Killer Dad Chris Watts Claims He Is A New Man

from Crime Stories with Nancy Grace · host iHeartPodcasts and CrimeOnline

Hours after Chris Watts made an emotional plea for help finding his missing wife and two young daughters, the Colorado man led police to their bodies hidden in oil tanks near where he worked. After being convicted for the three murders, Chris Watts labeled his pregnant wife, Shanann, a “control freak,” and claims that he sought refuge with his mistress. He says Nichol Kessinger  was “everything my wife wasn’t like with me.” Watts confided to a jail mate that his marriage to Shanann was unhappy but Nichol was just everything my wife wasn’t like with me. She was just nice, and not a control freak." Later on, Watts told the jail mate that Kessinger became “the death of me,”  blaming her for inticing him away from his morals.  Now Watts claiming from behind bars that he is a new "forgiven" man. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
