Shanann Watts family files wrongful death suit against Chris Watts
The court filing reportedly notes Watts’s deceptions to investigators and his false claims to the media that he had no idea what happened to his wife and children.
“Defendant also gave multiple interviews to television and media outlets where he falsely claimed that he missed his family and was hoping they would all come home, so as to end his supposed ‘nightmare’ of life without his children,” the lawsuit states, according to the
Coloradoan.
The report notes that according to Colorado law, wrongful death cases can be heard by a judge or a jury. A preliminary
hearing is set for January 28.
