Book 4 in the TWO FACE series, one of the best reviewed, is available now in paperback!
“Book 4 in the K9 series is a must read for those who enjoy well researched and detailed crime narratives. The author does a remarkable job of bringing to life the cold dark horror that is Chris Watts throughout the narrative but especially on the morning in the aftermath of the murders. Chris’s actions are connected by Nick van der Leek’s eloquent use of a timeline to reveal a motive.”

Theme by Anders Noren — Up ↑
What in the world—her middle name is Nichole? How eerie.
I don’t believe a word she said-no proof, nothing to verify, just like with Trent Bolte-another liar looking for their 15 minutes of fame. How convenient, she doesn’t have that phone anymore, doesn’t know the number, doesn’t know the man’s name on Tinder, They supposedly went to her apartment and of course nobody saw them, just a bunch of bs that does nothing for the investigation but fuels the emotional fires of the public. No facts to back these stories up. Also, why didn’t the police give Chris another lie dectector test after he confessed to killing Shanann, after he said she killed their kids? Wouldn’t that have been the next step to get to the truth? Did you know the kids were starting to say derogatory things to Chris that they overheard their mother saying? And that when Shanann told her Facebook live audience the kids slept till 3pm that they were really at daycare? And that Shanann “took care” of the finances and was running them financially into the ground- why were the finances left out of the report- did they even look into them? She was accused of embezzlement with a company, what happened with that? Why weren’t her “health issues” in the report- were they looked into? Did you know she told some people she also had diabetes? Did you know Chris and his dad wanted to facetime with the kids when Shanann was away but were afraid to because Shanann might find out? There’s a whole lot of unanswered questions that leaves a big hole in the truth of why this tragedy happened. I am not saying Chris is not guilty of killing Shanann and it’s appalling how he dumped the bodies, but I really don’t have closure as to who killed the children.
