Sounds like a nightmare where you are trying to scream and wake up, but can't! It's a reasonable question. If I were the killer intent on stealthy murder of sleeping victims using a knife, the first thing I'd probably do is slash throats for a quick bleed out and to inhibit sound. No single...

There's been a lot of conversation in recent pages about the NK/CW dynamics. Having been through an intense affair, perhaps I can add a little perspective. One thing that both parties experienced in my affair was deeply conflicted feelings. On the one hand, as good people, we wanted to do the...

Lol... I enjoyed seeing that video. I have a couple of babies myself (avatar pics), and I find myself frequently dancing and singing to them like the dork in that video. I dance and sing because I'm happy to be their father, and just happy in general to be so blessed. The CW in that video...

Agree. Sifting through CW's confession, one way to possibly discern truth from the lies is looking for what appears to not in any way be self-enhancing or rationalizing to minimize the monstrousness of his actions. For example, coldly killing his babies at the oil site is unfathomable and...

I tend to agree. His confession didn't offer much insight. He did a bit of rationalization about how he felt he couldn't be himself with SW, and so open and easily himself with NK, but then he added that doesn't excuse murder. All he could offer up was that the notion had previously entered...

I'd be curious what the interviewers thought of CW's truthfulness in the confession. As some have noted, some things are hard to believe, such as straddling SW while talking to her. But why would he say this if it wasn't true? I also got feelings that CW was slipping self-enhancing elements...

Agree. "Falling out of love" is probably a simple way to describe a complex set of feelings associated with a powerful new infatuation in NK. Chris probably didn't have the emotional maturity to understand and deal with these feelings in an adult way. But this wouldn't necessarily translate...

Very telling detail. Thanks for a great post! Dave

Something tells me these days he would agree with you.. ;) Dave

Any theories on why Watts would have been dragging the body (presumably SW's) toward the front of the truck rather than just hoisting her into the truck bed? Seems risky to move into potential camera view! Dave

This is an interesting tidbit. Do you remember where in the document you saw this? Dave

Respectfully disagree 100%. His plan was so bad, it didn't seem like a plan at all. At every turn he had a problem. As for putting the children's bodies in the oil tanks, sooner or later they would have been discovered. Then what? The bodies would have immediately been tied to Chris. Any...

I agree Chris was not especially bright and probably has a below average IQ. Beyond choosing an unthinkable option to deal with his family situation, his actions in the crime were incredibly stupid and short-sighted. Regarding whether he is a narcissist, I'm no psychologist, but I would assume...

I sometimes think about what he must think about during all the time he has in prison. Lying in bed... he wakes up at 2 a.m., unable to get back to sleep. What does he think about lying there in the middle of the night? How dramatically his life has changed and has become worthless? The...

Agree. I initially was of the 'second-degree-SW-murder-followed-by-the-daughters' camp, but have come to think that Chris would have wanted complete control of the situation, from start to awful finish. He fits the 'annihilator/sociopath' profile, and I think he proceeded with the task of...
