Watts Up? (Chris Watts Family Murder)

On November 13, 2022, four University of Idaho students—Ethan Chapin, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Kaylee Goncalves—were killed in their off-campus home in Moscow, Idaho, a small college town in the Palouse region not known for this kind of violence. After nearly three years of pretrial proceedings, Bryan Kohberger, a criminal justice graduate student, pled guilty, closing the case without a...

A guilty plea ended the case against Bryan Kohberger. It didn't end the questions surrounding the murders of four University of Idaho students.  We look at what we know — and what we still don't.  On November 13, 2022, four University of Idaho students—Ethan Chapin, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Kaylee Goncalves—were killed in their off-campus home in Moscow, Idaho, a small college town in the...

The truth is often stranger than fiction. And this seems to be true in this case of Mackenzie Shirilla, the young woman who crashed her car into a brick wall at nearly 100mph. This feels like the kind of case MADE for Netflix, made for content creators to discuss, dissect, parody, and analyze with a multitude of interpretations. I cannot say with certainty what happened that fateful morning. There...

This case is unbelievably crazy. It makes NO sense and seems just cruel for crueltys sake. While I hold out hope for Nancy, Savannah and family after a few deadlines that have passed I cannot say it looks good. But will see. What a world!!! We need some good news.

In just a few weeks it will be 7 years since the Watts tragedy that took place August 13th 2018. Where on earth does the time go? Why does it go by so fast???  Within the past 7 years people have searched high and low for NK and many have claimed they've seen her at the gas station, 711, the mall, the beach and shared pictures to prove it. But all of these were like Elvis sitings. Total nonsense....

It's unlikely that there is anyone on earth who by now has not heard the name Gabby Petito. This heartbreaking tale captured the world's attention and through her van life journey and social media posts and the latest Netflix documentary the world got to know and fall in love with her. Gabby was the all American girl who seemed to fully embody all the traits that people admire and aspire to; pure...

The case of Ellen Greenberg is a mystery wrapped in a riddle. The complexity seems on par with Jonbenet or other cases that baffle the public for decades. Like so many other incredibly high profile cases that get massive media attention Ellen also was extremely pretty and seemed to have it all. While it's already been 14 years since the incident the case was recently back in the news with a bombsh...

Sarah Boone was sentenced to life in prison without the eligiblity of parole. This after being offered a 15 year plea deal for which she would have gotten credit for time served and released in only a few more years. While that may have seemed like a raw deal for Sarah and nothing she wanted to seriously consider, an aquittal was highly unlikely. She rolled the dice and lost.   Did Sarah get what...

Sarah Boone's trial has wrapped up and she has been sentenced. This after turning down a gift of 15 years (with time served) believing that she could somehow beat the charges and show the judge, jury and the court of public opinion that it was actually SHE who was the true victim (not the guy who was suffocated in a suitcase while she told him he should probably STFU). Sarah's story is one that ev...

Case closed on Watts. No new updates, but will revisit as needed. This episode if you care to hear about sometihing other than Watts; is about one of the most bizarre and chilling stories I've ever heard. If you are unaware/unfamiliar, on February 24th, 2020, Sarah Boone and Jorge Torres, a couple who lived together were supposedly playing around, having a good time and enjoying each others compan...

It's now been 4 years since that dreaded morning. Like all terrible true crime tales one can wonder how things might have been averted. Was this just inevitable or was there something that could have stopped the Titanic from hitting the iceberg? One wonders how this lovely picture perfect family fell so far so fast and whether this was going to happen no matter what. In this episode I explore some...

Breakdown of the Lifetime episode of Cellmates Secrets featuring who else??? Watts, of course. The episode depicts the perspective of those who got to know him behind bars and a snapshot of the man behind this infamous tragedy. Does it make you like him more/less? Does it make you more sympathetic towards him? Humanize him? Have compassion for him? You decide.

There is a "5 page letter" circulating online which is allegedly writting by Chris. The recipient is unknown. The idea that any words, written or spoken by Chris are perceived as sacred or holy, as though he is unveiling some sort of great truth to be bestowed upon us makes me roll my eyes in the biggest way imagininable. In any case in this episode I discuss this letter and it's contents and give...

Had a great chat with Anita; another dedicated follower of the Watts case. We covered all the basics.

A quick thank you to listeners of the podcast.

When did Chris and Nicole first meet each other? We undersatnd the conventional story that they met through work in or around May/June 2018 so why is there an entry on the timeline search of NK's phone in 2017?

There was a recent article published by the Daily Mail where former inmate in the Dodge Correctional facility (now released) was friendly with Chris and Chris supposedly confided in him sharing all kinds of details about NK as well as the "the big WHY" (as in why'd he do it?). Whether you believe his credibility or that of the article is up to you. I break it down in this episode. You be the judge...

According to several sources the 35C (post conviction relief attempt) has been cancelled. It's over and done! Whats next???? For weeks there had been talk of a 35C and a team of people on Team Chris to expose "the truth" (whatever that is) and find out what REALLY happened and get Chris's some overdue justice??? Why was the 35C cancelled? What's the big news about to drop in the Watts case? Could...

I have heard people relentlessly go off on Nicole K. So much so that it almost felt as though people were more upset with her than Chris, who confessed (multiple times). Why??? Why is SHE perceived as somehow equally as bad, if not worse? Is she bad because people are certain she was involved and got off easy OR is it because they perceive her as a homewrecker or destroyed a family (even though Ch...

There is an ongoing effort to get Chris a 35C (post conviction relief). Numerous parties are vigorously working towards this potential reality. Is this what the world wants, needs, can even fathom???
