Experts Examine Chris Watts’ Life, Lies – And Why He Exploded

What Made Colorado Dad Turn Killer!

TWISTED killer Chris Watts, America’s most evil dad, hid his sick fantasies, long-simmering hatred and perverse bloodlust from family, friends and neighbors before he strangled his pregnant wife and two young daughters in a case that shocked the country!

Now, The National ENQUIRER has analyzed hundreds of hours of video, thousands of pages of files from the FBI, Colorado Bureau of Investigation and Frederick Police Department, and consulted with the country’s top psychologists and analysts to get inside the head of a remorseless monster!

To most people in his life, 33-year-old Watts seemed like a normal guy who would barely raise his voice — let alone a fist. He had no previous arrests, hadn’t publicly displayed antisocial behavior and had no documented history of violence.

But the seemingly doting dad spun out of control, becoming a cold-blooded killer who lied to loved ones and lawmen as he invented a paper-thin story about the disappearance and deaths of pregnant wife Shanann and children Bella, 4, and Celeste, 3.
