are done searching the house and got what they needed. Since the house is in HOA, maybe the family is calling someone in to cut the grass and make sure the house stays within code.

Chris is still being defended by public defenders. His family may not have the cash to hire a defense team. The video posted above of the CO lawyer talking about the prosecution slipping up is interesting and from recent articles, it seems like the public defenders are doing a good job of going after the prosecution's slip ups.

R62, I have no idea if the credit card thing is true, but if they had just declared bankruptcy in 2015, I can’t imagine HOW they’d be able to get unsecured credit cards. I’ve seen speculation that they would only be able to get credit cards in the kids’ names. It’s mean to think it, but it’s the only thing that makes sense.

Not sure how it works, but I know scummy people ruin their kids’ credit with this scam. Piece of shit people steal identities and run up credit all the time. If Shannan was scamming with her old boss Hisham, she’d know a thing or two about it. And maybe she justified it by thinking they were going to pay it all back and establish a good credit record for the girls.

I think the bad relationship Shanann had with Chris’s family and the drama that recently happened had a lot to do with the murder and timing of it. After that whole nut incident and Shanann having her dad rush over and pick up her and the girls from in-laws, I think their relationship went really downhill. Chris was probably over her controlling ways and saw her as the reasons for all his problems in their life. Shannan posted on fb about people not respecting Cece’s allergies right after and Chris’s sister commented she was sorry it happened, but Shanann never acknowledged it and liked everyone’s comment but hers. I guarantee she told Chris his family would never see their kids again and he only saw murdering them all as the way out.

R57, your personal feelings about Shannan selling products are one thing, but one can still have sympathy for a woman and her kids who were senselessly murdered.

Chris Watts is what’s called an Annihilator. That’s what they call men and women who murder their entire family.

Though I understand that he may have been under a lot of financial pressure and strains, it doesn’t justify murder of his wife and children. There is nothing defensible about that.

If he was indeed seeking legal separation and/or divorce from her, then he should have stuck with that option, rather than doing something that ended the life of his wife and CHILDREN.

I know lots of these comments on here are meant to be snarky, but yours appears to be a truthful analysis of what you really think. In what planet does selling a caffeine patch, or hundreds of them, justify murder?

I find Shannan to have been a very lonely, bored housewife. Her involvement with this was a way for her to socialize with other frauen, and she was probably sticking it to Chis financially, as a way to passive aggressively get back at him for having affairs, and wanting out. Chris probably encouraged her to sell that stupid shit, because it got her out of town, while attending those stupid conferences. Her involvement in this MLM afforded him time to fuck around on her. He probably put the kids to sleep, and snuck in his lovers while Shannan was away.

Fuck this guy. He’s nothing but a murderous piece of shit. Oh, and the guy isn’t hot, fat or thin.

Chris only dumped the bodies of CeCe and Bella into oil tanks because he wanted to avoid the funeral and burial costs.

Or he killed his wife and unborn son and didn't want to go to jail for that, so he stupidly dumped all their bodies instead of trying to explain to police.

Some of the people defending her probably do the same humiliating shit to their spouses and kids. I also think some of her defenders are the gullible types who believed everything Shanann said in her videos about how she was helping support her family selling Thrive. Then there are the people who when comes to following murder cases always want to think of the victims as saints.

R105, I’ve seen countless comments on FB that say “I guess I’d better watch my back because I’m sarcastic with my husband, too” or “She treated him just fine. I wear the pants in my family and my husband likes it”.

Unless you’re in a dom/sub relationship, NO, he doesn’t.

My mother was like that with her partner. It was excruciating to watch. Look up “learned helplessness”.

You know what else I keep thinking of, is her former boss, Hisham of Dirty South. She was talking to him in one of her live videos. This was the married dude who was her boss at the tire business. The business she was, according to court documents, co-owner of. The business that somehow allowed her to purchase a gigantic new home on a manager’s salary. The same boss who she was helping rip off employees.

Anyway, it’s interesting that she was so fucking eager to get the hell away from NC, but she kept up with her old married boss that she was allegedly banging. And the ex-husband Leonard, whose wife she was friendly with, via Thrive .

I wonder if she was “friends” with Hisham’s wife, too.

I know her type.

Millions of men probably detest their wives. Divorce her!!! Take off!!! You don’t kill them, because you’re exasperated with her behavior, and are strapped for cash.

Now he’s stuck in jail for the rest of his life, and three people are dead. Including an unborn child. This is not the way to resolve conflict. No normal human being does this.

Shannan was a complete idiot for getting involved in this ridiculous MLM. She was a substandard wife and mom. So fucking what? She and the kids didn’t deserve this.

Oh Jesus, R110. Get a grip. NO ONE is glad she and the kids were killed,no one thinks murder is ever justified. Kindly get a hold of yourself.

What is being offered here is the view of her life that is intolerable. The driven to financial ruin so she could have "stuff" ---- cars, houses, clothes, the look. By whatever means necessary, she required material wealth. The only thing is, she didn't quite understand how to go about creating wealth legitimately (like maybe developing marketable skills), and so she play-acted this bullshit sales rep persona till every one who knew her, who had NOT drunken the Kool-Aid, were driven bat-shit crazy.

Chris' mom, Chris, undoubtedly the ex-husband, the ex-tire-store partner, the undoubtedly hundreds of women she had sucked in to buying various MLM pieces of shit and then cast aside when they lost interest.... these people all knew this was sick.

I am SURE these people were stunned at the announcement of a third child. The depths of her depravity were astonishing.

So no, no one thinks she deserved to die. I suspect many like I, believe she should have been locked away in an asylum for the rest of her days.

I have a few clients who are into Scentsy (sp?), LulaRoe (sp?), Le Vel (sp?). They are socially awkward, have a lot of health problems. One is morbidly obese and nearly home bound. And, let’s say that they may not be the best critical thinkers. MLM promises them a sense of purpose and some income without the demands of working on a schedule, under a boss, with expectations, etc. MLM is predatory and sells itself to this type.

I remember an infomercial from years and years ago. This company would send you crappy knick knacks—figurines, back scratchers, various novelties—that you could sell at your flea market booth. They interviewed some of their recruits, and certain themes became apparent: lack of education, poverty, underemployment, personal tragedies that precluded holding a real job.

I’m not saying that Shan’ann (sp?) was one of these, only that MLM seems to attract a certain type, and that there is some degree of naked predation on the part of the MLM companies themselves.

My wife's step-aunt was involved with several MLMs up until her death. The step-aunt had stopped working years before due to health problems. She was begging everyone to buy products, but she was an awful person and had already pissed off most people in the family. She was homophobic towards my wife and my wife's gay male step-cousin

One of the MLMs she was involved was a company called Thirty One which is Christian based and they sell handbags. The step-aunt made a comment to some relatives that even though my wife is a feminine lesbian ---she would never dare try to sell one of those handbags to her.

After my wife had finished paying off pharmacy school loans, the homophobe step-aunt friended her on Facebook after she heard that. She probably figured that since my wife had more money to throw around that she would buy MLM crap. My wife had no problem saying no to her and she would laugh at the step-aunt Facebook page with all the crazy claims about MLMs.

I've known other people similar to the crazy step-aunt and Shannann, they get involved with MLMs either because they can't or refuse to work many regular jobs. A high school classmate of mine has four daughters and sells for Rodan and Fields. She constantly uses those girls as her "before and after" pics to push the products. Sometimes those girls don't look all that happy in the pics.

R218, the allocution will happen anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. Both the Prosecution and the Defense will want to cross all their T's and dot all their I's. The law grinds exceedingly slowly but it grinds exceedingly fine.

One good thing is that guilty pleas are not usually allowed to be appealed, only in the most extraordinary circumstances.

Why Did Chris Watts Murder His Wife & Kids? D.A. Has 'Partial Motive' — but Can't Release It Yet

With Colorado father Chris Watts‘ guilty plea on Tuesday, it’s no longer legally in dispute who killed his wife of nearly six years, Shan’ann Watts, and their young daughters, Bella and Celeste.

But another question remains: Why did he do it?

“We believe that we have a partial motive,” Weld County District Attorney Michael Rourke told reporters later Tuesday, after Chris, 33, pleaded guilty to nine charges including first-degree murder.

“I’m not sure if it’s the entirety of the motive, but I will be happy to comment on that following sentencing,” Rourke said.

He stressed that to say more, with the sentencing nearly two weeks away, would be to reveal too much of what investigators had learned.

“Ask me again [on] … the day after, the day of sentencing,” he said. “I will be happy to answer that question. At this point, that’s getting a little too far into the investigation at least as we sit right now.”

Those who knew the Watts family have described a seemingly happy marriage possibly beset by rising tension, and his infidelity has drawn scrutiny: Authorities have said Chris was cheating with a co-worker when he murdered 34-year-old Shan’ann, Bella, 4, and Celeste, 3.

A source close the investigation previously told PEOPLE that Chris has had relationships with both men and women outside of his marriage.

Chris’ surprise plea this week — which will see him spend the rest of his life in prison in exchange for being spared a possible death penalty — put an end to his months of lies about what really happened to his family in mid-August.

First he claimed that they had disappeared on their own, with Shan’ann taking their daughters to an unnamed friends’ home. Later, according to his arrest affidavit, Chris claimed he killed Shan’ann in a “rage” at home after watching her strangle Celeste when he said he wanted to separate.

“What I can tell you most affirmatively today, by what happened in the court room, is the spotlight that he tried to shine on Shanann falsely, incorrectly and frankly, a flat-out lie, has been corrected,” Rourke said Tuesday.

“The spotlight shines directly where it belongs: on him.”

Motive is not the only still-publicly unknown fact of the case following Chris’ plea.

Asked what Chris had told authorities about his guilt — if he explained the actual timeline of the murders — Rourke said, “I don’t know the answer to that question.”

“We talked a lot about whether we would require [Chris] to come forward and give us what we hope to be a complete,, accurate and truthful statement,” Rourke continued.

But, he said, “I think all of us who were involved never truly believed that he would give us an accurate statement.”

The craigslist killer was a medical student. Didn't want to suffer the humiliation of public exposure. Didn't want to be seen as the idiot who had everything going for him and fucked it up.

Chris Watts is undoubtedly going to become something of a cult figure. Like Scott Peterson. Plenty of people in the world who thought Laci Peterson was a bitch from hell; likewise with Shanann and all her thrive bullshit. The variable is the kids. Scott Peterson, like Chris Watts killed his unborn child. But Chris strangled his babies. That might piss the wrong psychopath off.

I don't think he'll kill himself, though. If he was that depressed, he'd have killed himself like the other annihilators have ---- after he killed Shanann and the kids. I can see him getting offed in prison, but I kind of doubt it. I think he's going to adapt and maybe even achieve some kind of contentment.

When I watched Shanann discuss how she was going to turn her Lexus in early and get an Audi instead,.... just cuz she could, I thought, "Jesus, I'd have killed this twat long before he did." And that thinking may be shared by the psychopaths in prison (great minds? yeah, yeah, I can hear the other twats now).

Which may save his life. Such as it is.

These people were consuming an inordinate amount of this Thrive bullshit (see attached video). Has this stuff been studied in any way? Does it have long-term adverse effects on mood or cognition?

What about MLM schemes in combination with the Thrive bullshit? Did the stress of this situation create homicidal thoughts?

The whole perfect storm aspect of it all seems to not matter, and it seems to me OUGHT to be studied.

The mother of Christopher Watts is coming to his defense because she says someone has to fight for him.

Cynthia Watts called our newsroom yesterday to tell us that her son, who earlier this month pleaded guilty to killing his pregnant wife and two young daughters, should withdraw his guilty plea.

Watts' mother said she thinks her son's public defenders were focused on sparing him from the death penalty rather than representing his best interests. Read more from Kirk Mitchell's interview here.

by Anonymousreply 268November 13, 2018 6:07 PM

[quote] One good thing is that guilty pleas are not usually allowed to be appealed, only in the most extraordinary circumstances.

Guilty pleas can be "withdrawn" for only limited reasons. Some jurisdictions make it easier than others - case law, the actual law. In my jurisdiction the judge does an extensive, lengthy inquiry of the defendant to ensure s/he understands the charges, the elements the prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt, exactly what the penalty could be, whether they feel they have had enough time to discuss with their lawyer the charges and to discuss with them whether to go to trial or plead guilty, what pleading guilty means. The judge also inquires as to whether the defendant has had any medication, drugs or alcohol which jay be interfering with their ability to think clearly and understand the judge. And it is explained that the plea can't be withdrawn because the defendant doesn't like the judge's sentence and that there are very limited reasons why you can withdraw.

I have seen pleas taken in other jurisdictions that do none of this. Perhaps those states don't care. LOL!

Anyway some of the reasons for withdrawal that have been granted: lawyer didn't fully explain the charges, lawyer didn't full explain the possible sentence and all its collateral consequences for the defendant e.g., registration as sex offender, loss of some right, defendant didn't have sufficient time or information to make an informed decision, defendant was affected by an illness or medication at time of the plea, maybe even the judge made a mistake. Maybe new or already uncovered evidence is found or not related to the defense or by the attorney to the defendant.

This may seem like a lot of reasons but it's really not. It IS hard to withdraw a guilty plea but it's not impossible. Some grounds are easier to make than others. Blaming the defense attorney is always a good one. The courts always seem ready to believe defendants when they are throwing their attorneys under the bus. Probably the only time when they do believe them. All that happens is that they go back into pretrial status. Sometimes a new attorney is appointed - naturally after you have accused your current attorney of essentially malpractice - and that attorney gets a new plea offer accomplished. Or not.

But Watts doesn't want to die and no way can I see him going to trial.

by Anonymousreply 269November 13, 2018 6:09 PM

I thought there was no DP in Colorado? I heard that the plea was given along with details of how HE killed the kids and that is part of the deal, so can now say that was said under duress? Fuck this guy.

Not true r270. The deal, which was presented to the defense by the DA, stipulated that if Watts pleaded guilty he would avoid the death penalty. This, after the DA spoke extensively with Shan'anna'na's family. Seems that Shan'ann's family are the ones who wanted to avoid a trial. Hmmm.

Meanwhile, Chris is in solitary with no access to outside information and the DA gives the press conference in which he states that in CO the death penalty is near impossible to actually accomplish and cites some BLACK man who has been on CO death row for years and will probably die on death row.

Something is really OFF about this case. It reeks of HOMOPHOBIA.

I want to hear more about her employment at a tire store, which an earlier poster alluded to. She had a 309k mortgage! What was her income and how did it get approved!

And then the 2013 400k Frederick house was only purchased in Chris’ name, again with a tiny 20k down payment. Shanann was later added to the deed.

And even though the Frederick house was appraised at 445k in 2015 when they filed BK, and houses were being bid up far above appraised value, their declared it was only worth 400k in the BK filing. And they declared zero value for all of the furniture and stuff they bought to outfit the house, which they were discharging and ripping off the creditors for.

R291, here’s what I think. She was running with a shady crowd. The girl didn’t have a college degree, she left home at age 19 (according to her). Rumors that she was fucking her boss, the tire rim guy, and pulling a fraud at the company. He had her managing one of the stores. In a lawsuit, she was listed as a “co-owner” of the business. She was griftong or embezzling.

That’s how she afforded the $400k house, as a single female degree-less retail manager.

I’m not sure if it was in cahoots with the boss or not. He looks like a shady thug and I wouldn’t have tried to cross him.

She also talked about losing all her friends because of her “lupus” and I think the “diagnosis” was pure bullshit. I think the friends ditched her because she was a dirty grifter and she got caught out.

I’m not saying lupus isn’t real; I don’t believe Shanann had it. She had plenty of medical knowledge from nursing school and her RN best friend who she ghosted after Thrive took over. There’s not a lab test that conclusively diagnoses it, like a pregnancy test or a cancer biopsy. From the Mayo Clinic:

“Diagnosing lupus is difficult because signs and symptoms vary considerably from person to person. Signs and symptoms of lupus may vary over time and overlap with those of many other disorders.

No one test can diagnose lupus. The combination of blood and urine tests, signs and symptoms, and physical examination findings leads to the diagnosis.”

What a perfect disease for factitious disorder. Along with fibromyalgia, RA, CFS. Hypochondriac bitches love those. No one can tell them they’re not tired or stiff and HIPAA prevents discussion of diagnosis.

Yeah, R296. Those kinds of videos are popping up now on Plunder and she comes off as a sadistic asshole. Like she sees the kids as video topics. I am guessing that was why Bella was getting so dark and depressed. Shanann was taking videos of them falling off of furniture and then not dropping the camera even when they were hysterical with fright. Screeching and sobbing.

The power dynamic had shifted in the last 5 months or so. Shanann was making videos, shilling thrive crap, when Bela would come to her in tears (Mommy I am cold. Mommy I am hungry.)… and now Shanann looks her in the eye, and says pleadingly, "Just a few more minutes Mami….. PLEASE?!?!"

I suspect Bella had come to the realization that hysterics could ruin the video.

I don't know why r491 is so stunned about how she could afford a house then. Ever hear of rich parents? Or someone in the family with money to loan or yeah, the lawyer guy. I had lots of trustafarian friends and was one for awhile too. It's not that weird.

Didn’t both girls also have dramatic nut allergies and another illness? I believe that they both also had a medical procedure done in a hospital (a joint surgery of some kind; was it inner ear?) shortly before they died...

Do any of the nurses here think it’s possible that Shannan had Munchausen by proxy?

R299, Shanann’s family is not wealthy. Not by a long shot. (Neither is Chris’s.) They have declared bankruptcy at least once. If I had to classify them, I’d put them middle class at best.

Her lawyer ex-husband is not wealthy. He’s a public defender in NC, at a salary of $65k/yr currently. At the time of their brief marriage, he was either still in law school or starting out in his career, and not making any $65k. She did not leave that marriage a wealthy woman. You can see his current home online and it’s a small, modest old home.

Apparently her mother did co-sign the loan on their new home in Frederick. Stupid move.

The person earning the most in that family was Chris, and he was bled dry.

^^ Maybe things in NC are different, but in the NY metro area, there is NO WAY a single woman managing a tire store could have afforded the house she had. Who wrote her that mortgage? Even if she could cover the mortgage and interest, property taxes, insurance, utilities (heating and cooling that huge house would cost a lot!), maintenance and landscaping... Not to mention she had a car and a closet full of fancy shoes and purses.

The money was coming from somewhere, and it wasn’t a retail manager’s salary alone.

Did she have roommates?

Ok, wow, this is the best TV interview I’ve seen with the parents (and no I don’t know why this station chose to blur their faces and others did not, but anyway....). That mom HATED Shan'ann!

From “the beginning”, this interview says.

If you watch the whole thing the reporter says that the parents didn’t even *go to* the wedding.

And when asked “what happened to the nice kid from high school?”, the mom says quickly and loudly (she’s loud) “I’ll tell you what happened to him...Shan’ann happened to him! He knew what *he* was going to do, he had a plan for his life, he was going to work for NASCAR—was going to NASCAR technical institute—then he met HER!”

It’s crazy. I think Shan’ann was a crazy bitch, but I’m also thinking Chris’ mom is a crazy bitch and that is why Chris was “drawn” to her (people marry those like their parents, etc.)

Watts dad is so passive and quiet and his mom is so loud and controlling. Sound familiar?

The mom sounds gleeful that Shan’ann was wiped out and doesn’t seem to sweat the grandkids being dead *at all*.

I think she would have liked the whole “Shan’ann chapter” erased from his life (kids included).

Probably way more neatly than this, I’m sure, but I don’t think the mom particularly minds them all being “erased” nonetheless.

It sounds like her main gripe was that Shan’ann prevented Chris from reaching his goals and potential in life (and she may have felt similarly about the grandkids from Shan’ann).

I think it’s possible that Chris’s mom was a narcissist and that he married another narcissist—or similarly personality disordered person—in Shan’ann.

The 2009 deed of trust shows the grantor is Shanann Cathryn King, an unmarried woman. The mortgage trustee (lender for $309,065) is WR Starkey Mortgage, Plano TX. She profited, after realtor fees, maybe 10k in the 2012 sale. Which is about half of the down payment for the Frederick house and its 385k or so mortgage. The 2013 deed was originally only in Chris’ name, even though they were married in 2012. Shan’ann was added later.

by Anonymousreply 305November 15, 2018 3:18 PM

Editing my R305 post - she made about 29k in the 2009 sale, after maybe 6% realtor fees and some mortgage balance pay down, so she profited about 4K in the 3 years she owned the place. But she probably ran up debt in that time, as a lot of the BK creditors are from NC.

Right after the BK was granted, Shanann quit her hospital call center job of 22k/yr. By then she was involved in direct marketing, as the filing showed she made $111.00 a month from sales commissions. It’s too bad there won’t be a trial to see how she got so into this Le-Vel crap.

Mama Watts is probably a little crazy. Doesn’t mean she’s wrong about Shanann.

I think Shanann was disappointed that she couldn’t transform her hot hubby into a Thriving megastar. We already know she was trying to change him: she threw out his dorky clothing and gave him a wardrobe makeover. He was happy fixing cars, but that didn’t fit in with her aspirational brand. The next best thing would be to turn him into a hottt superstar Thrive salesman. I’ll bet a million bucks that she ditched the first husband because he wasn’t going to be a law partner and his big ambition was public defender of some podunk NC town.

Poor Shanann. Couldn’t land herself a rich husband to save her life.

by Anonymousreply 311November 15, 2018 7:34 PM

I think Chris Watts was living a life of quiet desperation for a LONG time - estranged from the parents, drowning in debt, working a job he hated, hitched to that overbearing, controlling shrew, and - I think most telling - saddled with two kids who apparently had SOME type of "issues" and unable to face the fact of yet another one being born. Clearly not a happy man, happy marriage or happy family.

It was the killing of the two kids that likely kept the defense from trying to mount a "sudden passion" or insanity defense. Interesting to me that he detaches himself from the kids by accusing her of killing them. A really intense psychological evaluation of him would be interesting, but too late for that now. But he was clearly a guy who felt trapped and was very unhappy for a long time. Fucks with your head.

R312, I agree. And I do think he’s different from Scott Peterson and the other family annihilators. He’s a unique case. I kept asking why he didn’t just LEAVE them.

Answer: It’s difficult for an abused spouse to leave their partner. He knew he’d never see the kids again if he left. If he killed just Shanann, his in-laws would get custody of the kids and he knew his parents couldn’t abide that.

Just throwing around ideas. Who really knows?

I think it's a cautionary tale of how living such a fake life on the internet and keeping up with the Joneses will drive people to financial and moral ruin. An ugly story, to be sure. Shanann was a narcissist and very dominating, Chris was meek and went along with everything for years and then finally snapped.

It reminds me a little of that lesbian couple that drove off a cliff in that the way they portrayed themselves was completely different from who they really were and it became too much pressure to keep up the pretense. I wonder if Chris planned to kill himself but changed his mind last minute.

Wow, R321, thanks! This info (from the parents and gf is coming in so fast now..)

I’m shocked that the mistress, Nichol, is saying that they were only dating for about two months (from late June and started sleeping together in early July)!

And then he killed his entire family in August; WTF?!? Everyone was thinking that this was some hot and heavy “long term affair”.

What’s also weird is that he told Nichol that he was nearing the end of divorce proceedings with his wife (not that shocking of a lie) and that he *had two young daughters*.

So the mistress knew and was supportive of him having kids. That makes the motive to murder the daughters even weirder—it’s not like it was a big lie he was hiding from this woman he was in love with or something. She knew all about him having two daughters.

Really wondering about his motive to murder all of them now (besides Shan’ann—who he clearly hated and felt trapped by).

How would he explain to his gf that he suddenly didn’t have kids anymore?

Also: when did Shan’ann become pregnant with the son? Was that what set him off the edge?

Still doesn’t explain him murdering the two daughters though.

This case is so fascinating to me; I would love to know the truth behind the motives and what really went on. And WTF Chris was really thinking...

For someone as controlling as Shan’ann, didn’t she notice and get pissed that Chris was gone all the time?? Wouldn’t she be tracking his phone and his texts, etc.?

That’s weird that Chris apparently had all this free time constantly, with a controlling wife and two kids at home...

by Anonymousreply 326November 16, 2018 9:54 AM

Also, to most of you following the case: when do you think Chris decided to kill the kids and why?

Was it spur of the moment, just that last weekend, or months in the planning?

I’ve always thought that he may have wanted to kill the wife for years, but I can’t make any sense of when/why about the kids.

It’s even harder to guess now because, Chris apparently even said to the mistress a few weeks before he killed the kids that he wanted the gf’s help to find a new apartment that would be suitable for himself and his two young daughters.

So, it sounded like he was planning on a life with the gf and the daughters: when did that go away??

It’s been more bizarre to me now, because you can’t just explain away two daughters to a girlfriend who already cares about their welfare, so WTF was he thinking and when did he decide that the kids had to go along with Shan’ann?

Yes, R328, but the article seems to differentiate from when they were just co-workers (in the workplace) to when they started seeing each other “outside of work” (their words).

It says that they first saw each other “outside of work in late June and became physically involved in early July and then started seeing each other four to five times per week”. This definitely sounds like “outside of work” in the article.

The gf also said Chris “lied all the time” and “lied about everything”, so maybe he spun some fantastic yarns for Shan’ann multiple times each week about where he was?

Weird behavior from Chis after the murders/after the girls and Shan’ann were announced “missing”, per Nichol:

“In a flurry of long calls and texts that night, Watts changed his story about his split with his wife.

Kessinger barraged Watts with questions: Were there signs someone had forced themselves into the home? Were the daughters’ car seats still there? Was one of the girls’ EpiPens still in the house?

Watts didn’t show any emotion during their conversations and tried to change the subject away from his missing family, Kessinger said.

“It seemed off,” Kessinger said.

by Anonymousreply 330November 16, 2018 10:10 AM

More odd behavior from Chris, this time the morning after the murders, per the gf:

“On Aug. 13, the Monday that Shanann and the girls disappeared, Watts texted Kessinger to say that he had been busy. The two chatted like normal throughout the workday.

About 3:45 p.m., Watts texted that his family was “gone,” she said. He told Kessinger that Shanann had taken the girls to a play date and had not returned. He seemed casual and didn’t show any emotion, she said.

Kessinger was worried about his missing family, but she didn’t want to make a big deal out of a situation that Watts seemed calm about. Then, news reporters showed up at the Watts’ family home.

“I was very confused why the media was at his house,” she said.

by Anonymousreply 331November 16, 2018 10:13 AM

The above quotes make we wonder what exactly was wrong with Chris Watts (seriously), because something obviously was.

Casually calling the gf the day of, saying his family was “gone” and then changing the subject and acting casual about the whole thing like it would go away and the gf wouldn’t care/notice?

How could he have such a limited understanding of human behavior and normal everyday emotional reactions?

He seems to really not get it or even understand how he should “pretend” to act under such circumstances.

Was he sociopath (which, I agree, he feels completely different from a Scott Peterson type), narcissist, Aspergers?

I’m curious, because he doesn’t seem to “get” the smallest most obvious things about humans on a basic level.

Some murderers will even “fake cry” and put on a show of worry to seem “normal”, but not Chris!

I think he’s a covert narcissist and a sociopath who’s too dumb to pull it off.

He told her lies. Lies that married men tell their stupid mistresses all the time: My wife doesn’t understand me, she doesn’t give me sex, she’s psycho, she’s cheating on me, I’m leaving her. Standard fare.

And for a hot fling, these women don’t really care. They enjoy being the other woman. I had a friend who was banging a married man and she spent twice as much time talking shit about the wife than she did talking about how great the man was. She enjoyed being better and hotter than the wife. (Even when the wife got pregnant, it didn’t deter her. The final straw was finding out she wasn’t the only mistress!)

There was a rumor that Chris and the mistress were seen with the kids in Denver and Nichol was pretending to be Shanann, i.e., the girls’ mother. Who knows if it’s true.

I’d love to know how many times she’d met the kids and spent time at the home. Especially while they were all in N.C. Not that I give his story much weight, but Trent Bolte also claimed to have met the kids.

Shanann had no problem dumping the kids on her parents and babysitters while she was traveling to Thrive conventions. Although she went on some trips with Chris, more than half were without him. He was left holding the bag a LOT. He’s working a hard labor job, coming home to two pain in the ass kids and she’s off having cosmos with her fat Thrive fraus. It had to rankle.

I suspect that Chris and Nichol were banging in work trucks out in the field during work hours.

He wouldn’t have had much time to himself until Shanann took the kids to N.C. It seems he left the house early in the morning and maybe he was allowed to go to the “gym” before getting home? Although there are videos of him working out at home with the kids crawling all over him. Maybe they couldn’t afford a gym membership.

But while Shanann was gone, wouldn’t the neighbors have noticed him having a female guest? Or not coming home at night? Those little developments are hotbeds of Gladys Kravitzes - the neighbors saw them arguing in the driveway and noticed Chris pulling his truck into the garage earlier than usual on the day he disposed of their bodies. Maybe people noticed and decided to keep their mouths shut?

R354, I’ll bite. I think she was a bossy bitch just like Shanann and his mother. He liked that. A rumor-comment said that Nichol was “spoiled” and that stuck out to me. He certainly had a type. So for all that I think Shanann talked down to him and pushed him around, he was attracted to that.

What I find interesting is that Shanananana said that Chris pursued her. And Nichol; “One day in the middle of June, he walked into her office to introduce himself. “

For all his apparent awkwardness and quiet manner (and absence of pussy-chasing when younger), he certainly went after what he wanted. I’m curious about this. He was a good-looking guy (even when chunkier his face is pleasant). But sometimes guys have good looks but there’s something off-putting in their behavior that warns women away. I know a few IRL. And, conversely, not very attractive men who have great personalities that women really like. Was Chris one of those weirdos?

My domineering mother chose a pleasant-looking doormat for her second life partner. He was a very nice man, but boring. It was the exact same dynamic as Chris and Shanann. Oh, and he was financially stable, although my mother is not a spender like Shanann but a frugal person, so they didn’t have financial stress.

My point to all this is that before the doormat she settled down with, she dated an “alpha” guy who didn’t put up with her bullying and broke up with her. She always said she missed him because he was “manly” and she respected him. But she wasn’t happy with any of them, always trying to change them.

Example: I have seen Kunis both at the grocery store and at a professional industy event and it was like night and day—from plain Jane frau to stunning beauty. It was hard to believe that it was the same person.

SW was the kind of woman who was passably attractive, but whose attractiveness was entirely alterable by the impression one had of her. If you didn't know you could think she was pretty. After a massive dose of LeVel MLM bullshit, and the unceasing narcissism, it was impossible to see any beauty there at all.

Don't forget that Chris was screwing other women and men. What about his other mistress who worked at Anadarko as well -- ANF? Married with at least one child. Her husband works at Anardarko too. One rumor is that it was the husband who had video proof of Chris and ANF on a date at the Casino Lake Mall , Saturday night while the Watts kids were being watched by the teenage babysitter. Supposedly the husband sent the video to Shanann while she was returning from AZ and that is what sparked the fatal fight Sunday night.

[quote]Did he forbid her from working a proper job or career away from home or something? This is a classic sign of manipulation.

There’s no evidence of that being the case. It seems her business was costing them money, tho, as people usually LOSE money on Multi Level Marketing schemes. The Wattses had already filed for bankruptcy once, so he probably WISHED she were working and contributing actual income.

[quote]was she planning to leave or divorce Chris Watts?

by Anonymousreply 381November 19, 2018 1:45 AM

Plus R380, she represented the worst in women: she manipulated people, and situations for her own personal gain. She was willing to sacrifice CW's interests entirely for her own. And feelmself-righteou about doing it (It's for my precious babies, dammit!!!)

There is a famous video in which she videos his reaction as she informs him she is pregnant. It is clearly not welcome news and I suspect the final nail in her own coffin. He realizes at that moment that his life will never be more than minimalist misery. Gone are his dreams of NASCAR mechanic work, of getting away from this woman, of freedom from her controlling manipulative bullshit.

No one has said so, but it appears to be clear that she planned that pregnancy without his consent. She trapped him. She had clearly calculated what her life without CW would be financially (the MLM work would never ever get her to even lower middle class life). He didn't make much money but it was more than twice what she was earning or ever had earned. She was a high school graduate, but nothing more and could not land jobs that were above minimum wage. Not a problem for a homesteading home-schooling mom but that was not Shanann.

Ironically, she was intimidated by the LeVel crowd. On her own, she could go on and on about the product and about being there for her team; when other LeVel hucksters joined her, she became completely silent and introverted. She was out of her comfort range and clearly knew she would never reach the dizzying heights of success in the MLM world, and certainly wouldn't do so if she had to get another 9-5 job to support herself.

So people loathe her for being grasping, and selfish and narcissistic. She sacrificed everyone and everything she held dear for her own ambition. She was a terrible mom. Her children were growing cold, and resentful of her, at the age of 2 and 4. Her husband was cheating on her (and clearly felt justified in doing so), her in-laws wanted nothing to do with her, she had no friends outside of her LeVel world, and even her parents were getting sick of the MLM bullshit.

So yeah, she certainly didn't deserve to die and certainly her kids didn't either, but unforeseeable? Hardly. This was all careening out of control for years now, and came to a head when she revealed her latest pregnancy. It was just too much for someone not equipped to deal with her, or her insanity.

R382, Shannan is no different or even worse than women AND men who post daily about themselves on social media. Some are selling some crap, and some are addicted to “likes”.

I genuinely do not see all of this shit about Shan’ann. She just looks like a boring, stay at home frau, who hadn’t any clue about what she really wanted in life.

Let me explain something to men, about women. There are a lot of women out there who say they are feminists. They claim that they are evolved, and can go at it without a man. And some do. But the truth is, that a lot of them are terrified of being alone. They convince themselves that a miserable life with the wrong partner, is better than a miserable life alone. Who’s to say that they’re wrong? Men do the same thing.

There are a lot of women out there who are doing the same crap Shan’ann did, and they’re married to men just like Chris, minus the murderer part.

Most couples are unhappy. Ask them. They all start with the same stuff about marriage being “work”. And it probably is, but most people don’t love their jobs, just like plenty of people no longer adore their partners.

Relationships aren’t always meant to last forever, and murdering someone will definitely make you a free man in prison.

Welcome to the boring lives of people living in boring, little American towns, where sex is the most exciting thing happening.

Watts was a boring, duplicitous dirtbag, who blamed women for all of his problems, and used them to solve his problems too.

Women. We have it worse than you guys will EVER understand. Everyone hates us. Even when we are murdered by our psychopath husbands. We even hate each other, and ourselves.

With regard to the "Just get a divorce!" and "He wanted a new start!" arguments: what is interesting to me in a case like this, and in the Scott Peterson case, is how the perpetrators seem to have such a single fixated focus on the object of their desire. It must take over their consciousness so completely that they become nearly robotic when it comes to the execution (pardon the pun) of their plan. Both these cases required elaborate planning - neither one was really a "crime of passion." And they leave a trail of evidence and fuckups that leads to their eventual conviction - not to mention having to go through the whole charade of "they're missing/come home" scenario, which is clearly full of holes from the jump? Can they really not envision a divorce, child support, and whatever financial disaster that may bring? Half the marriages in this country end up like that. Do they really truly think the new piece of tail is their ticket to a "new start?" In both these cases, the mistresses, like Amber Frey, were pretty flummoxed by the whole thing in the first place, (like thinking Scott was a single guy, calling her from fucking PARIS??) What's the lure of creating these gigantic webs of lies? They seem laser focused on one thing, and having to cross the line into actual murder, taking a life, doesn't seem to bother them at all.

Never mind the wealth of clues they leave in their wake - Scott Peterson made fucking cement molds to weigh the body down, went "fishing" on fucking CHRISTMAS EVE, left a trail of PHOTOS and phone calls with Amber Frey, wearing a stupid SANTA HAT, for fuck's sake.

I wonder if it's somehow the pregnancy that sets them off; in Peterson's case, it only took one, whereas in Chris' case I don't think he could bear the thought of having another child.

But why they don't just go ahead and take off is a mystery to me. There clearly is something vengeful and near orgiastic about killing them. Hiding the bodies and covering their tracks is another thing entirely.

R400 - According to the autopsy report, Bella had a dislocated shoulder. She was fighting for her life so hard while being smothered that she had that lot of bruising on her face and she bit her tongue a number of times. Also, her butt had scratch marks on it from being shoved into the tank and some blond hair was found at the entry to the tank. This happened while he was struggling to shove her body into the tank.

Poor, poor Bella.

She fought really hard, bit her tongue several times, and had a bruised face from trying to save her life, etc.

Chris smothered them both. Fuck. And apparently the only things he was searching for online were vacation spots to take the new girlfriend during the time he would have been plannning the murders and afterwards.

What a cold motherfucker.

Can someone explain the details about Shan’ann’s death? They said today that there were *no* defensive wounds but there were fingernail indents on the side of her neck from being strangled.

How could Chris have got her so that she at no point could she have fought back? Is there any evidence he hit her over the head first (like to stun or render her defenseless)?

Also: do we think Bella knew it was Chris who was killing her, or did he do it in the dark while she was sleeping and the pillow would have obscured her view of him? (Was it even a pillow he used?)

R410 - the Weld County DA held a press conference and took some questions afterwards from reporters. There were questions that he could not answer about the murders because only Chris knew the details. Chris didn't have to say anything at today's sentencing and unless he gives an interview or releases more details, we will never know how it all happened. Shan'ann had just gotten home from an out of town trip just before 2am and the friend she was with said she wasn't feeling well. Also, since she was pregnant, I'm just guessing that she was dead tired and was sleeping when attacked. By the time she awakened, she may have been basically unconscious and couldn't fight back before expiring.

r411 - Celeste (CC) did not show signs of a struggle. They assumed she was sleeping when she was smothered.

by Anonymousreply 412November 20, 2018 3:22 AM

Also: I’m more than ever thinking that there was something seriously mentally wrong with Chris or his brain.

So many of the things he did were so bizarrely stupid that I can’t explain it on any logical level:

-He dumped Shan’ann’s body in the bedsheet from their bedrooom and threw the other bedsheet in the trash (the police could even tell it was the same sheet from their bedroom when they saw it from the sky with a drone).

-He called the girls school the *day of* the murders (at that time their “disappearance”) to unenroll them!

-He called a realtor the day of the murders to talk about selling the house!

-He texted the mistress the afternoon of the murders to say that his family (including two young daughters) was now “gone” and then changed the subject to talk about the future with the mistress

-He threw at least one of the self-help/marriage rescue books that Shan’ann had given him in the trash at home and left it there the day of/after the murders

This stuff is just shockingly idiotic.

Chris’ teacher in high school had said that Chris was his best student ever and Chris got school scholarships to the NASCAR technical institute and things like that. He was also said by several people to be very smart and possess a “photographic memory” like nothing they had ever seen.

So, what the fuck?!? How could he be one of the stupidest criminals I’ve ever read about?

I mean, unenrolling his daughters at school the day he killed them/they were reported missing is one of the things that stands out the most and I just find totally mind boggling.

You would think he would have to be mentally challenged to do such stupid things when executing a crime that could put him in jail for life.

What was wrong with his brain??

The prosecutor said that they can’t say for sure, but the evidence (and what they say or the way the article is written?) seems to suggest that Shan’ann was strangled “slowly” while she was asleep (she didn’t appear to fight back) and that—surprisingly—all three were killed after Shan’ann came back from the trip and went to bed.

It does not appear that the girls were killed before Shan’ann got home (as I had always guessed).

Sounds like (again, surprisingly) that Chris was *obsessed* with the new mistress (“searching (things about) her on his phone day and night” according to this prosecutor) and that this really was a main motivating factor for the murders.

From People:

“At the same time that Shan’ann was trying to see what could be saved between them, Chris was continuing his affair, according to authorities. Kessinger told the Post that she and Chris met at the end of June and their relationship turned physical in July. Shan’ann had become pregnant around the end of April.

“While Shan’ann texted the defendant over and over again in the days and weeks leading up to her death attempting to save her marriage, the defendant secreted pictures of his girlfriend into his phone and searched and texted her at all hours of the night,” Rourke said in court on Monday.

More:

“Shan’ann spent those six weeks in North Carolina with her family caring for her daughters and still working at her part-time sales job.

Chris, on the other hand, spent his time “searching the internet for secluded vacation spots to take his new love — and researching jewelry,” Roarke said.

Not only that, he told the court, Chris “went to car museums in the sand dunes with his new girlfriend,” while his wife and daughters were away.”

“The stark contrast between the subjects of their internet and text content is absolutely stunning,” Rourke said.“

CNN had a pretty good story on the case and sentencing.

It *sounds* like Shan’ann was killed first while she was sleeping and then Chris killed the two girls while they were sleeping (but Bella woke up and tried to fight back).

That is all so different than I imagined things going down....

Also, Shan’ann suspected an affair for a reason:

“Shanann Watts noticed her husband's suspicious behavior, Rourke said.

"We knew that she was getting alerts on her phone of credit cards being used at a restaurant in north Denver at a time that she was in North Carolina for amounts of money that one person couldn't possibly probably consume reasonably," the prosecutor said.

"We know that she confronted him about that numerous times," Rourke said. "We knew that he was never completely forthcoming with her."

Details on the unsealed autopsy reports (if someone has a better story, please post it).

Shan’ann, Bella, and Celeste were all in night clothes/pajama type clothes when their bodies were found (Shan’ann was in a purple shirt and underwear).

This whole case is so different than I had imagined it.

How could he let them all go to sleep (and probably help the girls get in their night clothes and get ready for bed) knowing that he was going to do this?

It’s so evil and predatory.

The prosecutors said too that these deaths were intimate and personal and took “minutes not seconds”. It’s really brutal.

The prosecutor also referred to Chris several times as an “annihilator”. So I guess he fits into the “family annihilator” category?

I think Nichol underplayed it by saying she barely knew him.

As someone else mentioned, she and Chris were all over each other and if they were spending 4-5 days a week, that’s pretty hot and heavy.

I’m sure it’s horrific to discover that your love interest killed his pregnant wife and preschoolers to be with you.

R438, I don’t think she WANTED to know the truth. It would have been incredibly easy for Nichol Kessinger to google Shanann and see.

Nichol DID have a FB profile. It was deactivated quickly, along with her online presence. She lawyered up and had herself scrubbed from the internet. I don’t know that she was FB friends with Chris, because he deleted his before the murders.

He probably told her they were separated, she had her suspicions but didn’t care to examine it too closely. She could always say (as she indeed did) “he told me they were getting a divorce” which is what EVERY married horndog since the dawn of time says. It’s a bit disingenuous.

But whatever. I’m sure she didn’t think he would slaughter his family.

Idk why these shitheads want the wives dead (no child support? Can’t let her live w/o him, with a new man? Belief that he’s avenging some harm he imagines she caused him?). But when a dude murders the people he’s lived with intimately for years, it’s not about some random other person he met recently.

R467, I have a crackpot theory that the kids were sick because their house was full of toxic fumes from the cheap building materials used by greedy developers. They didn’t seem to spend much time outdoors and Shanann didn’t seem like the type to open the windows and let the fresh air in.

I could be wrong, of course.

by Anonymousreply 468November 21, 2018 12:28 AM

The autopsy report said that Shanann had a pattern imprinted in her neck, which suggests that he used a chain or belt to strangle her. I don't think she was asleep when he strangled her; more likely he came up behind her, slipped a chain or belt around her neck and squeezed.

For 5 minutes. In that way she could kick or try to free herself from the constricture, but she would not be able to retaliate against Chris.

As to Bela, it is likely she kicked and struggled when he placed the pillow over her face. If she kicked him in the nuts, that would explain why he slugged her. Fury.

As to CeeCee; she was always a sort of lah-de-dah accept it all as it comes kind of kid. I suspect she was a very sound sleeper (and was probably drugged) and the smothering was probably easy.

He does seem idiotic. So does Nicole. They were made for each other.

I thought Colorado had banned the death penalty. No?

My prediction: IF he akes it through the first 2 or 3 months in prison, he'll survive long-term. He'll meet other men who have done similar things and then feel more comfortable. But if he loses all hope and decides he'd be better off dead, he'll find a way to off himself, or maybe make himself available for that shank mentioned up-thread.

They were just unfortunate-looking and she resented the time they required. Apparently Chris felt the same way.

Kids that are given affection on a normal basis and given individual attention usually don’t behave like these two kids did. Even in the video @ R465 as soon as coach bella shows up from a hard day at the softball field, she instantly wants to put her grubby little hands all over her mom’s recipe notebook.

Seeing the father and brother of Shanann at the sentencing, gotta say, the entire theory of genetic problems seems waaay more plausible. Both men were clearly of below average intelligence. Their facial features are/were bizarre.... Like some syndrome. Inverted teeth, weird mouths, Extremely thin hair.... I think if they had read their own statements, that would have become terrifyingly evident.

So am thinking the genetic risk might have been at work in CW's mind as well. Not only the possibility of another Rzucek male but the offspring of those kids yoking him ever more tightly with financial obligation. Starting over has a totally different significance when you consider that big picture.

What I think happened is Shanann catfished Chris. She came from po white trash and found Chris on the Internet, who by most accounts was above average in intelligence, but had a weight problem. So when Shanann showed interest, Chris thought she was the best he could do.

After they marry, Shanann starts showing her true self, a woman who is obsessed with mimicking all the mommie bloggers on the Internet and convinces Chris to overextend their finances by buying a house with an island in the kitchen, stainless steel appliances and a Lexus suv to drive, plus a huge diamond as her wedding ring for all her social media postings. Then came the kids—who were both just so incredibly fug and annoying, but that wasn’t bad enough. Shanann still obsessed with being seen by her Frau circle of mommies, as some role model and someone who is #goals envy of her peers, decides to make her fug, annoying kids sick. Well now Chris is going to have to start paying more $$ for another one of Shanann’s financially irresponsible ventures, kids with chronic illness. And then Shanann had the audacity to let herself get pregnant again.

Can you guys see how much strain and burden Chris was under because Shanann had delusions of grandeur of being a social media mommy queen?

either, I really just don't know, I am sorry, something with the esophagus. They have dog allergies, they had cat allergies, they had mold allergies,

they had cashew allergies, tree nut allergies, kiwi allergies, and they had -- at least one of them had an adjustment done by a chiropractor as well.

That is a lot.

LALAMA: Right.

BANFIELD: That is way more than the average child. And then here's Shanann on her Facebook live talking about the girls both having breathing

issues, take a look at this. “

Shanann also belonged to FB groups for EOE (Eosinophilic (ee-uh-sin-uh-fil-ik) esophagitis (EoE) is a recognized chronic allergic/immune condition. A person with EoE will have inflammation of the esophagus. The esophagus is the tube that sends food from the mouth to the stomach.)

And this: “Periodic fever syndromes (also known as autoinflammatory diseases or autoinflammatory syndromes) are a set of disorders characterized by recurrent episodes of systemic and organ-specific inflammation. Unlike autoimmune disorders such as systemic lupus erythematosus, in which the disease is caused by abnormalities of the adaptive immune system, patients with autoinflammatory diseases do not produce autoantibodies or antigen-specific T or B cells. Instead, the autoinflammatory diseases are characterized by errors in the innate immune system.[1]”

Nice mothering there, R538. WTF is THAT? You love your kid only if they are good people? There are 2 million people in the American prison system. Do they deserve to be isolated and shunned?

Your mother is the one person on this earth who should love you always no matter what. It is the person with whom you are oxytocin-bonded. It is estimated that as many as 2% of the population are psychopaths. This is not psychopathy as the media has taught us to think of it. It is a genetic developmental abnormality that causes the entire brain to function in a different aberrant way. If your kid was a schizophrenic would you stop loving him? If he was an addict, would you say "fuck him!"?

Jesus Christ the women who are insane about women and children as crime victims, leave me speechless.

CBS in Denver was just given 2000 pages of Watts case documents from the DA's office; they include the text messages from Chris to Shannan and Nichol(?). I know some of you will have time this Thanksgiving weekend to find the gems therein.

[quote]In a phone search conducted by authorities, investigators found searches on Kessinger’s phone for sexual videos and positions, hours’ worth of searches for “Shanann Watts,” searches including “can cops trace text messages” after the murders, searches for Amber Frey (the mistress of convicted murderer Scott Peterson), if “people hate Amber Frey,” and Frey’s subsequent book deal.

From the 2K page pdf, a text conversation between Shanann and her friend Taylor:

Taylor: “Nicki just told me you want to cancel the gender reveal. What’s going on? Is everything okay?”

Shanann: “Chris said we are not compatible anymore”

Taylor: “I just landed in Chicago like still on the airplane”

Taylor: “Oh my god what?”

Shanann: “He said we are not compatible anymore! He refused to hug me. Said he thought another baby would fix his feelings. Said, he refused couples counseling!”

Shanann: “Before I left he could get enough of each other”

Taylor: “What the hell changed in 6 weeks?”

Shanann: “He said he had a lot of time to think”

Taylor: “I am so sorry”

Taylor: “I don’t even know what to say”

Shanann: “Girl me either”

Those text messages between Shan’ann & her friend Taylor, are a bigger deal than most women realize.

When I was a teenager, I had this amazing boyfriend, who I was totally not ready for. He had an amazing mother, who I love dearly. A hardcore New Yorker, Buddhist chick.

Anyhow, I was still pining over a high school crush, when I started dating her son, which I was honest about.

One day, she looked at me and said, “Sweet girl, let me tell you a secret. If it didn’t work out the first time, chances are it won’t work out the second time, the third time, or the fourth. When someone turns away from you, let them go, with love “.

She was right on the money 💰!!! I cannot express enough how true this is.

by Anonymousreply 562November 22, 2018 1:49 PM

R561, nope. Not victim blaming. I’m advocating that when one sees another person’s sheer disinterest an ennui within a relationship, get out. That person is no longer in love with you. They will make an attempt to work it out with you because of children, or because of the expense of divorce and spousal/child support, but they will never be into you again, they will cheat, and they will resent you.

They will also leave you, or you will be so miserable, that you will leave them. In Chris Watts’ case, he murdered his wife and kids. This is why I do not see him as an annihilator. I believe the family would have lived if Shan’ann had left him. They would have still been at risk, due to child support payments, however.

Chris’ pursuit of his bosses’ daughter wasn’t a mistake or true love at first sight, either, by the way. There were monetary incentives for him in that relationship, with that woman in particular.

The divorce was premitaded. Not the murders.

Chris expect Shannon to concede to divorce ASAP and move back with the kids to her parents’. He wanted thidone IMMEDIATELY. He wanted to keep the house. He probably gave her a date leave and disenroll the girls from school and move with the girls.

She refused. He said, fine, I’m leaving and moving. With my new gf. An argument from hell ensued, aand that’s when Chris her strangeled her, and had to kill the girs because they saw it or hear it.

Afterward, the scene was absolute terror, and began to stick his kids into the oil tank and came back to dispose of her.

And all of this could have been easily avoided, had he had his bags packed and ready to go to a hotel. Or to his girlfriend’s house.

nichol Kissinger is clearly not from money. She got an associates degree at a community college, then a geology degree at Colorado state i believe. She worked for Halliburton in some lowly position, then got a job at Anadarko, as a field technician. She worked her way up from a clerical staff position.

Anadarko is a huge publicly traded corporation, known for, among other thongs, for the largest contamination oc groundwater in the intermountain west. Don't remember the details of that scandal, and could have the details of what they contaminated wrong, but it cost many billions of dollars in reparations and penalties. Even if a single person owned it (doubtful), i doubt very much Kessinget would be connected to that money.

by Anonymousreply 579November 22, 2018 10:46 PM

From the documents, Nichol googled Shanann Watts in September of 2017. She also googled Amber Frey's book deal and net worth after the deaths, I wonder if she knew all her searches would get leaked. She also googled wedding dresses and how to clean her ass for anal sex, threesomes with double penetration, and interracial porn videos.

by Anonymousreply 580November 22, 2018 11:08 PM

R579, I never got the impression that she was a rich girl or “came from money”. Her father was not the owner of the company, FFS! I think he had his own company that may have supervised some operations at Anadarko (hence “the boss’s daughter”), as a contractor.

Or, maybe she was a rung higher on the ladder than the oil workers, and that seemed like “rich girl” to them. When I was a kid in suburban CT, people who had three bathrooms and in-ground pools were “rich”. As an adult who is now adjacent to truly wealthy people, I see now, in comparison, those people were slightly higher than middle class. I figure Nichol’s family had three bathrooms and an in-ground pool.

by Anonymousreply 582November 23, 2018 12:42 AM

Nichol Kessinger must be hiding under a rock after these documents exposed her to a highly embarrassing degree.

In the Mistress Speaks article, she was lying her ass off, probably assuming the public would never see the evidence. In truth, she was desperate to snare him.

She did fuck Chris at his house on several occasions. First, they used the cot in the unfinished basement, then they graduated to the marital bed. She KNEW he was married! She spent hours googling things like "Will he marry the Mistress" and "wedding dresses". Not too mention, phone logs indicate she was talking to him days after the murders. She sent him texts stating things like he knows she'll do ANYTHING sexually, but she'll also do anything romantically.

She also must have been after him for sometime as she googled "Shan'ann Watts" in September 2017.

The " how to prepare for anal sex", " how to have anal sex", "threeways with double penetration", and "interracial group sex" before meeting up with him are kind of pathetic. Plus the hundreds of nude selfies she sent him that he tried to lock away in his SECRET CALCULATOR app. Married or not, she was intent on snagging this guy as much as she wants to pretend she is Amber Frey who she extensively googled as well ( before her interview).

But the best discovery of all is the transcript of her phone messages to Chris. The transcriber describes in each one that she prefaces each message with a " creepy, eerie, demented giggle".

by Anonymousreply 583November 23, 2018 12:44 AM

So Chis was a cuckoled idiot, who wanted to see his girlfriend fucked by black men, like Paul Manafort.

Y’all know he now that he had a tiny pecker, and was probably bi.

Also, why do so many white people assume all black men are hung? Black men come in all shapes and sizes, just like white men. JFC.

The pickings must have been slim as fuck for this woman to set her eyes on a total loser, like Chris. Wedding dresses!!! OMG!!!

by Anonymousreply 594November 23, 2018 3:50 AM

Chris Watts was most probably physically and emotionally abusing Shan’ann. I’ve seen this before, and I am pretty certain that was happening here.

The snappish behavior from Shan’ann had to do with here resentment at him. She acted this way while they were in the honeymoon phase of the domestic abuse.

I also believe that Shan’ann had become completely isolated in Colorado. She had a job, which she was probably fired from for either excessive tardiness and or absences , due to obvious bruising that she wasn’t able to hide. Another common occurrence in domestic violence.

She decided to get into MLMs, in order to have video accountability. Her visual presence and appearance was required for this MLM, model, and she used it for self preservation.

The reason her girlfriend immediately drove to her and Chris’ house, the morning of the murders, is because she knew about the domestic violence, and was sworn to secrecy by Shan’ann. Shan’ann had probably told her friend that even though Chris hadn’t beaten her in a while, (which is highly probable due to the SM presence this MLM required), she was still afraid of him, and should she (her friend) ever try to get a hold of her, without any response, something is really wrong and the police should be called.

Shan’ann and the girls were constantly sick, because they were internalizing constant levels of stress. The reoccurring illnoor symptoms of illnesses is also a very common trait in homes where DV occurs.

And finally, Shan’ann barely fought back because she had gone through strangulation without death beforehand, and knew that if she fought, it would become worse. He probably had already beaten her, and she was hoping it would stop.

Chris Watts was not an innocent victim of Shan’ann’s shrewish ways. She was abused regularly, either verbally, and/or physically. In fact, she was so abused, that she arroyo name her son Nico, masculine for Nichol, Chris’ mistress, who I am pretty sure she knew of or personally had met, through Chris introducing her for a threesome.

Please do not aske me why women in these situations don’t leave. I don’t know. I wish she had left.
