Pregnant woman, 2 daughters reported missing in Frederick

On Wednesday morning, the FBI and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation were brought in to assist with the investigation.

A close friend said she dropped off Watts at home about 2 a.m. Monday when they got home from a work trip. She saw her go inside. She said the two friends were supposed to meet later in the day, but Watts didn't answer her phone.

“I called her and texted her several times," Watts' friend said. "I knew she had a doctor's appointment that morning because she’s pregnant. She didn’t show up for it … and I was even more concerned." Watts' friend said she called police on Monday and walked through the house with officers as they did a welfare check.

Police confirm the behavior is out of character and that's why they're concerned. They searched the neighborhood with K-9s and officers most of the day.
