"Nichol [Chris Watts' mistress] said he was playing like he did not know Shanann was pregnant, even though she was 15 weeks pregnant,” according to recently released documents in the case.
“She stated that Christopher is acting, ‘Weird,’ and out of the ordinary," police said regarding the suspicions Sandra Rzucek had about her son-in-law.
"lf you are done, don’t love me, don’t want to work this out, not happy anymore and only staying because of kids, I NEED you to tell me," Shanann Watts pleaded with her husband.
“None of this answers why: If he wanted a new start -- why not get a divorce? Why annihilate your whole family?” asks prosecutors as Chris Watts is sentenced to life in prison.
Watts tried to pass himself off as a distraught father and husband pleading for his missing family to come home, all the while knowing he'd killed them all.
Chris Watts, who admitted he murdered his pregnant wife, Shanann, and young daughters Bella and Celeste, told a number of shocking lies during the investigation.
When his family vanished, he pleaded on television for their safe return. Then, after their bodies were found, he claimed his wife Shannan killed their daughters. Now, he's admitted to killing them all.
