Chris Watts’ Colorado MURDER home is secretly put up for sale for whopping $660,000!
FREDERICK, COLORADO: The Colorado house where Chris Watts killed his 15 weeks pregnant wife Shanann Cathryn Rzucek before smothering daughters – Bella, 4, and Celeste, 3, at his work site, has reportedly been placed for sale. The Sun reported that the property which includes five bedrooms and four bathrooms as well as three garage spaces is on sale for $660K. The Watts family had bought the 2013-built house for $400,000.
The Watts’ home was reportedly listed by Rocket Homes recently without the photo of the front area. But it does apparently include 40 pictures, showing the dark wood kitchen cabinets and the same paint in a few rooms, as it was in 2018 when the spine-chilling crime happened in August 2018. Online sleuths on a private Facebook group, 'The Watts Family Murders', reportedly first discovered the ad for the 4,177-square foot home.

The Sun then contacted the real estate agency in Detroit, Michigan, to confirm about it, and they said, “It is for sale, it's [a] five-bedroom, four-bath.” Also, it has been said that to avoid unnecessary crowds, the advertisement of the house of horrors under a fictitious address has been put up: “If you are interested in this home, please submit a funding commitment letter from your bank for at least $660,000. Letters must be submitted by May 24, 2022. We will contact you to arrange a showing.”
The ad added: “There will be limited showings of the house followed by the acceptance of bids with a minimum bid of $660,000. Buyer's agent must be present with you at your showing. Home is sold as-is. Buyer to verify square footage.”
Shanann’s family did not comment on the selling of the house, whose seller has been recorded as Coldwell Banker Realty, but earlier this month, her father gave an interview to CBS Denver while being inside the property. He said: “[I] walk through that front door, I look up at the balcony, and that's where the girls would be every day when I came home from work. To this day I look at that balcony, it's very hard,” before noting: “It's a nightmare that goes on every day, it doesn't go away.”
Meanwhile, Watts is currently behind bars at the Dodge Correctional Institution in Waupun, Wisconsin, after being awarded five life sentences plus 48 years in prison without the possibility of parole. At the time, when he killed his family, he was reportedly romantically involved with a colleague named Nichol Kessinger. One of his former fellow inmates, David Carter, claimed he tried to blame Kessinger for the triple murder. Carter said: “We were on the same unit together, unit 11. It's for people that can't fit in with the general population and people with medical issues. One day we were reading the Bible and talking about God, this was in October 2020. I told him that I couldn't judge him for what had happened, but I'd like to know what was going through his head."
The 35-year-old then alleged that Watts told him, “Nichol had smothered the girls with their blankets and they suffocated.” He also added that the criminal said his alleged lover killed his daughters and helped dig Shanann's grave.
