Charges were formally filed against Christopher Watts this afternoon.
What he claims:
It was revealed that Watts did indeed take a page out of Christian Longo's psycho playbook -- he told police that he killed Shanann out of revenge rage after SHE killed their daughters.
Watts claimed he saw Shannan kill her little girls via the baby monitor after he told her he wanted a separation and she couldn't accept it.
Motive:
LE hasn't publicly released what they believe to be the motive.
Based on what's known publicly now, motive is likely similar to Longo's (and Scott Peterson's) too, in my opinion -- he's a narcissist who wanted to be single and free.
The charging document states that police confirmed Watts was actively engaged in an affair with a co-worker, which he initially denied.
