This is far and away the BEST channel for intelligent, insightful coverage of the Chris Watts murders - BRAVO Derek Van Schaik, your analysis of this merciless psychopath is spot on. People are fascinated and horrified by this case because Chris Watts had appeared to be a loving husband and father, great son and brother, reliable neighbour and dependable co-worker. No one who knew him - not even tragically his victims the closest people to him, his pregnant wife and children, could have imagined the disgusting, depraved acts he would commit.
As a quiet introvert, people projected good qualities onto Chris Watts - they assumed his silence and introspection indicated a gentle, thoughtful, submissive man. How wrong they were - he was a cowardly, cold-hearted narcissist whose lack of personality and drive drew him to the warm, sociable and energised Shanann. When he met her he wanted her, pursued her determinedly (love bombing is the typical MO of a psychopath who uses full-on flattery, flowers, dates, gifts etc etc to win someone over fast and get power over them), then proposed and achieved his end goal - he wanted Shanann for his wife. The unsuspecting Shanann thought this was about love - but psychopaths love nobody but themselves. His pursuit of her was to meet his own, selfish desires at that time - attractive, charismatic and popular Shanann was great for the dull, undynamic, no-personality Chris Watts' image and ego. He enjoyed the reflected glory he got as husband to a glamorous, popular and confident woman.
Family life with her suited him down to the ground (she owned her own $400,000 home and sold it to buy the family house she and he moved into), she contributed the lion's share to their fun new married lifestyle. In return, he was willing to play the role of loving husband and father - until he got bored of it and decided a wife and children didn't fit into his future plans.
Shanann and the children were always at risk of being killed by Chris Watts, because he never, ever loved them or felt any genuine emotion for them. So the minute he decided they no longer served any useful purpose in his life, he was able and willing to end their lives, to erase them from his own. He could do this without a moment's emotion, sadness or even guilt - as evidenced by his behaviour during this TV interview.
People struggle to accept this shocking truth, because as a non psychopath it's tough to understand how a psychopath's mind works. Studies have proved a psychopath's brain is different to a non psychopaths. The pathways to emotion centres in the brain controlling feelings like love, empathy, guilt and even fear are weak in psychopaths (the weak connection to feelings of fear explains why psychopaths are risk takers and could explain why Chris Watts was so relaxed and expected to literally get away with murder). These weak brain pathways connecting to normal human emotions make them capable of unspeakable acts like these murders, and the vile, ruthless cover-up that followed.
However, psychopath's are not just born, they are made too - extreme cases like Chris Watts almost certainly became so dangerous from a combination of nature/genetics which gave him that warped brain, with it's lack of connection to human emotions, but also crucially from nurture/upbringing too. One only has to observe Chris Watts' parents, who have behaved so badly in interviews and in court, and clearly enabled their son's out-of-control narcissism. Their obvious spite against Shanann, a woman they never liked or felt was good enough for their son, has continued even after their son brutally murdered her and her babies and dumped their bodies like trash.
I will never forget their appalling disrespect for the victims and Shanann's family, when they stood up in court (as they had a right to do, as supposed victims themselves), and brazenly took more time than Shanann's family to talk - not about Shanann, Bella, Celeste and Nico - but to tell their evil son that they loved him and forgave him! That was a huge slap in the face for Shanann's family, and totally inappropriate. It should be noted Chris Watts never looked up at his mother as she addressed him, requested his father's support when he was first arrested and told his mother not to come, and according to reports has not allowed her to visit him in prison.
I hope psychiatrists will take advantage of CW's life sentence and study him in prison to learn more about how men like him become so damaged and dangerous. His childhood will be pivotal - and I suspect it would not take long for experts to find he has a deep seated hatred for his mother, which in adulthood translated into love-hate feelings towards women who attract and repel him in equal measure.
I stress though, psychopaths who behave in extreme ways as CW has done, are created by a combination of nature and nurture - in other words, they are both born and made. An eminent psychiatrist studied himself and discovered to his horror, he had the brain of a psychopath - with those weak pathways to human emotions such as love, empathy etc. He had the kind of brain typical of ruthless murderers like Chris Watts! However, he had turned out to be a great guy, successful in his home and career lives - and the reason? He had a wonderful childhood, with a warm, loving secure family who loved and supported him. He said if he had had different parents and an unhappy childhood, he could easily have ended up taking a very different and sinister life-path!
Fascinating subject - I hope Derek does more videos about psychopaths and crucially, explores how we non-psychopaths can spot them! Not all psychopaths are murderers, but they are all capable of wreaking terrible damage and destruction on the people around them. Many psychopaths are highly successful in business and politics - I can think of a very high profile man who may well fit the profile of a psychopath!

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.

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???
