Colorado Father Claims Wife Strangled Kids Before He Went On Murderous Rage

Colorado killer Chris Watts claimed to police he “went on a rage” and “ultimately strangled (his wife) Shanann to death” after seeing her strangling their three-year-old daughter, according to the Officer’s affidavit obtained by RadarOnline.com.

But police aren’t buying any of it, and have charged Chris, who was later found to be cheating on his wife, with multiple counts of murder for the deaths of Shannan, her unborn baby, and daughters Bella, 4, and Celeste, 3.

In the explosive new documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, Chris told police that on the night he killed Shannan, he allegedly first walked in on her trying to harm their two young children.

“While in the bedroom, via baby monitor located on Shanann’s nightstand, he observed Bella ‘sprawled out’ on her bed and blue in the face and Shanann actively strangling Celeste,” the arrest affidavit states. That led to Chris’s “rage” and the death of Shanann.

Chris then told the responding officers he “loaded all three bodies onto the back of his truck” and took them to a nearby oil field, where he “buried Shanann near two oil tanks and dumped the girls inside the oil tanks.”

As RadarOnline.com has reported, Chris was officially charged on Monday, Aug. 20 with five counts of first-degree murder, three counts of tampering with a dead body, and one count for the “unlawful termination of his wife's pregnancy.”

Chris gained national attention on Monday Aug. 13, when he made a teary-eyed, televised plea after his pregnant wife and two daughters went mysteriously missing.

He originally claimed that Shanann and the kids had left him, after he told her he wanted to go through with a separation.

But according to the arrest documents, a two-day investigation revealed the bombshell that “Chris was actively involved in an affair with a co-worker, which he denied in previous interviews.”
