Police in suburban Denver say Watts was having an affair with a co-worker before he was arrested last week in the slayings of his wife, Shanann Watts, and their two young daughters, Bella, 3, and Celeste, 4. Shanann Watts' husband, Chris Watts, has been charged in their deaths. In the 2012 video posted online about six months before the couple wed, Watts said he was in suburban Broomfield, where the Watts family once lived. Greer said she and Shanann Watts talked for about 10 minutes, making the connection that they both had ties to North Carolina. He told investigators that he killed his wife but claimed that she had strangled their two daughters after he told her he wanted to separate. Watts worked at Anadarko Petroleum and was fired on August 15, the day he was arrested. In the background of photos of her own children was Watts taking photos of her girls. According to court documents, Watts told police in Frederick, a Colorado community in the oil and gas fields north of Denver, that he told his wife on August 13 that he wanted to separate. Chris Watts, 33, is charged with three counts of first-degree murder, two counts of murdering a child under 12, one count of unlawful termination of a pregnancy, and three counts of tampering with a deceased human body, according to CBS News. "Sometimes when you have children and your relationship starts to deteriorate a child could help repair it," he said.
– A Colorado man charged with killing his pregnant wife and two young daughters in the midst of an affair with a co-worker once gave a presentation on relationships and infidelity, specifically mentioning the idea of infidelity with a person at work. "Sometimes you find your partner no longer attractive physically or in their personality," Christopher Watts says in a 9-minute YouTube video posted in April 2012, six months before his marriage to Shanann Watts. "Even at the job, you might meet a new person and [the new relationship] could strengthen into something else," he continues, delivering a presentation titled "Communication Speech, Relationship Deterioration and Repair," which he says is for a course he was taking. At one point, Watts notes children "could help repair" a deteriorating relationship, as could listening and showing affection. "Great job Christopher! Good information!" Watts' future wife commented on the video, viewed more than 100,000 times, per CBS News. Along with recent vacation photos, other videos of the couple are racking up online views. "He's the best thing that has ever happened to me," Shanann says of her husband in one, per the Coloradan. Another viewed nearly 12 million times shows Shanann surprising Watts with news of her third pregnancy. "That's awesome," Watts says before kissing his wife. Authorities allege he killed her and daughters Bella, 4, and Celeste, 3, weeks later. Watts has a different version of events, claiming he killed his wife only after she strangled their daughters following a conversation about a possible separation, according to police. He's next due in court in November.
