Heartbreaking Details Behind Guilty Husband That Sent Shockwaves Across The Country
From the outside, the Watts family appeared to be perfectly healthy suburban role models. In the summer of 2018, Shan’ann, 34, was four months pregnant with her unborn son, and already the mother of two young daughters, Celeste, 3; and Bella, 4. While the female side of the Watts family lived happily in their Colorado home that summer, 33-year-old Chris Watts had plans of his own, something no one outside of the immediate family expected.
Southern Meeting
Before the Watts’ lived 30 miles north of Denver in Frederick, Colorado, Chris and Shan’ann met in North Carolina. “I got a friend request from Chris on Facebook,” Shan’ann said in a Facebook video. “I was like, ‘What the heck? I’m never going to meet him.’”
Next Phase
“One thing led to another and eight years later, we have two kids, we live in Colorado, and he’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me,” Shan’ann said. The couple was married in Charlotte, North Carolina, and on December 17, 2013, their daughter Bella was born.
Heading West
Chris and Shan’ann suffered a major financial loss and filed for bankruptcy in June 2015, and the next month, on July 17th, their daughter Celeste was born. For the next few years, the Watts parents focused on raising their children and growing their careers, eventually moving to Frederick, Colorado.
Colorado Life
In Frederick, they were both working parents. Chris worked at Anadarko Petroleum as an operator and Shan’ann worked at Le-Vel, a nutrition supplement company. Shan’ann loved posting about her daughters on Facebook and was a devoted mother. Though she was busy from Le-Vel, she made time for her girls.
