$75k in blood money for the parents imo. Meanwhile they throw brickbats at the family of SR for raising $$ for lawsuits. I wish the Watts would quit the targeted attacks on the victims. The sis started the whole campaign against SR right after her murder, although dearest mommie has become the icon of hate towards the R's.There appears to be a lot of misinformation about the life insurance that CW took out through his employer Anadarko. Below is a post I wrote a couple of years ago that I hope will make things clearer. I would also like to suggest that anyone who wants factual information come here with questions rather than listening to vultures out to make money and people who appear to have drug-induced psychosis.
My understanding is that the slayer statute in Colorado does prohibit a killer from profiting from his crimes. Even though CW waived his rights to the insurance money, his parents claimed that:
As CW has no living descendants and no spouse, any disclaimed share of an intestate estate would go to his surviving parents, Ronnie and Cindy Watts, under Colo. Rev. Stat. § 15-11-103.

The Rzuceks do have that $6 million judgment against CW, so ironically, they would have automatically received all of the $450K from him if there hadn't been a slayer statute, which generally treats the killer as if he predeceased the victim.
Apparently the families settled out of court and can't discuss the outcome.
The funniest part of this very unfunny tragedy is that CW has never retracted his confession. So the conspiracy beehive is buzzing around trying to cover up this fact. The most they can come up with is that poor guy can't remember a thing, so he must be innocent.
