NEW CHRIS WATTS TEXTS REVEALED

-

Anewly released video has revealed that family killer Chris Watts sent his mistress texts denying the murder. Nichol Kessinger was questioned by police after admitting being in a relationsh­ip with Watts, who she met through work. She said she was unaware that he was still married to wife Shanann, who was expecting another baby. The couple had daughters Bella, four, and Celeste, three. Watts murdered all three of them on 13 August 2018, disposing of their bodies at an oil site where he had been working. In the new three-hour video, which was released on Youtube, Nichol is seen telling law enforcemen­t officers that Watts had lied to her about his marital status. “There were several discussion­s we had about his current relationsh­ip and where it had gone,” she says. “He talked about his kids from time to time. But the thing was that he was never hostile. It was never anything aggressive. It was still very kind. He was just like, ‘This is not working’.” After Watts murdered his family, he told police and reporters he had no idea where they were, and even appealed for them to come home. Nichol said Watts then sent her texts denying harming them. She revealed, “I texted Chris and I told him, ‘If you did anything bad, you’re going to ruin your life and you’re going to ruin my life. I promise you that.’ And he responded, ‘I didn’t hurt my family, Nicky.’ That was the last text. I never said another word to him after that.” Watts took a plea deal to avoid the death penalty,and is serving five life sentences without the possibilit­y of parole.
