'We lost so much in the blink of an eye': Shanann Watts' brother details the horrific nightmare that followed her murder
Last month, the entire country was shocked by the triple murder of a pregnant Colorado mom and her two daughters. 34-year-old Shanann Watts, who was 15 months into her third pregnancy, was allegedly strangled and killed by her husband, Chris Watts, who has now been charged with nine felonies in the deaths of Shanann and their daughters Celeste, 4, and Bella, 3, which includes five charges of first-degree murder.
People from all over the country came to together to express their condolence in the past few weeks, something that her whole family is thankful for. In a night vigil held on Friday, a crowd of grieving Clifton residents gathered at Albion Park, where pictures of Shanann, Bella, and Celeste were placed. The roughly 20-minute ceremony also saw well-wishers holding candles and flowers, reports North Jersey.com. Four white balloons were released into the sky during the vigil, one each for Shanann, Bella, Celeste, and the unborn baby Nico.
