Chris Watts who is serving five life sentences for the murders of his two young children and pregnant wife tried to blame it all on his mistress, according to a former inmate who spent time with him in prison. Watts had pleaded guilty to the murder of his pregnant wife Shanann, 34, and daughters 4-year-old Bella and 3-year-old Celeste in Frederick, Colorado, in 2018. He dumped the bodies of Bella and Celeste in oil tanks at a site where he worked and buried Shanann, who was 15 weeks pregnant, in a shallow grave.

Watts, who didn't want another kid, was having an affair with Nichol Kessinger, a woman he had met at work, and wanted to start a new life with her. He had been pretending for some time that he was divorced and separated from his wife, while in reality he was still married to her. David Carter, who spent two stretches in Dodge Correctional Facility, Wisconsin with Watts, told The Sun that Watts tried to blame Kessinger for his daughters' deaths.
