Chris Watts case: Shanann Watts texted friend her suspicions on husband, days before he strangled her to death
Less than a week before Chris Watts, Shanann's husband of almost six years, strangled her to death in their Frederick, Colorado, home, the pregnant 34-year-old reportedly shared her suspicions with a friend of hers. According to investigative documents that have been released by multiple local media outlets, she texted her friend early on August 7: "He has changed. I don’t know who he is." The documents include police reports, transcripts of interviews, and other material that are related to the high-profile case of the Watts family murders.
The documents, which have been analyzed in detail by TV stations such as KDVR, show the underlying narrative of the murders which were already laid out by authorities in Colorado. This was that 33-year-old Chris Watts suddenly grew very distant from his family and was infatuated with a "new love", until he finally couldn't figure out a way to keep them all in his life and chose his new lover over his pregnant wife and two young daughters, PEOPLE reported.
