Once the room is cleared, prosecutors from the district attorney’s office and the lead detective on the case enter and begin getting the evidence they need.

The video was filmed one week after the court granted prosecutors the right to take the prints, a request that Watts and his defence team fought hard against at the time.

Prosecutors and members of the Fredericks Police Department had already been granted the right to the prints, but filed an order asking that agents from the Colorado Bureau of Investigations also be allowed to do the same given their role in the case.

Watts says very little and has no real interaction as his hands are photographed and printed, after which he is seen washing his hands, reports.

He then takes a long shower after the prints are taken.

Watts was eventually moved to a Colorado facility after a judge ruled he was to serve five life sentences without parole for the murders of Shanann, Celeste and Bella Watts.
