“Book 4 in the K9 series is a must read for those who enjoy well researched and detailed crime narratives. The author does a remarkable job of bringing to life the cold dark horror that is Chris Watts throughout the narrative but especially on the morning in the aftermath of the murders. Chris’s actions are connected by Nick van der Leek’s eloquent use of a timeline to reveal a motive.”

Wow, it’s so so sad. It’s twisted for any first time parent, not mind a parent that has 2 beautiful children already. Knowing you were blessed to have another, and a brother for the girls are what some couples would do anything for. I know love can die between a couple, but no longer loving your children is unfathomable.
I would really love to be a fly on the wall to see how he initiated this conversation. You can tell in earlier videos Shan’Ann is already in baby fever mode. So if things are not going well between them, how would the idea of a third pregnancy come about? As a distraction? A concession? Chris said he thought a new baby would help things. Every man I know usually ‘relents’ to his gf or wife wanting a new baby, or puppy, just in my experience. Chris has this idea of having a boy as a fantasy so he can recreate the father-son relationship he had with his dad, and then realizes after the fact that this boy would anchor him to a life he no longer wanted.
I’m not able to see these images. Could you fix them? Loving the blog btw!
Was all of the stuff posted on FB really from him? Or…from her? He didn’t seem so excited in the video showing his reaction to the announcement of the pregnancy. Which…I would find really inappropriate to be filmed when I came home from work.
exactly…this proves absolutely…NOTHING. even if it were his idea, so what? besides the guy lies all the time, especially to say what others want to hear. what difference does it make anyway. terrible marriage, doomed from the start. the only TRUE victims are the children. not saying she deserved, but it was a toxic situation created by their parents that was. well..unsustainable.
In the Wisconsin interview, he says that the 3rd child was nearly all SW’s idea. She asked him one day what he thought of a 3rd child and he responded that he wouldn’t mind a boy. A month later, she was pregnant and he was shocked at how quickly it happened. He said that as the pregnancy progressed, she kept increasing Chris’ amount of the decision, eventually telling people it was nearly all his idea. He didn’t like that. I believe the texts here are just her modified version of actual events for purposes of making herself look good (“oh you’re such a great person, having another baby as a favor for your husband)” and not the truth.
