Murderer Chris Watts could have divorced his wife. He could have moved on to the bachelor existence he was hiding from her in the months before her 2018 death.
Instead, he strangled her in their home and smothered their preschool-aged daughters Bella and Celeste.
It defied logic and it was cruel beyond imagination.
In the final episode of this series, Crime Desk reporter Rachel Sharp joins Kayla Brantley to break down her reporting on Chris Watts’s possible thinking. Rachel spoke to forensic psychologist Dr.Gary Brucato and behavior analyst Scott Rouse to better understand Watts’s behaviors before and after he killed his family.
