Watts Up? (Chris Watts Family Murder)

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 company, though at some point Jorge ended up locked in a zipped up suitcase unable to break free while Sarah who did or did not purposely arrange this ("I fell asleep", "unintentional!") drunkenly chastised him while he was gasping for air begging to be let out. I'd say this was the plot of a horror movie, but this actually happened.

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 of the what ifs and how things might have potentially gone differently under different circumstances.

The Watts story from the beginning.

In this very special episode I was joined by some incredible new friends and followers of the podcast. Thank you so much Romina, Faith, Drew, Erica, Susan and Marcy. It was great having you join!!!

Join the Wattsup giveaway. Very interested in your theories about the million dollar question; why on earth did Chris (or would anyone for that matter) kill their own children??? It is instinctual to protect our offspring. So what on earth could have caused this to go completely haywire? I have received several very interesting theories so far. Please keep them coming. Deadline to submit your theory is November 30th. After this I will choose one person at random and give them a prize. I also hope to invite a few onto a live zoom on the podcast to discuss further.

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 my two cents.
