Nathan's Mask: The Killer in the Search: The Murder of Becky Watts in Bristol The mask fell during the struggle. Nathan Matthews, the stepfather, picked it up from the ground while Becky tried to escape. Forty-eight hours later, the same man participated in the public search asking for her return, granting interviews to cameras, while the dismembered body lay in a shed three houses away. In this episode, we explore how a family lived with a killer for twelve days without knowing it, how the bloodstains on the door frame contradicted the identical testimonies of Nathan and Shauna, and why a hardware store receipt from February 20 revealed the premeditation that the initial confession tried to hide. What do the deleted messages show about the true motive? Victim: Becky Watts Date: February 19, 2015 Location: Bristol, England Status: Convicted - Nathan Matthews (life imprisonment, minimum 33 years); Shauna Hoare (17 years in prison) - Nathan bought a circular saw, gloves, and a mask on February 20, hours after the crime, captured on security camera. - The bathtub was spotless in a chaotic house; Shauna's fingerprints appeared on the body bags, refuting her defense of total ignorance. - Two identical testimonies, word for word, with no contact between Nathan and Shauna during interrogation suggest a rehearsed account. - A friend of Becky revealed in court that the teenager had told two years earlier that Nathan described plans on how to kill her; it was never reported.
