Was NK Jealous of Shanann?

Shanann and NK could NOT be more different. One was glamorous, while the other was outdoorsy and seemingly unconcerned with trivial things like material goods. Chris found both women very appealing for different reasons. While NK seemed to project confidence was she simply jealous of Shanann?

Whats in Shananns car?

Chris HAD to get into Shannan's Lexus even BEFORE he went into his house to pretend he was looking for his wife. WHAT was in her car? Why was it SOOOOO urgent that he made this TOP priority to do this immediately upon arriving home??? He did this in full view of the police though no one SAW what he retrieved from the car. What was it and why did he feel this above all else was something he simply HAD TO DO????

How Did Sandi Rzucek, Shanann's Mom KNOW???

Both Sandi Rzucek and Nicole Atkinson both seemed to have a very strong intuition that something criminal had happened. HOW did they know this? Was it just mothers intuition or a friend being a great friend???

Since day 1 people have insisted NK was not only involved, but was the mastermind, was there that night and made sure this all went down. Fact or fiction?

Shananns Final Letter to Chris

Shanann saw the writing on the wall. She suspected an affair, but was 15 weeks pregnant and did NOT want her marriage to crumble. She would do anything to save it and tried desperately to get through to him, but sadly he had already decided he was done and the wheels were in motion.

Was Chris Possessed????

Chris actually said to he woke up that morning that something had been implanted, like he just knew it was going to happen and there was nothing he could have done to stop it from happening. Is this POSSIBLE??? As nuts as it sounds he genuinely appeared to not just love but absoutely adore his kids. So was he just faking all of that??? Even if was a bad drug trip, or roid rage, or whatever is it impossible to fathom that something had taken OVER him???

The Doll

Chris tried very hard to maintain that these murders were spontaneous and the result of rage triggered by witnessing Shanann murder his beloved children. But there are multiple examples of things that debunk this claim, one of THEE most peculiar is a photo of a doll that Chris texted Shanann which appeared to be an image of a female corpse with a sheet over it. Was this a sick joke or a warning?

Nick and Amanda Thayer

While most people in the Watts orbit abandoned Chris early on, his friends Nick and Amanda Thayer faithfully stood by Chris and supported him. They just could NOT believe that the Chris they knew all that time was a killer. They were convinced it was just fake news and Chris was getting a raw deal. They even had him stay overnight in their house where their young daughter, who was good friends with Bella and Cece lived. This is how much they trusted him. Too sad for them and all involved.

NKs shady behavior

Nicole Kessinger deleted all of her text messages, was on the phone with Chris 111 mintes the night of the murders but doesn't remember what they talked about for almost 2 hours and her phone pinged in Frederick, CO (where Chris lived) at 6:16am. Conspiracy or no is really THAT hard to imagine she had at least a slight involvement???

"The Dream Team"

A woman named Kim has surfaced to do what she can to widely spread a counternarrative making the claim that Chris's original confession was the TRUE confession (that Shanann killed the kids, NOT Chris). She is not a lawyer, not a detective, but has aligned herself with the Watts family and done her best to circulate this OTHER story, the supposed REAL story (brought to you by the folks who also want to help OJ find "the real killers".

The Infamous Letter

Chris supposedly a letter via snail mail to his family claiming "I would never hurt myself or the girls. If anything were to happen to us please investigate my wife" and dates it August 6th, 2018, 1 week before the murders. According to his family this letter backs up the idea that Chris was railroaded and this letter proves that Shanann was real killer.

What Bella Saw (Occam's Razor)

Occam's razor. The simplest explanation is usually the right one. Bella saw Chris wrapping her dead mother in a sheet. Could it simply BE that Chris had not initially intended to kill the kids, but there was just no way for poor Bella to UNsee what she saw so she was collateral damage?

was NK involved???

Either A. Nicole Kessinger simply is THEE most unlucky in love woman in history OR B. she was at least somehow involved. Which is it???

Daddy It Smells

One of the most gruesome details (of many!!!) is how Bella commented to Chris on the ride to Cervi 319 how she smelled something foul. Was she smelling a skunk or could this been the scent of her own recently deceased mother??? Ughhh. Poor baby.
