Chris Watts’ parents ‘still love son’ and haven’t told killer about Netflix doc

Chris Watts’ parents Cindy and Ronnie Watts “still love” their son despite him killing their grand kids and daughter in law.

In 2018, Chris brutally killed wife Shannan then took the lives of their two little girls, Bella, four, and three-year-old Celeste, in a horrific attack has been documented in Netflix film American Murder: The Family Next Door.

Chris confessed to killing pregnant Shannan but initially made the horror claim it was because she had killed their children when he told her he was leaving her for his new girlfriend.

Finally he confessed to killing all of them, burying Shannan’s body in a shallow grave and dumping his daughters’ bodies into an oil tank.

Watts was convicted after the astonishing confession and is currently locked up for life at Dodge Correctional Institution, a Waupun Wisconsin prison.

And in a shock interview Chris’ parents have revealed that they have not told their son – who they still love – about the Netflix film and don’t intend to.

Speaking to The Sun, Cindy, 64, said: “Chris doesn’t know anything about the documentary, we told him nothing about it.

“People come up with all these narratives. None of it is true. I’m living it, and I have been living it every single day for two years.”

Cindy went on to add that “there was so much left out” of the one-off episode and that she was “shocked” to see home videos in the film that she would have “preferred” to be kept private.”

“It’s nothing he hasn’t lived through, he saw it, they didn’t even show all the conversations that Christopher had with his dad, they didn’t show anything, there was so much left out.

Ronnie, 63, added that Chris has “not been able to watch it [the documentary], he was never told about it or asked about it”.

The father of the killer added that he and Cindy were asked if they wanted to view the film prior to its release but they decided not to.

He then shared: “We still love our son no matter what and we miss our grand babies. We’re trying to move forward but it’s a very hard task.”
