Even while serving prison, Chris Watts has corresponded with several pen pals, some of whom believe in his innocence.
In 2018, the 38-year-old committed a heinous act, killing his wife, Shanann, their two daughters, Bella and Celeste, and their unborn son, Nico.
During the initial investigation, Watts fabricated a story, claiming that Shanann had vanished, and informed the authorities that he was unaware of the whereabouts of his wife and children.
In a revelation depicted in the Netflix documentary “American Murder: The Family Next Door,” it was eventually exposed that Chris Watts, the central figure of the tragic case, was responsible for the deaths of his wife and two daughters. The documentary also uncovered his extramarital affair.
Following his guilty plea for the three murders, Watts received a life sentence in prison.
He was additionally sentenced to 48 years for unlawfully terminating his wife Shanann’s pregnancy and 36 years for tampering with the bodies.
Currently serving at Dodge Correctional Institute, Watts assumes the custodian role and maintains a solitary demeanor.
Despite his conviction, Watts engages in correspondence with pen pals, many of whom are women that maintain their belief in his innocence.
Cherlyn Cadle, who conversed extensively with Watts, revealed in a 2021 interview with Inside Edition that he shared intricate details about the murders.
Cadle recounted Watts admitting to planning the killings for months.
Shockingly, Watts purportedly informed her that he had secretly administered OxyContin to Shanann to induce a miscarriage.
Cadle observed a disturbing change in Watts’ demeanor when discussing the murders, noting that his eyes turned cold, and he spoke calmly as if recounting a mundane event.
This portrayal contrasts starkly with the gravity of his actions.
Cadle subsequently published a book titled “The Murders of Chris Watts,” containing Watts’ letters that divulged chilling insights into his attempt to kill his children.
Watts’ written admission described his sinister actions: “August 13, the morning of, I went to the girls’ room first, before Shanann and I argued. I went to Bella’s, then Cece’s, and used a pillow from their bed [to kill them].”
His narrative continued, revealing the extent of the tragic events: “That’s why the cause of death was smothering. After leaving Cece’s room, I climbed back in bed with Shanann, and our argument ensued.”

Watts’ heinous actions did not go as planned, as his daughters unexpectedly woke at night, discovering him disposing of their mother’s body.
He said, “After Shannan passed, Bella and Cece woke up. I’m not sure how they woke back up, but they did. Bella’s eyes were bruised, and both girls looked like they had been through trauma.” The chilling details of his confession continue to reveal the horrifying sequence of events.
