Scorched Earth: Chris Watts and the Family Annihilator

In the summer of 2018, the whole country was riveted to the story
of a young, pregnant mom named Shan’ann Watts. Shan’ann and her two
little daughters, Bella and Cece, went missing from their
comfortable Colorado home one morning. And as the story unfolded,
it became increasingly obvious that Shan’ann’s husband Chris was
responsible for their disappearance. As bad as we all thought it
might be at the time, we had no idea how bad it really was. Turned
out, Chris had murdered his wife and two daughters, in pretty much
the most appalling way imaginable. The Chris Watts case has been a
national obsession ever since, but Chris is by no means the only
example of this kind of horror. There have been many others, and
sadly, there will probably be many more. And when we start to
unravel these cases, a chilling pattern begins to emerge. What
could possibly motivate a person to murder their whole
family?
