BREAKING: First Crime Scene Footage INSIDE #2825 Saratoga Trail [UPDATED] #TCRS

The video below has incredible footage from August 13th at around 14:00, actually capturing Watts returning from CERVI 319 [actually he was at another well in the area, but relatively close to the dumping site], and rushing inside ahead of the cops.

Notice how he runs ahead down the basement while everyone else is on the main floor?

Screengrabs below are from the bodycam worn by an officer on Tuesday, August 14, the day after the murders, and shortly before Watts’ infamous Sermon on the Porch.

And then detective Baumhover arrives. Notice Nicolas Atkinson doing his own investigation on the side while Watts is distracted talking to the detective.

Here Watts appears to be almost jogging up the stairs.Fullscreen capture 20181201 144305-001Fullscreen capture 20181201 144622Fullscreen capture 20181201 144630Fullscreen capture 20181201 144647Fullscreen capture 20181201 144700Fullscreen capture 20181201 144713Fullscreen capture 20181201 144718Fullscreen capture 20181201 144413Fullscreen capture 20181201 144426Fullscreen capture 20181201 144739Fullscreen capture 20181201 144439

Notice how the open basement door just over Watts left shoulder [right side of image] jutts out, potentially blocking the Vivint motion sensor to its immediate right.

As Watts is questioned here, he repeats the curling in of the upper lip thing, folds his arms and sways while he’s being asked a few questions. He has his head slightly down, like a naughty child not wanting to make eye contact. Even here his demeanor is so completely, it;s not even close. All those Thrive videos had perhaps given Watts the false idea that he could perform in front of the camera if he had to, and that he was a good actor.

The screengrabs below are from video sourced at this link. In the video one has the impression of a chaotic crime scene with the alarm blaring, Deeter barking the cops stumbling and bumbling about, filling in forms on the kitchen counter etc.

    This webpage includes some shortish videos of the crime scene techs, including one where they are enacting the strangling on one of the children’s beds. Two things that struck me as sad in the videos: (1) poor Dieter running around loose, barking and seeming to be in distress; (2) the packet of Thrive on the bed stand—was Shan’ann hoping to take that in the morning?

    When he’s moving the bodies in Nathan’s video morning of the 13th he’s wearing a short sleeved black t shirt. But when Nickole A. calls him home from work on the 13th as well, he’s wearing a long sleeved gray shirt.

  3. Nick

    Yup. And it’s the middle of summer.

  4. Diana

    Thought I read something about Chris having to wear fire safe clothing to work. Maybe his shirts were required to cover his arms?

  5. Sylvester

    Or maybe he thought ahead and brought a change of clothing. That gray shirt looks as clean as clean can be.

  6. Sylvester

    Also, that’s Nathan T., the next door neighbor, standing in Watt’s garage in the orange hat on the 13th when the police are called. Seeing the police vehicle parked on the street which affects his neighborhood, he would have felt compelled to find out why. It may have been then that he told an officer he has home surveillance cameras trained on the street, around his house, and pointed at side of the Watt’s home. Big bonus!

  7. Shannon

    Why didn’t Chris tell everyone but the cops to get out of his house and off his property.
    It is private property. They had no right coming and going like they did. Also with the news reporters, he could have told them all, get off my property.
    I know it’s a tad late to mention but I thought this months ago.
    Seems strange….he didn’t take control of his home.

    • tbp

      He thought it would appear like he had something to hide. He seemed a bit preoccupied with how others viewed him.

  8. Shannon

    No, I just don’t think he was thinking straight. Idiot Chris I mean.

  9. Sara

    I thought the same about his shirt. When he loaded the bodies he had a short sleeve black shirt on . Like 8 hours later , he came home with a long sleeve grey shirt. Also felt so bad for the little dog . The police seemed to do a great , very professional job. And the was Shannan had put her thrive on her nite stand for the next morning. She had to have been sleeping because she changed her shirt and what they found her in. I noticed the bed was made and only one side had been laid in. The pillow and comforter was all the way up on her side. The monster must of laid in the bed the one nite he stayed in it. I feel like. I knew this family. Sleeping with him beside her for 8 years. Scary! What did he want. He had it all.

    I’ve never seen so many shoes outside a shoe store No wonder they were broke
