The gruesome story of Chris Watts, who killed his pregnant wife Shanann, and daughters, Bella and Celeste, is still the subject of numerous rumors and speculation. A recent theory that has emerged on the Internet suggests the murders were motivated by Shanann's allegedly controlling nature. The killer is currently held at the high-security Dodge Correctional Institution in Waupun, Wisconsin.
The Colorado oil worker, now 37, murdered his wife, Shanann, who was 15 weeks pregnant, along with his two daughters aged three and four on August 13, 2018. Watts, who had initially reported them missing and had made a public plea for their return, was arrested as he admitted to killing them. It was later discovered that Watts had an affair with a co-worker at the oil company. He dumped the bodies of his children in two oil tankers, where he worked. The bodies were found four days later. Shanann’s body was recovered from a shallow grave near the tankers.
