Frederick, Colorado (WTVD) -- A Colorado man has been arrested after allegedly confessing to killing his pregnant wife and two daughters.
According to ABC affiliate KMGH, law enforcement officials said 33-year-old Christopher Watts confessed to killing 34-year-old Shanann Watts, who was 15 weeks pregnant, and their two daughters, 3-year-old Celeste and 4-year-old Bella, just hours after pleading for them to return home.
Early Thursday morning, officials announced his arrest.
He was booked into the Weld County Jail under three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of tampering with physical evidence.
Police believe they know where bodies are and they're working to retrieve them.
Shanann, a Moore County native, and her daughters have been missing since Monday.
According to sources, Shanann returned home early Monday morning from a work trip in Arizona.
Her husband told police he came home and his wife and their two children were gone. However, her keys, purse, and phone were still at the home.
He also said that he and Shanann had an "emotional conversation" prior to her disappearance and would not elaborate further.
Police told KMGH it was the man's behavior that tipped them off.
It was a confession that is shocking to many.
In a Facebook video, Shanann once called Christopher the best thing that's ever happened to her, saying he stuck with her through medical battles and was lucky to have him.
The FBI and Colorado Bureau of Investigation are also investigating.
Police will hold a news conference at 10:30 (MDT) a.m. regarding the case.
Yeah. Confessing to stuff like that can often get you arrested.
This is NOT the Colorado anti 2A, gun grabbing idiot shannon watts.
Horrible.
“In a Facebook video, Shanann once called Christopher the best thing that’s ever happened to her, saying he stuck with her through medical battles and was lucky to have him.”
She was very lucky to have him.
Bad Luck
Different spelling.............Shanann / Shannon ...................
I have no words...well, a few...string him up by the balls and then gut him like the pig he is.
Fox reporting the killer is going to take police to the bodies.
How does a man do a thing like this? Not just his wife but his daughters as well? I’ll never understand it.
EVIL.................PURE EVIL...............
Just put him in general population.Problem solved.
I worked closely for many years with a man who was convicted of murdering his wife a couple of years ago. He was highly respected and a genuine pillar of the community. I guess you never know what’s inside people’s hearts.
The death penalty is too lenient in this case.
Weeks of torture followed by a very slow painful death would be fitting IMO.
What is the law in Colorado? The unborn child should be a forth count.
Am not trying to excuse what he did but if the drug is dangerous it needs to be looked at.
