Shanann's mother had warned police that Chris Watts would cover up the murders by hiding bodies in oil
It has been revealed that Shanann Watts' mother, Sandra Rzucek, suspected that Chris Watts was the killer the moment he appeared on live TV. She even warned the authorities that he would probably cover up the murder by hiding Shanann, Bella, and Celeste's bodies in the oil fields that belonged to the company he worked in at that time, Anadarko Petroleum. The early suspicions of the mother and the transcripts of the FBI interviews are all included in a nearly 2,000-page case file that was released on November 21 by the Weld County District Attorney's Office.
The Denver Post was able to obtain the case file through an open records request. The documents were made available for the media after Watts was sentenced on November 19 to life in prison for murdering his pregnant wife and two young daughters. He pleaded guilty on November 6 to nine different charges that included murder.
