Publisher's Synopsis
Some of you have no doubt been following this case since the very first news item aired...
Some of you have maybe just discovered the Watts' case since watching the Netflix documentary... Some of you may have read both books 1 and 2 in this series. And there will no doubt be others who haven't read or watched anything at all and this is your first introduction to what happed that fateful night. With the latter in mind, I will recap briefly the series so far... In Cold Blood - Discovering Chris Watts: The Facts - Part One Christopher Lee (Chris) Watts, the dashing, seemingly genteel, affable man who murdered his entire family in a calculated attack that shocked the entire world. Shanann Watts, his pregnant, incredibly beautiful wife whose life was snuffed out because her doting husband decided he wanted a fresh start. Bella Marie and Celeste Cathryn (CeCe) Watts, adorable sisters who worshipped their father, the very man who suffocated them both in cold blood using their comfort blankets against them. He then went on to dispose of their tiny bodies into huge tanks filled with toxic crude oil. Nico Lee Watts, Chris and Shanann's unborn son. No doubt, most of you watched the story unfold on the news, open-mouthed, in total shock. What could push a loving father to brutally murder his family? Surely there was some mistake? We all have preconceived ideas of how a monster should look-grotesque, hideously deformed, a crazed madman-not this handsome, mild-mannered, shy, polite gent who was often portrayed as the perfect husband and father. So, what happened? We will try to make some sense of what occurred during the early hours of August 13th 2018. We will endeavour to present to you all aspects of the case, right from the initial investigation and how it unfolded, to the first and subsequent confessions, all transcribed word for word (where possible), from actual video and audio footage obtained from the FBI's Discovery Files. In part two, A Deal with the Devil, we focus on... -... the grim discovery and recovery of the bodies.-... the chilling details of the autopsies.
-... the remaining police interviews of Nichol Kessinger.
-... the Plea Deal.
-... the sentencing.
-... Chris Watts Prison Interview. What to expect in this book... The Truth within the LIES - Discovering Chris Watts: Part Three - The Theories For anyone new to this case, the first thing they ask is why? And unfortunately no amount of reading, or watching, or studying will answer that question for you. The only person who knows the absolute truth is Chris Watts himself, and for some reason he has refused to confess all up to now. Oh yes, he's confessed to much of it, but there are so many discrepancies, changed statements, obvious lies and omissions. The online True Crime Community is rife with scenarios and theories and some of them are eye-poppingly, jaw-droppingly valid. We've already given you the facts, and now we intend to put forward some of the theories to see if we can work out which truths have been weaved through the lies and vice-versa. Marcus and Netta have worked together for a few years now, mainly in a publishing capacity, but in 2019 they joined forces and wrote Avaline Saddlebags-the first in a psychological fiction thriller series. Combining their joint obsession with this case, they studied the files together, often into the small hours. We want to stress that if you have already read the discovery files, then this series of books is probably not for you.As seen on Netflix - American Murder: The
