About this episode

In August 2018, Chris Watts murdered his pregnant wife and two young daughters. At first, he pretended to be a loving and concerned husband to police and local news outlets, but just a few days later, he confessed. The ensuing media coverage made Watts one of the most hated men in the United States.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the disturbing case of Chris Watts. How can a husband and father murder those he is supposed to love and is tasked with protecting? In the case of Chris Watts, he was an extremely selfish person who wanted out of his marriage so that he could be with another woman. The brutal acts he committed shocked the true crime community and the entire world.
