August 15, 11:30 p.m.: Chris Watts is arrested on suspicion of three first-degree-murder charges and three charges of tampering with a deceased human body. #ChrisWatts #ShanannWatts #NicholKessinger #AmericanMurder #AmericanMurderTheFamilyNextDoor

This could have made all the difference in the case. Since there is no direct physical evidence linking Chris to the murders, and no bodies at that point, no confession left them with a very weak case. #ChrisWatts #shanannwatts #americanmurderer #AmericanMurderTheFamilyNextDoor

Please note, investigators took a HUGE risk allowing Chris’ father into the interrogation room.
If Ronnie walked in and told Chris he needs a lawyer and to not speak, any chance of a confession could have been destroyed. #ChrisWatts #AmericanMurderTheFamilyNextDoor

[chriswattscase @chriswattscase]

Obrigado. Yes. Netflix left ALOT out of the documentary.

In an interview with LE in Feb 2019, CW said he was looking up the lyrics to the song because NK liked it & asked him what it meant. CW denied looking up the lyrics on the way to or from the oil site after the murders. #ChrisWatts #ShanannWatts #NicholKessinger #AmericanMurder

[chriswattscase @chriswattscase]

The song contains the lyrics: "Smashing through the boundaries/ Lunacy has found me/ Cannot stop the battery/ Pounding out aggression/ Turns into obsession/ Cannot kill the battery/ Cannot kill the family."
