The harrowing story of Chris Watts—the Colorado man serving three life sentences for the brutal murder of his wife Shanann and daughters Bella and Celeste—got even more complex earlier this year. Claiming to have had a religious conversion behind bars, the killer offered an expanded version of the grisly murders.
After his arrest in 2018, Watts initially claimed he strangled his wife in retaliation for harming their daughters, after Watts admitted to an extramarital affair. But in February, Watts sat down with investigators to explain how and why he killed his family and hid their bodies. Lawyers for Shanann’s family claim Watts made his admission because he has become an evangelical Christian behind bars and that his deep faith has inspired remorse.
