🟥 BREAKING NEWS: Chris Watts’ Banned Crime Photos – What He Did to Shanann’s Body Shocked Even the Police

By Investigative Reporter | April 23, 2025

In a horrifying turn of events, newly surfaced banned crime scene photos from the Chris Watts case are shaking the internet — and reigniting public outrage over one of America’s most disturbing family murders in modern history.

The leaked images, which authorities had previously sealed due to their graphic and deeply disturbing nature, reportedly reveal the grim reality of what Chris Watts did to his pregnant wife, Shanann, after he brutally took her life in August 2018. Investigators familiar with the evidence are calling the content “unforgivable,” and some have admitted they had to step away from the scene to compose themselves.

💔From Smiling Father to Cold-Blooded Killer

Chris Watts once presented the image of a loving husband and proud father. But behind that calm smile was a dark, methodical killer. In what authorities now describe as a “pre-meditated execution,” Watts strangled his wife Shanann in their home — while their two young daughters, Bella and Celeste, were just steps away.

According to newly unsealed internal documents and visual evidence, Watts transported Shanann’s body in the back of his work truck, covered with a blanket and wedged between his two daughters — both still alive at the time.

🪦The Grave He Dug With His Own Hands

The crime photos reportedly show the shallow grave Watts dug at an oil field owned by his former employer. The spot, remote and surrounded by equipment, was chosen specifically to avoid detection. But what investigators didn’t expect — and what shook even seasoned detectives — was how he discarded Shanann’s body.

Her remains were found buried in a fetal position, wrapped in a sheet. Shockingly, she had bruises suggesting he dropped her body headfirst into the hole, with no care or humanity. Forensic experts called it “dehumanizing” and “beyond cold.”

📸 “These Should Never Be Public” — Officers React to Leaked Photos

A source inside law enforcement who reviewed the leaked materials told our reporters:

“I’ve worked over 200 homicide cases. I’ve never seen anything like this. The way he discarded her… it’s not just murder — it’s erasure.”

The leaked images also include photos of the oil tanks where he placed the bodies of his two young daughters, each forced through an opening barely 8 inches wide.

One investigator described the images as “some of the most disturbing documentation ever captured in a domestic murder case.”

📬Jailhouse Letters Reveal a Chilling Lack of Remorse

Adding fuel to the fire, jailhouse letters written by Watts over the last year have now surfaced alongside the leaked visuals. In one handwritten note, he describes his actions as being “guided by darkness” and “influenced by an evil presence.”

But perhaps the most haunting detail? He ends one letter with:

“I only wanted silence. I didn’t want anyone to scream.”

🕯️A Nation Haunted, A Family Erased

The Watts family murders have long been regarded as a chilling reminder that evil can wear a familiar face. The resurfacing of these crime photos and letters has sparked new outrage, with many calling for platforms to permanently ban the distribution of the materials out of respect for the victims.

Shanann Watts, 34, was 15 weeks pregnant with a son. Bella, 4, and Celeste, 3, were both described as “joyful, loving girls who adored their father — the man who ultimately betrayed them in the most horrific way possible.”

📢Public Reaction: “This Case Still Haunts Me”

On social media, the reaction has been swift and emotional:

“I saw one of the photos before it was taken down… I’m shaking.”
“How could a human do this to his own family?”
“No amount of time in prison is enough for what Chris Watts did.”

🚨WARNING: Viewer Discretion Advised

Authorities are warning the public not to seek out or share the graphic images, as they were never meant for public release. Legal action is being considered against websites that are circulating the photos.
