Details about the brutal murders committed by Christopher Watts are stomach turning.
Authorities in Denver, Colorado have confirmed that Chris Watts used his bare hands to strangle his pregnant wife, Shanann Watts, and their young daughters — Bella, four, and Celeste, 3.
The heinous crimes took place in the family home. The monster father then drove with the three bodies of his wife and daughters to the Anadarko Petroleum oil field where he worked.
Like a scene from Criminal Minds or Hannibal, the deranged man placed the remains of his children inside oil and gas tanks to mask the odor.
Police officers have recovered all three bodies — the children were buried next to each other while the mother was in another location, a shallow grave near an oil tank.
Anadarko Petroleum has confirmed that Chris was fired once he was named a suspect in the horrible case.
Chris has been arrested and charged with three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of tampering with evidence.
Many are upset that Colorado laws will not take into account the fact Shanann was pregnant and charge her husband with four counts of first-degree murder.

This weekend, Shanann, who was about 16 weeks pregnant, was supposed to have a big gender reveal party with her friends and family members by her side.
Joe Beach, a neighbor and friend of the family, said all of this seems senseless and added: “I have no idea why he would kill her, the wife and the two kids. As I said, the two kids were nice kids. I don’t know. To me, it’s a senseless murder, and she was looking forward to that third child because she was pregnant with a boy. Knowing her, knowing the type of person she is, well or I should say she was. I’m very surprised that this happened. And I hate it.”
Shanann was very active on social media and based on her many pictures and videos; she had the perfect family life — another reason why the brutal murders have sent shockwaves.
