Found Deceased CO - Shanann Watts (34), Celeste"Cece" (3) and Bella (4), Frederick, 13 Aug 2018 *CW GUILTY* #54

[zea mays]

This is the same letter that his legal team supposedly destroyed, inciting the ire of the infamous pod casters and CWs folks?
It has now risen from the ashes for public consumption?
And is even more incriminating than it originally seemed to be?

Why?

Yes to all. I'm assuming to stay relevant and prove they did have actual sources.

If that letter is truth, it should have raised massive red flags - either that he was at risk, or that he was unstable, and someone should have done something. Not that I blame anyone else for this sorry mess, but I wonder if things would be different if his family had taken the letter to the police?

The story I recall was that it was sealed in an envelope and his family was instructed to open only if something happened.

 

[Amonet]

I didn't see anger, either. I also saw fear.

I saw self-loathing.

 

[pocketaccent]

It's very short and appears consistent with his handwriting. It simply says "To Whom it may concern, If anyone gets this letter, I would never do anything to hurt myself or my children or my wife. If anything happens to me, please investigate my wife. Chris Watts"

So significant, that even in this letter he comes first.

ETA - it was dated 8/6/18

The letter sounds Illogical, weird, and awkward, just like his interviews.

He might as well have said - If anything happens to my wife and children, arrest me.

 

[Chloe_ee]

Escaping all responsibility? Just trying to think of why he would do this if there is even an explanation for it.

Freedom...he wanted a complete out. A new start, but embolden by getting away with it the first time, he would have wanted out of another relationship, maybe with more kids and CW probably would have ended up killing the next wife, like Drew Peterson...he's that sick. Even Drew P didn't kill his children.

 

[Thepoet]

Justice has been done!

CW will now dis appear into the "belly of the beast" where he will live until he dies! No hope, no dreams, only passing time. He will be a target for a long time, because he is perceived as a celebrity (not the good kind) and because of what he did to his daughters. Maybe even by the guards. Guards do kill inmates.

I believe the Rzuceks family will heal and move forward, because of their strength and dignity, but their lives are damaged. I pray. in time, some happiness will return to them.

I hope the Watts family will heal and move forward. They will need to stop blaming others to do so.

Finally I hope all those that posted nonsense about; "SW did it", "CW was protecting SW", "it was a respectful burial", etc., will think about their words and motives, especially in regards to what we learned today!

The DA and LE did a magnificent job.
Special Kudos to NUA, NK, and the Thayers for courage and strength.

His body language was that of a broken, embarrassed, and fearful man.

He was slumped over, and he looked like he hadn’t slept. Juxtaposed with his porch interviews, this was a very different man.

I saw his face and upper body trembling. It wasn’t the shaking from someone bouncing their leg up and down, which is more pronounced and slower.

His body language was what I was hoping to see, but I really thought he’d speak.

He was definitely bouncing his left leg up & down. Denver 7 zoomed in on it.

 

[kizzykat]

I watched CW the entire time his mom and dad gave statements and I never saw one tear. He never looked up. The camera moves away from him a few times so maybe in those few moments he dropped a tear but I seen none.

The only time I saw CW look up was when his mom had finished speaking and the woman rep (atty?) said she would be reading CW's dad's statement on his behalf. That's the moment CW looked up at his dad (who remained facing the judge & did not turn to look back at his son). I swear I saw a flash of a questioning look in CW's eyes, much like how a kid looks at their parent when they think they might have disappointed them. It's the only genuine emotion I saw this guy show. This is strictly my interpretation, I'd be curious what others saw in CW's eyes at that moment.

 

[tmar]

IMO he had a lot of NERVE to have his rep say he was "devastated" - yeah, devastated his own life is over and the world knows the truth about him. IMO

I am pleased, when asked if he has anything to state, CW says "No Sir".
There is nothing to add from this creep.
MOO.

 

[Doghairrules]

I think so. I think if she were awake, she would have fought back, no matter how tired she was or if she wasn't feeling well.

But wouldn’t she have woken up at some point? I’m wondering if he drugged her or something first, although I assume they checked for that.

 

[MassGuy]

He was definitely bouncing his left leg up & down. Denver 7 zoomed in on it.

I know. But that wasn’t the trembling.

There’s a difference between bouncing, and the small, rapid shakes of someone who is trembling.

Honestly, I don't think ill of the Watts family for saying they forgive him. It's such an individual decision and not one I feel comfortable judging. It doesn't surprise me their statement was odd, too. There clearly seems to be some deep-rooted dysfunction in that family dynamic, so it would be stranger to me if the statement they had released was devoid of that. To me, it is enough that they acknowledged their previous interviews were out-of-line and that they now accept he is guilty. The evidence presented briefly in court was overwhelming, and I am sure having it laid out to them was extremely upsetting. I'm glad that they were able to admit that.

It infuriated me last week when they seemed to want to be treated as victims but had no sympathy for the other victims. But I do think they are victims in this, though not victims who have always behaved very well.

 

[Jupiter05]

The DA was absolutely right. Had this been a spontaneous act of rage, Shanann would have born the brunt of a knock-down-drag-out fight.

The fact that she only had strangulation wounds, tells us that she was caught unaware.

She was dead before she ever walked in the door that night.

I have felt from the beginning that CW was lying in wait for her. Attacked her in the loft as soon as she came upstairs and that was why her phone was in the cushions.

 

[kebdal23]

That leg shaking was voluntary, many people do it without thinking when they are nervous. IMO.
What interests me more is his refusal to look at his mother. Because he can't stand to be seen in a negative light, which is why all of this happened in the first place. IMO

 

[kiwilaura]

Yes to all. I'm assuming to stay relevant and prove they did have actual sources.



The story I recall was that it was sealed in an envelope and his family was instructed to open only if something happened.

Yes, but even that should have been concerning. And I fully believe Mama Watts would have opened it, the curiosity would have been too much. She would have been a diary-snooper for sure. MOO

He looked puffy and his beard was unkempt.

Pleased the Judge stated CW's actions were Senseless, Vicious and disposing of the bodies was despicable.
Hope that is broadcast in Prison.

I must have missed it but who specifically did he send the letter to?
