Kim's Counternarrative (Chris Innocent??? Get OUT!)

More details about Kim Kaufman's counternarrative she has tried to circulate claiming that Chris was railroaded. Although this makes you want to scream its hard to completely 100% look away. No matter how ludicrous, immoral or wrong you still think hmmm, maybe???

Chris Found God

Chris talks about how he's found God in prison and the prison found Chris's underwear in another mans cell.

Nicole Atkinson

Of the 2 Nicoles in this story THIS is the Nicole we wished we had on our side. Her strong intuition and loyalty to her good friend Shanann was the KEY to getting this investigation kicked off almost IMMEDIATELY after the crime. Chris had ZERO time to cover his tracks. She rocked it!

shanann arrives at 2am

We can ALL see her enter this house of horrors. We KNOW what is waiting for her. All you can think is how you want to scream DON'T GO INSIDE!!!!

Nutgate

Shannann's visit to her inlaws was a total disaster. Her mother in law had not taken the mandated precautions to protect Shananns kids from foods that would trigger their deadly allergies. Ironic. This triggered a massive fight and continued division within the families which some say was the final nail in the coffin.

Burying Bodies

Because of Shanann's delayed flight Chris had virtually no time and needed to get rid of 3 bodies. Did he dig this shallow grave THAT morning or did he do this beforehand?

Nate, the Helpful Neighbor

Like Nicole Atkinson Nate was integral to this case. It was HIS security camera footage which also captured the Watt's driveway and him loading his truck that morning that ultimately sealed Chris's fate.

Down the Rabbit Hole, How I got Sucked In!!!

I would not call myself a True Crime afficionado. But there was something about this story that sucked me in. Everything about it flies in the face of conventional wisdom. It defies the laws of logic and reason. It is a reality show murder with no clearcut answers explaning why.

Did Nicole Atkinson Know???

Nicole Atkinson was with Shanann all weekend. Did she know/did Shanann tell her their marriage was falling apart? Did she suspect it may even be unsafe for Shanann to go home that night. Is this why she was so alarmed that she called the police to check on her friend only after being out of touch a few hours?

Chicken and Egg Part 2

Shanann and her mother in law, Cindy had a contentious relationship from the start. Each conflict between them if viewed from Shanann's point of view paints Cindy as a villain. If seen from Cindy's point of view Shanann was the villain. Is the good guy and bad guy ever as black and white/clear cut as we see in movies or are there 50 shades of grey?

Saucer of Milk Table 2

Cindy and Shanan's relationship was a key driver of this story. It was almost like two dogs fighting over a bone (the bone, or bonehead being Chris). If not for their perpetual catfights it may not have been an 8 year grudge match where Chris had to decide where his loyalty was.

True Crime, Social Media and Our Fixation With It

What makes us so fixated on stories like these? Why are we so fascinated by tragedy? This story is sort of the marriage between our fascination with reality shows, social media and true crime.

Compassion for Cindy (Chris's Mom)

People want to believe that there are ONLY good guys and bad guys. No in between. Though people want to paint Cindy as the evil puppeteer who pulled Chris's strings and "created a monster"she too suffered a devastating loss. Like her or hate her is she worthy of compassion?

The Credit Card receipt (Lazy Dog)

Chris knew Shanann monitored their credit card alerts and would SEE that he spent over 60 dollars on dinner. He knew she'd do the math and realize something was UP! He knew she'd see it and this would be the smoking gun. He could have paid cash, but sent a deliberate message to his wife gaslighting her.

All My Broken Pieces, Cindy's POV

Cindy, Chris's mom wrote a book (allegedly) and tells HER point of view and how it was NOT Chris who was the bad guy, but Shanann! Does she have a point??? Too soon????

Cindy's Sorry NOT Sorry Statement

Cindy reads a "victims impact statement" where it seems the key objective is letting her precious son know that he's completely forgiven, regardless. A member of Chris's legal team, Jean Powers also reads a statement claiming the Watts family acknowledged his guilt. But Cindy claims this was all fake news and she NEVER acknowledged this.

Chris's Police Interviews and his Nuts Behavior

101 How to behave after killing your family so you don't look guilty?? I don't know if Chris thought to play it cool, try and act distraught or frantic or HOW he could make it SEEM as though he had nothing to do with it.
