This YT channel is the ONLY one providing intelligent, insightful videos on this very well-trodden subject - excellent work, BRAVO! It is great to hear you state clearly Chris watts is a psychopath, a severely warped individual whose narcissism and total lack of empathy not only allowed him to murder his family - it allowed him to believe he would get away with it, without making any effort! Too many people are STILL being fooled by Chris Watts, ie they are believing his 'loving family man' act and that the murders were some spontaneous, out of character act. WRONG! This video explains the man's psyche clearly - as demonstrated by the cold, premeditated manner of the murders, and his conduct afterwards in believing he could con Shanann's friends and family, cops, TV news reporters, sniffer dogs and even a lie detector, that he was still that great, regular family man he had been play acting successfully for years. Poor Shanann and the children never knew who Chris Watts, husband and father, really was - until he was murdering them with his bare hands. People really need to understand the truth - many people were fooled by a dangerous man who convinced them he was a good guy for many years. You think Chris Watts is the only psychopath out there - the only wolf in sheep's clothing leading a respectable life, having no criminal record and appearing in the words of one friend that he 'wouldn't hurt a fly'? Think again!

Are you suggesting Chris Watts dumped his wife and daughters' bodies in his truck at the BACK of the house, where there were no CCTV cameras? I thought it was established that the neighbour Nate's camera videoed him around 5am backing his work truck into his garage at the FRONT of the house and making 3 separate journeys to the vehicle on foot to dump each dead body? My assumption is that CW tells the TV news crew there are no cameras at the back of his house, purely to set up some kind of bullshit theory that a kidnapper took them out the back, and the only reason there's no evidence of that because there are no cameras? By the way - why do some people believe CW killed the children first? This makes no sense to me and is not the opinion of police and prosecution. CW is a coward and did not want to put Shanann on her guard when she got home. So he would not have risked her finding her own kids murdered, then fighting him and possibly fleeing the house and raising the alarm. I believe the children were alive and in bed when Shanann stepped in the door, cos CW knew she had missed them and would be sure to check on them when she got in. I think Bella, a light sleeper who CW said had been waking all evening and asking him if Mommy was home yet, may have been awake/woken when Shanann got in. However CW made murdering his adult wife the priority - she was his biggest challenge in every sense, once he had killed her, killing two little girls was a piece of cake. Shanann's dead body was found with her make up still on and underwear and a T shirt - this tells me she was getting ready for bed, probably sitting or laying on the bed, when he attacked and quickly overpowered and strangled her to death. She had no defensive wounds so had been unable to fight back - CW did not want to fight with his wife, he wanted to kill her quickly and with as little struggle as possible. Seems he succeeded. I don't think that poor woman had a clue he was dangerous until he was sitting on top of her, his thighs pinning her arms to her sides and his hands tightening around her throat. Her last thoughts are just heart breaking to imagine. Once he had achieved his biggest goal, killing the one victim who had a chance of fighting back, he could kill the two children with ease, knowing their mother could not defend them. He likely killed Bella next as she was the eldest child and the next biggest threat - I think she was either awake or woke as he was suffocating her with his bare hands, as she was a light sleeper and her autopsy revealed she had struggled - there were lacerations showing she had bitten her own tongue several times and torn her inner lip. Little Cece did not appear to have struggled at all, she may have been asleep or just too tiny to put up any kind of fight against a grown man. Bad enough this bastard murdered his pregnant wife and children in cold blood - he then tried to blame Shanann for the children's murders! Unlike him, she was a loving and devoted parent who would have died for Bella and Cece - as one of her friends said "Shanann would have chosen those girls over 100 Chris Watts". This pitiless woman and child killer has no redeeming features and not a shred of guilt about killing the defenceless woman and children who loved him. As the female cop mentioned in her notes - after describing to her and her colleague how he crammed his little girls' corpses into tanks of crude oil feet first through an 8 inch hatch, he accepted her offer of pizza, ate both slices, then accepted two more offered by another cop and finished every scrap. Chris Watts is not human. The photos of him clean shaven in prison reveal his true face - that vile, mean, thin lipped mouth is finally revealed and you can see that the beard, like his quiet, Mr Nice Guy act, hid a multitude of very ugly flaws.

@Simply_Helen Your comment about Gabby touching her throat as she recalled their fight was very insightful - the coroner has confirmed Gabby Petito was strangled. I would bet Brian Laundrie had throttled her before, but this time took it to the worst conclusion, didn't release his grip on her neck, and murdered her.
Domestic violence experts have identified that if an abuser grabs at or squeezes a partner's neck, even as a supposed joke, there is a massive increase in the chances of him killing her by that method some day. A woman is never strangled without there having been several prior 'practice runs'. The advice to women is clear - if a man touches your neck like that, leave him. Stay, and you might not survive the relationship.
I think Gabby was murdered on 27th August, after Brian Laundrie's restaurant meltdown at waitresses, which was witnessed by many people. It's said Gabby apologised to staff for his nasty behaviour. A narcissist like him cannot handle public embarrassment which for them is an unbearable humiliation. I think Brian was enraged about losing face in that restaurant, through his own ugly, hysterical behaviour - and when they were alone in the van later, he strangled her to death. Poor Gabby, I so wish she had escaped this toxic loser long before he decided to murder her. She deserved so much better than that hideous, spoiled mommy's boy!

The body language is very revealing, he's not even close to tears at any point, but smiling several times, hugging himself, sucking his bottom lip etc etc - but the visuals aside, if you just read a transcript of what he says it is bizarre to say the least! He is not saying the things a man who has just lost his entire family in mysterious circumstances would say. He talks in vague clichés, and repeats them - a clear clue he has rehearsed this bullshit over and over in his mind. According to him, he has just lost a pregnant wife and two tiny little daughters aged 3 and 4, he fails to mention important issues like his wife is pregnant and the children are without their medication! They are all very vulnerable, so why isn't he looking worried, anxious, begging the public to help him find them? He just parrots over and over "I want them back" while shaking his head to tell us "GOTCHA! I don't want them at all - good riddance!" How his friends could have invited him to sleep over at their house with their 5 year old daughter I will never know! They must be incredibly dumb - they really should have stopped to think, statistically the chances of anyone but Chris Watts being behind his family's disappearance were practically nil. But if there was even a shadow of doubt about him (and they knew there was, as police were interviewing him), they should not have risked their own safety and that of their little girl by having him anywhere inside their house - least of all, overnight! Are they crazy???

Bravo Derek! It's reassuring to see a young man calling out Brian Laundry's appalling domestic abuse. Abuse we now know escalated to Gabby Petito's homicide at his hands, just two weeks later. It breaks my heart to see that lovely young woman so distressed and desperately covering-up for that evil, manipulative shit-bag!
Bizarrely, this bodycam which exposed shocking mishandling of a domestic abuse situation by police, attracted a lot of online victim-blaming. Who were the culprits calling Gabby, not Brian, the abuser? Young single males of course, who don't want to see another inadequate man-child like Brian Laundrie have his abuse called out!
It's become clear Brian is some kind of 'hero' to the Incel brigade. These guys, watching the bodycam from their momma's basement, love Brian Laundrie. He's their hero! They can't believe a guy as desperately unattractive as him pulled a woman like Gabby. Not only did he pull her, he abused and gaslit her so she was totally under his control. That's a wet dream to an Incel. If fuckwit Brian can wield power over an attractive, eligible young woman, it gives them hope they might some day do the same, and ditch their inflatable girlfriend.
Incels idolise peanut-head - that's why they victim-blame, and try to find excuses for his abuse in Gabby's behaviour. The scratches on his face show she was abusive, they say - when in fact such scratches are typically seen on males who abuse females. Those scratches were evidence of his abuse and her attempts to defend herself. He probably received a few more of those marks two weeks later, when he killed her.
If only such idiocy were solely the work of Incels. But as this video so powerfully shows, police are guilty of victim-blaming in domestic cases too. The way cops accepted Gabby's self-blame at face value, and were totally taken in by Brian's 'nice guy' act, shows officers desperately need better training on domestic abuse. It is staggering after two independent witnesses reported Brian assaulting her that morning, they never once confronted him over those serious allegations! Nor did they prioritise Gabby's safety, as a woman.
While men can be victims of domestic abuse, its victims are overwhelmingly women, and murder victims are almost exclusively female. So it was Gabby, not Brian, at potential risk of serious harm. Police should know this! Law enforcement more than anyone, should be fully aware of the statistics: Domestic violence is a global pandemic far more deadly for women than Covid! Gabby's care and safety should have been the police priority, not Brian's.
Instead they sent her off alone and distraught, at the wheel of a van she'd told them she wasn't confident driving. Cops instructed her to sleep alone in the vehicle that night, telling her as an afterthought where she could get a shower. Meanwhile they chauffeured her abuser Brian to a comfortable hotel, to enjoy a night of home comforts on Gabby's credit card. Unbelievable! This is what two public spirited guys called 911 on Brian for, after seeing him slapping a woman around??? Police did everything but kiss his ass! Those cops should face serious consequences for their appalling judgement.
No wonder Brian looked so smug at the end of the video. He knew the next morning his girlfriend would be more emotional than ever after a night alone in the van - and willing to reconcile with him totally on his terms. Police actions isolated Gabby, making her more vulnerable, and in effect endorsed Brian's abuse, feeding his feelings of entitlement to not only continue mistreating her but to escalate his violence. Two weeks later he killed her. To say those police officers let Gabby down is a massive understatement. They are a disgrace to their uniform, and to all the women they are paid to serve and protect.
Excellent video, superb analysis - thank you!

@juanitarichards1074 Thank God you did. I've been stunned by your story before, and your impressive strength in helping others affected too.
Your always insightful comments on videos like this one help many, many people. Knowledge is power - it's crucial there's a platform to discuss and analyse the M.O. of abusers like Chris Watts, so the red flags can be recognised. I believe there will have been many, many red flags in his behaviour during the 8 years Shanann spent with him. A man couldn't be capable of committing and immediately shrugging off the obscene crimes he did, without being seriously out of step with emotionally-functioning people in a million different ways!
I thought this was an impressive video, did you? I've watched so much content about this crime, it's rare to come across anything original. But his insights were sharp and strongly expressed, and the editing was brilliantly done. The 'jump cuts' from that empty house on 13th August 2018 to it's previous glory as a family home with Shanann and the girls running round it, were heart-stopping and starkly showed the tragedy before your eyes.
The victim-blamers should think about Shanann's house standing cold, empty and silent on Christmas Day, when once it rang to the sounds of laughter, children playing, and a kitchen bustling with warmth and home-cooked food. Just too sad for words!

Absolutely right, narcissistic abusers like Amber Heard are pathologically self-serving parasites, who will drain the life-blood from you, if you are conned by one into letting him/her into your heart.
The Depp vs Heard trial was a salutary lesson to us all, in the destructive power of narcissistic domestic abuse. Thank God Johnny finally got that cruel, gold-digging vampire off his back. I pray he'll now focus on getting healthy and kicking the addictive substances - and hangers on - who are subtracting from, not adding to, his life.
I would love to see him clean and sober, surrounded by people who genuinely love him and deserve his trust, and focusing on doing some of his best acting work, as he enters the last 10-20 years of his career.
Johnny Depp is one of the finest actors of all time, how wonderful if he were to land a fantastic role and win the Oscar that has so far eluded him. Millions of people like myself who only got to 'know' him through the recent, high-profile trial, will be rooting for him all the way.

@patmacrotch5611 Cops cannot be expected to be mind readers and I recognise domestic situations are complex. But with better training on abusive relationships like this one, I believe they would have handled it very differently.
The police made the fundamental mistake of failing to identify Gabby as a victim and Brian as a perpetrator. That is basic stuff! No, they should not have taken Gabby's silence about the abuse at face value. Her clear distress - and his cool, calm demeanour, spoke volumes about the reality of this toxic relationship and her abuse within it.
A missing piece of bodycam footage from that incident has just been released. It shows Gabby telling the officer Brian hit her (as he knew had been confirmed by the recent, independent 911 witness report), but she quickly retracts it. That should have been recognised by the officer as very significant.
Yet police never once confronted or questioned Brian about the 911 allegation that he 'slapped and hit' Gabby on the street. Why not? The truth is, these cops called it wrong right down the line, with the result they made the woman more vulnerable and the man more empowered. No wonder Brian was grinning broadly as he was driven off to spend a comfortable night in a hotel. He sure did a number on those cops, the same as he had on his girlfriend. Like a typical abuser, he's a master manipulator.

Will Smith should have been removed from the Oscars by security, backed up by LA Police. What he did in front of millions of people at a polite, high calibre global event was a total disgrace. Allowing him to stay and collect his Oscar, delivered an even bigger slap in the face to Chris Rock (whose only sin was a mildly misjudged joke).
Chris Rock handled it like a gent, and emerged with class. Will Smith acted like an immature, out of control teen, not a 53 year old superstar at the height of his career. He unintentionally told the world a whole lot more that he meant to about his toxic marriage to a malignant narcissist.
As Derek pointed out, Will laughed at the joke, then saw Jada's reaction and switched from smiles to rage in a nanosecond. He's clearly Jada's attack dog, she has full control of him. Will knew if he didn't defend her, there would be hell to pay later.
It was such a crazy overreaction to the gag, Smith's violence had to be about other stuff. It doesn't take a psychiatrist to know his wife's highly publicised affairs have made him the most famous cuckold on the planet - and the butt of many jokes WAY worse than the GI Jane line!
Will must attend every awards ceremony nervous it could turn into a roast of his wife's affairs with the late, legendary Tupac or more recently, her son's 22 year old friend August. If Ricky Gervais were hosting, he'd have gone for the throat with a joke about the latter, Jada's age-inappropriate seduction of her son's best pal, and 'sleepovers'. Gervais is British, so he doesn't give a shit about Hollywood - Will Smith would not have dared pull his shit with Ricky!

@claytondavis7415 I suggest you read my previous posts again, and try harder to focus this time. I've fully explained where the police officers went wrong. I'm not the only one to deduce that, many other intelligent men and women agree - and even senior law enforcement officer Sheriff Grady Judd condemned police inaction against Brian Laundrie.
You're confused about a great many aspects of this case. Police did not randomly stop the van - they stopped it due to two 911 witness reports of Brian Laundrie hitting Gabby Petito. Therefore they were well aware that he, not she, was the perpetrator of domestic abuse.
What's more, as the female, it was Gabby not Brian at risk of serious harm or worse. Females are overwhelmingly the victims of domestic abuse, and males overwhelmingly the abusers. More to the point, the victims of domestic murder, are almost exclusively women. Police above all, should be aware of these facts!
People don't dial 911 for no reason. Nor do they call 911 on seeing a slight woman hit a man - Get real! Everyone but the most obtuse misogynist knows exactly what happened here - Gabby's homicide by Laundrie two weeks later proves it.
I've tried to educate you, but it's now totally clear you have no interest in anything that blows your dumb misogyny out the water. Seriously - find something more useful to do with your time than sucking Brian Laundrie's undersized dick. You are dismissed!

@kdfulton3152 I agree, you're spot on. Agent Tammy Lee was absolutely right when she told CW before his (failed) polygraph test "You're a terrible liar!" I'm amazed anyone believed that crazy fiction he told visiting detectives last year. You could practically hear his brain cells straining under the pressure of making it up as he went along!
His fabricated tale of murdering his two children on the back seat of his truck at Cervi was especially unconvincing. Because he isn't bright and has no empathy, he's very bad at inventing dialogue. So his accounts of statements the victims supposedly made to him that night, never ring true. And he recycles old lies!
Remember his first fake account of the murders, in which he claimed he strangled Shanann only, after she had strangled the children? In the police interrogation room he told his dad Ronnie: "I did to her what she just did to the kids".
Fast forward to his new, February 2019 version of the murders with gratuitous, horrific embellishments. He claims after killing Cece in his truck in front of Bella, Bella said to him: "Are you going to do to me what you just did to Cece?" Sound familiar?
And he claimed he'd never forget Bella's last words, saying they were "Daddy - no!" before later contradicting himself and saying they were: "No - daddy!" HUH?! You said you'd never forget them Chris, but you already did!

@cmont4064 Yep Brian wouldn't want other men to know the van belongs to Gabby, because that goes dangerously close to his true identity as an inadequate parasite who still lives at home with mommy & daddy, never held down a job and pimps off his girlfriend. If the truth about who he is emerged, it would emasculate him!
He's created a false persona and values for himself to explain away his obvious lack of achievements at age 23. He claims to be anti technology because it's another way for him to claim the moral high ground and fake superiority over others. Yet he's more than happy to help himself to Gabby's phone and computer - and her money too, as we discovered when he emptied her bank account of $1,000 after killing her.
He loved being in the driving seat of that van, literally and metaphorically, and used it as a weapon against her. Locking her out of it as punishment for saying or doing something that displeased him was one of many red flags to his abuse that cops missed. On a long road trip, the vehicle assumes central importance as your home, security and protection. For one person to hold control over the keys and deprive the other one from entering is a big power trip and very sinister.
I think a road trip like that could make or break any couple. Brian was likely stressed and out of his depth, away from his over-indulgent parents for the first time in his life. I think he was struggling without their emotional and practical support, and his abuse escalated to an horrific degree - culminating in her murder. The sooner that evil POS is caught and locked in the cage he'll die in, the better!

Amber Heard has a documented history of using her younger sister Whitney as a punchbag. It is a measure of the abusive control she continues wield over her, that Whitney was willing to betray Depp, a man who has only ever treated her with kindness, committing perjury with false allegations of violence against him that echoed her sister's lies.
Whitney knows the truth better than most people, that the violent half of that partnership was not Johnny Depp, but her vile, abusive sibling Amber Heard!
Her evidence on the stand was wholly unconvincing. It was obvious she bore no real ill will against Depp, and that he had never tried to physically assault her, as they both claimed. Whitney may be another victim of Amber Heard's abuse, but she is also a grown adult, who knows right from wrong. She deserves no sympathy, as a spineless enabler who would have happily helped ruin a good man with heinous lies. Shame on her!

@zxyatiywariii8 100% agree, I think this is a case where the convicted criminal was born into such privilege, his mixed race was only ever advantageous to him. I think he has always been too wealthy and protected from the real world to have experienced any disadvantage from his ethnicity - an extremely rare form of privilege.
On the contrary, his skin colour allowed him as an actor from childhood, to play everyday characters (including perhaps racially persecuted and disadvantaged ones), and as we've seen so shamefully over the last 3 years, it has allowed him to repeat his heinous crime by cynically playing the race card AGAIN and AGAIN to pretend he didn't get a fair trial!
His wealthy black lawyers are a disgrace, standing there talking about 'black men' having a hard time in the justice system like their client is any kind of typical 'black man' If he were, he'd have had a jury trial way back at the start and couldn't have got powerful friends to block and delay justice so many times!
I'm a white person, and haven't experienced racism personally, though friends have. This case infuriates me because it can only do harm to the reputation of all people of colour (most of whom are not powerful like Smollett), and as you rightly say it will deter victims from reporting hate crimes and sadly, maybe from being believed. Smollett gave racist police an excuse on a plate to disrespect and disbelieve victims.
He's a traitor to the ethnic heritage he cynically exploited with that fake hate attack, including the noose he put round his own neck! JEEZE that makes me so mad - real people were lynched by evil white supremacists not even 100 years ago (I feel sick just typing that), and the millionaire actor thinks he's entitled to exploit that vile truth to pretend he was exposed to similar hatred and claim victimhood for public sympathy!
I'm glad to hear you were able to defend yourself from a racially motivated, false arrest thanks to evidence from security cameras. Sorry it happened to you. It's disgusting, and confirms the ugly truth that dumb, ugly racism exists in the most ordinary, everyday settings, among people you'd expect to know better and be better.
It's truly sad that Jussie Smollett, a black man who enjoyed the immense privileges of fame, VIP status, wealth and popularity, could not use those rare gifts for good. Human beings are astonishing - and disappointing - when those who have been given so much don't see they should give back, not seek to take even more!
It will be interesting to see how this story develops on the legal front. But whatever the outcome, as far as Jussie Smollett's public image and acting career are concerned, he's finished. He self-destructed through sheer greed. I really think he saw great black actors/stars like Denzel Washington and Samuel L Jackson and felt resentful, like he deserved the same level of fame and prestige. But as we've seen only too clearly in the last 3 years - he really isn't that good an actor!

@claudiafelicescheuerer463 Absolutely right, and you make a very important point. Physically leaving an abuser must be planned like a military operation! Many women are murdered as they leave, or after their abuser tracked them down to their new destination. The end of the relationship is the most high-risk time for the abuse victim, and statistics prove it's a common trigger for murder. Such men do not handle rejection well.
Brian Laundrie's control issues suggest he feared Gabby's rejection throughout their relationship. I think he persuaded her to move in with him at his parents' house to keep control over her. And the road trip escalated his control, with just the two of them cut off from the world sharing a tiny living space.
Brian has never lived independently of his parents at 23, and there's no record of any proper career in the real world (calling himself an artist does not count!) He's unusually 'stuck' and dependant, for a man in his early twenties. Gabby paid for the van trip and pretty much everything else herself, by working hard waiting tables.
I think there's every chance mommy's-boy Brian was stressed on the road, without the constant proximity of his parents' practical and emotional support. This and his existing narcissism issues, meant his abuse of Gabby escalated to her murder. He was the last person she should have done the 'Van Life' project with! It's horrific how vulnerable she was, trapped alone in a small vehicle with a highly toxic and dangerous sociopath. In that set up she literally had no one to turn to.
That poor young woman, you can see from her extreme distress on the police bodycam how serious and sinister his abuse of her had become. Yet police failed to recognise what was going on, and support her. It breaks my heart her promising young life is over, when it had barely begun. She had so much wonderful potential, and so many profound experiences ahead of her. All stolen from her by a ruthlessly self-centred jerk.

@shilohaugust6749 You're clearly confused. This is not a court of law, where the presumption of innocence is king. If Brian Laundrie is charged with a crime relating to the homicide of Gabby Petito, he will receive a full and fair trial and the full benefit of that presumption of innocence.
This is a true crime discussion forum, where free speech reigns and people can share opinions, theories and beliefs about all aspects of crimes - including the innocence or guilt of an individual. The strict rules and protocol of the courtroom and due process do not apply on social media. If that offends you, perhaps you shouldn't be here?
It's baffling you think there's 'not one ounce of proof' Brian Laundrie murdered Gabby Petito, when the circumstantial evidence against him indicating just that is stacking up, every day he remains on the run from police! Circumstantial evidence IS evidence - and in fact can be far more compelling than forensic evidence. As a police officer, you should know that.
Gabby Petito was last seen alive with her partner Brian Laundrie. They had a confirmed history of domestic abuse, recently involving police. The last sighting of them was in a restaurant, where he was fighting with staff, and she was in tears.
Laundrie returned to his parents' home in Gabby's van, without her - contrary to the couple's stated plans. He immediately hired a lawyer and refused to speak to police or the distraught Petito family about her whereabouts. He then went missing. Gabby's body was subsequently discovered dumped on park land. The coroner ruled it a homicide.
All of the above is circumstantial evidence, pointing to Brian Laundrie having murdered Gabby Petito. If he emerges from his hiding place alive, I'll bet you £1,000 he's charged with her murder. Make it £10,000 if you like! And people are not charged with murder with 'not one ounce of proof'.
