Distressing images and written report detail process of retrieving bodies of Chris Watts' two daughters from oil tanks
WARNING: DISTRESSING CONTENT AND IMAGES
A Hazardous Materials Incident Narrative Report filed by the Colorado State Patrol went into the detail of the process that was involved in retrieving the bodies of Bella and Celeste Watts from two large oil tanks, where their father, Chris Watts, had dumped their bodies after murdering them.
The entire process started at 5 am on August 16 and went on for almost 14 hours, with the report also noting that at 6:45 pm, members of the patrol finally cleared the scene.
The Daily Mail reported that in that time, the oil stored in the 400-barrel tanks at the remote oil site owned by Anadarko Petroleum was manually drained by workers who carefully poured the liquid over metal screens to collect any evidence. Once the tanks were emptied, men donning self-contained breathing gear entered the tanks and removed the bodies of the two children whose skin was coming off as they were passed out of the container.
