    Four Year Anniversary

    Four Year Anniversary

    It's now been 4 years since that dreaded morning. Like all terrible true crime tales one can wonder how things might have been averted. Was this just inevitable or was there something that could have stopped the Titanic from hitting the iceberg? One wonders how this lovely picture perfect family fell so far so fast and whether this was going to happen no matter what. In this episode I explore some of the what ifs and how things might have potentially gone differently under different circumstances.

    Wattsup Giveaway

    Join the Wattsup giveaway. Very interested in your theories about the million dollar question; why on earth did Chris (or would anyone for that matter) kill their own children??? It is instinctual to protect our offspring. So what on earth could have caused this to go completely haywire? I have received several very interesting theories so far. Please keep them coming. Deadline to submit your theory is November 30th. After this I will choose one person at random and give them a prize. I also hope to invite a few onto a live zoom on the podcast to discuss further.

Eloquent

Eloquent and insightful. The only part I disagree with is that this could have been a
momentary crime of passion. It wasn’t momentary, you can snap and kill someone in a rage and freak out, that’s a crime of passion. You don’t plan it for weeks, tell yourself you’re ready to kill your children, do this whilst you are having a particularly intense affair that drives you to desperately want fervent love. I do believe that he snapped - big style, but there were underlying issues and inabilities to control his emotions and behaviour that he suppressed. It simmered in the stress. I think the hardest part for me to understand is he did these vile things because he genuinely believed that what he would risk (going to jail) was a fair enough choice to make if it meant being with his mistress. I personally think he was in the basement preparing body disposal items. The fact he wrapped Shannan’s hands up and had various bin bags to hand, and possibly Oxycodone which was stored in the garage, shows a high degree of pre-meditation.

Fascinating journey through the Watts case

Really enjoyed these podcasts, content is really in depth. Binged all the episodes on long walks , then felt like I’d lost a good friend when I’d finished ...fantastic that new ones come out frequently though (phew!!) This is a fantastic and fascinating insight into the Watts case. Thank you.
