When Shanann returned home around 2 am on Monday, August 13, Watts felt her going to bed and the couple had made love for the last time. But something seemed different.

Watts told investigators on Feb. 18 that his last moment of intimacy with his wife had been felt like a test. Two days earlier, Watts was meeting with his mistress, Nichol Kessinger. He paid for their dinner with a debit card linked to the family's bank account.

"I knew something was wrong," Watts told investigators. "I knew that she knew what I did on Saturday night – going out with someone else, using the credit card, without trying to hide it – that was the last drop. "

Watts woke up later in the morning with the feeling that he was going back from work and that Shanann and the children would not be there or that he would not be allowed to enter. He woke Shanann up so that they could talk.

Watts, for some unknown reason, decided to climb on his wife and rode her while they were talking. He told her that he no longer thought that they were compatible and that he did not think their relationship would continue to work. He asked them if they could cancel a trip that they planned to do together in Aspen.

Watts told the investigators that he and Shanann had talked in circles, the conversation jostling between staying together and separating. At one point, Watts asked him to move to Brighton, get out of their home in Frederick and enjoy a total change of scenery.

They both cried, Watts told investigators. Shanann's pillow became stained with makeup and she did not wash her face when she arrived home earlier in the morning.

The conversation, which lasted about 30 minutes, took a turn when Watts told Shanann that he did not like it anymore. She told him to leave her. Instead, he wrapped his hands around his throat and applied pressure.

"Whenever I think about it, I tell myself," Did I know that I was going to do it before I had it on? " "Watts said." Every time I think about that morning, I think I did not want to do that, but I did it. I just had the impression – I do not want to say that it was as if I had to do it – it was just as if it was the case something is already in my head and I had no control over her. "

Watts told the investigators that one thing he had left since that morning was that his wife had made no effort to defend himself.

"I do not even want to know what she saw when she looked at me," Watts said. "She did not fight.

"It's like at the sentencing hearing, this attorney said it took two to four minutes for something like that to happen. Why could not I just to let me go? "

The interview starts with a bit of casualness. Watts enters the computer room of Wisconsin Prison to find the CBI agent, Tammy Lee, the FBI Special Agent, Grahm Coder, and Police Officer Frederick. Dave Baumhover asks if he remembers them. Coder then established the basic rules regarding the presence of officers and assured Watts that he was still not under investigation.

But Coder told Watts that the three officers had thought hard and talked a lot about him in the months following his August interrogation of the murders. He said that they thought his life before the murders seemed "really interesting" and that they thought Watts was "unique". Coder talked about one of the last things Watts told him, namely an apology for lying about what had happened.

"It's been in the last two months," Coder told Watts. "It resonated in my head. I have never, never worked on a case like this, and no one has ever told me, never.

"By getting away, I thought:" Chris is different, Chris is a little different in this respect. "

The investigators and Watts then briefly discussed the differences between his incarcerations in Colorado and Wisconsin. Watts said his current living situation was much better than before because he was not isolated and allowed to interact with other inmates.

Conversely, while he was staying at Weld County Jail, Watts was in solitary confinement. There was another inmate in the cell next to his, but he never saw it. The prison had to be completely locked so Watts could walk down the hall.

"I was segregated in Colorado, but I had to listen all night long to people pounding the walls to tell me what they wanted to do to me and that I should commit suicide," he said. watts. "People here do not seem, they do not judge you as soon as you enter."

The investigators also spoke to Watts about some of his alleged extramarital affairs, including a possible homosexual relationship with Trent Bolte, a resident of Wyoming. Coder and Lee stated that Bolte had told them that he and Watts had met on a dating app, had had a handful of sexual encounters in Bolte's apartment, with friends of Bolte and an appointment in two remote car parks.

Coder has qualified Bolte of sweet, but also a little flamboyant. He commented on the injections in Bolte's lips and how he had used skincare products and had made up with him during his interview with the investigators. Coder testified that Bolte told them that Watts had already bought him skincare products.

"I have never been to Wyoming, let alone driven there to meet a guy," said Watts, adding that he only knew who Bolte was because one of his lawyers had him showed a picture after the publication of his story in the media.

The investigators also spoke to Watts about a second affair with a woman named Amanda McMahon. McMahon told investigators that she had had sex with Watts only once in the parking lot of a Chick-Fil-A.

But Watts said that this had never happened, confirming that his only extramarital affair was Nichol Kessinger's.
