In November of 2012 Chris Watts married Shanann Rzucek, two years after a chance meeting on Facebook. For the next six years, it seemed that Shanann and Chris had everything they dreamed of, including a large house in Colorado, blossoming careers, and two lovely daughters. In June of 2018, Shanann surprised Chris with news that they would be having a third child. In August of the same year, Chris would brutally murder the pregnant Shanann and his young daughters, Celeste and Bella, after Shanann discovered that Chris was having an affair with another woman. What can drive someone to kill the people that love them the most? What is the nature of so-called “family annihilators” and how are they viewed by law enforcement? Can we ever understand the dark psychology of their motives? Join us as Drs. Micono and Morelos discuss the case of the Watts family murders.
