Chris Watts

True Crime aficionados have been diligently following the Chris Watts case ever since the first news reports broke, but for others, it was the Netflix documentary that led them to this gruesome and heart-breaking case.

Whilst some will have read all three books in this series, there will no doubt be others who haven't read or watched anything, so we will endeavour to present to you all aspects of the case, from the initial investigation and how it unfolded, to the first and subsequent confessions all transcribed word for word (where possible) from the actual video and audio footage obtained from the FBI's Discovery Files.

During this series we will look at the facts, the police investigation, the evidence, hear Chris Watts' explanation and his reasoning, but for the sake of balance, we will also address the many theories currently in circulation regarding this case and what happened during the early hours of August 13th, 2018.

The Truth within the LIES - Discovering Chris Watts: Part Three – The Theories
For anyone new to this case, the first thing they ask is why? Unfortunately, no amount of reading, or watching, or studying will answer those questions for you. The only person who knows the absolute truth is Chris Watts himself, and to date, and for reasons known only to himself he has refused to confess. 

While he has confessed to much of what transpired, there are so many discrepancies, changed statements, obvious lies, and omissions. 

The online True Crime Community is rife with scenarios and theories and some of them are eye-popping, jaw-droppingly valid. So, we've given you the facts, and now we intend to put forward some of the theories to see if we can work out which truths have been weaved through the lies and vice-versa.

Please note: These theories are not the opinions of the authors and in no way are they saying these events are actually true. But they are most definitely food for thought...
