Five chilling details Netflix didn’t show in controversial Chris Watts documentary

Netflix’s documentary American Murder: The Family Next Door shocked millions with the chilling story of Chris Watts, who murdered his pregnant wife Shanann and their two daughters, Bella and Celeste, in August 2018. However, the film left out five critical details that further reveal the case’s disturbing depth.

1. Family Tensions:
Shanann’s relationship with Watts’ parents had soured before the murders. She accused his mother of endangering Celeste, who had a severe nut allergy, by serving her ice cream with peanut chips. The tension led to Shanann blocking Watts’ parents on Facebook and them skipping their granddaughter’s birthday and their son’s wedding.

2. Nichol Kessinger’s Obsession:
While the documentary confirmed Watts’ affair with coworker Nichol Kessinger, it didn’t show how intense it became. Just nine days before the murders, Kessinger searched for wedding dresses and articles about marrying a mistress.

3. Other Alleged Affairs:
Watts was rumored to have had other affairs, including with a Tinder date and a male escort named Trent Bolte. Though Watts denied the claims, they were investigated.

4. Frequent Prison Visitor:
After his conviction, Watts received 31 visits from a woman named Anna Nowak in 2019. She was so frequent a visitor that she was once turned away for exceeding daily limits.

5. Shanann Tried to Save Their Marriage:
Despite the issues, Shanann was planning a romantic getaway and arranging childcare for their daughters just days before her death.

These hidden layers make the tragedy even more unsettling than shown on screen.
