“Why didn’t he just get a divorce?” Feels like deja vu, doesn’t it? In the three videos at the link below, also the first video, there are a few signature statements by Dulos that are carbon copies of what we heard by Chris Watts during the Sermon on the Porch. Can you pick them out?
See if you can, then leave a comment below. Then scroll down to the end of the videos to get the TCRS assessment.

TCRS ASSESSMENT
It doesn’t take Rocket Science to match Dulos’ words to Watts’ words. It simply takes a working memory. We can thin-slice the semantics by simply matching them, word for word. For example:
1. DULOS [When asked if he had anything to do with Jennifer’s disappeartance]: I’d like to leave it at that…
WATTS [Asked if he got into an argument]: We had an emotional conversation, but...I’ll leave it at that.
2. DULOS: It depends, the people who do not know me, probably look at me as a monster.
Strictly speaking, Watts didn’t use these words during the Sermon on the Porch, but he did refer to himself during his First Confession as”not being a monster” .
3. DULOS: When it first started, I seriously pinched myself a couple of times. And I said, this cannot be true. I’m dreaming. I’m wearing orange [smiles], and I’m in a cell…
Although not verbatim, Dulos is mimicking the same psychology as Watts who told the media it didn’t feel real.
WATTS: It’s just earth-shattering [appearing to smile]…I don’t feel like this is even real right now. It’s like a nightmare [glances left] that I just can’t wake up from.
That’s three, that’s enough. There are other similarities, such as the attitude of pretending to have faith in the authorities while not necessarily assisting the authorities, meaningfully, in their investigation.
A major difference between the Watts case and Dulos case is what appears to be the active involvement of Dulos’ girlfriend as as an accessory of some sort. Another major difference is that Dulos wants custody of his children.
It remains to be seen what the financial circumstances were surrounding this debacle. For those following this case, please feel free to share links, news and comments on this thread as this case unfolds.
Lie Spotting: Test your true crime lie detector nous with the Chris Watts case
They both try to play the victim, when asked if he had anything to do with his wife’s “disappearance” he spouts some bullshit about keeping up the fight (when the fight is clearly against him) and tells us he loves his children. He doesn’t pretend to miss or love her cause I guess they’re going with “she’s out there”. He will be convicted even without a body, IMO. Unlike with Chris, everyone, including her, saw this coming. The only reason it’s being seen in the media as particularly interesting is because they are or appear to be really rich, the question of the degree of the mistress’s involvement, and because they’re fairly attractive. He shares with Chris a quality that you can’t tell if he’s brazen/ arrogant, stupid or both. Unlike Chris though he was controlling and abusive outwardly and she was scared of him, and he “loves” his children, which make him your “average” wife-killer with the exception of involving a woman and having a huge house.
