  2. be going over the Kristopher Watson the Watts family murder
  3. case. So this main picture is my evidence wall as

  5. the victims where their bodies were found and who found
  6. them, the evidence that was received during this case and
  7. the suspect, his background and his motive in the middle,
  8. I have my ability.
  9. Ah, graffiti in a picture of the Watts family.
  10. So first from a bibliography I use four articles went
  11. from the Colorado biography dot com, the U.
  12. S. Son and The New York Times.
  13. I also use the Netflix film called American Murder of
  14. the Family Next Door.
  15. So to get into the background the life of for
  16. Marriage. So Shannon had already been divorced once and was
  17. diagnosed with Lupus, which is an auto immune disease.
  18. And Shannon and Chris for actually met in 2010.
  19. They're being Facebook friends, but they never pictured anything more
  20. than being online acquaintances.
  21. But they eventually did meet, and Shannon was in a
  22. really dark period of her life while going through really
  23. good treatments, and she gave Christopher every out, but he
  24. decided to stick with her throughout everything but Christmas.
  25. Parents and sister did not like Shannon, but despite that,
  26. they eventually got married on November 3rd, 2012 in the
  27. beginning. So after the marriage in North Carolina, they actually
  28. moved to Frederick, Colorado.
  29. And since Shannon was sold, she couldn't bear Children due
  30. to her Lupus diagnosis.
  31. She did actually have two Children, Bella and Celeste Watts,
  32. General works for direct sales company called Thrive, while Christopher
  33. worked as an operator for oil and gas and Darko.
  34. So the final week, sitting up to the murders, Shannon
  35. and Chris for actually having relationship issues Shannon Fellows just
  36. a one way relationship emotionally, emotionally and physically, and just
  37. that Christopher didn't care for her anymore.
  38. A week prior to the murders, Shannon and her two
  39. daughters actually left for North Carolina for continuous six weeks,
  40. split their families walkers for stayed home in Colorado to
  41. quote work.
  42. But he's actually going out on dates and having an
  43. affair with 30 year old Nicole Kissinger.
  44. Pictured on the right, Um, Shannon would actually constantly calling
  45. texting. But since he was on these days with Nicole.
  46. He would ignore them, and then he would make up
  47. the excuse that he was either working, sleeping or working
  48. out. And she just said that she couldn't come home
  49. if they were still having issues.
  50. But he denied that they were ever having issues in
  51. the first place.
  52. Shannon, Even when he when she confronted him about having
  53. a mistress, he still denied it.
  54. Okay, um, so more information.
  55. After coming home from North Carolina, Shannon left for work
  56. retreat in Arizona.
  57. So Nikola, considered Shannon's friend and co worker, dropped her
  58. off at 2 a.m. On August 13th and ultimately was
  59. the last person to see her.
  60. When she called Shannon, there was no response.
  61. So she went to her house, didn't show for a
  62. doctor's appointment.
  63. She called the police to tell that she was concerned
  64. for her friend, which ultimately led to the opening of
  65. this investigation.
  66. So who, What wear?
  67. On the morning of August 13th, 2018, Christopher actually strangled
  68. and suffocated Shannon until she died in their home, Richard
  69. Colorado. He then proceeded alot gin body in his car,
  70. with bullets less sitting above her at 5 a.m. He
  71. then drove 45 minutes to get from their home to
  72. the Location Survey Ranch, where he then did strangle and
  73. killed both of his daughters.
  74. You then hit their bodies and proceeded to Goto work
  75. afterwards, and it is claimed that he did call on
  76. the cold the woman he was having an affair with
  77. to speak of their lives together.
  78. So the victims.
  79. So the three victims we have is first being Shannon
  80. Watts, the wife.
  81. She was 34 years old.
  82. She was born in 1984.
  83. She works for a company called Thrived, and she was
  84. actually 15 weeks pregnant with their son, Nico.
  85. At the time, she was known as beautiful fighting soul
  86. who was determined that anything she put her mind to
  87. and she had hundreds of Facebook friends and was really
  88. well liked.
  89. So she was ultimately killed to do association by manual
  90. strangulation. In the bed she shared with crisper, she dried,
  91. trying to save a relationship, which she gave 110% of
  92. herself in.
  93. Although she was constantly letting Christopher know that she loved
  94. him and that she'd always fight for him.
  95. Christopher just decided that it wasn't enough for him anymore.
  96. So but the Watts, the oldest daughter, she was four
  97. years old.
  98. She was going to 1013.
  99. And she was kind of gun as a miracle, baby,
  100. since she was told that Shannon was told that she
  101. was able to have kids.
  102. But she ultimately looked up to her father and considered
  103. him her hero.
  104. Despite everything, Um, she also died you to asphyxiation by
  105. her blankie at Servi Ranch.
  106. She was also the blast die between your sister and
  107. her mother.
  108. So finally we have Celeste walks.
  109. The youngest daughter.
  110. She was three years old.
  111. She was always seen laughing and smiling, and she actually
  112. dreamed of becoming.
  113. Also, when she was older, she died the exact same
  114. way as Bella.
  115. She died due to association by the blankie she carried
  116. around and was the first guy when they arrived to
  117. severe. So next we have whether your body is found.
  118. Their bodies were found that Christopher's worth location 45 minutes
  119. away from their homeless, every ranch pictured off the top
  120. rights. Their bodies were found on August 16th, 2018 by
  121. investigators after Christopher's confession.
  122. The photo on the left is where Shannon's body was
  123. found buried in fetal position while the picture on the
  124. rise were Bella and Celeste, Bodies were found and they
  125. were found inside the crude oil tanks at the location.
  126. Next we have the evidence.
  127. So this is some physical.
  128. Indirect evidence is that Christopher's neighbor's surveillance cameras actually showed
  129. Chris for loading.
  130. Something would happen to be Shannon's body into his work
  131. truck at 5 17 on August 13, 2018.
  132. Another piece of physical evidence is that Christopher failed his
  133. polygraph test, which ultimately led to his confession.
  134. Direct evidence from him actually killing Shannon and his two
  135. girls. He didn't it.
  136. So some biological evidence is that the sheet that Shannon
  137. was wrapped in was actually found at the location, and
  138. I had trace evidence of Shannon's hair on it.
  139. Picture to the right.
  140. So next we have the suspect and who Motive?
  141. Who did it So Christopher Watts actually did confess three
  142. days after the murder, so there was no other potential
  143. suspects, and after failing the polygraph tests, the police were
  144. completely certain that he was the one that did kill
  145. his family.
  146. But prior to the polygraph, because for denied everything he
  147. was accused of until he actually admitted what he did
  148. to his father.
  149. Some background on him.
  150. He was 35 at the time.
  151. He was an operator.
  152. Added Darko.
  153. He's always seen this quiet, very chill and calm, family
  154. oriented. And the chin in thought that he was her
  155. light after she after he stuck with her through a
  156. really dark time and as mentioned before he denied all
  157. accusations, including his affair and relationship problems.
  158. So his motive.
  159. The motive was a woman, and he got a new
  160. life in.
  161. The only way to get that new life was to
  162. get rid of his old one.
  163. So picture on the right was Nicole Kissinger, his mistress,
  164. the woman he had an affair with.
  165. She was 30 years old, four years younger than Shin,
  166. and she's very fit.
  167. They actually met at work in 2000 and 18.
  168. A month prior to the murders in June, the relationship
  169. became very intimate.
  170. In official, they wanted many dates, including where he was
  171. quote at work, as he told Shannon and Chris for
  172. Actually did tell Nicole he was divorced.
  173. So yeah, and ultimately just some more background information on
  174. this was that Christopher was tried and sentenced to three
  175. consecutive life terms.
  176. Had Dodge Correctional Institution in a maximum security prison in
  177. Wisconsin. He is not currently serving his sentences without ever
  178. having the possibility of parole.
  179. And despite his claim that he did confront Shannon about
  180. wanting a divorce, she hurt balance list, strangled until they
  181. turn blue.
  182. And then he killed her to retaliate.
  183. He does now admit to killing all three of them.
  184. And Shannon did not kill his girls.
  185. So, yeah, that's my time.
  186. My murder case.
  187. Thank you.
