Murders by Chris Watts of his wife and daughters in Colorado in 2018
POPULARITY
In this episode of Profiling Evil, I sit down with clinical and forensic psychologist Dr. Joni Johnston to examine why some women pursue relationships with men responsible for notorious killings. We begin with Chris Watts, who is serving life without parole for murdering his pregnant wife, Shanann Watts, their daughters, Bella and Celeste, and their unborn son, Nico. With reports that Watts may now want to marry a woman who has repeatedly visited him in prison, we discuss what someone may gain from a relationship built around distance, controlled contact and the belief that she alone understands the man behind the crime.Dr. Johnston explains the limited research surrounding hybristophilia, the term commonly used for attraction to people who commit serious crimes. We discuss rescue fantasies, religious redemption, the desire to feel uniquely important, denial of overwhelming evidence and the emotional appeal of a relationship in which everyday responsibilities are largely absent. We also examine how an incarcerated offender can create intimacy through letters, telephone calls and carefully controlled stories while the person outside supplies money, attention, loyalty and a connection to the free world.We compare Watts with Richard Ramirez, the Night Stalker, who received attention from numerous women while awaiting execution and eventually married Doreen Lioy. Her refusal to accept the evidence against him lasted for years before DNA linked Ramirez to the killing of nine-year-old Mei Leung. We also discuss Luigi Mangione and the public support, romantic attention and substantial defense contributions he received after the killing of UnitedHealthcare executive Brian Thompson. Mangione has now pleaded guilty to two federal stalking charges resulting in Thompson's death and admitted in court that he shot him; the separate New York murder prosecution is currently being challenged by his attorneys. (Associated Press)This conversation is not about assuming that every person who writes to an inmate has the same motivation. It is about understanding the different psychological needs that can make these relationships attractive, the ways imprisoned offenders may groom or manipulate people outside and the difference between a sincere claim of change and years of accountable behavior. Dr. Johnston also explains why intelligence, professional training or previous relationship experience does not necessarily protect someone from emotional manipulation.I want to hear what you think. Should Chris Watts be permitted to marry while serving life for killing Shanann, Bella, Celeste and Nico? Is a prison relationship evidence of love, a rescue effort, a redemption story or something the offender has carefully constructed?#ChrisWatts #ShanannWatts #BellaWatts #CelesteWatts #NicoWatts #LuigiMangione #BrianThompson #RichardRamirez #JoniJohnston #JennieVincow #DayleOkazaki #TsaiLianYu #VincentZazzara #MaxineZazzara #WilliamDoi #MabelBell #MaryLouiseCannon #JoyceLucilleNelson #MaxonKneiding #LelaKneiding #ChainarongKhovananth #ElyasAbowath #PeterPan #MeiLeung #TrueCrime #ForensicPsychology #PrisonRelationships #PrisonGrooming #Hybristophilia #LoveBehindBars #VictimAdvocacy #ProfilingEvil========================================20% OFF Newspapers.comhttps://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26========================================Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVILReferral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL========================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================
A woman from Cleveland moved to Wisconsin, took the surname of Watts – a man serving five life sentences for killing his entire family – and filed to marry him. Women have been doing this for well over a century, and the ones who later walked away have almost never been asked why.BOOK: “They Told Me My Newborn Died – They Lied” by Darren Marlar: https://amzn.to/4ihvu3kEPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/wattsandlizzieREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yzmw3jdnThis episode includes references to suicide and to the deaths of children.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: August 19, 2026This episode of Weird Darkness covers the marriage application Chris Watts filed from a Wisconsin prison eight years after murdering his pregnant wife and their two young daughters, and the long record of women who write to, visit and marry men who will never get out.It opens at Dodge Correctional Institution in Waupun, Wisconsin, where an inmate may touch a visitor twice, once at the start of a visit and once at the end, an embrace reporting puts at roughly ten seconds. On August 12th, 2026 the Daily Mail reported that Chris Watts, 41, and a 39-year-old Cleveland realtor named Lizzie Henderson had applied to marry inside the Wisconsin prison system. Lizzie had moved from Ohio to Wisconsin with her mother, filed a sealed petition for a confidential name change on September 12th, 2025, and appeared in prison visitor logs roughly twenty times during 2025, plus a visit on Christmas Day of 2024. Wisconsin handles these requests under policy 309.00.06, PIOC Marriages, which routes the application through a marriage coordinator and leaves the decision with the warden. No ceremony or license has been documented, and Watts has no projected release date.From there the episode goes back to the family. The Watts family doorbell camera recorded Shanann Watts arriving home at 1:48 in the morning on August 13th, 2018 at 2825 Saratoga Trail in Frederick, Colorado. She was 34 and fifteen weeks pregnant with a son the couple had named Nico, raising daughters Bella, four, and Celeste, three, and selling Thrive for Le-Vel while her husband worked for Anadarko Petroleum and carried on an affair with co-worker Nichol Kessinger. Watts failed a polygraph administered by Colorado Bureau of Investigation agent Tammy Lee, blamed Shanann for the girls' deaths, then retracted it. A drone over an Anadarko site called CERVI 319 found Shanann in a shallow grave and both girls submerged in crude oil inside storage tanks with eight-inch hatches. Judge Marcelo Kopcow sentenced him on November 19th, 2018 to five life sentences plus 84 years. In a February 2019 interview at Waupun, Watts described smothering Celeste in his truck while Bella sat beside her, and hearing Bella's last two words, "Daddy, no!", every time he closes his eyes.The second half opens in the autumn of 1921, when French railways ran extra trains to Versailles for the trial of Henri Désiré Landru, a furniture dealer who placed lonely-hearts advertisements in Paris newspapers and murdered eleven people. Women mailed him proposals of marriage while he awaited the guillotine. The modern version runs through Meet-An-Inmate, launched in 1998, and WriteAPrisoner, founded by Adam Lovell in 2000, which post profiles written on paper because American prisons allow no internet access; Susan Smith drew more than six thousand letters before pulling her listing in 2003. Hybristophilia, the term journalists reach for, was coined by sexologist John Money in 1986 and has never appeared in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual. Sheila Isenberg's Women Who Love Men Who Kill, forensic psychologist Katherine Ramsland's "perfect boyfriend" model, and sociologist Megan Comfort's San Quentin fieldwork in Doing Time Together supply what the women themselves say they are getting.Two 2025 studies found that actively seeking out romanticizing TikTok content correlated with attraction while passive exposure predicted nothing. The risk is documented in the killings of Regina Capobianco and John Mann by her pen pal Thomas Knuff in Parma Heights, Ohio, and in the strangling deaths of Stephanie Dowells and Tania Thomas during family visits at Mule Creek State Prison. The marriages run from Nina Van Zandt, who married Haymarket defendant August Spies by proxy in 1887 and may have married an innocent man, through Ted Bundy and Carole Ann Boone, Doreen Lioy and Richard Ramirez at San Quentin, the Twinkie that served as Erik Menendez and Tammi Saccoman's wedding cake, and James Whitehouse, who wrote to Susan Atkins in 1985 and went on to Harvard Law School to serve as her attorney. All of it rests on Turner v. Safley, the 1987 Supreme Court decision in which Justice Sandra Day O'Connor noted that most inmates are eventually released, leaving the man who never will be an untested case. Rhode Island's 1909 civil death statute declared lifers "dead in all respects", and Britain barred whole-life prisoners from marrying in 2024 after Milly Dowler's murderer Levi Bellfield was granted permission.The episode closes on the women who leave, absent from every study in the field. Lynn Hartman ended her engagement to Steven Avery in October of 2016 and wrote that she had been fooled by the Netflix documentary. Paula Williamson married Charles Bronson at HMP Wakefield in November of 2017, had it annulled in 2019, and died that July at thirty-eight. Anna Eriksson divorced Lyle Menendez in 2001 and still argues for his release. No agency counts prison marriages, and every figure circulating online is unsourced. Chris Watts belongs to a long file rather than a new one, having received his first letters from strangers within weeks of his December 2018 sentencing, before he had written a word to any of them.LIKE WHAT YOU'RE HEARING?

Colorado, agosto 2018 – Una donna di nome Shanann Watts e le sue due figlie scompaiono nel nulla. A lanciare l'allarme sono amici e vicini, insospettiti da un silenzio improvviso che non sembra appartenere a una famiglia così presente e attiva, soprattutto sui social. Nelle ore successive, il marito Chris Watts si espone pubblicamente, rilascia interviste e lancia appelli accorati per il loro ritorno, mentre l'intero Paese segue con attenzione il caso. Ma dietro quell'immagine di normalità iniziano presto ad emergere crepe profonde. Le indagini si concentrano rapidamente proprio su Chris, tra incongruenze, movimenti sospetti e un comportamento che, col passare delle ore, appare sempre più difficile da spiegare. Nel giro di pochi giorni, la verità prende una piega drammatica, trasformando una semplice sparizione in uno dei casi di cronaca nera più sconvolgenti degli ultimi anni. Ma chi è davvero Chris Watts? E cosa si cela dietro la sua apparente facciata da buon padre di famiglia? Proviamo a scoprirlo insieme a Luca Mastinu ed Anna Chiara Desole: esperti di cronaca nera ed autori del podcast “Stoner”.

When thirty-four-year-old Shanann Watts missed a doctor's appointment on August 13, 2018, her friends reported her missing to the Frederick, Colorado Police. When officers searched the home, they found Shanann's car parked in the garage and her belongings—including her wallet, cell phone, and medication—were found in various spots around the house, but there was no sign of Shanann or the couple's two children anywhere. The next day, the FBI opened an investigation into the disappearance of Shanann, Bella and Celeste and Chris took to local television to give one of the most infamous and suspicious interviews of all time. He asked anyone with information about their whereabouts to come forward. The very next day however, Chris failed a polygraph exam and eventually confessed to murdering his wife, but he initially denied killing their children.

Crazy Chris Watts Blames Blames Wife, Mistress, and “Temptation” For Taking Out His Family Convicted family murderer Chris Watts continues to deflect blame for the brutal 2018 killings of his pregnant wife and two young daughters, according to disturbing jailhouse letters obtained by Knewz.com. In a series of handwritten messages from behind bars, Watts shifts responsibility to his late wife Shanann, his former mistress, and even spiritual temptation—while continuing to describe himself as a "good man." Watts, now 39, is serving multiple life sentences without parole at Dodge Correctional Institution in Wisconsin for the murders of Shanann Watts, 34, and their daughters, Bella, 4, and Celeste, 3. The horrific killings gripped the nation in August 2018, when Watts initially pretended to be a grieving husband and father during media appearances, only to later confess to the crimes after being confronted with damning evidence. But in letters written to acquaintances, friends, and even addressed to God, Watts portrays himself as a victim of circumstances. He calls Shanann a “control freak” who, he claims, ignored his emotional needs and drove him into an affair with co-worker Nichol Kessinger. Kessinger is also vilified in the letters, which Watts uses to describe her as a “harlot” and “evil woman” who lured him with “flattering speech” and “lust in her eyes and flesh.” Despite these deflections, Watts offers little genuine remorse, even referring to himself as “still a good man” led astray. A source close to the case called the letters "a masterclass in manipulation, self-pity, and blame-shifting." “Instead of owning the unimaginable crimes he committed, Watts casts himself as a weak, misguided soul corrupted by others,” the source said. “Chris Watts is not a victim. He is a calculating killer who refuses to take full responsibility—even now.” Watts' deception began almost immediately after the murders. On the day his family was reported missing, he gave emotional interviews on local news, pleading for their safe return. Behind the scenes, however, law enforcement uncovered surveillance footage of him loading his family's bodies into his truck. He later confessed that, in the early hours of August 13, 2018, he strangled Shanann in their home while she was still pregnant with their son. He then drove their daughters to the oil site where he worked, smothering each one before hiding their bodies in oil tanks and burying Shanann nearby. Watts avoided the death penalty by pleading guilty to five counts of first-degree murder on November 6, 2018. He was sentenced to five life sentences, three to be served consecutively and two concurrently, along with additional time for unlawful termination of a pregnancy and tampering with a deceased body. Despite his continued attempts to revise history and cast blame on others, legal experts and observers say Watts' actions—and his words—continue to reveal a deeply narcissistic and remorseless individual. “He wants the world to see him as someone who was cornered,” the insider added. “But the truth is far more horrifying—he planned this, carried it out, and now, even years later, he's trying to rewrite the story.” Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Exploring the Nicole Kessinger Theory: Involvement in the Watts Family Murders This podcast discusses Nicole Kessinger's potential involvement in the Chris Watts family murder case, which includes the tragic death of Shanann Watts and her children, based on numerous suspicious activities and interactions before and after the murders. Presented by attorney Omar Serrano, he investigates Kessinger's conflicting statements, suspicious internet searches, phone call behavior, and the mystery of a specific cell tower ping. The podcast also discussed her awareness of the family's financial status and circumstances. Serrano's analysis poses questions over methods prosecutors should or could have used, and remains open-ended due to the speculative nature of the evidence. The podcast ends with an invitation for listeners with family law issues to contact the hosts.

The Chris Watts case is a notorious criminal case that gained widespread media attention in 2018. Chris Watts was a seemingly ordinary family man living in Frederick, Colorado, with his wife, Shanann Watts, their two young daughters, Bella and Celeste, and baby Nico on the way. The family appeared to be living a typical suburban life, with Chris working at Anadarko Petroleum and Shanann working as a a distributer of THRIVE, a product from an MLM called Le-Vel. Because of this, she frequently shared updates about their life on Facebook, which she was unfortunately harshly criticized about after her death. On August 13, 2018, pregnant Shanann Watts and her two daughters were reported missing by her best friend, Nickole Atkinson. Initially, Chris Watts appeared on Denver 7 News, pleading for their safe return, but being a big weirdo about it. He was such a giggle little creep, and I posted the interview from them. However, as the investigation unfolded, inconsistencies in his statements and behavior raised suspicions. Between his neighbor's interview showing the security footage of Chris clearly being full of crap and Nichol Kessinger coming forward admitting to the affair, things weren't looking good for Christopher Watts. After being subjected to questioning by law enforcement officials, Terry Lee and Agent Coder, Chris Watts eventually confessed to murdering his wife Shanann and their two daughters. He admitted to ending Shanann in a fit of rage after a heated argument and then subsequently their two daughters. (I also posted the confession interrogation as well, sooo….) Tragically, the bodies of Shanann, Bella, and Celeste were found on the property of an oil company where Chris Watts worked. Shanann's body was buried in a shallow grave, while the bodies of the two girls were found submerged in oil tanks. Is Chris Watts innocent? Why would he do this? Is he just a narcissist? Perhaps a sociopath, or (according to him) because of his mistress Nichol Kessinger? (But, as far as I could find, Nichol and Chris Watts aren't even together anymore, so it's not as if that matters anyway.) Come along, Creepy Crew, this is a Body Cam and interrogation heavy episode about the Chris Watts Case. Comment “narcissist” if you have made it this far. . creepsandcreeps.com .
