Crime Chris Watts, who murdered wife and smothered his little girls as they begged for mercy, lives in fear of fellow inmates: ‘They want to kill him’

Chris Watts is in a hell of his own making as he serves a life sentence in a small cell in at Dodge Correctional Institution in Waupun, Wisconsin. He hardly talks to anyone, instead choosing to read his Bible — and to ponder the wife and two young daughters he ruthlessly murdered in 2018.

The Post has spoken to three people who have had contact with the 39-year-old killer behind bars — and they all say that he lives a sedentary lifestyle, has gained significant weight, and has lost most of his hair.

What’s more, the triple murderer often avoids eye contact with other inmates for his own safety. When he attends Bible studies, he often keeps to himself and doesn’t talk to new people.

“A lot of guys would like to get their hands on him,” said Eddie Nieves, who spent a year at the prison alongside Watts.

“He killed two little girls who didn’t do nothing to deserve it. He’s the lowest of the low at Dodge. A lot of people want to get their revenge for those girls.”
Watts admitted to strangling his pregnant wife Shanann in their Colorado home in August 2018. He then drove her body to a job site at the oil company where he worked and disposed of it.

He returned home and then smothered his daughters — Bella, 4, and Celeste, 3 — as the little girls begged for mercy.

After he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, Colorado prison officials arranged to have him transferred to Wisconsin for his safety.

Watts killed his wife, Shanann, before smothering daughters Celeste and Bella. O'Connor “They protect him at Dodge,” Nieves continues. “If the guards weren’t always around, everyone would take a swing at him.”

Those sentiments are echoed by Watts’ former cellmate from 2018-2020, who said that Watts is often in danger behind bars.

“He’s an outcast,” said Dylan Tallman, who worked on a yet-unpublished devotional book with Watts. “When people found out that his victims were two little girls, they wanted to kill him. He had nowhere else to turn; I think I was his only friend.”

Authorities said Watts committed the murders because he was having an affair with Nichol Kessinger, a co-worker who would later claim that she thought he was already separated.

“Every day, he thinks about what he did,” Tallman said. “He has photos of the girls and he prays for forgiveness every day. But he knows he can’t undo what he did.”

A spokesperson for the Wisconsin Department of Corrections said that Watts has had no scheduled visitors for several weeks. He occasionally receives a pastoral visit. His mother visited him earlier this year.

However, Watts has several prison pen-pals, mostly women.

Dylan Tallman was Watts’ cellmate in 2018-2020. Wisconsin Department of Corrections “At times, when he would talk about the murders, his eyes would turn so black,” his one-time pen pal Cherlyn Cadle told Inside Edition in 2021.

“He just would get a different look on his face, and he talked about it so nonchalantly, like going down to get a cup of coffee.”

“He’s f–ked in the head,” added Nieves. “When you’re in prison with a lot of guys who did really bad things, but you’re still considered the worst person there, you’re just evil.”

Let's hope the faggot one-way trip to hell comes very soon.
 
Cumbrained retard annihilated his own family, his innocent children, for anal with some whore. I hope the inmates crack his skull open. Two girls, his unborn child, and wife. All for fucking nothing.
At least we got some bodycam kino from it.

These trash will take themselves out eventually as well.
 
What's the story behind the murders? I need to know more about this guy to hate him more appropiately. Altough killing a 3yo and a 4yo makes that very easy to understand

EDIT:

Talk about getting ninja'd
 
Don't let anyone kill him, that's the easy way out.

As much as I liked what happened to Dahmer, he deserved to suffer in prison for a long time. Overall I prefer life without parole vs. execution because it is such a prolonged punishment and there is no hope of release aside from death. Most inmates serving a life sentence without parole will agree with me 100%, they'd prefer to be executed.
 
Don't you Americans have a death sentence?
This is the exact type of a person, that you just need to remove.
I'm guessing he took a plea deal to avoid the death penalty. Honestly though I would probably pick death over living the rest of my life looking over my shoulder for the inevitable shank coming my way
 
It's better to have them in death row, but to never announce when you are going to kill them, so that they forever have that anguish of not knowing if the next day would be their last. If there's no risk of them escaping, that is
Isn't that the Japanese approach? That after the final appeal is used up the condemned doesn't know when it's going to happen until the morning of the execution so every morning when they wake up and hear the door to the floor open they don't know if it's breakfast or the jailer coming by to tell him to make his time.

Wisconsin repealed its death penalty in the early 70s, that's the only reason why. Each state has discretion around whether or not to permit the death sentence for capital crimes.

Otherwise this is pretty cut-and-dry capital murder, he'd get death in states with the penalty.

I would think so, but their death sentences are also riddled with appeals and many a killer also got out thanks to insanity pleas. It is far harder to get one there than it is in the US, so you wouldn't get inmates that spend every waking moment that they have trying to sway public opinion to have their sentences lessened. You wouldn't get a Darlei Routier situation there, for example

No they dont retard, why do you think death row inmates fight their cases for decades?

I agree, especially since we can totally trust our beloved police force and DAs to vigilantly seek the truth so they never imprison an innocent man to fulfill some quota for reelection, who could ever imagine this?
