The life that Chris and Shannan Watts had was slipping
away.
The doting wife and mom fought to keep her family together. The
couple was expecting another child — a son, Nico — and they had
two happy and energetic little girls already.
As Shannan tried to keep her family together, her anxiety and
fears intensified. Her husband had been acting strangely. She
suspected an affair but he denied it as he went through the
motions of his life as a suburban husband and father.
In actuality, Chris Watts had become a stranger.
This installment of The Trial: USA’s special series on Chris
Watts explores his life of cheating, dating app activity and
fabrications leading up to the point where he murdered his entire
family on Aug. 13, 2018 — nearly eight years ago.
The couple’s children, Bella, 4, and Celeste, 3, became victims
in one of the most heartbreaking and inexplicable domestic crimes
in recent memory.
Along with their mother, the girls were callously killed by Chris
Watts, who by all accounts has exhibited no remorse since it
happened. Their remains were dumped in industrial oil tanks at a
site belonging to Watts’s company. Shannan was discarded in a
surrounding field.
You’ll hear from our interview with Amanda McMahon, who said she
met Watts on Tinder and carried on a casual relationship with him
for months beginning the spring of 2017.
We also explore his steamy romance with Nichol Kessinger, a
co-worker who Watts was enamored with in the lead up to the
killings.
The Trial: USA’s Kayla Brantley dives deep into Chris Watts’s
sordid hidden life before he annihilated his family, joined by
Crime Desk reporters Luke Kenton, Steve Helling and Rachel Sharp.
