Dang it! CARIIS, I always look forward to reading your posts---- until know. However, we can't judge others for having differing opinions , attitudes, beliefs.
So: 1. We don't know that he told his father the truth. But, let's say he did.
"Dad, I killed Shannan, Celeste, Bella & Nico. "
"Son, that's death penalty talk. They are all dead and we can't bring them back, so it doesn't matter who killed them. You're the only one here to talk and tell the story. Do you really want your Mother and the whole world knowing you killed your wife and 3 kids?"
"You're right, Dad. I can't do this to Mom. I'll say Shannan did it"
"Whatever , Son. Just remember your Mama loves you".
We really don't know what CW & father discussed. Truth or Lies or whatever.
2. He did not tell LE quickly or come clean quickly. He lied and lied and lied and lied and covered up and lied until he was cornered and couldn't escape his lies.
3. He was not an honest cheater. He lied about That, too. He covered it up. LE told him they KNEW he was cheating on Shannan and who with. Then he fessed up.
4. So, he admits he killed Shannan and baby Nico. He's gonna claim half of this murderous nightmare, but no more. The man has dead bodies all around him. Does he do the right thing ? A. Kill himself
B. Call his Dad for advice
C. Call 911.
No! He takes these dead little bodies downstairs and puts them in his truck. With their dead Mommy. Does he stack them like firewood? He is not really that upset. A person who is in shock from the horror that just transpired will not be thinking straight. Load bodies, find keys, load trash bags. Trash bags? What's in the Trash bags? Children? Would a man who just saw his wife murder his children go to the pantry to get Hefty bags and put his dead children in bags, tie a knot and dump them in his work truck? Would a man in shock load a shovel and a gas can into his truck, drive into the middle of nowhere on his employers property, retrieve the lifeless bodies of 3 and 4 year old babies , carry them up the stairs of a crude oil tank and slip them inside? Would a man in shock dig a shallow grave for his beautiful wife, carrying his baby son, cover them with dirt, drive off, go to work. Stand on his front porch and lie to Shannan's friend, lie to and scare their neighbor friends while sleeping over a few nights, lie during on camera interviews, .....
No. That's what lying , guilty, angry, murderers do. They lie and deny. Wait! He'll claim 1 murder+ Nico. But, that's not his fault because that was HER fault. No doubt he thinks everything is her fault at this point.
Anyhow. Appreciate the opportunity to purge some of the Chris Watts nonsense out of my system
MOO ^^^ & all that jazz.
