Chris Watts Confessed To Father He Killed Wife In A Rage, New Video Shows
In a bare white room at the Frederick Police Department, he told his father that he’d “freaked out” and killed his wife in a fury after a fight over plans to separate, according to newly released video from the Weld County District Attorney’s office.
“Oh my God,” his father said, dropping his head into his hands.
When his coworkers arrived at the site later that morning, they described his behavior as perfectly normal, prosecutors said. As law enforcement officials searched for the woman and girls, Watts was texting his new girlfriend about their future, prosecutors said.
Video shows moments Chris Watts confesses to killing pregnant wife
A video released Thursday shows the moment Christopher Watts,
the Colorado man serving multiple sentences for killing his pregnant wife and two daughters, admitted to killing his wife.
"They’re gone. There’s no bringing them back," Watts told police, after explaining to first his father and then investigators that he strangled his wife, Shanann, because he saw her kill their two daughters, Bella, 4, and Celeste, 3.
The video, which also included footage of Watts failing a polygraph test when asked if he caused his wife's disappearance, was part of a trove of information related to the August murders released by the Weld County District Attorney.
