Killer Dad Chris Watts Tells All About His Murders and His Mistress
[...]
Watts told police he wishes he could speak to Kessinger “just once” to say “I’m sorry this all happened.” He wondered if she had to seek counseling and leave everything behind. He told the cops that his attorney tried to call her once but she didn’t answer.
Asked if he loved Kessinger, Watts replied, “I felt like it was true.”
Throughout July, while Shanann and the kids visited family in North Carolina, Watts lived out a fantasy with Kessinger. “Every time I would open up my phone, I would see my wife and kids and think, ‘What are you doing?’ And every time I was with [Kessinger], I didn’t think. It was like a blinder was in my face,” Watts said.
Whenever Shanann called her husband, he was at Kessinger’s home. Indeed, Watts said he slept at Kessinger’s house that entire month. “I wish I had met her at work and just kept it that way,” Watts said.
[...]
With Kessinger, Watts felt “more in control” and that they had an equal partnership. “She actually asked my opinion on a lot of things, what I wanted to do,” Watts continued. “I was just kind of like… OK.” It was “very new” for him, he said.
“Anything new feels better than the old,” Watts told police.
[...]
“I feel like it was just an anger with Shanann, with everything, that I was just taking it out on everybody that was in front of me that morning,” Watts said.
But when an investigator asked, “What were you so angry with Shanann about?” Watts didn’t have an exact answer. “Nothing that makes anybody want to do this,” he said. “You can be angry at your spouse your whole life, but you should never do anything like this.”
“I’d never been angry before, and this was like the epitome of being angry… the epitome of losing your mind.”
[...]
“[Nikki] had her moments where I had to talk her off a ledge,” Watts said, adding, “She would get worked up about nothing.”
Shanann called Watts 10 times on the morning of July 4, while he was staying at Kessinger’s home. Shanann was angry because she couldn’t get ahold of her husband. So Watts rushed home to speak with his wife, and connected with Kessinger later. Kessinger said she “realized she’d always be second fiddle,” Watts said.
[...]
Kessinger didn’t know Shanann was pregnant. According to Watts, his mistress once told him, “I’d like to give you a son.”
[...]
On Aug. 14, Kessinger seemed to suspect something was amiss. She began asking odd questions that only he knew the answers to—such as his dog’s name and the name of his yoga studio—so she could confirm it was really him on the phone. That day, she’d also met with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, unbeknownst to him.
“This is the last time you’ll probably hear from me,” Kessinger told him. “I’m going to stay at my friend’s place while this is going on.”
“She told me to delete everything. I didn’t delete everything. I’m not sure why I didn’t delete everything but it probably helped you guys out,” Watts told the investigators.
[...]
In prison, Watts sees a therapist once a month. He’s declined all psych meds, while most people on his unit take them. “You don’t take anything?” one investigator asked. “No,” Watts replied, adding that he’s on a special management unit away from the general population. “They just keep me in there until the security adviser says I can get moved to GP down the hall.”
[...]
“I’ve always had a really crazy imagination,” Watts said. He said he once convinced an elementary school teacher that he’d gone to China one summer vacation. “She actually believed it. I was really convincing,” Watts added.
[...]
“It’s just weird how emotions process differently for me than everyone else …. The process is different for me. I never knew why, never know why.”
Watts added, “I don’t want to think I’m a cold-hearted person. I just don’t show emotion as much as other people do.”
Police asked if the murders were a result of him bottling things up for so long.
“Definitely,” Watts replied.
