Chris Watts spent months in 2018 playing the grieving husband on national television, pleading for the safe return of his pregnant wife Shanann and their two young daughters, before investigators in Frederick, Colorado found all three had been murdered by his own hands. This film traces the case through police interrogation footage, news broadcasts, and interviews that pick apart the gap between Watts's public performance and the affair with a coworker that prosecutors say drove him to kill. It follows the timeline from the initial missing-persons report to Watts's eventual confession and life sentence, using the recorded interrogation as its spine to show investigators slowly dismantling his shifting story. The film stays close to the documented record rather than speculation, letting the discrepancies in Watts's own statements do the work of building the case against him. It is a straightforward account of how a seemingly ordinary family man became one of the most publicized murder cases of the decade.
