The nine chilling techniques ‘killer’ dad used to conceal his lies during TV interview pleading for safe return of missing pregnant wife and two daughters
A "KILLER" dad who took part in a TV appeal calling for the safe return of his pregnant wife and kids may have given away nine tell-tale signs of his guilt.
Seemingly calm Chris Watts appeared on US TV to claim he had absolutely no idea where his wife and kids had disappeared to hours before "confessing" to cops.
Shannan, who was 15 weeks pregnant with her third child, disappeared from Frederick, Colorado, on Monday with daughters, Bella, four, and Celeste, three, known as "Cece".
Her husband was filmed outside the family home as he pleaded for the safe return of his missing family - hours before reportedly confessing to killing them.
He looked into the cameras as he said: "I have no idea, like, where they went. I don't feel like this is even real right now. It's like a nightmare I can't wake up from."
During the interview - now seen around the world - he told how he called in the cops after learning his house was deserted.
The FBI and Colorado Bureau of Investigation are also investigating the incident, local legal sources told Denver7.
During the interview, Watts claimed he texted his wife numerous times but didn't get any response which he thought was odd. He then raced home but found it empty and quickly filed a missing persons report with the cops.
He claimed: "I was trying to get home as fast as I can, I was blowing through stop lights. I was blowing through everything just trying to get home as fast as I can because none of this made sense.
"I don't feel like this is even real right now. It's like a nightmare I can't wake up from."
The Frederick Police Department confirmed they had made an arrest "in connection to the missing person's case" of Shannan and her daughters.
