Chris Watts will spend the rest of his life behind bars after murdering his entire family the early morning of August 13, 2018, in Frederick, Colorado, US. Chris was 33 when he murdered his family – his pregnant wife Shanann Watts, Bella, and Celeste “Cece”. He killed his pregnant wife by strangulation and their two young daughters who died by asphyxiation due to smothering. He is currently serving at the Dodge Correctional Institution, a maximum-security prison, in Waupun, Wisconsin. Chris confessed to their murders and admitted to disposing of his daughters’ bodies in oil tanks and buried his wife in a shallow grave at his work-site. He pleaded guilty on November 6, 2018 to multiple counts of first-degree murder as part of a plea deal when the death penalty was removed from sentencing. He was sentenced to five life sentences without the possibility of parole, three to be served consecutively and two to be served concurrently.
