Amazon.com: Killer Family Man : The True Story of Chris Watts: A collection of True Crime Stories eBook: Peter Dovet: Kindle Store

Shannan and Chris Watts looked like the perfect couple. She had already proudly posted an ultrasound image of their new child, with whom she was just over three months pregnant, on Facebook. At a party, she would announce the gender of the latest member of the Watts family. It was a boy, and they would call him Nico. The thirty-four-year-old wife, with the good job, the nice home, the terrific kids and the perfect, loving husband really did seem to have it all. But, she didn’t. It certainly seems to be the case that Shanann’s publicly offered feelings were true to her heart, but her husband’s were not. He was a man with many secrets; we are only just beginning to learn the extent of these, and time will help to identify those that are true, and those that have emerged, on shaky ground, from the gossip surrounding the tragic and horrific story which is about to unfold. Because Chris Watts is currently in prison, awaiting trial on a number of charges. Among them, are the first-degr
