Shanann Watts, a 34-year-old pregnant mother of two, was murdered by her husband, Chris Watts, in their home in Frederick, Colorado, in August 2018. Along with Shanann, their two young daughters, Bella and Celeste, were also killed in a case that shocked the nation due to its brutality and the initial deception by the perpetrator. Chris Watts initially reported his family missing, appearing in media appeals pleading for their safe return. As the investigation progressed, inconsistencies in Chris Watts’ statements and behavior quickly drew suspicion. Within days, he confessed to murdering Shanann and later admitted to killing his daughters as well. The case gained widespread attention, highlighting themes of family annihilation, deception, and the hidden tensions within seemingly normal domestic life.
Shanann Watts was killed inside the family home shortly after returning from a business trip in the early hours of August 13, 2018. Evidence later revealed that Chris Watts strangled her in their bedroom. He then transported her body, along with his daughters, to an oil field work site operated by his employer. Shanann’s body was buried in a shallow grave, while the bodies of Bella and Celeste were placed in separate oil storage tanks. The home itself showed little sign of struggle, but investigators noted missing items, unusual behavior from Chris Watts, and surveillance footage that captured him loading his truck in the early morning hours. These elements contradicted his initial claims that his wife and children had simply disappeared.
The investigation began when Shanann’s friend reported her missing after she failed to attend a scheduled appointment and could not be contacted. Police quickly conducted a welfare check and began interviewing Chris Watts, whose demeanor raised suspicions. Surveillance footage from a neighbor’s security camera showed Watts backing his truck into the driveway and loading items, which conflicted with his statements. Under mounting pressure and failing a polygraph test, Chris Watts confessed to killing Shanann. He was arrested and later provided details of the murders and disposal of the bodies. Investigators recovered the victims from the oil site, and Watts ultimately pleaded guilty to multiple counts of murder. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
