The body of a missing pregnant mother has been found hours after her husband confessed to killing her and their two daughters after pretending to not know where they were for days.

The body of Shanann Watts, 34, was found on Thursday at the Andarko oil and gas site where her husband Christopher works near their home in Frederick, Colorado.

The bodies of the children's two daughters Bella, four, and Celeste, three, are yet to be found but police say they know where they are and are in the process of recovering them.

Let’s make sure the taxpayers pay some high price lawyer to plead for a jury to acquit him and pay for him the rest of his natural life or 10 to 20 years in prison so he can surf the net, shoot pool, or just work out .

We can safely assume the killer/monster is a democrat...

That’s for sure. I don’t understand why these people just don’t walk away. Divorce. Abandonment. Running away. There’s all sorts of options other than murder.

Exactly. I can’t imagine what they’re thinking that would make murder an appealing option.

He should have killed himself and left his family alone. Anyone wonder what medications he was on?

If they can’t have ‘em, no one can. That’s the mindset.

Sad and dreadful, nonetheless. RIP.

Maybe they're just exercising their right to post-birth abortion, the next "new civil right."

.
“Walking away” from a family is simply not possible. The suggestion is an oversimplification of the issues.

The animus was most likely a two way street.

This is the sort of thing a pure and genuine atheist could do. Fortunately there are very few of them.

Pictures at the site of them all as a happy family. Horribly sad.

Inhumane behavior. There are segments of our civilization who appear not to have ‘natural’ protective instincts: i.e.

Finding and making a life-long commitment to a spouse for posterity.
Creating offspring and caring for them.
Protecting family from evil doers.
Being loyal to family and friends.
Treating decent people with respect.

The list goes on.

Well, Mrs. Yo-Yo called that one. As soon as she saw him on TV pleading for his wife and children to return, she said “I hope he didn’t kill them.”

How dare you place any of the blame on this on the victim (the wife/mother)! I don't care what she did, she didn't do anything that deserved to be murdered and the children are ABSOLUTELY innocent of anything.

"...I don’t understand why these people don’t just walk away..."


Exactly. This guy could have saved money for a few months and one fine day just awoken, got into his truck, and drive away.
It was likely a miserable marriage, they probably hated each other, and she likely would not wish him back if he voluntarily disappeared.

It seems that there are more sociopaths (or psychopaths) among us than we might have imagined.

we all shouldn't be surprised how crude like this "father" can rationalize their behavior....

its all about me, me, me....

"I'm okay you're okay" attitude in which every single thought or desire one has is legitimate...

its why porn and promiscuity is rampant...why abortion is so easy to "explain away"...

I guess that the gulf between those of us who would imagine doing something like that and those of us who would not is just too far. The children. I can’t imagine.
