00:00:12,966 --> 00:00:14,266
[Shanann Watts] Bella, come here.
4
00:00:15,500 --> 00:00:19,466
Hey, guys. My name is Shanann Watts.
5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,566
I live in Frederick, Colorado.
6
00:00:21,633 --> 00:00:24,066
Say, "Hi, CeCe." Say, "Hi, Bells."
7
00:00:24,500 --> 00:00:25,533
Hi, Bells.
8
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,000
No, you've gotta say, "Hi."
9
00:00:27,066 --> 00:00:28,100
Hi.
10
00:00:28,533 --> 00:00:29,500
And, um...
11
00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:33,033
We can't forget Dieter.
Here comes Dieter.
12
00:00:33,466 --> 00:00:35,833
[girls squealing]
13
00:00:36,066 --> 00:00:38,100
[Shanann] Daddy won't do it
if you keep falling off.
14
00:00:38,166 --> 00:00:39,000
Baba!
15
00:00:39,066 --> 00:00:42,733
[Shanann] When Chris and I got married,
we moved out here after visiting,
16
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:43,900
fell in love with the area.
17
00:00:43,966 --> 00:00:45,800
It's gorgeous in Colorado.
18
00:00:47,100 --> 00:00:49,133
We created a life for ourselves out here.
19
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,833
Chris found an amazing job
that takes care of him.
20
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,766
They respect him, which is huge
21
00:00:54,833 --> 00:00:57,900
for any job that you have,
and we love it here.
22
00:00:57,966 --> 00:00:59,466
-[laughing]
-[groans]
23
00:00:59,533 --> 00:01:02,100
[Shanann] I'm making some
Italian cookies today.
24
00:01:02,166 --> 00:01:05,666
Gotta be careful 'cause CeCe's allergic
to everything that we love,
25
00:01:05,733 --> 00:01:09,366
like pistachio cookies and walnut cookies.
26
00:01:09,433 --> 00:01:12,766
But this guy right here,
he's gonna do all the dishes.
27
00:01:14,900 --> 00:01:15,933
That's me.
28
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,933
I'd rather bake and he can clean.
29
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,666
-I'll do--
-I can eat it later.
30
00:01:19,733 --> 00:01:20,566
See?
31
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,866
[all laughing]
32
00:01:24,166 --> 00:01:25,200
Nice.
33
00:01:25,266 --> 00:01:27,000
We'll come back with CeCe and Bella later.
34
00:01:27,066 --> 00:01:28,966
And we'll do
the "Here we go, Steelers!" chants.
35
00:01:29,033 --> 00:01:30,300
'Cause they love it.
36
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,466
Say, "Go, Steelers!"
37
00:01:32,966 --> 00:01:35,900
All right, guys.
I'll talk to you guys soon. Bye.
38
00:01:39,533 --> 00:01:42,566
[melancholy music playing]
39
00:01:59,833 --> 00:02:02,033
[phone buzzing]
40
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:18,733
[phone chiming]
41
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,600
[Nickole Atkinson] My name's Nickole,
and I'm calling
42
00:02:46,666 --> 00:02:48,600
because I'm concerned
about a friend of mine.
43
00:02:48,666 --> 00:02:51,733
I dropped her off at her house
at two in the morning last night.
44
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,400
I haven't been able
to get a hold of her this morning.
45
00:02:54,466 --> 00:02:56,666
I've gone to her house
and her car's there.
46
00:02:56,733 --> 00:02:59,300
But she won't answer the door.
She won't answer phone calls.
47
00:02:59,366 --> 00:03:01,166
She won't answer text messages.
48
00:03:01,700 --> 00:03:04,366
They have two little girls,
three and four.
49
00:03:04,433 --> 00:03:06,933
I mean, there's no movement
in the house whatsoever.
50
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,133
-[officer on phone] What's her name?
-Shanann Watts.
51
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,166
[officer] Alrighty, we'll have an officer
come out that way as soon as we can.
52
00:03:13,966 --> 00:03:15,500
I would just advise you
53
00:03:15,566 --> 00:03:18,666
to not try to make entry
into the house or anything like that.
54
00:03:21,933 --> 00:03:23,266
-[officer] How you guys doing?
-Hi.
55
00:03:23,333 --> 00:03:24,566
-[officer] Are you Nickole?
-Yes.
56
00:03:24,633 --> 00:03:25,500
Okay, what's going on?
57
00:03:25,566 --> 00:03:29,566
So, my friend, um, we were out of town
for a business trip this weekend.
58
00:03:29,633 --> 00:03:31,133
-[officer] All right.
-I dropped her off
59
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,966
at two o'clock this morning.
She was very distraught over the weekend,
60
00:03:34,033 --> 00:03:37,066
wasn't eating normally, or drinking,
and we kept trying to force it on her.
61
00:03:40,333 --> 00:03:41,566
[officer] Shanann, are you home?
62
00:03:42,166 --> 00:03:44,166
[dog barking]
63
00:03:46,666 --> 00:03:49,133
[Nickole] She had a doctor's
appointment this morning at 9:00,
64
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,066
and she didn't go
to the doctor's appointment.
65
00:03:51,133 --> 00:03:53,900
[officer] Okay, no answer on the phone,
husband's on his way.
66
00:03:53,966 --> 00:03:54,800
[Nickole] Yes.
67
00:03:54,866 --> 00:03:57,200
[man] You can't get in the house
unless you see signs of...
68
00:03:57,266 --> 00:04:01,033
[officer] Yep, I've gotta have more unless
I get consent from him to go in.
69
00:04:01,366 --> 00:04:02,466
Um...
70
00:04:03,333 --> 00:04:05,333
[knocking]
71
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,566
It could be grandparents
came and picked them up.
72
00:04:08,633 --> 00:04:12,266
You know, it could be a lot of things.
She left her phone, her phone's dead.
73
00:04:12,666 --> 00:04:15,266
How you doing?
You seen your neighbors today?
74
00:04:15,333 --> 00:04:17,066
-[neighbor] Uh-uh.
-[officer] No? Okay.
75
00:04:17,133 --> 00:04:18,500
[neighbor] Why? What's going on?
76
00:04:18,566 --> 00:04:20,433
[officer] We're just trying
to get a hold of her.
77
00:04:20,500 --> 00:04:22,600
Felt like she wasn't feeling too good.
78
00:04:22,666 --> 00:04:24,100
They're just concerned.
79
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:30,833
Is there a key code, Sandi,
80
00:04:30,900 --> 00:04:33,000
to open the garage from the outside?
81
00:04:34,133 --> 00:04:34,966
What is it?
82
00:04:36,566 --> 00:04:37,700
This is her parents.
83
00:04:39,466 --> 00:04:42,133
[Sandi Rzucek] Frank, what's the key code
for the garage?
84
00:04:42,833 --> 00:04:45,300
Shanann's house. The cops are there.
85
00:04:45,366 --> 00:04:48,900
[officer] Well, I can't go in,
but if they... allow you to go in,
86
00:04:48,966 --> 00:04:51,900
I have to have the property
owner's permission to enter.
87
00:04:51,966 --> 00:04:53,400
[Sandi] What's going on?
88
00:04:54,466 --> 00:04:57,066
Okay... well, he's the property owner.
89
00:04:57,133 --> 00:05:00,400
[Sandi] He told me Shanann
was at a girlfriend's house.
90
00:05:00,466 --> 00:05:02,466
-[officer] Do we know who that is?
-Do we know who...
91
00:05:02,533 --> 00:05:03,833
[officer] Or a phone number?
92
00:05:03,900 --> 00:05:04,933
[Sandi] He didn't say.
93
00:05:09,266 --> 00:05:11,166
[officer] Shanann, are you home?
94
00:05:11,866 --> 00:05:14,800
Police department,
if anyone's inside make yourself known!
95
00:05:22,033 --> 00:05:23,966
-[Sandi] Nicky.
-[Nickole] I'm here, keep talking.
96
00:05:24,033 --> 00:05:26,966
-[Sandi] Yeah, keep me on the phone.
-Okay, getting out the way.
97
00:05:31,066 --> 00:05:32,933
-[officer] Scott, how you doing?
-How's it going?
98
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,800
[officer] So, this is the only vehicle
she would have?
99
00:05:35,866 --> 00:05:38,366
-[Scott] Only one that... yeah.
-[officer] She would drive? Okay.
100
00:05:39,900 --> 00:05:41,433
[Nickole] Can we go in the house?
101
00:05:42,266 --> 00:05:43,266
Well, he can.
102
00:05:44,166 --> 00:05:46,700
[Scott] I mean, that's up to him.
It's his house because...
103
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,866
[Sandi] Nicky, I'm giving you permission
to walk into my daughter's house.
104
00:05:50,933 --> 00:05:52,533
[Scott] Mind if I come in, Chris?
105
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:53,900
-[Chris] Okay.
-[Scott] All right.
106
00:05:53,966 --> 00:05:54,966
[mutters]
107
00:05:55,433 --> 00:05:56,533
Yeah.
108
00:05:57,900 --> 00:06:00,133
[Scott] I'm checking the house,
with consent.
109
00:06:00,666 --> 00:06:02,566
And you checked upstairs?
She's not there?
110
00:06:02,633 --> 00:06:05,800
I just want to make sure she's not
passed out somewhere. Is she diabetic?
111
00:06:05,866 --> 00:06:07,733
[Chris] No, if she has low
blood sugar, her...
112
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:08,800
[Nickole] I'll ask her.
113
00:06:15,366 --> 00:06:17,433
[Scott] Her parents are out of state?
114
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,100
They're across country, North Carolina.
115
00:06:20,166 --> 00:06:21,233
[Scott] Oh.
116
00:06:21,533 --> 00:06:23,100
[Chris] Yeah, so that's not happening.
117
00:06:28,333 --> 00:06:30,166
All the girls' blankies are gone.
118
00:06:32,366 --> 00:06:33,500
[Scott] Um...
119
00:06:33,566 --> 00:06:36,233
[Chris] Their blankies they sleep with.
They don't leave without them.
120
00:06:36,300 --> 00:06:37,133
[Scott] Okay...
121
00:06:38,233 --> 00:06:42,000
Nothing else appears to be missing?
Just stuff you'd take for a quick trip?
122
00:06:46,166 --> 00:06:48,466
-[Chris] Her phone.
-[Nickole] Her phone's here?
123
00:06:48,533 --> 00:06:49,933
Her phone's here.
124
00:06:53,566 --> 00:06:54,633
[Scott] Does she work?
125
00:06:54,700 --> 00:06:56,500
-Yeah, she works from home.
-[Scott] From home?
126
00:06:56,566 --> 00:06:58,166
She works and this is her lifeline.
127
00:06:58,266 --> 00:06:59,233
[phone clatters]
128
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,400
When that thing turns back on,
it's going to start blowing up.
129
00:07:05,466 --> 00:07:07,966
-Oh, yeah, trust me.
-[Nickole] That's what Chris said.
130
00:07:08,966 --> 00:07:10,766
-[Scott] And it was shut down?
-Yeah.
131
00:07:13,433 --> 00:07:16,333
[Chris] So, that's 1... 31... 8... 19.
132
00:07:18,766 --> 00:07:20,266
[phone chiming]
133
00:07:21,233 --> 00:07:22,400
What's the first thing?
134
00:07:23,233 --> 00:07:24,133
'Bout to blow up.
135
00:07:33,100 --> 00:07:34,666
[Scott] What does she do for work?
136
00:07:34,733 --> 00:07:37,466
She works at a direct sales
company called Thrive.
137
00:07:39,766 --> 00:07:42,366
-[Scott] This is her purse?
-That's her purse. Is her medication in?
138
00:07:42,433 --> 00:07:43,933
She takes these, uh...
139
00:07:45,333 --> 00:07:47,000
Her medication's still in here.
140
00:07:47,066 --> 00:07:48,600
[Sandi] What about the mobile home?
141
00:07:50,300 --> 00:07:51,533
[Shanann] Hey, everybody.
142
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,200
So, I'm gonna wait till
a couple more people hop on here...
143
00:07:56,100 --> 00:08:00,200
and I just want you guys
to know a little bit of my story.
144
00:08:01,033 --> 00:08:05,066
I was in a place for a long time
where I felt very insecure.
145
00:08:05,133 --> 00:08:06,233
I was married,
146
00:08:06,300 --> 00:08:08,866
went through a really awful divorce,
147
00:08:08,933 --> 00:08:12,833
and that relationship
really took a lot from me.
148
00:08:12,900 --> 00:08:15,733
It took my confidence. It took everything.
149
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,300
It literally took everything.
150
00:08:18,966 --> 00:08:20,433
But I'm not a quitter.
151
00:08:21,566 --> 00:08:23,266
And my goal was to buy a house.
152
00:08:23,333 --> 00:08:26,800
My family doesn't come from money.
We always worked hard for what we had.
153
00:08:27,266 --> 00:08:32,000
And so I worked and worked
and worked and worked.
154
00:08:32,066 --> 00:08:35,033
And I was 25 years old
when I built my first house.
155
00:08:35,100 --> 00:08:39,300
And that was the biggest accomplishment
I felt I've ever done,
156
00:08:39,366 --> 00:08:41,033
because I did it by myself.
157
00:08:41,100 --> 00:08:43,633
I did it by working my tail off.
158
00:08:43,700 --> 00:08:44,666
[laughs]
159
00:08:47,033 --> 00:08:51,633
Then, ten years ago, I went from being
super energetic, super happy...
160
00:08:51,700 --> 00:08:53,966
I started losing a lot of my hair.
161
00:08:54,566 --> 00:08:57,266
I felt like I had the flu all the time.
162
00:08:57,633 --> 00:08:59,233
I felt miserable.
163
00:08:59,300 --> 00:09:04,766
And then I was diagnosed with Lupus,
which is an autoimmune disease.
164
00:09:04,833 --> 00:09:08,566
I went through
one of the darkest times of my life,
165
00:09:08,633 --> 00:09:09,900
and then I met Chris.
166
00:09:09,966 --> 00:09:12,800
And I couldn't have
asked God for a better man.
167
00:09:13,533 --> 00:09:16,333
[Scott] She doesn't ever black out
or have seizures or anything?
168
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,333
No, I mean, she...
A long, long, long, long time ago.
169
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,900
She got in a car wreck,
and they believe that's what happened.
170
00:09:22,966 --> 00:09:26,133
But Imitrex is something
she takes for migraines.
171
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,200
She took more Imitrex this
last month than she ever had before,
172
00:09:29,266 --> 00:09:31,700
but that's because she was
in North Carolina with the humidity
173
00:09:31,766 --> 00:09:34,933
and everything like that. She was there
for six weeks, and we got back...
174
00:09:36,166 --> 00:09:40,633
Monday or Tuesday, and then
she flew out to Arizona Friday morning.
175
00:09:41,166 --> 00:09:44,566
And then she got back last night...
about 2:00 a.m.
176
00:09:44,633 --> 00:09:47,433
Flight got delayed. She left about 11:00.
She got here at 2:00.
177
00:09:47,500 --> 00:09:48,333
[Scott] Okay.
178
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,266
I went to work this
morning around 5:15, 5:30.
179
00:09:53,733 --> 00:09:54,666
[Scott] What do you do?
180
00:09:54,733 --> 00:09:56,466
I work at oil and gas, Anadarko.
181
00:09:56,533 --> 00:09:57,766
[Scott] What do you do for them?
182
00:09:57,833 --> 00:09:58,800
-Operator.
-[Scott] Oh.
183
00:10:10,366 --> 00:10:11,700
[Nickole] Her wedding ring's here?
184
00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:16,366
[Chris] It was on the nightstand
next to her side of the bed.
185
00:10:17,733 --> 00:10:20,466
[Scott] There was no note
or anything by the wedding ring?
186
00:10:20,533 --> 00:10:21,366
[Chris] No.
187
00:10:24,033 --> 00:10:26,033
[indistinct chatter]
188
00:10:28,733 --> 00:10:31,166
[Shanann] I wasn't looking
for a boyfriend,
189
00:10:31,233 --> 00:10:33,500
and all of a sudden,
I get a friend request.
190
00:10:34,033 --> 00:10:36,300
I said, "What the heck,
I'll never meet him.
191
00:10:36,366 --> 00:10:38,533
He's just a Facebook friend.
I have a million of them."
192
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,766
But thing about Facebook is you
eventually probably meet the person.
193
00:10:42,833 --> 00:10:47,433
When I met Chris, I pushed him away.
I gave him an out every single day.
194
00:10:47,500 --> 00:10:49,566
He went to my colonoscopy.
195
00:10:49,633 --> 00:10:53,433
I tortured him. I rejected him.
196
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,200
But he stuck around.
197
00:10:55,966 --> 00:10:58,866
And he stuck around
because he was the one for me.
198
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,033
[Frank Rzucek] I couldn't ask
for a better man for her.
199
00:11:06,166 --> 00:11:08,666
He makes her smile,
and she makes him smile.
200
00:11:09,133 --> 00:11:10,533
God bless you both.
201
00:11:11,900 --> 00:11:15,066
I just want to say I love you both.
You look great together.
202
00:11:15,133 --> 00:11:17,833
She's been looking
her whole life for a good guy.
203
00:11:18,366 --> 00:11:20,000
I couldn't ask for a better one.
204
00:11:20,900 --> 00:11:22,233
I love you guys.
205
00:11:22,300 --> 00:11:24,366
[applause]
206
00:11:24,433 --> 00:11:26,433
[all cheering]
207
00:11:29,300 --> 00:11:33,333
[Shanann] And now we have two kids.
We live in Colorado.
208
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,166
And he's the best thing
that has ever happened to me.
209
00:11:37,566 --> 00:11:39,166
Don't eat Turtle!
210
00:11:39,233 --> 00:11:41,733
Ah, he got Turtle! He's got Turtle!
211
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:42,866
[Bella growling]
212
00:11:43,733 --> 00:11:45,200
[Scott] Definitely an odd one.
213
00:11:45,733 --> 00:11:47,633
[Chris] I don't know what I should do.
214
00:11:47,700 --> 00:11:50,866
Should I drive around, like,
the normal route that she would be?
215
00:11:52,066 --> 00:11:55,000
-[Scott] Where does she normally go to?
-I mean, just like...
216
00:11:56,500 --> 00:11:59,866
Drive where, like, she would
normally take the kids to school. Um...
217
00:12:00,466 --> 00:12:04,233
People that I know that live down...
Kristen lives down that way.
218
00:12:04,300 --> 00:12:07,833
That's the only people...
only routes I know she'd take.
219
00:12:07,900 --> 00:12:09,900
[Scott] Does she go
to their house frequently, or...
220
00:12:09,966 --> 00:12:11,366
Not much, but...
221
00:12:11,433 --> 00:12:13,033
[phone ringing]
222
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,166
[man] Neighbor over there said he has
a camera that sees out into the street.
223
00:12:18,766 --> 00:12:20,000
[door closes]
224
00:12:24,166 --> 00:12:26,033
[Scott] Now, is this on continually?
225
00:12:26,100 --> 00:12:27,166
-[man] Yep.
-Recording?
226
00:12:27,233 --> 00:12:31,000
-Yep, any motion that it--
-[Scott] Okay, so it's motion.
227
00:12:31,100 --> 00:12:33,200
[neighbor] Any motion event
that happens, I got.
228
00:12:33,266 --> 00:12:36,833
But I get cars driving
from this street, from this street.
229
00:12:38,900 --> 00:12:41,233
This is him at 5:17.
230
00:12:42,500 --> 00:12:46,533
[Chris] I usually park out there on
the side so I can get everything back in.
231
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,866
Be easier instead of lugging everything
out there, tools I had to bring in.
232
00:12:56,366 --> 00:13:00,033
[neighbor] Because if there is any sort
of action out there, I would have got it.
233
00:13:00,100 --> 00:13:03,000
-[Scott] Right.
-Like, we had issues the other week
234
00:13:03,066 --> 00:13:06,966
when people were stealing stuff
out of garages and stuff like that.
235
00:13:07,033 --> 00:13:10,533
-And I had to park my truck--
-I have you parked right here.
236
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,433
I had seen someone tried
to jimmy with a flathead screwdriver.
237
00:13:15,133 --> 00:13:17,700
-Over there.
-[neighbor] Yeah, I've got nothing.
238
00:13:18,900 --> 00:13:20,700
[Scott] Nothing for the rest of the day?
239
00:13:20,766 --> 00:13:21,966
No, that's it.
240
00:13:25,933 --> 00:13:27,333
She's pregnant as well, sir.
241
00:13:27,933 --> 00:13:30,000
-[Scott] How far along?
-Fourteen, 15 weeks.
242
00:13:48,766 --> 00:13:50,166
We did it again.
243
00:13:50,233 --> 00:13:52,233
[laughing]
244
00:13:52,700 --> 00:13:54,066
I like that shirt.
245
00:13:54,766 --> 00:13:56,166
-Really?
-[Shanann] Really.
246
00:13:56,233 --> 00:13:57,666
[Chris] That's awesome.
247
00:13:58,266 --> 00:13:59,666
So, pink means?
248
00:13:59,733 --> 00:14:01,300
-[Shanann] That's just the test.
-I know.
249
00:14:01,366 --> 00:14:03,133
I was just...
'cause pink is gonna be girls?
250
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:04,266
[Shanann] I don't know.
251
00:14:05,100 --> 00:14:07,233
-It's just the test.
-That's awesome.
252
00:14:12,533 --> 00:14:15,766
I guess... guess...
guess when you want to, it happens.
253
00:14:16,566 --> 00:14:17,400
Wow.
254
00:14:18,666 --> 00:14:19,766
[Shanann] Guess what, girls?
255
00:14:19,833 --> 00:14:22,033
Guess what, guess what, guess what, CeCe?
256
00:14:23,166 --> 00:14:25,566
There's a baby in mommy's belly.
257
00:14:28,533 --> 00:14:30,766
Belly... a baby.
258
00:14:30,833 --> 00:14:32,900
[Shanann] It's in mommy's belly,
you silly.
259
00:14:32,966 --> 00:14:34,133
It is in my belly.
260
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,833
[Shanann] Boy, boy, Chris wants a boy.
I hope it's a boy for him.
261
00:14:37,900 --> 00:14:39,166
It'll make him happy.
262
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,700
We go for our first ultrasound
at three... ish, 3:15.
263
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,000
And I'm kind of nervous.
264
00:14:49,733 --> 00:14:53,133
'Cause every time you go you're like,
"Is there one? Is there two?
265
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:54,233
Is there three?"
266
00:14:54,300 --> 00:14:56,766
Hey, Bella, how many babies
do I have in my belly?
267
00:14:56,833 --> 00:14:57,666
Five.
268
00:14:57,733 --> 00:15:00,933
-Whoa!
-[Chris] Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
269
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,366
[Shanann] That's a lot of babies.
270
00:15:02,433 --> 00:15:04,733
I can't tell you guys
how much I am blessed.
271
00:15:06,766 --> 00:15:08,633
I was told I couldn't have kids.
272
00:15:08,700 --> 00:15:09,966
That CeCe, Bella?
273
00:15:11,466 --> 00:15:12,366
Say, "CeCe."
274
00:15:14,866 --> 00:15:18,966
But I had two beautiful girls,
little baby monsters as I call 'em.
275
00:15:19,700 --> 00:15:21,166
[Chris] She looks shocked.
276
00:15:21,566 --> 00:15:22,566
Say, "Hi."
277
00:15:22,633 --> 00:15:25,800
CeCe doesn't stop, literally.
278
00:15:25,866 --> 00:15:29,600
Bella is just now getting old enough
to know what she's wanting in life.
279
00:15:29,666 --> 00:15:31,233
She wants to be, um...
280
00:15:32,866 --> 00:15:35,133
Uh, Elsa when she grows up.
281
00:15:40,700 --> 00:15:43,833
-[Scott] All right, appreciate your time.
-Thank you so much.
282
00:15:43,900 --> 00:15:46,200
-[neighbor] Hopefully something comes up.
-Yeah.
283
00:15:54,066 --> 00:15:55,000
[Scott] You mind if I...
284
00:15:55,066 --> 00:15:58,200
You just wanna go talk to him?
I'm gonna get his info real quick.
285
00:15:58,933 --> 00:16:00,366
He's not acting right at all.
286
00:16:00,433 --> 00:16:01,300
[Scott] No?
287
00:16:02,100 --> 00:16:03,600
He's never fidgety.
288
00:16:04,666 --> 00:16:07,800
He's never rocking back and forth.
And if you look here...
289
00:16:11,766 --> 00:16:14,500
He never loads his stuff
in and out of the garage, ever.
290
00:16:14,566 --> 00:16:15,400
[Scott] Right.
291
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,133
[neighbor] He's normally...
You can ask them.
292
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,433
He's normally quiet, real subdued.
293
00:16:21,500 --> 00:16:24,766
He never talks. So, the fact that
he's over here blabbing his mouth
294
00:16:24,833 --> 00:16:27,233
makes me kind of suspicious of something.
295
00:16:27,300 --> 00:16:30,033
[Scott] Yeah, but, I mean,
put yourself in his situation.
296
00:16:30,100 --> 00:16:30,966
Oh, I agree.
297
00:16:31,033 --> 00:16:32,733
[Scott] You know,
anyone's gonna be nervous.
298
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,066
You don't know what to do.
299
00:16:35,533 --> 00:16:37,633
[officer] Do all your friends
have kids the same age?
300
00:16:37,700 --> 00:16:38,566
[Chris] Mmm-hmm.
301
00:16:38,633 --> 00:16:40,300
-[officer] It's hard to--
-It's really hard.
302
00:16:40,366 --> 00:16:43,566
I mean, we've exhausted... I've exhausted
every option I know as far as friends go.
303
00:16:43,633 --> 00:16:47,300
Nicky knew more of them because,
uh, she's a woman... and...
304
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,366
that's about as far as we could go as far
as all the friends that we could think of.
305
00:16:52,433 --> 00:16:55,433
-[officer] Do you want my card?
-[Chris] I'll take it.
306
00:16:55,500 --> 00:16:59,000
[officer] Just call that number,
someone will answer that phone 24/7. So...
307
00:16:59,066 --> 00:17:01,600
-[Chris] Okay, sweet.
-And then just leave your contact info,
308
00:17:01,666 --> 00:17:03,900
-and an officer will call you back.
-[Chris] Thank you.
309
00:17:03,966 --> 00:17:05,933
-[officer] All right, thank you.
-[Chris] Thank you.
310
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,133
[dog barking]
311
00:17:07,700 --> 00:17:10,333
[Nickole] I'm just worried sick.
I don't know where she's at.
312
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,033
This is completely unlike her.
313
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,400
[Chris] This isn't right.
I don't know what to do right now.
314
00:17:16,466 --> 00:17:19,466
If they're not safe, that's what's...
that's what's tearing me apart.
315
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,800
[phone ringing]
316
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,200
This is Officer Goodman,
Frederick Police Department.
317
00:17:37,266 --> 00:17:38,700
[on phone] Yeah, this is Chris Watts.
318
00:17:38,766 --> 00:17:43,066
[Goodman] We're just trying to get some of
your wife and kids' information entered in
319
00:17:43,133 --> 00:17:45,000
to put some alerts out there.
320
00:17:45,066 --> 00:17:48,533
Bella, do you know her height,
weight, hair color, and eyes?
321
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,500
[Chris] Height would be 42 inches.
322
00:17:51,566 --> 00:17:52,633
[Goodman] Okay.
323
00:17:52,700 --> 00:17:55,400
[Chris] Weight would be 40 pounds.
324
00:17:55,466 --> 00:17:59,100
Hair color would be brown,
eye color would be brown as well.
325
00:17:59,766 --> 00:18:02,766
[Goodman] Okay, does she have
any scars, marks, tattoos?
326
00:18:03,233 --> 00:18:04,100
[Chris] No.
327
00:18:04,166 --> 00:18:06,133
[Goodman] Okay, and then on Celeste.
328
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:10,833
[Chris] She is... 37 inches tall.
329
00:18:10,900 --> 00:18:13,366
Thirty-seven pounds, blond hair.
330
00:18:13,433 --> 00:18:15,166
-[Goodman] Eyes?
-[Chris] Hazel eyes.
331
00:18:15,233 --> 00:18:16,066
[Goodman] Hazel.
332
00:18:16,666 --> 00:18:18,933
Okay, and again,
no scars, marks, tattoos?
333
00:18:19,500 --> 00:18:20,900
-[Chris] No.
-[Goodman] Okay.
334
00:18:20,966 --> 00:18:23,733
Does Shanann have
any scars, marks, or tattoos?
335
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,800
[Chris] She has a scar on her forehead
that only pops out every once in a while,
336
00:18:27,866 --> 00:18:31,700
from that car wreck she had
a long time ago, but no tattoos.
337
00:18:31,766 --> 00:18:33,866
[Goodman] Okay, yeah, well,
if you hear something,
338
00:18:33,933 --> 00:18:36,233
obviously let us know as soon as you can,
339
00:18:36,300 --> 00:18:39,866
and if you can think of anything,
of anything that might help us.
340
00:18:39,933 --> 00:18:42,300
-Okay, thank you very much, sir.
-[Goodman] All right, bye.
341
00:18:42,366 --> 00:18:43,200
[Chris] Bye.
342
00:18:59,066 --> 00:19:01,633
[officer] Hi. Officer of the
Frederick Police Department.
343
00:19:01,700 --> 00:19:04,000
We were out earlier
and left a flyer on your door?
344
00:19:04,066 --> 00:19:05,033
Yes.
345
00:19:07,833 --> 00:19:11,133
-[officer] Have you seen this lady?
-Oh my gosh, I've seen her on Facebook.
346
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:12,566
[officer] Facebook, okay.
347
00:19:12,633 --> 00:19:15,633
-Does she live in the area?
-[officer] She does, yep.
348
00:19:16,900 --> 00:19:18,566
I'll be on the lookout.
349
00:19:18,633 --> 00:19:20,466
[officer] Anything different
over the last,
350
00:19:20,533 --> 00:19:22,633
I don't know, two days, three days?
351
00:19:23,133 --> 00:19:25,866
Odd vehicles, odd noises, odd lights?
352
00:19:26,333 --> 00:19:28,633
There was a truck out here yesterday.
353
00:19:28,700 --> 00:19:31,000
In fact, that's why I thought
you were here yesterday.
354
00:19:31,066 --> 00:19:33,133
-Maybe someone complained about...
-[officer] Okay.
355
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,400
That I hadn't seen... seen before.
356
00:19:36,466 --> 00:19:37,833
[officer] What type of truck?
357
00:19:38,066 --> 00:19:39,233
Um...
358
00:19:39,533 --> 00:19:42,166
it was kind of almost a steel gray.
359
00:19:42,733 --> 00:19:45,033
-Don't ask me the make. [chuckling]
-[officer] Okay.
360
00:19:45,100 --> 00:19:49,000
Or year, but that was late afternoon.
361
00:19:49,066 --> 00:19:52,833
The dad has a great
big truck and it's gray.
362
00:19:53,300 --> 00:19:55,433
But this one was smaller.
363
00:19:55,500 --> 00:19:57,566
-[officer] Okay.
-This one was smaller.
364
00:20:01,766 --> 00:20:02,800
[officer] Hey, Chris.
365
00:20:02,866 --> 00:20:04,900
So, we need to have
everybody step out of the house.
366
00:20:04,966 --> 00:20:05,933
-Okay.
-[officer] Um...
367
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,200
[officer] Mostly we don't want
the dogs to get confused
368
00:20:08,266 --> 00:20:09,900
-with all the scents.
-[officer] Correct.
369
00:20:09,966 --> 00:20:13,233
So, you can leave that there.
You can leave your camera there.
370
00:20:13,333 --> 00:20:15,600
I'll bring it outside.
I don't wanna mess you guys up.
371
00:20:15,666 --> 00:20:17,500
Because my scent has... yeah.
372
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:18,633
[indistinct radio chatter]
373
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,066
[officer] There's an upstairs, yep.
All the bedrooms are upstairs.
374
00:20:25,166 --> 00:20:27,633
You know, maybe I'm just
old-fashioned, but this
375
00:20:27,700 --> 00:20:31,366
almost seems like this place is
a little bit too immaculate to be normal.
376
00:20:31,433 --> 00:20:33,233
[officer] It's amazingly clean.
377
00:20:34,766 --> 00:20:36,900
[reporter] You wanna give me
your first and last name?
378
00:20:36,966 --> 00:20:39,666
[Chris] I'm Chris Watts. W-A-T-T-S.
379
00:20:39,733 --> 00:20:41,600
[reporter] Do you think she just took off?
380
00:20:41,666 --> 00:20:45,600
I mean, right now I don't even wanna just,
like, throw anything out there, like...
381
00:20:46,166 --> 00:20:50,233
I hope that she's somewhere safe
right now and with the kids.
382
00:20:51,166 --> 00:20:53,666
But, I mean, could she have
just taken off? I don't know.
383
00:20:53,733 --> 00:20:58,400
But if somebody has her and they're
not safe, like, I want them back now.
384
00:20:58,900 --> 00:21:01,633
[reporter] This might be a tough question,
but did...
385
00:21:02,300 --> 00:21:04,800
did you guys get
into an argument before she left?
386
00:21:04,866 --> 00:21:07,700
It wasn't like an argument.
We had an emotional conversation,
387
00:21:07,766 --> 00:21:11,866
but I'll leave it at that,
but it's... I just want them back.
388
00:21:11,933 --> 00:21:14,966
Well, police really don't have
a lot of information right now.
389
00:21:15,033 --> 00:21:17,566
We do know that this neighborhood
where Shanann Watts
390
00:21:17,633 --> 00:21:19,133
and her two little girls live
391
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,200
is the last place that anyone
saw the three missing people.
392
00:21:33,833 --> 00:21:36,566
-[officer] Do you want this shut?
-Probably, you know.
393
00:21:37,266 --> 00:21:40,000
-Do you have a preference?
-It doesn't matter to me.
394
00:21:40,066 --> 00:21:41,633
[agent] All right, let's do this.
395
00:21:45,466 --> 00:21:47,166
So, I know it's hard to talk about.
396
00:21:47,233 --> 00:21:49,333
You mentioned that
there was a hard conversation
397
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,700
the two of you had about your marriage.
398
00:21:52,300 --> 00:21:55,633
Can you really get
into that conversation with me?
399
00:21:55,700 --> 00:21:59,966
I talked to her about how
I was feeling, about how I felt.
400
00:22:01,100 --> 00:22:03,766
What's been going on
with us for the last six weeks,
401
00:22:03,833 --> 00:22:06,966
'cause she was in North Carolina,
and I was down there just the last week.
402
00:22:07,033 --> 00:22:12,500
But, just being apart and just, like,
figuring out who people are...
403
00:22:12,566 --> 00:22:16,133
Honestly, like, the best way
for people to find out who they are
404
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,066
-is to spend time apart.
-I agree.
405
00:22:18,733 --> 00:22:23,300
When we were together, we could feel,
like, it wasn't there, that spark.
406
00:22:23,366 --> 00:22:26,966
I know it's kind of cliché,
but that spark wasn't there anymore.
407
00:22:27,033 --> 00:22:29,866
And that's why I got
so emotional right there.
408
00:22:29,933 --> 00:22:32,800
Okay... emotional for you, too?
409
00:22:32,866 --> 00:22:35,033
-Oh, yeah. I was bawling my eyes out.
-Yeah.
410
00:22:35,900 --> 00:22:39,500
Looking back on that conversation,
can you connect the dots between
411
00:22:39,566 --> 00:22:41,800
both of you being upset and crying...
412
00:22:41,866 --> 00:22:44,333
and here we are now,
she and the kids are gone?
413
00:22:44,900 --> 00:22:47,500
I think about, like, did I cause this?
414
00:22:47,566 --> 00:22:50,166
Like, did I make her feel,
like, she needed to leave?
415
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,466
Maybe she sat there
and thought about it, like,
416
00:22:53,533 --> 00:22:55,566
"Do I really need to stay here right now?
417
00:22:55,633 --> 00:22:58,633
Like, if he doesn't love me,
maybe I should just go."
418
00:23:06,100 --> 00:23:06,933
[Shanann] CeCe!
419
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,333
[Frank] This way. Come on.
420
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,333
[Shanann] You wanna go see the airplane?
421
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:15,333
Bella, CeCe, my dad and I are flying
to North Carolina for six weeks.
422
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,833
We're gonna spend time with our families
423
00:23:17,900 --> 00:23:20,333
and friends and everything else.
424
00:23:25,233 --> 00:23:29,000
And Chris will be coming
at the end of July.
425
00:23:29,066 --> 00:23:31,933
One day, Chris can
travel that long with us.
426
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:32,900
We're going up.
427
00:23:42,266 --> 00:23:43,700
[Sandi] Who's here?
428
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,233
Hi!
429
00:23:45,833 --> 00:23:47,900
[laughing] Hi, Nana.
430
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,266
Careful, oh, my goodness.
431
00:23:52,133 --> 00:23:53,633
[laughing]
432
00:23:57,866 --> 00:24:02,700
Happy birthday to you
433
00:24:02,766 --> 00:24:07,500
Happy birthday to you
434
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:12,600
Happy birthday, dear Nana!
435
00:24:12,666 --> 00:24:13,733
And on...
436
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,700
Happy birthday to you!
437
00:24:21,166 --> 00:24:23,000
-[Frank] All right!
-[Shanann] Wow!
438
00:24:23,666 --> 00:24:24,800
[agent] Hi, there.
439
00:24:24,866 --> 00:24:27,366
-Are you Nickole? Hi.
-[Nickole] Hello. We're gonna... yeah.
440
00:24:27,433 --> 00:24:29,900
Agent Greg Zettner
with Colorado Bureau of Investigation.
441
00:24:29,966 --> 00:24:30,800
Okay.
442
00:24:30,866 --> 00:24:33,100
So, I understand you and Shanann
are pretty good friends.
443
00:24:33,166 --> 00:24:35,633
[Nickole] Yeah, we hang out a lot,
we have kids the same age.
444
00:24:35,700 --> 00:24:39,766
[Greg] Did Shanann ever say anything
to you about their relationship?
445
00:24:39,833 --> 00:24:42,266
[Nickole] I think it was
the second or third week
446
00:24:42,333 --> 00:24:44,000
she was in North Carolina.
447
00:24:44,066 --> 00:24:46,400
She got in a fight with Chris's mom,
448
00:24:46,466 --> 00:24:49,500
because she went
to Chris's mom's house to visit,
449
00:24:49,566 --> 00:24:51,633
and the grandma, her name's Cindy...
450
00:24:51,700 --> 00:24:55,533
Cindy bought ice cream that has everything
CeCe's allergic to in it.
451
00:24:55,933 --> 00:25:01,466
So, Shanann asked Cindy, "Please do not
give this to CeCe. She cannot have it."
452
00:25:02,033 --> 00:25:04,033
[keys clacking]
453
00:25:20,166 --> 00:25:24,800
I knew that Shanann and his mom,
Cindy, were fighting again.
454
00:25:25,766 --> 00:25:30,700
This is coming from Cindy
that CeCe had a food allergy.
455
00:25:30,766 --> 00:25:35,933
And Shanann came into the living room
and was just yelling at Cindy,
456
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,366
telling her she's trying to kill her baby
or something,
457
00:25:38,433 --> 00:25:42,100
because of the food allergy,
and Cindy claims she had no idea about it.
458
00:25:42,166 --> 00:25:43,733
[Mark] They had this huge argument
459
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,133
and she ended up kicking
Shanann out of the house.
460
00:25:48,666 --> 00:25:50,033
Can you cut the lights?
461
00:25:50,100 --> 00:25:53,400
[Nickole] So, they argued and Shanann
got back to her parents' house.
462
00:25:53,466 --> 00:25:56,433
As far as I know, she did not
go back and see his parents.
463
00:25:56,500 --> 00:25:59,033
But they celebrated CeCe's birthday
while they were down there,
464
00:25:59,100 --> 00:26:01,766
and the parents
did not come to the birthday party.
465
00:26:01,833 --> 00:26:05,866
[all singing] Happy birthday to you
466
00:26:05,933 --> 00:26:11,666
Happy birthday, dear CeCe
467
00:26:11,733 --> 00:26:15,633
Happy birthday to you
468
00:26:16,333 --> 00:26:19,333
Yay!
469
00:26:20,466 --> 00:26:22,066
[phone chiming]
470
00:26:23,300 --> 00:26:25,300
[keys clacking]
471
00:26:34,133 --> 00:26:35,666
[Chris] There was an incident
472
00:26:35,733 --> 00:26:38,666
where she had some ice cream
that CeCe couldn't have.
473
00:26:38,733 --> 00:26:40,500
That kind of drove Shanann to where, like,
474
00:26:40,566 --> 00:26:42,466
"All right,
they can't come over ever again
475
00:26:42,533 --> 00:26:46,966
if you're gonna have this in this house."
And that's why that happened.
476
00:26:47,033 --> 00:26:51,900
l was hurt. I was like, you know, I wanted
my parents to see their grandbabies.
477
00:26:51,966 --> 00:26:55,633
-[Cindy] "Silly monkeys."
-[girls] Monkeys, jumping on the bed!
478
00:26:55,700 --> 00:26:58,333
Growing up and in high school,
if you hurt my feelings,
479
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,366
I never told you,
because I didn't like conflict.
480
00:27:00,433 --> 00:27:02,866
I really wasn't a big conflict person.
481
00:27:02,933 --> 00:27:05,866
I always lived for
other people until recently.
482
00:27:05,933 --> 00:27:10,533
Now I live for me and for my
family, my kids. I live for them.
483
00:27:11,333 --> 00:27:14,966
[Greg] Does your gut tell you that
Shanann and the kids walked out,
484
00:27:15,033 --> 00:27:16,366
or that they were taken out?
485
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,300
At first, I really thought maybe
she was just at somebody's house,
486
00:27:21,366 --> 00:27:23,200
-just decompressing.
-Just blowing off steam.
487
00:27:23,300 --> 00:27:28,466
Yeah, but after today, like,
with the onslaught of all the cars,
488
00:27:28,533 --> 00:27:31,600
I mean, all the police cars,
all the news, all the K-9 units,
489
00:27:33,233 --> 00:27:36,933
it's making me lean the other direction
about someone took her.
490
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:41,533
-Okay.
-But this is... if someone took her,
491
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,133
it would have to have been
someone she knew,
492
00:27:45,133 --> 00:27:49,400
because there's no sign of anything,
like, being disturbed or broken.
493
00:27:50,266 --> 00:27:51,933
And it's freaking me out.
494
00:27:58,133 --> 00:27:59,833
[phone ringing]
495
00:28:08,666 --> 00:28:10,233
[phone chiming]
496
00:28:56,633 --> 00:29:00,933
She texted me and said things were bad
and that she didn't know what she did.
497
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,400
Or what was going on with Chris
and she thought that it was his parents.
498
00:29:05,466 --> 00:29:08,300
The only other time he's ever
acted like this in the marriage
499
00:29:08,366 --> 00:29:10,100
was right after they got married.
500
00:29:10,966 --> 00:29:12,766
-[minister] I will love you.
-I will love you.
501
00:29:12,833 --> 00:29:14,466
-And stand by you.
-And stand by you.
502
00:29:14,533 --> 00:29:18,133
-As long as we both shall live.
-As long as we both shall live.
503
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,833
[Nickole] And it was because his parents
didn't go to their wedding.
504
00:29:20,933 --> 00:29:22,866
[Greg] So, his parents did not like her?
505
00:29:22,933 --> 00:29:25,400
[Nickole] No, they do not like her.
Yeah, they do not like her.
506
00:29:25,466 --> 00:29:26,566
His parents do not.
507
00:29:26,866 --> 00:29:28,266
Chris, you may kiss your wife.
508
00:29:28,333 --> 00:29:31,033
-[Greg] Do you know the reason for that?
-[Nickole] She can be bossy.
509
00:29:31,100 --> 00:29:32,900
[chuckling] But in a good way.
510
00:29:32,966 --> 00:29:36,500
I mean, it's not like... I've teased her,
because I'm like, "You're so bossy."
511
00:29:36,566 --> 00:29:40,633
But it's... she's trying to push you
to do good things and, like, motivate you.
512
00:29:40,700 --> 00:29:43,800
It's not like a... bitchy bossy.
513
00:29:43,866 --> 00:29:46,200
[Chris] My mom just never
thought she was good enough.
514
00:29:46,266 --> 00:29:48,733
[agent] So, what was the blow up
at the wedding about?
515
00:29:49,466 --> 00:29:51,500
[Chris] It was just... my mom.
516
00:29:51,566 --> 00:29:54,533
And very much my sister.
They just didn't like her.
517
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:55,600
[agent] Oh.
518
00:29:55,666 --> 00:29:59,766
[Chris] They just thought that Shanann
had taken me away from them
519
00:29:59,833 --> 00:30:01,366
and taken me off to Colorado.
520
00:30:01,433 --> 00:30:04,666
I'm definitely the...
dominant one in the relationship.
521
00:30:05,166 --> 00:30:07,700
Um, he's very... sweet.
522
00:30:07,766 --> 00:30:09,666
He's very calm. Um...
523
00:30:10,533 --> 00:30:13,700
I'm the high-strung one
in the relationship.
524
00:30:13,766 --> 00:30:15,766
[Celeste screaming]
525
00:30:16,900 --> 00:30:19,833
Santa's here,
but the kids are freaking out.
526
00:30:22,933 --> 00:30:24,733
Hey, Santa, where's your phone?
527
00:30:26,033 --> 00:30:27,966
-In the garage.
-[Shanann] I wanted it.
528
00:30:28,666 --> 00:30:29,766
Oh.
529
00:30:30,133 --> 00:30:33,300
[Shanann] I always say I have more
patience for children than I do adults,
530
00:30:33,366 --> 00:30:35,233
and I guess that goes for my husband.
531
00:30:35,300 --> 00:30:38,966
He's such a great guy
to put up with me over the years.
532
00:30:39,266 --> 00:30:40,433
[door closes]
533
00:30:40,833 --> 00:30:42,566
Sit down, Santa. Have a seat.
534
00:30:43,733 --> 00:30:45,233
I'll try to get the kids.
535
00:30:50,066 --> 00:30:51,233
Ho, ho, ho!
536
00:30:52,900 --> 00:30:54,366
-[Shanann] You're Santa?
-Yes.
537
00:30:55,700 --> 00:30:56,933
[Shanann] Where's the phone?
538
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,500
On top of your car in the garage.
539
00:30:59,566 --> 00:31:01,766
[Shanann] I needed it for pictures,
hold on.
540
00:31:03,466 --> 00:31:07,100
I gotta get the phone.
This is hard as one parent.
541
00:31:07,433 --> 00:31:11,166
I wanna get the phone,
so I can get pictures. Hold, please.
542
00:31:11,233 --> 00:31:13,033
[automated voice] ...period garage door.
543
00:31:13,100 --> 00:31:14,400
My husband's a genius.
544
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:15,933
Doesn't listen.
545
00:31:16,833 --> 00:31:21,000
[agent] Is there anyone that you think
that maybe your wife got close with?
546
00:31:22,133 --> 00:31:26,233
If she did, it was very, like,
secretive then, if that was the case.
547
00:31:26,300 --> 00:31:31,666
'Cause I had no inkling.
No, it wasn't even a suspicion.
548
00:31:32,166 --> 00:31:34,400
Not one guy? Or girl.
549
00:31:34,466 --> 00:31:38,100
I'm... if that was the case, I mean,
I didn't have one suspicion about it.
550
00:31:38,166 --> 00:31:40,166
Like, if it happened...
551
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,300
it wasn't even like...
552
00:31:43,300 --> 00:31:44,233
I wasn't aware.
553
00:31:45,266 --> 00:31:47,133
-Now, let's talk about you.
-Okay.
554
00:31:47,666 --> 00:31:50,233
I see pictures of you
from a few years ago,
555
00:31:50,300 --> 00:31:52,633
and I see you standing before me now.
556
00:31:52,700 --> 00:31:54,700
-Okay.
-You've gotten pretty fit.
557
00:31:55,333 --> 00:31:59,966
You can imagine when guys start cheating
or want to cheat, that's what happens.
558
00:32:00,033 --> 00:32:03,266
-So, tell me about it.
-I did not cheat on my wife.
559
00:32:04,133 --> 00:32:06,933
-I went from 245 pounds to about--
-[agent] You were 245?
560
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,133
-I was 245 pounds.
-[agent] Jeez, you look great, man.
561
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,533
[Chris] Thank you, I'm 185, 180 right now.
562
00:32:14,966 --> 00:32:18,300
Okay, and I've got to imagine that maybe
there was a girl that inspired that.
563
00:32:18,366 --> 00:32:21,333
No, I have never cheated on my wife.
564
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,666
Okay, you know that we have to get
to the bottom of this.
565
00:32:24,733 --> 00:32:26,033
-You know that.
-Yeah.
566
00:32:26,100 --> 00:32:27,000
Okay.
567
00:32:28,166 --> 00:32:30,566
-Would you take a polygraph?
-Sure.
568
00:32:30,900 --> 00:32:31,733
Okay.
569
00:32:32,733 --> 00:32:34,600
My name is Chris Watts.
570
00:32:34,666 --> 00:32:37,733
I'm doing my speech
on relationship deterioration and repair.
571
00:32:38,500 --> 00:32:41,633
You have to ask yourself three questions
when you're in a relationship.
572
00:32:42,133 --> 00:32:44,533
"Do I have a desire to keep
this relationship going?"
573
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,700
"Do I have a moral obligation
to stay in this relationship?"
574
00:32:49,133 --> 00:32:52,333
Or, "Is it a necessity for me
to stay in this relationship?"
575
00:32:53,033 --> 00:32:55,333
Sometimes a necessity could be children.
576
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,566
Sometimes, when you have children,
577
00:32:57,633 --> 00:32:59,400
and your relationship
starts to deteriorate,
578
00:32:59,466 --> 00:33:01,533
a child could help repair it.
579
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,933
When somebody
is not faithful to their partner,
580
00:33:06,666 --> 00:33:09,633
the partners realize that
the relationship cannot be sustained.
581
00:33:10,300 --> 00:33:13,833
Gradual would be
if you met somebody at work
582
00:33:13,900 --> 00:33:16,500
or a new friendship
has occurred, and you...
583
00:33:17,266 --> 00:33:21,566
as it goes on you see that maybe
this relationship has more potential.
584
00:33:21,633 --> 00:33:24,033
[phone line ringing]
585
00:33:25,233 --> 00:33:26,933
[Luke Epple on phone] Anadarko,
this is Luke.
586
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:28,800
Hi, Luke, this is Agent Lee calling
587
00:33:28,866 --> 00:33:30,666
from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.
588
00:33:30,733 --> 00:33:32,833
Are you Chris's supervisor?
589
00:33:32,900 --> 00:33:35,100
[Luke] Yeah, I'm his direct
supervisor, yes.
590
00:33:35,166 --> 00:33:38,266
[Lee] Do you have any idea
if, like, he has like a girlfriend,
591
00:33:38,333 --> 00:33:41,366
or if he thought his wife
had a boyfriend or anything like that?
592
00:33:42,166 --> 00:33:46,933
[Luke] He never indicated or said anything
to me that would make me think that.
593
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,200
He never came out
and said that for him or his wife.
594
00:33:50,266 --> 00:33:54,566
[Lee] Sure, okay, can you explain
to me Monday morning?
595
00:33:54,633 --> 00:33:57,000
Where would he go
to go to his job site?
596
00:33:57,566 --> 00:34:00,433
[Luke] He was out on
what's called the Cervi Ranch.
597
00:34:00,500 --> 00:34:03,100
-[Lee] Cervi, is that what you said?
-[Luke] Yeah.
598
00:34:03,166 --> 00:34:05,633
-[Lee] Okay.
-[Luke] We have several wells out there.
599
00:34:05,700 --> 00:34:09,600
He and a few of my other guys were
out there pretty much all day with him.
600
00:34:09,666 --> 00:34:12,000
[Lee] Do you have any concerns about him?
601
00:34:12,066 --> 00:34:15,400
[Luke] I don't, other than what
he's going through right now.
602
00:34:27,966 --> 00:34:29,966
Go ahead and have
a seat right here, Chris.
603
00:34:30,033 --> 00:34:31,733
-Sit on this?
-Yep, I know.
604
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,800
I'll explain what that is in a little bit,
but you don't have to worry.
605
00:34:34,866 --> 00:34:36,933
It's not on or anything right now.
It's not gonna...
606
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:38,866
[laughing]
It's not gonna buzz you or anything.
607
00:34:38,933 --> 00:34:40,466
I've never done this before.
608
00:34:40,533 --> 00:34:42,700
I know, a lot of people
haven't had polygraphs before.
609
00:34:42,766 --> 00:34:44,633
It's not a normal thing
that people go through.
610
00:34:44,700 --> 00:34:48,833
We're gonna first start by going over
from the beginning and telling someone.
611
00:34:48,900 --> 00:34:51,633
Maybe, you know,
a friend that you hadn't talked to
612
00:34:51,700 --> 00:34:53,166
since any of this has happened,
613
00:34:53,233 --> 00:34:56,733
and you're basically going to relay
all the details of exactly what happened.
614
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,200
So, like, I woke her up
after I got ready and everything,
615
00:35:00,266 --> 00:35:02,733
and then we had a talk about, like, uh...
616
00:35:03,166 --> 00:35:06,033
selling the house, and about separation.
617
00:35:06,566 --> 00:35:08,566
Did she accuse you of anything?
618
00:35:08,633 --> 00:35:12,133
I mean, being a woman, I mean,
she's like, "Is there somebody else?"
619
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,600
I'm like, "No, there's nobody else.
I mean, this is...
620
00:35:14,666 --> 00:35:16,500
This is me talking to you about it.
621
00:35:16,566 --> 00:35:20,733
This isn't, like, somebody
came into my life and took me from you.
622
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,066
This is, you know, me talking to you."
623
00:35:23,633 --> 00:35:26,300
Okay. So I want you to have confidence
624
00:35:26,366 --> 00:35:28,933
in the fact that you had nothing to do
with this disappearance.
625
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,400
We're gonna find that out today.
626
00:35:30,466 --> 00:35:33,600
And obviously, I mean,
I hope that you know
627
00:35:33,666 --> 00:35:36,566
if you did have something
to do with their disappearance,
628
00:35:36,633 --> 00:35:39,966
it would be really stupid for you
to come in and take a polygraph today.
629
00:35:40,033 --> 00:35:42,800
-Exactly.
-Right? Like, it would be really dumb.
630
00:35:42,866 --> 00:35:45,700
Like, you should not be here
right now sitting in this chair
631
00:35:45,766 --> 00:35:50,166
if you had anything to do with Shanann
and the little girls' disappearance. Okay?
632
00:35:54,900 --> 00:35:57,866
[officer] We're just handing out
flyers on this missing person.
633
00:35:58,300 --> 00:35:59,233
[man] Uh, okay.
634
00:35:59,300 --> 00:36:01,233
[officer] If you see them, know them,
635
00:36:01,300 --> 00:36:04,433
or if you have cameras on your house
that might have seen something...
636
00:36:04,500 --> 00:36:05,900
-[man] It's a mess.
-[officer] It is.
637
00:36:05,966 --> 00:36:08,633
-Do they think she's in the area?
-[officer] We don't know. I don't...
638
00:36:08,700 --> 00:36:10,566
I got nothing for you on that one, so...
639
00:36:10,633 --> 00:36:13,766
...a flyer with a missing lady
and her kiddos? Do you know her?
640
00:36:13,833 --> 00:36:15,633
[officer] There's a phone number
at the bottom,
641
00:36:15,700 --> 00:36:17,500
give us a call if you find anything, okay?
642
00:36:17,566 --> 00:36:20,666
[reporter] Police are canvassing
a small town with a big mystery.
643
00:36:20,733 --> 00:36:23,600
The disappearance of a pregnant
Frederick woman and her two children
644
00:36:23,666 --> 00:36:25,066
has captured the nation's attention.
645
00:36:25,133 --> 00:36:28,433
This is a very visible effort
on the part of Frederick police
646
00:36:28,500 --> 00:36:31,466
to make sure the word
is out about Shanann.
647
00:36:31,533 --> 00:36:34,733
Obviously, they said,
"We want to leave no stone unturned.
648
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:36,666
We don't want to rule anything out."
649
00:36:36,733 --> 00:36:39,033
Neighbors I talked to say this is scary.
650
00:36:39,100 --> 00:36:40,533
They want some answers,
651
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,733
but right now all we have
are a lot of questions.
652
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:47,700
[sobbing] I'm just concerned,
and Shanann, if you're hearing this
653
00:36:47,766 --> 00:36:49,300
or you're out there,
654
00:36:49,366 --> 00:36:51,866
please, please let somebody know
you're okay.
655
00:36:52,500 --> 00:36:54,433
The coolest thing about this is right now,
656
00:36:54,500 --> 00:36:57,466
there's only one person in this room
that knows what the truth is,
657
00:36:57,533 --> 00:37:00,500
and in about five minutes,
there's gonna be two of us.
658
00:37:00,566 --> 00:37:01,966
That's the coolest part, okay?
659
00:37:02,033 --> 00:37:04,333
And then I'm gonna go
share that with them out there.
660
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:05,233
-Okay?
-Okay.
661
00:37:06,733 --> 00:37:09,000
The test is about to begin.
Please remain still.
662
00:37:10,300 --> 00:37:12,700
Regarding Shanann's disappearance,
do you intend to answer
663
00:37:12,766 --> 00:37:15,066
-all of the questions truthfully?
-Yes.
664
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,766
-Is your first name Christopher?
-Yes.
665
00:37:20,300 --> 00:37:22,933
Did you physically cause
Shanann's disappearance?
666
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:23,833
No.
667
00:37:25,466 --> 00:37:27,933
Are you lying about the last time
you saw Shanann?
668
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:28,833
No.
669
00:37:30,733 --> 00:37:34,566
I really need your breathing to be normal.
You are, like, all over the place so far.
670
00:37:34,633 --> 00:37:35,600
I'm sorry.
671
00:37:35,666 --> 00:37:37,633
-That's okay.
-Like, sometimes I feel, like,
672
00:37:37,700 --> 00:37:39,533
I'm not breathing enough,
and I'm, like, uh...
673
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,000
[inhales and exhales heavily]
674
00:37:41,066 --> 00:37:43,533
-Like that. I don't want it to be that.
-Yeah, yeah.
675
00:37:46,166 --> 00:37:50,166
Before 2018, did you ever say
anything out of anger to a loved one?
676
00:37:50,233 --> 00:37:51,466
Yes. Uh, no.
677
00:37:54,366 --> 00:37:56,933
-Do you know where Shanann is now?
-No.
678
00:38:00,766 --> 00:38:03,433
Did you physically cause
Shanann's disappearance?
679
00:38:03,500 --> 00:38:04,333
No.
680
00:38:06,866 --> 00:38:09,600
Are you lying about the last time
you saw Shanann?
681
00:38:09,666 --> 00:38:10,500
No.
682
00:38:17,766 --> 00:38:21,666
All right, how'd you feel?
Same through all of it?
683
00:38:21,733 --> 00:38:23,900
I think I was the same through everything.
684
00:38:23,966 --> 00:38:24,800
Good for you.
685
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,300
-It's kind of hard to relax.
-I know. I get it.
686
00:38:36,833 --> 00:38:40,000
[Shanann] I'm in North Carolina,
those of you that are watching.
687
00:38:40,066 --> 00:38:41,466
Go get Uncle Frankie!
688
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,066
Go get Uncle Frankie!
689
00:38:45,633 --> 00:38:46,500
Go get him!
690
00:38:46,900 --> 00:38:50,300
[Chris] Shanann and the kids were
in North Carolina to see my family,
691
00:38:50,366 --> 00:38:52,633
and obviously her family,
and just kind of, like...
692
00:38:52,700 --> 00:38:54,733
'Cause they hadn't seen
the kids in a while.
693
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,300
And I was here
just going to work and working out
694
00:38:58,366 --> 00:39:00,133
and just keeping the house up.
695
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,666
-[Shanann] Can I see, CeCe?
-[Frank] CeCe, let Bella have one.
696
00:39:02,733 --> 00:39:04,166
[Shanann] CeCe, let me see the frog.
697
00:39:22,100 --> 00:39:23,366
[phone chiming]
698
00:39:51,033 --> 00:39:52,400
[Shanann] She's not getting her.
699
00:39:53,833 --> 00:39:56,066
She's like, "You growl, bark at me?"
700
00:39:56,133 --> 00:39:59,400
My daddy is a hero
701
00:39:59,466 --> 00:40:02,833
He helps me grow up strong
702
00:40:02,900 --> 00:40:05,366
He reads me books
703
00:40:05,433 --> 00:40:07,433
He ties my shoes
704
00:40:07,500 --> 00:40:11,733
You're a hero, through and through
705
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,000
[Chris] My flight was July 31st.
706
00:40:14,066 --> 00:40:17,866
And I flew out there for a week,
so I could fly back with them.
707
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:20,500
[phone chiming]
708
00:40:22,233 --> 00:40:24,233
[keys clacking]
709
00:40:29,300 --> 00:40:30,933
Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!
710
00:40:38,866 --> 00:40:40,033
[Shanann] Can't run.
711
00:40:40,866 --> 00:40:42,833
[indistinct chatter]
712
00:40:43,366 --> 00:40:44,500
[Chris chuckles]
713
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:47,833
-Now, I can hug you. Come here.
-Daddy.
714
00:40:47,900 --> 00:40:49,200
Come here, little girls.
715
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,166
Hey. Hey.
716
00:40:54,700 --> 00:40:56,033
Daddy was on a plane.
717
00:40:56,100 --> 00:40:56,933
Airplane?
718
00:40:57,566 --> 00:40:58,400
I know.
719
00:40:58,466 --> 00:40:59,700
You went on an airplane?
720
00:40:59,766 --> 00:41:00,600
I did.
721
00:41:01,766 --> 00:41:02,600
You did?
722
00:41:02,666 --> 00:41:03,500
Yes, I did.
723
00:41:07,733 --> 00:41:11,300
Hey, everybody. So, this is the girls'
first time to the beach.
724
00:41:11,366 --> 00:41:13,366
Come here, girls. Get on the sand.
725
00:41:14,466 --> 00:41:16,466
[Chris] Wowee. Look at that.
726
00:41:17,900 --> 00:41:19,666
[Shanann] You like the sand, CeCe?
727
00:41:19,733 --> 00:41:22,500
Yeah? You wanna go by the lifeguard?
728
00:41:23,433 --> 00:41:24,866
[Chris] Not yet, Bella.
729
00:41:25,466 --> 00:41:26,833
[Shanann] CeCe, come here.
730
00:41:27,466 --> 00:41:30,166
Bella, come here first.
Let's go over here. Let's go find...
731
00:41:30,233 --> 00:41:31,700
a spot so we can sit.
732
00:41:32,333 --> 00:41:34,066
-No, no no! [screams]
-[girls laughing]
733
00:41:51,933 --> 00:41:53,366
[phone chiming]
734
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,000
[Shanann] Turn her slightly this way.
I wanna get a picture.
735
00:42:14,066 --> 00:42:15,500
Turn her slightly this way.
736
00:42:18,133 --> 00:42:19,300
Good job, B!
737
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,633
No, no, CeCe, let Pop Pop help you.
738
00:42:26,866 --> 00:42:27,733
All right, CeCe.
739
00:43:20,966 --> 00:43:22,433
[phone chiming]
740
00:43:57,566 --> 00:44:01,866
I brought Graham in here, 'cause we wanted
to talk to you about the results, okay?
741
00:44:06,300 --> 00:44:10,066
So, um, it is completely clear that you
were not honest during the testing,
742
00:44:10,133 --> 00:44:14,066
and I think you already know that.
Um, you did not pass the polygraph test.
743
00:44:14,133 --> 00:44:15,000
[Chris] Okay.
744
00:44:15,066 --> 00:44:18,400
Okay, so, now we need to talk about
what actually happened,
745
00:44:18,466 --> 00:44:21,066
and I feel like
you're probably ready to do that.
746
00:44:21,833 --> 00:44:24,933
I didn't... I didn't lie to you
on that polygraph, I promise.
747
00:44:25,666 --> 00:44:26,966
-Chris--
-I'm... I'm not...
748
00:44:27,033 --> 00:44:28,200
Time to stop.
749
00:44:28,266 --> 00:44:30,166
-It's time.
-I'm... [scoffs]
750
00:44:30,233 --> 00:44:32,200
Just stop for a minute,
take a deep breath.
751
00:44:33,466 --> 00:44:35,900
I want you to take
a deep breath right now.
752
00:44:37,733 --> 00:44:40,433
[Graham inhales and exhales deeply]
753
00:44:42,433 --> 00:44:44,900
There's a reason
you feel sick to your stomach.
754
00:44:44,966 --> 00:44:48,533
When people hold stuff inside,
it makes you physically ill.
755
00:44:49,333 --> 00:44:53,233
I can just tell on your face. I could
tell from the second that you walked in
756
00:44:53,300 --> 00:44:55,266
that you were wanting to...
757
00:44:55,333 --> 00:44:57,500
just come clean
and just be done with this.
758
00:44:58,233 --> 00:45:01,433
And I appreciate that, because you knew,
sitting down in that chair,
759
00:45:01,500 --> 00:45:03,200
that you weren't gonna pass today.
760
00:45:03,266 --> 00:45:06,066
And you knew I was gonna find out,
'cause I told you that,
761
00:45:06,133 --> 00:45:11,600
and then you continued to stay,
knowing that you could at the end say,
762
00:45:11,666 --> 00:45:14,566
"You know, what?
I just need to get this off my chest.
763
00:45:14,633 --> 00:45:17,333
Like, I just wanna tell you
what happened."
764
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:21,066
We're not here to play games.
We're not here to do any of that with you.
765
00:45:21,133 --> 00:45:22,700
We just want to know what happened.
766
00:45:24,100 --> 00:45:26,933
So, can you start from the beginning
and tell us what happened?
767
00:45:27,566 --> 00:45:31,466
Everything that I told you...
I did not lie on this polygraph.
768
00:45:31,533 --> 00:45:36,366
I am... I don't know how much I could...
I... could tell you right now.
769
00:45:36,433 --> 00:45:39,766
-Like, I did not--
-Chris, it's not even an option right now.
770
00:45:39,833 --> 00:45:42,633
You did not pass the polygraph.
I know you were being deceptive.
771
00:45:42,700 --> 00:45:46,366
So, that's not even an issue right now.
The issue right now is
772
00:45:46,433 --> 00:45:48,133
what happened to Shanann...
773
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:50,566
Bella, and Celeste.
774
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:52,666
That's the issue right now.
775
00:45:52,733 --> 00:45:55,333
-Okay.
-Okay, so, let's talk about that.
776
00:45:56,233 --> 00:45:59,833
[Bella] CeCe, you're making me more sad,
because I miss Uncle Frankie.
777
00:45:59,900 --> 00:46:01,366
[sobbing]
778
00:46:01,700 --> 00:46:03,066
I miss him.
779
00:46:03,766 --> 00:46:05,266
Can we go visit Frankie?
780
00:46:05,333 --> 00:46:06,533
[Shanann] What's wrong, baby?
781
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:08,100
I miss Uncle Frankie.
782
00:46:08,166 --> 00:46:09,600
[Shanann] You miss Uncle Frankie?
783
00:46:09,666 --> 00:46:10,666
Yes.
784
00:46:10,733 --> 00:46:12,233
[Shanann] Where's the truck going?
785
00:46:14,166 --> 00:46:15,833
To the airplane!
786
00:46:16,366 --> 00:46:19,533
[Shanann] That's the wrong way, Bella.
Wrong way.
787
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:21,233
That would've been funny.
788
00:46:23,166 --> 00:46:26,633
Turn your bag so it's easy.
This way. You gotta carry it.
789
00:46:39,100 --> 00:46:41,100
[Shanann] Missed you, Dieter.
790
00:46:41,166 --> 00:46:43,766
[girls laughing and chattering]
791
00:46:44,500 --> 00:46:46,300
I love my Dieter dog.
792
00:46:46,366 --> 00:46:47,533
[girls exclaiming]
793
00:47:01,700 --> 00:47:03,933
[phone chiming]
794
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:26,133
[detective] Today's date is
August 15, 2018.
795
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:29,033
Interviewing, uh... Nichol Kessinger.
796
00:48:29,900 --> 00:48:32,133
[detective 2] There's a whole bunch of us
working on this,
797
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:34,000
and we will until we resolve it.
798
00:48:34,066 --> 00:48:37,166
[Nichol] He has no idea that I'm talking
to you guys. Nobody does.
799
00:48:37,233 --> 00:48:38,900
I think he's a really good guy,
800
00:48:38,966 --> 00:48:42,966
and, you know, I'm worried
about his wife and kids.
801
00:48:43,033 --> 00:48:45,200
[detective 2]
And we appreciate any insight.
802
00:48:45,266 --> 00:48:48,866
[Nichol] So, I met Chris at work,
803
00:48:48,933 --> 00:48:51,300
probably around the beginning of June.
804
00:48:52,500 --> 00:48:55,866
And he informed me
that he did have two daughters.
805
00:48:55,933 --> 00:48:59,900
Um, he also told me
that he was currently in the process
806
00:48:59,966 --> 00:49:02,333
of the separation from his wife,
807
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:03,700
and that's how it started.
808
00:49:03,766 --> 00:49:04,933
[detective] Sure, okay,
809
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:08,066
and then did your relationship develop
beyond friendship?
810
00:49:09,366 --> 00:49:10,200
[Nichol] Yes.
811
00:49:12,333 --> 00:49:13,900
[Chris] You're so damn sexy.
812
00:49:16,300 --> 00:49:19,633
Thank you so much for coming
out here with me, Christopher.
813
00:49:20,433 --> 00:49:23,600
I'm having a wonderful time.
You mean a lot to me.
814
00:49:24,466 --> 00:49:28,366
And I'm glad that you're having a blast.
I am so out of breath.
815
00:49:31,866 --> 00:49:35,233
One thing I did wanna
let you guys know is that...
816
00:49:35,300 --> 00:49:38,066
I found out that she is 15 weeks pregnant.
817
00:49:38,866 --> 00:49:42,966
I did not know that. Uh, I had
to find that out through the media.
818
00:49:43,033 --> 00:49:48,166
It's really concerning me that this woman
and her children cannot be located.
819
00:49:48,233 --> 00:49:53,200
It's... it's not okay. It scares me,
and I'm worried for all of them.
820
00:49:55,866 --> 00:49:58,600
[Lee] This is where
the rubber meets the road, Chris.
821
00:49:59,333 --> 00:50:02,100
Like, don't let this
continue any longer, please.
822
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,366
I'm not trying to make anything continue.
823
00:50:06,166 --> 00:50:07,933
I want them back home like...
824
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,800
But you know they're not
coming back home. You know that.
825
00:50:12,866 --> 00:50:16,066
I don't know... in the back of my head
I hope they come back home.
826
00:50:16,700 --> 00:50:20,400
-But you know they're not.
-Uh, I hope they come back home.
827
00:50:23,033 --> 00:50:24,700
We just can't figure out...
828
00:50:25,866 --> 00:50:27,366
why there's two Chrises.
829
00:50:27,433 --> 00:50:29,666
So we need to talk about that, okay?
830
00:50:29,733 --> 00:50:31,033
[Chris] I cheated on her.
831
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:32,233
I know.
832
00:50:33,900 --> 00:50:37,533
That five weeks I was alone,
I was with her most of the time.
833
00:50:38,666 --> 00:50:41,866
She's a wonderful person.
I mean, she knew I was married, yes.
834
00:50:41,933 --> 00:50:44,500
I told her we were going
through issues, yes.
835
00:50:44,566 --> 00:50:46,533
I told her that we were gonna get...
836
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:50,000
At the end, we were gonna be separated.
Like, once I figured out what that was.
837
00:50:50,066 --> 00:50:54,266
I didn't know what that was gonna be.
I saw her, took my breath away, and...
838
00:50:54,366 --> 00:50:57,166
I'd never thought
in a million years that could happen.
839
00:50:58,700 --> 00:51:03,166
I'm not proud of it.
Shanann accused me of it, I denied it.
840
00:51:06,133 --> 00:51:10,666
I didn't hurt her. I cheated on her.
I hurt her emotionally. I cheated on her.
841
00:51:12,233 --> 00:51:14,266
Here's the challenge that we have.
842
00:51:14,333 --> 00:51:18,333
We knew about Nikki and so we didn't need
to ask you about her in the polygraph.
843
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:23,133
I don't think this girl
did anything to hurt anybody.
844
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,066
-We can leave her out of it.
-[Chris] Okay. Okay.
845
00:51:25,133 --> 00:51:27,300
[Graham] And get back
to your wife and daughters.
846
00:51:27,366 --> 00:51:29,633
-These are your baby girls.
-My girls.
847
00:51:30,066 --> 00:51:32,100
And you have not shed one tear.
848
00:51:32,466 --> 00:51:36,000
Don't look into that, like,
I don't love my kids or my wife.
849
00:51:36,066 --> 00:51:38,866
Explain to me. You're crying
with your wife that you're leaving her.
850
00:51:38,933 --> 00:51:39,766
Yeah.
851
00:51:39,833 --> 00:51:42,900
But you don't cry that your two little
baby girls are missing?
852
00:51:42,966 --> 00:51:45,500
I'm hoping they're
still around somewhere.
853
00:51:45,566 --> 00:51:47,000
But you don't have them right now.
854
00:51:47,066 --> 00:51:48,966
You're not reading
stories to them at night.
855
00:51:49,033 --> 00:51:51,633
-I know.
-You're not giving them midnight snacks.
856
00:51:51,700 --> 00:51:54,233
-I love those girls to death.
-Then show us that.
857
00:51:54,300 --> 00:51:55,666
Show us that.
858
00:51:55,733 --> 00:51:59,600
-Chris, did Shanann do something to them?
-No, I don't know.
859
00:51:59,666 --> 00:52:01,233
-I'm serious.
-I have no clue.
860
00:52:01,300 --> 00:52:04,333
No, you would've known,
'cause they didn't leave the house.
861
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:06,800
-I think when--
-Did Shanann do something to them?
862
00:52:06,866 --> 00:52:09,866
And then did you feel like you
had to do something to Shanann?
863
00:52:11,766 --> 00:52:13,300
Chicks are crazy.
864
00:52:13,366 --> 00:52:15,266
Can I talk to my dad or something?
865
00:52:15,333 --> 00:52:18,200
Absolutely. Do you want
to bring him in here?
866
00:52:18,266 --> 00:52:22,266
No, I just can't talk to my dad.
Like, he flew across the country.
867
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:25,233
-Hey, Chris. How about this?
-I can't... I'm...
868
00:52:26,733 --> 00:52:30,366
If we bring your dad in here,
would you please tell him what happened?
869
00:52:33,500 --> 00:52:35,100
Can I just go talk to him out there?
870
00:52:35,166 --> 00:52:37,766
I've been in here for like,
five or six hours and I'm, like...
871
00:52:38,333 --> 00:52:41,200
[Graham] Absolutely.
He deserves an answer.
872
00:52:42,666 --> 00:52:44,033
[Lee] He's your best friend.
873
00:52:53,233 --> 00:52:56,366
[Graham] Hey, Chris, we're gonna let you
have as much time you need, okay?
874
00:52:56,433 --> 00:52:58,100
[Chris] Okay.
You're gonna leave us in here?
875
00:52:58,166 --> 00:52:59,600
-[Graham] Uh, yes.
-[Lee] Yeah.
876
00:52:59,666 --> 00:53:00,500
[Chris] Okay.
877
00:53:03,933 --> 00:53:05,166
[door closes]
878
00:53:05,233 --> 00:53:07,300
-I'm not gonna tell anyone.
-[Chris] I know.
879
00:53:11,833 --> 00:53:13,833
You gonna tell me what's going on, or...
880
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:17,466
I messed up the polygraph.
881
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:19,233
I failed it.
882
00:53:19,733 --> 00:53:21,533
-Failed it?
-Yeah, because there's--
883
00:53:21,966 --> 00:53:23,033
Too much emotions?
884
00:53:25,300 --> 00:53:26,433
So, I mean they're...
885
00:53:27,933 --> 00:53:29,566
not gonna let me go.
886
00:53:34,433 --> 00:53:36,366
Is there any reason why they shouldn't?
887
00:53:36,433 --> 00:53:37,866
[Chris muttering indistinctly]
888
00:53:38,566 --> 00:53:40,000
They know I had an affair.
889
00:53:41,566 --> 00:53:43,100
They... they... they know.
890
00:53:44,266 --> 00:53:45,766
I came clean about that.
891
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:51,833
Is there anything else you wanna tell me?
What's going on or what happened,
892
00:53:51,900 --> 00:53:53,766
or anything you can think of?
893
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:55,233
When...
894
00:53:56,033 --> 00:53:58,566
we had that conversation that morning,
895
00:54:01,133 --> 00:54:02,833
it was emotional, and...
896
00:54:03,766 --> 00:54:06,000
I told her about the separation
and everything like that.
897
00:54:06,066 --> 00:54:07,233
[Ronnie] Mmm-hmm.
898
00:54:12,366 --> 00:54:14,333
-I don't want to protect her.
-What?
899
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:15,933
I don't want to protect her.
900
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:18,633
You don't want to protect her?
901
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:21,166
I don't know what else to say.
902
00:54:23,766 --> 00:54:25,300
Do you know what happened?
903
00:54:26,066 --> 00:54:26,900
What?
904
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:29,100
-Did she hurt them?
-Yeah.
905
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:34,000
[whispering] And then I had to kill her.
906
00:54:34,066 --> 00:54:35,133
What now?
907
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:37,533
-I have to tell them I hurt her.
-You hurt her?
908
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,033
So, she started hurting the kids?
909
00:54:42,500 --> 00:54:44,500
[indistinct] Help me, Chris.
What happened?
910
00:54:52,500 --> 00:54:53,433
She...
911
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:57,666
-She...
-What?
912
00:54:57,733 --> 00:55:00,066
-She smothered them.
-She smothered them?
913
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:02,400
Or choked them?
914
00:55:04,100 --> 00:55:05,200
Did she kill them?
915
00:55:07,633 --> 00:55:09,866
They were... they were blue.
916
00:55:10,833 --> 00:55:13,533
Both of them?
She choked both of them to death?
917
00:55:14,033 --> 00:55:16,333
I freaked out
and did the same thing to her.
918
00:55:18,066 --> 00:55:19,266
Oh, my God.
919
00:55:22,366 --> 00:55:26,800
So, she killed both CeCe and Bella,
choked them to death?
920
00:55:32,466 --> 00:55:35,266
And you lost it
and then choked her, or...
921
00:55:35,333 --> 00:55:37,433
Mmm-hmm. I just... that was just...
922
00:55:38,233 --> 00:55:40,033
rage. I mean, I hadn't...
923
00:55:44,233 --> 00:55:46,033
Good God almighty, son.
924
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:54,900
[dog barking]
925
00:55:58,266 --> 00:56:00,700
I am live right now outside the home
926
00:56:00,766 --> 00:56:04,300
of Chris Watts and Shanann Watts,
and you can see behind me,
927
00:56:04,366 --> 00:56:08,300
police are here right now, processing
the evidence inside the home.
928
00:56:10,333 --> 00:56:12,633
[officer] Folks are here
to pick up the dog.
929
00:56:12,700 --> 00:56:14,266
[officer 2] I'll try to catch her first.
930
00:56:14,333 --> 00:56:15,433
[officer 3] Yep.
931
00:56:15,500 --> 00:56:17,233
-[police radio chirping]
-[dog barking]
932
00:56:18,300 --> 00:56:20,300
[reporter] Police have been towing a truck
933
00:56:20,366 --> 00:56:22,666
that was parked
just a couple of houses down.
934
00:56:22,733 --> 00:56:26,033
We didn't know it's connected
to the house, but they towed that as well.
935
00:56:26,100 --> 00:56:29,866
And they just came out
with the family's dog in a cage.
936
00:56:29,933 --> 00:56:32,666
Police have also went in there
with evidence bags.
937
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:41,033
-[Lee] What's that?
-Tell them.
938
00:56:43,033 --> 00:56:45,500
You doing okay? You sure?
939
00:56:57,133 --> 00:56:58,466
You did the hard part.
940
00:56:59,500 --> 00:57:02,500
All you have left
is to tell us where they're at.
941
00:57:02,566 --> 00:57:04,433
We can help you get them out of the cold.
942
00:57:05,933 --> 00:57:09,333
[Chris] They're gone.
There's no bringing them back.
943
00:57:10,233 --> 00:57:11,600
Well, where are they?
944
00:57:19,500 --> 00:57:22,266
They're at the first location
I went to that day.
945
00:57:23,233 --> 00:57:26,666
Where did you put them out there?
Chris, that's really important.
946
00:57:27,433 --> 00:57:30,366
-I didn't know what else to do.
-I know, just tell me, where are the kids?
947
00:57:30,433 --> 00:57:31,300
I know.
948
00:57:31,366 --> 00:57:34,566
I didn't know what else to do.
I was so scared.
949
00:57:34,633 --> 00:57:35,466
I know.
950
00:57:36,633 --> 00:57:37,833
Will you show us?
951
00:57:38,300 --> 00:57:39,666
What's going to happen?
952
00:57:40,666 --> 00:57:42,300
We're gonna help them get out of there.
953
00:57:43,233 --> 00:57:45,500
Chris, I know they're gone,
but they're still your babies.
954
00:57:45,566 --> 00:57:47,766
-You're still their dad.
-You don't want them out there.
955
00:57:47,833 --> 00:57:49,466
[sobbing] I don't want them out there.
956
00:57:52,033 --> 00:57:56,500
And you don't want someone else to find
them out there. You don't, I promise you.
957
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:04,766
Can you give us a second,
so we can get some... things arranged?
958
00:58:04,833 --> 00:58:06,100
Can you do that?
959
00:58:07,033 --> 00:58:08,900
Ronnie, do you want
to stay in here with him?
960
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:25,033
The problem is I don't even know
if they believe me or not.
961
00:58:27,666 --> 00:58:31,766
-Are they buried in something or...
-Shanann is.
962
00:58:35,166 --> 00:58:36,566
[Ronnie] What about the babies?
963
00:58:37,533 --> 00:58:41,066
[Chris] That's what I'm worried about.
They're in a freaking oil tank.
964
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:45,500
I didn't know what else to do.
965
00:58:50,066 --> 00:58:52,933
Please, God... forgive me.
966
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:04,000
[Graham] I think we have a picture of,
is it Cervi 319?
967
00:59:04,666 --> 00:59:07,300
Does that look familiar to you?
What is that?
968
00:59:07,366 --> 00:59:09,900
[Chris] That's Cervi 319.
969
00:59:09,966 --> 00:59:10,900
Okay.
970
00:59:11,566 --> 00:59:12,633
Whereabouts...
971
00:59:13,666 --> 00:59:15,500
is Shanann and the girls?
972
00:59:18,366 --> 00:59:20,166
[Chris] How old is this picture?
973
00:59:20,233 --> 00:59:21,933
-[Lee] Today.
-[Chris] Oh, it's today?
974
00:59:24,733 --> 00:59:25,900
Shanann's right here.
975
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:32,533
Is that "S" for Shanann, okay,
and where are the girls at?
976
00:59:33,300 --> 00:59:34,133
They're in here.
977
00:59:35,433 --> 00:59:37,066
[Graham] Are they in the tanks?
978
00:59:38,166 --> 00:59:41,033
[Chris] They're like...
there's just a hatch on the top,
979
00:59:41,100 --> 00:59:43,233
and they're, like, 20 foot tanks.
980
00:59:45,933 --> 00:59:48,466
-[Lee] There was a sheet found down here.
-[Chris] Mmm-hmm.
981
00:59:48,533 --> 00:59:49,966
[Lee] What is that from?
982
00:59:50,666 --> 00:59:52,800
[Chris] That was
what Shanann was wrapped in.
983
00:59:59,700 --> 01:00:02,666
[Lee] You're good with the public
knowing Shanann killed her daughters?
984
01:00:02,733 --> 01:00:04,100
[Chris] I did not hurt these girls.
985
01:00:04,166 --> 01:00:06,400
[Lee] You okay with the public
knowing that Shanann--
986
01:00:06,466 --> 01:00:08,333
Yes, because I did not hurt these girls.
987
01:00:11,966 --> 01:00:13,733
What it looks like is that...
988
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:16,200
you got a new life...
989
01:00:16,966 --> 01:00:20,066
and the only way to get that new life
was to get rid of the old life.
990
01:00:21,300 --> 01:00:25,200
And I think that you killed these girls
before their mom came home
991
01:00:25,266 --> 01:00:27,466
-and then killed Shanann.
-[Chris] No, no, no.
992
01:00:28,033 --> 01:00:31,466
It just doesn't make sense.
It just doesn't add up.
993
01:00:31,933 --> 01:00:35,100
So... either you're this monster,
994
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:38,200
"So, I just want this young,
hot girlfriend,
995
01:00:38,266 --> 01:00:41,866
so I'm gonna kill everyone
and hope it works out," or something.
996
01:00:43,433 --> 01:00:46,566
So, I think we're
very, very close to the truth,
997
01:00:46,633 --> 01:00:48,000
but not quite there yet.
998
01:00:52,433 --> 01:00:55,666
-So, if you're not that monster--
-I'm not a monster.
999
01:00:55,733 --> 01:00:56,600
I didn't...
1000
01:00:57,700 --> 01:00:59,633
kill my babies.
1001
01:00:59,700 --> 01:01:00,533
Okay.
1002
01:01:10,866 --> 01:01:14,933
On August 10, Shanann
flew out to Arizona with Nickole.
1003
01:01:15,900 --> 01:01:19,433
And I had the kids
from Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
1004
01:01:20,866 --> 01:01:22,366
[Greg] How long have you known Shanann?
1005
01:01:22,433 --> 01:01:24,300
[Nickole] Three to four years,
I would say.
1006
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:27,133
[Greg] So, you guys... was there, like,
a convention this last weekend?
1007
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:28,900
[Nickole] There was a training in Arizona
1008
01:01:28,966 --> 01:01:31,600
that some of the top leaders
of the company were putting on.
1009
01:01:31,666 --> 01:01:32,500
[Greg] Okay.
1010
01:01:32,833 --> 01:01:34,833
So, you picked her up from her house.
1011
01:01:34,900 --> 01:01:36,600
[Nickole] She was waiting
on the front porch.
1012
01:01:36,666 --> 01:01:37,633
[Greg] Oh, she was, okay.
1013
01:01:37,700 --> 01:01:39,200
[Nickole] Then we drove to the airport.
1014
01:01:39,266 --> 01:01:41,066
[Greg] Do you remember
when you picked her up?
1015
01:01:41,133 --> 01:01:42,266
[Nickole] It was around 4:30.
1016
01:01:42,333 --> 01:01:43,566
-[Greg] In the morning?
-Mmm-hmm.
1017
01:01:43,633 --> 01:01:45,633
[keys clacking]
1018
01:02:48,133 --> 01:02:50,833
[Graham] Chris, come stand up for me.
1019
01:02:51,333 --> 01:02:53,733
I'm gonna have you
face that wall over there.
1020
01:02:54,433 --> 01:02:56,166
That one, just face it.
1021
01:02:59,100 --> 01:03:00,500
Lift up your hands.
1022
01:03:11,833 --> 01:03:13,800
[reporter] In just the last ten minutes,
1023
01:03:13,866 --> 01:03:16,166
we have confirmed that Shanann's husband
1024
01:03:16,233 --> 01:03:19,933
and the father of her two children,
Chris Watts, has confessed.
1025
01:03:29,866 --> 01:03:33,233
Neighbors here, some of them are still
outside tonight. They're all on edge.
1026
01:03:33,300 --> 01:03:36,933
They are saddened by this horrific news
if this indeed is the case.
1027
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:39,066
Sir. Can you step over here
for me, please?
1028
01:03:39,733 --> 01:03:43,333
Face this bar right here.
Sir, you got anything on you?
1029
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:45,400
[both talking indistinctly]
1030
01:03:57,433 --> 01:04:00,066
[spokesman] At this point,
we have been able to recover
1031
01:04:00,133 --> 01:04:04,066
a body that we're quite certain
is Shanann Watts' body.
1032
01:04:04,133 --> 01:04:06,300
We have strong reason to believe
1033
01:04:06,366 --> 01:04:09,333
that we know where the bodies
of the children are,
1034
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:11,400
and recovery efforts
are in process on that.
1035
01:04:13,866 --> 01:04:18,466
This is absolutely the worst possible
outcome that any of us could imagine.
1036
01:04:23,533 --> 01:04:27,200
[Frank] Thank you everyone
for coming out to the candlelight vigil,
1037
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:32,533
and saying all your prayers.
They are greatly appreciated.
1038
01:04:33,033 --> 01:04:35,833
And keep the prayers coming
for our family.
1039
01:04:58,866 --> 01:05:00,333
[phone chiming]
1040
01:05:21,966 --> 01:05:23,433
[detective] You talk about...
1041
01:05:24,933 --> 01:05:27,666
children, and he's got his own kids,
1042
01:05:27,733 --> 01:05:29,166
and that makes you uncomfortable,
1043
01:05:29,233 --> 01:05:31,500
because you'd like to have
your own family.
1044
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:34,300
Put that in context for me.
1045
01:05:34,366 --> 01:05:37,300
Is that... is that a fair statement,
the way I'm saying it?
1046
01:05:38,366 --> 01:05:41,633
I mean, I guess, but that was never
anything I, like, said to him, though.
1047
01:05:41,700 --> 01:05:46,300
Okay, that's what I wanted to know.
Did you ever say anything to him about...
1048
01:05:46,366 --> 01:05:48,033
Never, never...
1049
01:05:48,100 --> 01:05:50,633
-Anything about his kids being a problem?
-No.
1050
01:05:50,700 --> 01:05:54,100
-Anything about his wife being a problem?
-Never, never.
1051
01:05:54,566 --> 01:05:58,666
This shocked me just as much as
I think it shocked the rest of the world.
1052
01:05:59,866 --> 01:06:00,700
All of it.
1053
01:06:01,233 --> 01:06:02,633
Like, he lies so much.
1054
01:06:02,700 --> 01:06:06,166
Now, I go back and think of all the shit,
and I'm like, "It's lies."
1055
01:06:06,233 --> 01:06:09,266
I really thought she left. I was like...
1056
01:06:10,100 --> 01:06:13,100
"Let her fucking go.
You know, she'll come back in a day."
1057
01:06:13,166 --> 01:06:16,500
"She'll get right. Let her cool down.
She'll be here. It'll be okay."
1058
01:06:16,566 --> 01:06:19,366
You know, like, had me convinced, like,
1059
01:06:19,433 --> 01:06:22,166
"I think she's just upset."
And then... and then...
1060
01:06:26,033 --> 01:06:29,033
[detective] Um, all right,
we can move past that.
1061
01:06:29,566 --> 01:06:33,133
Did you meet at your house?
Did you guys go to any restaurants?
1062
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:34,866
Did you go to establishments?
1063
01:06:35,966 --> 01:06:37,466
[Nichol] He came to my house,
1064
01:06:37,533 --> 01:06:41,466
and this past Saturday, we went to, um...
1065
01:06:41,533 --> 01:06:44,300
What's the name of that bar
that we used to go to?
1066
01:06:44,366 --> 01:06:46,500
It's not the same... the Lazy Dog.
1067
01:06:46,566 --> 01:06:49,100
So, he had to get a babysitter that night.
1068
01:06:50,633 --> 01:06:54,266
Chris said he went
to a Rockies game on Saturday night.
1069
01:06:54,333 --> 01:06:55,733
They got a babysitter.
1070
01:06:56,533 --> 01:06:59,766
And then she checked her bank statement
and he went out to dinner,
1071
01:06:59,833 --> 01:07:02,433
which, that's not odd,
but the total was 60-some dollars.
1072
01:07:02,500 --> 01:07:05,500
-[detective] You remember where that was?
-The Lazy Dog in Westminster.
1073
01:07:06,466 --> 01:07:10,066
-It's like a bar and grill type--
-You'd have to work at it to get 65 bucks.
1074
01:07:10,133 --> 01:07:12,400
[Nickole] Yeah, well, that's what
we were talking about.
1075
01:07:12,466 --> 01:07:15,333
So, then she gets off the phone with him,
and we come back.
1076
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:18,333
She's upset and she was like,
"Well, what did he spend that on?"
1077
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:20,933
And I'm-- "Food. Like, I don't know,"
and she looked up the menu.
1078
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:23,933
He said he had salmon and a beer,
and she's like, "That's only 30 bucks.
1079
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:25,833
Where's the other 40 dollars?"
1080
01:07:25,900 --> 01:07:28,066
So, then she started
going through their bank statement
1081
01:07:28,133 --> 01:07:30,700
to see if there was any other
kind of charges while she was gone.
1082
01:07:30,766 --> 01:07:33,833
[Nichol] We went back to my house for
a little bit, and then he had to leave.
1083
01:07:33,900 --> 01:07:35,600
[detective] Do you recall
the time he left?
1084
01:07:35,666 --> 01:07:38,666
[Nichol] I remember he was, like,
gonna be late to be back at 10:00.
1085
01:07:38,733 --> 01:07:43,166
I think there's a text message where he
starts texting me when he's at his house.
1086
01:07:43,233 --> 01:07:46,066
I remember, I texted him back,
and I was like, "Damn, that was quick."
1087
01:07:46,133 --> 01:07:49,233
He's like, "Yeah, I even had time to stop
at the gas station to get money
1088
01:07:49,300 --> 01:07:50,466
to pay the babysitter."
1089
01:07:50,533 --> 01:07:53,733
[Nickole] He didn't get home until 10:30,
which she found that to be odd,
1090
01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:55,800
because it was well after dinner.
1091
01:07:57,066 --> 01:07:58,700
And she knows when he gets home,
1092
01:07:58,766 --> 01:08:01,366
because their security system
tells you when you open the door.
1093
01:08:04,933 --> 01:08:08,700
A Colorado man charged in the murders
of his pregnant wife and two daughters
1094
01:08:08,766 --> 01:08:10,366
will be back in court today,
1095
01:08:10,433 --> 01:08:14,800
but in an unsealed affidavit, he says
he is not the one who killed his children.
1096
01:08:16,166 --> 01:08:18,533
I was just hoping
he would be man enough today
1097
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:20,866
to just be like, "Know what?
This is what happened."
1098
01:08:21,666 --> 01:08:23,300
There's no doubt in my mind.
1099
01:08:23,366 --> 01:08:26,433
My sister would never,
ever, ever hurt her children.
1100
01:08:26,500 --> 01:08:29,733
She loved her kids, loved them
more than anything in this world.
1101
01:08:30,633 --> 01:08:33,800
[reporter] Chris Watts learned
that he could get life in prison
1102
01:08:33,866 --> 01:08:36,533
without the possibility
of parole or death.
1103
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:39,966
Lots of you have asked about when
the death penalty decision will be made.
1104
01:08:40,033 --> 01:08:43,100
That is not something that's going
to happen, even in the next few weeks.
1105
01:08:44,633 --> 01:08:49,933
There is so much being said online
in the dozens of Facebook groups
1106
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:55,066
and the tens of thousands of followers
of these Facebook groups, these members.
1107
01:08:55,133 --> 01:09:01,200
Everyone is tearing each piece
of interaction between this couple apart.
1108
01:09:01,266 --> 01:09:04,900
[woman] I just have to wonder
if she even wanted Bella and CeCe.
1109
01:09:04,966 --> 01:09:07,933
[woman 2] Her parent-raising ideas
were disturbing.
1110
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:11,400
[woman 3] The one that I would
label the narcissist is Shanann.
1111
01:09:11,466 --> 01:09:14,466
[woman 4] I think she drove him
to lose his shit.
1112
01:09:14,533 --> 01:09:16,866
[woman 5] Oh, my God,
she did not drive him to do this shit.
1113
01:09:16,933 --> 01:09:18,000
[woman 4] She did, she did.
1114
01:09:18,066 --> 01:09:20,300
[woman 5] You don't know what
went on behind closed doors.
1115
01:09:20,366 --> 01:09:21,566
[woman 4] She drove him insane.
1116
01:09:21,633 --> 01:09:24,000
[woman 5] Come on,
why are you victim-blaming?
1117
01:09:24,066 --> 01:09:25,633
[woman 4] She was a bitch.
1118
01:09:26,866 --> 01:09:30,066
There are people out there
who believe he is innocent.
1119
01:09:30,133 --> 01:09:33,233
And those conspiracy theorists
are using social media
1120
01:09:33,300 --> 01:09:35,900
to relentlessly attack Shanann's family.
1121
01:09:35,966 --> 01:09:38,700
Shanann's father, Frank Rzucek,
says his daughter and his grandchildren
1122
01:09:38,766 --> 01:09:40,300
have been ridiculed,
1123
01:09:40,366 --> 01:09:44,366
demeaned, slandered, and mocked
in the most vicious ways you can imagine.
1124
01:09:45,300 --> 01:09:49,133
Please just stop.
Get on with your lives.
1125
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:50,100
Leave ours alone.
1126
01:09:53,666 --> 01:09:56,766
One, two, three. Four, Daddy!
1127
01:09:57,766 --> 01:09:58,600
Five!
1128
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:00,033
Six.
1129
01:10:14,066 --> 01:10:16,633
[Nickole] She called him that night
when we were at the airport.
1130
01:10:16,700 --> 01:10:19,633
She's like, "Will you watch my stuff,
I'm gonna go talk to Chris real quick."
1131
01:10:20,433 --> 01:10:22,733
She came back, it couldn't
have been more than five minutes.
1132
01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:24,466
I said, "Are you okay?" She's like, "No."
1133
01:10:24,533 --> 01:10:28,400
She's like, "I haven't talked to him
all day or hardly at all this weekend,
1134
01:10:28,466 --> 01:10:30,033
and he wants to work out.
1135
01:10:30,100 --> 01:10:32,666
He started working out
while he was on the phone with me.
1136
01:10:32,766 --> 01:10:34,133
So, I just let him go!"
1137
01:10:49,700 --> 01:10:51,300
[phone chiming]
1138
01:11:47,966 --> 01:11:50,400
[Nickole] I dropped her off around 1:45.
1139
01:11:51,333 --> 01:11:54,000
Then I went home
and I didn't talk to her again that night.
1140
01:11:58,633 --> 01:12:00,466
[indistinct chatter]
1141
01:12:15,366 --> 01:12:17,066
Good afternoon, everyone.
1142
01:12:17,133 --> 01:12:19,200
For those of you not present
in the courtroom today,
1143
01:12:19,266 --> 01:12:22,500
I want to take a minute to summarize
the nature of the proceedings
1144
01:12:22,566 --> 01:12:25,266
on People v. Christopher Watts
this afternoon.
1145
01:12:26,466 --> 01:12:31,333
Mr. Watts entered a plea of guilty
to all nine counts. Those counts include
1146
01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:34,900
murder in the first degree
after deliberation as to Shanann Watts,
1147
01:12:35,333 --> 01:12:38,333
murder in the first degree
as to Bella Watts,
1148
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:41,366
murder in the first degree
as to Celeste Watts,
1149
01:12:41,433 --> 01:12:45,333
unlawful termination of a pregnancy
as it relates to Nico Watts,
1150
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:49,366
and three counts of unlawful,
tampering with a deceased human body.
1151
01:12:50,500 --> 01:12:54,166
As a result of his plea of guilty,
he will not face the death penalty.
1152
01:12:54,833 --> 01:12:57,933
Sandi said it very, very poignantly to me.
1153
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:00,566
"He made the choice to take those lives.
1154
01:13:00,633 --> 01:13:03,400
I do not want to be in a position
of making the choice to take his."
1155
01:13:10,300 --> 01:13:12,966
[Graham] The last thing we talked
about was where the girls were.
1156
01:13:13,466 --> 01:13:15,966
But we never really got
to talk about that night.
1157
01:13:21,233 --> 01:13:23,166
[Chris] She got home,
like, at two o'clock.
1158
01:13:24,133 --> 01:13:26,033
I just had a feeling that she knew, like,
1159
01:13:26,100 --> 01:13:27,900
you know, what I did.
1160
01:13:27,966 --> 01:13:29,566
Saturday night was the last straw.
1161
01:13:31,433 --> 01:13:35,100
Going out with somebody
and using our actual bank account card,
1162
01:13:35,166 --> 01:13:37,533
and just, like,
not trying to hide it at all.
1163
01:13:40,833 --> 01:13:42,266
I felt her get into bed.
1164
01:13:42,900 --> 01:13:46,066
She started rubbing her hand on me,
and we ended up having sex.
1165
01:13:46,700 --> 01:13:49,666
When I woke up later on in the morning,
1166
01:13:49,733 --> 01:13:52,933
like, you know, I pretty much,
you know, told her, like,
1167
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:55,366
you know, I didn't think
it was gonna work anymore.
1168
01:13:56,200 --> 01:13:59,233
And she was like, "What happened?
What was last night?" You know?
1169
01:13:59,300 --> 01:14:03,433
She was like,
"I knew there was somebody else."
1170
01:14:03,500 --> 01:14:06,000
I couldn't just say,
"Yes, there is somebody else."
1171
01:14:06,066 --> 01:14:08,666
Then she said, "You're never
going to see your kids again.
1172
01:14:08,733 --> 01:14:10,766
You're never going to see them again.
Get off me."
1173
01:14:12,300 --> 01:14:16,600
If I'd never met Nikki, would I ever
have thought our relationship was bad?
1174
01:14:16,666 --> 01:14:17,600
Probably not.
1175
01:14:18,666 --> 01:14:20,366
[Graham] So, then, when did it turn?
1176
01:14:20,433 --> 01:14:22,333
[Chris] I told her
I didn't love her anymore.
1177
01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:23,500
That's when it happened.
1178
01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:25,266
[Graham] What happened?
1179
01:14:26,266 --> 01:14:28,966
[Chris] She told me to get off her,
and then I put my hands around her.
1180
01:14:33,566 --> 01:14:35,400
I don't even wanna say
I felt like I had to.
1181
01:14:35,466 --> 01:14:38,033
I felt like it was already something
in my mind that was implanted.
1182
01:14:38,100 --> 01:14:40,933
I was gonna do it when I woke up
that morning, and it was gonna happen.
1183
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:43,933
I had no control over it.
Why couldn't I just let go?
1184
01:14:44,666 --> 01:14:45,966
[Lee] What was she doing?
1185
01:14:46,466 --> 01:14:47,666
[Chris] She wasn't fighting.
1186
01:14:51,466 --> 01:14:53,133
Then Bella came in the room.
1187
01:14:53,500 --> 01:14:54,666
[Graham] What did she say?
1188
01:14:55,933 --> 01:14:57,600
[Chris] "What's wrong with Mommy?"
1189
01:14:58,733 --> 01:15:01,166
She had her little pink blanket with her.
1190
01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:04,400
[Lee] And where was
Shanann at that point?
1191
01:15:04,833 --> 01:15:07,500
[Chris] Pretty much on the bed,
but she was face down.
1192
01:15:10,800 --> 01:15:13,766
I put Shanann in that sheet,
carried her downstairs.
1193
01:15:15,533 --> 01:15:16,800
I pulled my truck up.
1194
01:15:17,633 --> 01:15:19,933
[Lee] So, you put Shanann in the truck
1195
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:22,466
and then you put
the two girls in the truck?
1196
01:15:22,900 --> 01:15:26,500
[Chris] Sitting in the back with the...
like, in that... that bench seat.
1197
01:15:26,566 --> 01:15:28,700
[Lee] So, Shanann was back there, too?
1198
01:15:28,766 --> 01:15:30,066
[Chris] On the floor.
1199
01:15:30,133 --> 01:15:33,200
[Lee] What did they say about
Shanann being on the floor?
1200
01:15:33,266 --> 01:15:35,300
[Chris sniffling] "Is Mommy okay?"
1201
01:15:35,366 --> 01:15:36,800
[Lee] What'd you tell them?
1202
01:15:37,333 --> 01:15:38,666
[Chris] "She'll be fine."
1203
01:15:41,333 --> 01:15:42,766
When I was driving up there,
1204
01:15:42,833 --> 01:15:46,466
they were just sitting there,
kind of asleep or kind of
1205
01:15:46,533 --> 01:15:48,900
just holding onto each other,
laying in each other's laps.
1206
01:15:51,666 --> 01:15:53,933
Honestly, like, I try to picture
that whole ride.
1207
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:56,700
It's like 45 minutes
to an hour ride out there.
1208
01:15:56,766 --> 01:15:58,000
And it's just like...
1209
01:15:58,666 --> 01:16:00,100
couldn't I have, like...
1210
01:16:00,900 --> 01:16:02,200
saved my girls' life?
1211
01:16:02,266 --> 01:16:05,133
Couldn't I have done something?
Why did I do it? I don't know.
1212
01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:07,133
I wanted all my life was to be a dad,
1213
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:10,966
just to have, you know, kids
and they love me, they... all that.
1214
01:16:11,033 --> 01:16:13,166
I just haven't... nothing made sense.
1215
01:16:13,800 --> 01:16:16,500
[Lee] So what happened
when you got out there?
1216
01:16:17,100 --> 01:16:18,833
[Chris] CeCe was... first.
1217
01:16:21,166 --> 01:16:22,666
I put the blanket over her head.
1218
01:16:23,033 --> 01:16:24,600
[Graham] Did she struggle at all?
1219
01:16:26,600 --> 01:16:27,700
[Chris] I don't think so...
1220
01:16:28,300 --> 01:16:31,066
[Graham] Then what happened to Bella?
Tell me what happened there.
1221
01:16:31,466 --> 01:16:33,533
[Chris] She said, "What happened to CeCe?"
1222
01:16:34,766 --> 01:16:36,333
Every time I close my eyes,
1223
01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:39,233
I start to see her saying, "Daddy, no,"
and that was it.
1224
01:16:40,066 --> 01:16:41,500
I hear that every day.
1225
01:16:50,900 --> 01:16:54,066
[Michael] After he disposed of
their bodies, he made several phone calls.
1226
01:16:54,133 --> 01:16:58,266
One was to the school, telling the school
that they were being unenrolled.
1227
01:16:58,733 --> 01:17:02,700
He contacted a realtor to start
discussing the selling of his house,
1228
01:17:02,766 --> 01:17:05,433
and he texted
with his girlfriend about their future.
1229
01:17:06,933 --> 01:17:09,500
None of this answers
the questions of why, however.
1230
01:17:10,133 --> 01:17:11,466
If he was this happy
1231
01:17:11,533 --> 01:17:14,100
and wanted a new start, get a divorce.
1232
01:17:15,400 --> 01:17:19,266
You don't annihilate your family
and throw them away like garbage.
1233
01:17:20,600 --> 01:17:25,300
Why did Nico, Celeste, Bella,
and Shanann have to lose their lives...
1234
01:17:25,366 --> 01:17:27,366
in order for him to get what he wanted?
1235
01:17:28,133 --> 01:17:30,666
Your Honor, Sandi Rzucek
would like to address the court.
1236
01:17:32,700 --> 01:17:35,300
[Sandi] I wanted to say thank you
for this moment.
1237
01:17:35,366 --> 01:17:37,933
We loved you like a son. We trusted you.
1238
01:17:38,966 --> 01:17:40,900
Your faithful wife trusted you.
1239
01:17:41,733 --> 01:17:45,200
Your children adored you,
and they also trusted you.
1240
01:17:47,633 --> 01:17:50,300
Your daughter Bella Marie
sang a song proudly.
1241
01:17:50,833 --> 01:17:54,200
I don't know if you got to see it,
but it was "Daddy, You're My Hero."
1242
01:17:55,166 --> 01:17:56,733
[voice trembling] I have no idea...
1243
01:17:57,633 --> 01:17:59,833
who gave you
the right to take their lives.
1244
01:18:00,966 --> 01:18:01,900
But I know...
1245
01:18:03,133 --> 01:18:05,433
God and his mighty angels were there...
1246
01:18:05,900 --> 01:18:08,133
at that moment
to bring them home to paradise.
1247
01:18:09,333 --> 01:18:10,566
Thank you, Your Honor.
1248
01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:16,233
[judge] Introduce yourself for the record.
1249
01:18:16,933 --> 01:18:18,466
I'm Cindy Watts.
1250
01:18:19,233 --> 01:18:23,766
I am still struggling to understand
how and why this tragedy occurred.
1251
01:18:24,966 --> 01:18:29,800
[sobbing] This might be hard for some
to understand how I can sit here
1252
01:18:29,866 --> 01:18:34,500
under these circumstances
and tell you all that we are heartbroken.
1253
01:18:34,566 --> 01:18:38,233
Although we can't imagine
what could have led us to this day.
1254
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:40,900
We love you...
1255
01:18:42,366 --> 01:18:44,400
and we forgive you, son.
1256
01:18:45,566 --> 01:18:47,833
[judge] Mr. Watts,
as I indicated when we began,
1257
01:18:47,900 --> 01:18:50,766
you have the right to make a statement
if you choose to.
1258
01:18:50,833 --> 01:18:52,333
Would you like to make a statement?
1259
01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:53,366
No, sir.
1260
01:18:53,933 --> 01:18:58,200
This is perhaps the most inhumane...
1261
01:18:58,833 --> 01:19:01,666
and vicious crime that I have handled
1262
01:19:01,733 --> 01:19:04,500
out of the thousands of cases
that I have seen.
1263
01:19:05,633 --> 01:19:08,366
And anything less than
the maximum sentence
1264
01:19:08,433 --> 01:19:11,266
would depreciate
the seriousness of this offense.
1265
01:19:11,766 --> 01:19:16,700
Deputies, I would respectfully ask
that you take this defendant into custody
1266
01:19:16,766 --> 01:19:20,300
and have him serve the rest of his life
in the Department of Corrections.
1267
01:19:24,800 --> 01:19:26,866
[reporter] A dramatic showdown
in court today
1268
01:19:26,933 --> 01:19:29,800
as a Colorado man
received three life sentences
1269
01:19:29,866 --> 01:19:32,133
for murdering
his pregnant wife and two daughters
1270
01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:34,200
in a case that shocked the nation.
1271
01:19:36,666 --> 01:19:40,300
[Frank] My daughter, even though
she was pregnant, is a fighter.
1272
01:19:41,833 --> 01:19:44,700
I still say he did this
while she was sleeping,
1273
01:19:45,333 --> 01:19:49,666
because he would not look the way
he looks right now if she was up.
1274
01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:56,133
[Michael] What I can tell you
most affirmatively today
1275
01:19:56,200 --> 01:20:01,100
is the spotlight that he tried to
shine on Shanann falsely, incorrectly,
1276
01:20:01,166 --> 01:20:03,900
and frankly a flat-out lie
has been corrected.
1277
01:20:03,966 --> 01:20:07,166
The spotlight shines directly
where it belongs, on him.
1278
01:20:13,633 --> 01:20:15,300
[on phone] Hi, Stacy, my name's Nickole,
1279
01:20:15,366 --> 01:20:17,933
and I'm calling, because I'm concerned
about a friend of mine.
1280
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:20,166
-[officer] Scott, how you doing?
-[Chris] How's it going?
1281
01:20:20,233 --> 01:20:21,733
All the girls' blankies are gone.
1282
01:20:21,800 --> 01:20:23,966
-[Nickole] Her phone's here.
-This is her lifeline.
1283
01:20:24,033 --> 01:20:25,033
[phone clatters]
1284
01:20:25,100 --> 01:20:26,566
[phone chiming]
1285
01:20:32,333 --> 01:20:33,700
[Nickole] Her wedding ring's here?
1286
01:20:33,766 --> 01:20:35,566
He's not acting right at all.
1287
01:20:35,633 --> 01:20:36,500
[Scott] No?
1288
01:20:37,733 --> 01:20:39,366
She's pregnant as well, sir.
1289
01:20:39,433 --> 01:20:43,366
Shanann, Bella, Celeste,
if you're out there, just...
1290
01:20:43,433 --> 01:20:44,733
just come back.
1291
01:20:44,800 --> 01:20:46,200
I need to see everybody again.
1292
01:20:46,266 --> 01:20:49,433
This house is not complete with...
without anybody here.
1293
01:20:57,033 --> 01:20:59,700
I can say, at the end of the day,
I've done everything
1294
01:20:59,766 --> 01:21:04,566
in my heart and my soul that
I could do to make my family's life better
1295
01:21:04,633 --> 01:21:07,433
and to give my family
what they deserve.
1296
01:21:07,500 --> 01:21:09,800
You guys are so silly.
Okay, let's go to school.
1297
01:21:10,900 --> 01:21:12,700
I love school.
1298
01:21:12,766 --> 01:21:17,800
Because of my health challenges,
because I got so sick,
1299
01:21:17,866 --> 01:21:18,866
I let him in.
1300
01:21:18,933 --> 01:21:21,300
He only knew me at that time.
1301
01:21:21,366 --> 01:21:23,233
He knew me at my worst,
1302
01:21:23,733 --> 01:21:24,966
and he accepted me.
1303
01:21:25,900 --> 01:21:29,933
We're not promised tomorrow, you know,
we're not promised anything.
1304
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:31,300
Oh, my goodness!
1305
01:21:31,366 --> 01:21:36,466
But we'll be able to enjoy our children
and every crazy moment--
1306
01:21:36,533 --> 01:21:38,666
-I love you girls.
-And give the baby a hug!
1307
01:21:38,733 --> 01:21:39,966
You wanna give the baby a hug?
1308
01:21:40,033 --> 01:21:43,333
[Shanann chuckles] It can be super crazy,
but I love them.
1309
01:22:13,733 --> 01:22:15,733
[light piano music playing]
