Chris Watts: Confession Untold

On August 13, 2018, pregnant Shannan Watts and her two daughters, four-year-old Bella and three-year-old Celeste, vanished from their home in Colorado. As police began investigating their disappearance, Shannan’s husband, Chris Watts, spoke to TV stations outside his home and made an impassioned plea for his family’s safe return. Two days later, he was arrested for their murders.

In chilling detail, Chris Watts confessed to strangling his wife, Shannan, first as his daughters looked on. He then placed Celeste’s favourite blanket over her head and smothered her, as Bella cried out, begging him not to do the same to her. He then smothered Bella. He buried his wife in a shallow grave and placed the bodies of his children in oil tanks belonging to Anadarko Petroleum, the company he worked for.

Chris Watts was having an affair and wanted a new start in life. He pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and was sentenced to five life sentences on November 6, 2018. In Chris Watts: Confession Untold, lead investigators involved in the case speak out about the disturbing events for the first time.
