Here is the Channel 9 news video with CW done outside his home, on the driveway
Watch it first with the sound off:
Full interview with Chris Watts 24 hours before he reportedly confessed to killing family
His body language is very very distracting: The body hugging with both, but especially the right arm.... the bobbing, the rocking side-to-side, the facial expressions,
For the most part he gestures only with his left hand while his right is tightly clasped across his body hugging his left chest.
Near the end, the reporter (cleverly and very astutely) asks him about his Carolina Tarheels jersey and his demeanor changes dramatically. He drops his shoulders, opens up both arms and lifts his shirt up a little. His face relaxes and he smiles. It's clearly a relief at at that moment that he doesnt have to answer another difficult question, but can talk about sports. Then the reporter asks another question about the disappearance and he instantly goes back into the defensive, body hugging stance.
It reminds me very much of a little boy who has been caught doing something bad, but refuses to cooperate with his mom and just keeps trying to deny it. I certainly don't get any sense of menace or open cruelty from it. He doesnt have the slick pompousness of Scott Peterson of the arrogance of Drew Peterson in this video.
Forensic psychologists will have a field day with this.
