The mother of Shanann Watts is claiming that she knows how her daughter and two granddaughters were killed, and sent her lawyer on The Dr Phil Show to share the information.
Steven Lambert said on Tuesday that Shanann's husband Chris Watts killed his wife and their unborn child after admitting he was having an affair with another woman.
Next, he smothered daughter Celeste, 3, according to Lambert.
He killed Bella last, whom evidence has suggested fought back against her father, but when he killed her is unclear.
Lambert claims at one point that Bella may have been alive in the truck despite the fact that Watts' vehicle was captured by a neighbour's surveillance camera on the morning of the murders, suggesting Bella would have been visible.
That video however shows no signs of Bella.
..
'The night in question Shanann came home. She and Chris had got into a fight. They made up. They were getting along really well,' said Lambert.
'Later on, they got into a fight again. In that fight he essentially confessed to having an affair, that he wanted a divorce. That it was pretty much over between them, and she had said something to the effect of, "well you're not going to see the kids again."'
Lambert then added: 'As a consequence of that conversation he strangled her to death.'
After murdering his wife and unborn son Nico, Watts turned his attention to 3-year-old Celeste.
..
'He walks over and takes Cece's favourite blanket and smothers her. At that point, Bella says: "Please, daddy, do not do to me what you just did to Cece,"' said Lambert.
'And then he killed Bella.'
Lambert then seemed to shift the timeline however by suggesting Celeste was not murdered until she and her sister arrived at the site where authorities eventually found their bodies.
'Personally, I think the worst for those girls - it's a 45-minute drive, if he did load them onto the floorboards, like we have been led to believe,' said Lambert.
'Obviously the question becomes how much were Bella and Cece aware of what might have been happening in those 45 minutes on that drive to where their bodies were placed?'
DailyMail.com attempted to see if the CBI or FBI miht be able to confirm any of these claims, but neither agencyn responded to request for comment.
