Great breakdown of this awful human, I can’t imagine what’s it like having to be face to face with someone like this. I wonder if in one of your videos you could explain how psychopaths are able to naturally show emotions like disgust, contempt or anger but not love? I know obviously they don’t feel emotions but why do some flash up and not others?
Please do the Sherri Papini kidnapping. It was questioned if it was faked. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on it. Specifically the husbands interview after she was found alive. Real suspicious stuff in my opinion
I'd love to see your insights on Chris' mother AND especially the mistress, her interviews with police are very telling to me, I'm no expert but her body language and energy is off.
And me. I usually listen without watching the video as I'm doing something else. But his one I had to go back and watch it all. I love you guys. Have you done Dr Birx?
Neighbor Nate was reading the body language right away. He told police Chris was not acting right. He even said "he's rocking back and forth" and "chatty" when he is normally very quiet. Neighbor Nate should have been on this panel with y'all.
Nate knew Chris’s baseline, seeing him behave like that he knew it wasn’t right. The police were new to him, So glad Nate was there and Nicole for not listening to Chris and calling the police.
Shann'an friend Nicole stopped this man dead in his tracks from getting away with this horrific murder ....She was on to him straight away and Chris didn't have a chance to cover his tracks ,clean up the scene etc. .........Everyone needs a friend like her ..
I know I'm gonna come across as a sceptical, but it's seems bleeding obvious what the panel are going to say considering he is banged up for life..right? We need people who are not yet convicted but awaiting trial...then your true worth will surely shine if correct and said person found guilty??
Don't forget the role his neighbour played with his security footage and putting Watts on the spot in front of the police on the day. Him and Nicole were both instrumental in bringing Watts to justice.
@@hopsta5628 Oh for sure ,Nate and his CCTV captured the most important video...But Nicola stopped him hiding Shann'an's phone ,bag, ect and ending this monsters plans in his tracks ....
He was the prime suspect from the get go. Even without the help of Nicole and the neighbour's camera there's no way Chris would have gotten away with it.
@@ViciousViscount Absolutely! From the moment he turned up at the house, ran to the garage and opened her car door ......it was on!! He didn't have time to hide her belongings ,get his story straight because he never counted on anyone reporting her missing apart from himself!
Shannann’s friend, the “good Nikole” Atkinson, is a real one. Chris didn’t even get to enjoy one day of his “new life” because she was all over it. Neighbor Dude with his home cam video was awesome as well. Like everyone came together IMMEDIATELY to nip Chris’s attempt to get away with murder in the bud.
Does anyone else get a massive hit or spike of happy chemicals in their head when they receive a TH-cam notification for a new Behaviour Panel video? 🥰🥰🥰
Gentlemen, at this juncture, even though I didn't think it possible, I hold you all in even higher esteem than ever before. Scott, when you chose to not comment on that one segment, that spoke volumes to me. Chase, when you named Shannan, Bella, and Ce Ce, and stated that you would not be saying his name, I was deeply touched. The fact that all of you have been doing this professionally for decades, yet are not hardened to you cores to the point where you are unfeeling for victims, is a testimony to your values. Thank you for being the men that you are and sharing your expertise and snippets of yourselves with us.
Please do an analysis of his mother Cindy Watts. She’s a piece of work. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts about her influence on the way Chris turned out.
aye, there's the rub. An armchair diagnosis, I know, but after listening to just a few minutes of Cindy's first phone call to Chis after he was locked up, I was convinced she's a raging narc and Chris is her golden child. A book written before this horror occurred explains the dynamic: "Men who are psychologically possessed by narcissistic mothers have great difficulty with emotional intimacies. Their relationships are likely to be shallow and perfunctory. On a subconscious level, they always belong to their mothers. Narcissistic mothers resent and reject every woman their golden sons date. Believing their property is being stolen from them, all out wars will be waged. Women who stick around are subject to a cruel and endless battle. Golden sons experience tremendous emotional conflict. Repressed anger lies just below the surface of these men. While they are completely devoted to their mothers, they harbor terrible resentments against them for destroying their lives and relationships. Since they cannot lash out at their mothers, other women become targets of their aggression." From the book Close Encounters of the Worst Kind
What satisfies me about this whole nightmare created by this monster is that he didn't get ONE SECOND to breathe in this "new life" he created. Thanks to her best friend, it was nothing but a constant state of unease and chaos for him. Karma was quick to the punch with this guy and I'm thrilled that he didn't get a minute to himself.
Scott’s disgust when Chris was smiling about his kids being gone is so relatable. You can see his inner dad wanting to slap Chris around...and I feel that to the core. I know it’s not technically appropriate for a behavioral analysis, but it’s nice to see every once and awhile. Wonderful behavioral video once again gentlemen.
Not so much inappropriate, your doing your own reading of Scott 😆 , I concur with you and him rage runs right through me, an I’m pretty placid , (there’s a scene in ‘Law abiding citizen’) at the start he does it to his families killer....that needs done to these people, the worms gotta eat right 😝 ...storing them in prison does no good, just means tax payers and the families pay to keep them alive..double loss and a slap in the face to them totally wrong, once the line crossed (he crossed at least 5) wife/ 3 kids being 4 and breaking family love/trust is 1
I am reading Chase's new book and it is fantastic! I have bought books by each of the panel members as a way to thank them for the hours of free entertainment they provide.
The neighbor was the best detective in all this. He told the officer, “He’s not acting right “. And, he also pointed out that CW was talking about what he was loading into the truck, and not talking about his missing family. He was spot on!!
I like when you throw in clips with a voice-over as you’re explaining something. Because it’s a lot and it’s hard to remember everything that’s referenced by the time a clip is shown.
We all knew something wasn't right when we watched him being interviewed. We just didn't know WHY he wasn't right. Thanks for educating us, guys. It's fascinating.
I live in Frederick and I personally know the first responding officer, and none of them were fooled for even a second by this monster. Despite his attempted deception, they had his number from the beginning. So all respect to our local officers. They do a great job. Thanks to them and the CBI for putting this bastard away forever.
Heck the police didn’t even have to try this (dumb monster 👺 ) gave his self away with out any help…😂🤥… trying to say she went on a play date with the girls .Right and she didn’t even take the car or the car sits for the girl,s and didn’t take her purse, phone,keys or nothing and she was 15 weeks pregnant…and had a dr. Appointment…. That morning and missed it.. I mean how dumb can a person get…. That right there they knew he was lying 🤥
I agree with you! I also think he wasn’t counting on the police getting involved so quickly. Thanks to SW’s friend Nicole. He didn’t have enough time to entirely cover his tracks. 🧐
Any father would be showing pics of his kids and wife, saying their names. Pleading, "Please help, these are photos of my family if you can be aware and call 911 if you see anybody that remotely looks like them! Please help find my family!"
Love this panel. Just started the Body Language Tactics course and working on developing observation skills. I noticed my dog walking around with her lip stuck on her teeth on one side and recognized contempt right away! 😛
I really think that Chris planned to do more to cover his tracks, but he was thwarted by Shannan's friend. Chris never thought she'd show up with the cops at 9:30 in the morning, wondering where tf Shannan was, why she didn't go to her OB appointment, etc . . . Chris also didn't plan on neighbor Nate and his front door camera.
Yes he had to confront the friend,neighbor,cops and detectives hours after the killings! They all suspect him. That rocking back and forth,darting eyes and lip licking wtf!!??
TOTALLY!!! The ring was part of it to say she left him. He would have put sheets on the beds. Get rid of her phone. He didn't take it because of GPS. Her friend busted him and the neighbor that confirmed no one left or came to the house. Was he going to ditch her car too?
@@gabehayes1833 Shannon's car with the baby seat and that asthma meds were real nails in his coffin also. He went from dead family bodies to cops in about four hours, yes? I have watched this several times and keep seeing new details.
I don't think most normal people could not, not have feelings about such a hideous human. I think they just take that into account and stay strict to their deception analysis.
I was recovering from surgery, and watched the entire trial. It is beyond me how that jury got it SO wrong. I think even the least educated could instinctively detect her “cray-cray”...but then again, she had a boyfriend. Her Mom still believes her, or pretends to. I just can’t.
Another thing... presumably this interview is supposed to be his opportunity to speak to the public for help. No names given, no pictures, no desperation. He’s treating it like an interrogation. Emotionally it’s all so off.
Yes, I never thought about pictures... in that situation I’m sure one would be trying to show people what they looked like, just in case they had been seen anywhere. He would have said their names over and over, and begged their return.
Chris Watts is a monster. I cannot imagine the horrors his pregnant wife Shannan and poor little Bella and CeCe experienced by the man who should have protected them. I hope he never gets out!
@@americansaga4849 The cops would have eventually questioned neighbor Nate, seen the truck footage, learned that the truck had GPS and that he went to the oil battery site. The bodies would have inevitably been found. They didn't need Nicole, she just accelerated and expidited the process.
The “Kessinger Tapes” have finally been released. Actual video of Nicole Kessinger’s interview with police, rather than only the voice recordings which is we’ve had access to in the last four years. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! Y’all, I need your analysis of her body language on these tapes, because nobody does it better than the Behavior Panel 😁
Hey Darlene. See my comment above. Begging them for the same! She absolutely should have AT LEAST been charged with destruction of evidence and lying to both state and federal investigators. She is downright diabolical!!! They are all four awesome! I agree!
i remember watching this broadcast live at the time and thinking, _I, I, I, me, me me, I, I, I - Why is he making this entire thing all about him?_ and getting a very unsettled feeling about it.
That woman’s best friend solved her murder. She knew her friend. She knew something was up before the husband had a chance to cover his tracks. She might not have been able to save all those lives but if she hadn’t advocated for her friend we might not have ever known what happened to everybody. That is a good friend.
You’re absolutely right. She threw a wrench in all his plans. I wonder what his next steps would have been if her friend didn’t sound the alarm so early. Thank god for her, thank god for the prenatal appointment Shannan had scheduled for that day, and thank god chris is not nearly as smart as he thinks he is.
@@annakoon5563 I know! I'm not sure who he thought he was fooling but it didn't go unnoticed. There's a difference between the nervous laugh and the guilty laugh.
Scott, when you were slowing down the clip and replaying it while you were talking I was so uncomfortable. I don’t know why, but something about his facial movements there slowed down was so disturbing, but highly effective at showing what you were explaining.
When he was at police station and they gave him pizza, he ate the pizza alone in the interrogation room and a picture of his wife and two daughters on table. His back was to the cam but you could see he was eating the pizza, looking at photo and zero emotion. It was almost as if you could feel his satisfaction they were dead. Was very unsettling
I genuinely believe he's not feeling anything. To me, he seems like an unintelligent, unfeeling, bumbling idiot. All he does in that pizza situation is act for the cops and feign grief or love for his family. He does that multiple times. Watches videos of his kids on full volume, shows pictures to police. And when they ask him why he hasn't been crying, he immediately starts to. He's faking it all.
Chris watts could have eaten pizza for breakfast Immediately after murdering his family and disposing of their bodies the way he did, this is what a psychopath does. A murdering psychopath has no problem even dismembering someone they supposedly love, and then immediately eating a pizza after the horrid act.
When he says...”knowing I will not see the kids cuddling up on their couches, and knowing I won’t get to tuck them into bed”...was interesting to me. At any moment Shanann and the children could’ve still walked in the door, if they were alive. But he KNEW they would never do so again. 😡
@@Fee212 Chris Watts is a "born again" CHRISTIAN!!! Don't blame Satan when he proudly identifies as a follower of Christ. Recognize that he is a terrible person on his own merits and religion had NOTHING to do with this case! Don't scapegoat an imaginary force to lighten the burden of HIS crimes
@@sylviapuppysticker8664 Watts is a pathological liar, murderer and Satan's son to be sure. I can say I'm Queen of Zamoonda.... Doesn't make it true. Open your eyes girl. 😆 🤪 🤣
I don’t know about all of THAT (LOL!) but it is a really good voice. It’s relaxing and soothing even but not boring. He would be a good reader for audio books. Or a hypnotist haha!
Excellent analysis. This case is so devastating. The “why” is never materialized in this case. He is a sick evil monster. His poor family deserved so much better than this monster.
@@TheBehaviorPanel I've left a couple msgs under comments. About an open case about these three little boys after being with their father have disappeared. So now he is in prison for holding them. And this has been going on for 11 or 12 years. The case is about the Skelton brothers and their disappearence. I realize it will be a lot of work as his parents had something to do with the kids being missing. And the mother is definitely not squeaky clean. And finally the father giving them to a group of amish that he doesn't really even know who they are.. so much online interviews with all of them. And if course they are all alive. Even the courts claim the boys are alive as he's not imprisoned for murder but some kind of imprisonment against their will. I feel he murdered his boys after watching so many of his interviews. But I'm not sure after more if the facts come out with his parents involvement and the mothers shady background. So for these boys please give it a look at. The Skelton brothers.
Hi guys. This one was difficult to watch and listen to. So I must acknowledge what a challenge it must have been for all of you. I respect that Scott and Chase could not completely put aside their disgust for the horrific acts this person committed against four souls... Also, thankyou for elevating the identity of the victims and not naming the perpetrator. T :)
Now, please do Chris' Mom, she's a piece of work. I am curious if she seems to actually believe what she says or if she appears to be deceptive. Thanks, Gentlemen! 👍
OMG, have I just died and gone to heaven, I've been praying you would do this one...............THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THANK YOU.................. I need too calm down so I can watch it.
Same! Lord, I wish they’d do a whole series on this case. Plenty of sketchy people/interviews they could do a segment on: The “mistress”, Cindy and Ronnie Watts, DA Rourke, and the list goes on and on.
@@Modancin272 I agree, they could do hours and hours of the Watts family alone, it would be so telling, there's so much going on with these people, it would make your head explode.
To the panel: Once I was approached at work by police, my boss told me they needed to speak to me in the hall. I was so terrified something had happened to my children , my legs gave out, and i was unable to speak for a bit. It turned out to be a parking problem. Looking at Chris Watts smile like the wolf in Little Red Riding Hood makes me remember that moment with the police. He makes my blood run cold and gives me a fight or flight response.
his body language is really off the scale, when he's in the neighbors house which is recorded by the body camera wearing police officer , as they are looking at the security cam footage, on the TV.. do a video on that clip!!! it's truly demented
@@flowergirlphillips756 actually the real reason he has his hands up like that, is anxiety, and breathing, it was explained in another vid I watched, he's trying to draw as much air into his body as possible, similar to marathon runners at the end of a race, they do the same thing as they slow down
I just submitted a forensic psychology paper (Chris Watts is my subject) and referenced a helluva lot of the Behavior Panel's info. Thanks so much for your input and amazing wealth of knowledge in this field.
The more of these I watch, the less I interrupt people - I'm too busy watching them while their lips are moving and figuring their baseline and asking myself if they could be deviating from that... Just that change of interrupting less has taught me so much more and made me much more observant, as well as more directly responsive to those around me. In good ways for the best of the relationships around me. Thank you!
Yes this was such an odd way to word it. The normal way would be ‘no one was home’ . No one meaning people whereas nothing meaning ‘things.’ And home denoting a sense of warmth between the people that lived there, whereas ‘house’ again is just a ‘thing’.
Please let your son know that I continue to pray for all of his co-workers (except NK) and Shannon's family too. Listening to some of his co-workers interviews on TH-cam broke my heart.
The smiling over his family missing is monstrous. To him it’s like they’re playing a game of hide and seek and they’ve found a really good hiding spot and he just can’t seem to find them anywhere. “Come out now guys, you’ve won”
There is a clinical explanation for what he did. I am not a psychologist but this man is a sociopath and a narcissist. Sociopaths are generally able to function in society and they only care about themselves. Their lives are spent in constant pursuit of narcissist supply. It’s kind of like what fuels their lives. They fall in and out of love very quickly. They fall out of love when their partner no longer is able to give them their narcissistic supply. They see their children as a way for them to prove to the world what a good parent they are, and for others to complement them for being a great parent. They aren’t motivated by real love for the child. It explains why he killed the children. They were no longer giving him the narcissistic supply he needed. Nicole Kessinger was his new source, and BOY did she ever dodge a bullet. So for him there was literally no emotion whatsoever regarding the killing of his family. He has even admitted it. He did it with all the emotion that you or I would have toward picking up our clothes at the dry cleaners.
@@perryegolson833 ummm...I have a friends who is diagnosed with being sociopathic but she loves her daughter and her friends and family and actually shows real love...let’s not paint sociopaths as these soulless murderers...they can learn and adapt and Have feelings
"Daddy don't do to me what you just did to CeCe" - Bella's last words after Celeste was smothered by her favorite blanky after a car ride (probably with their feet resting on their mother's corpse) to their fathers worksite
I best love the bloopers and you all picking on Chase and his microphone being off. Keep making these videos as they are fascinating! Thank you, Gentlemen!
Well, I'm hooked on you guys. I LOVE the banter before the videos, I think the whistling is hilarious, too. You guys explain every little movement and are very thorough. I LOVE your channel!
As a mom who has all boys (adults now), I was thinking I usually said my "boys", he kept saying the "kids", sorta like he is distancing himself from the girls
Any chance you guys can cover his girlfriend? Her role is still unclear but causes some strong gutt reactions to many many of your fans. Might be more interesting since we can’t use hindsight
I agree. Sometimes she seemed really scared to know he could do this and other times just annoyed to be involved in the procedure like, it wasn't me leave me alone. I'd love to see their opinions.
Too bad we only have one visual interview with NK...and that interview is from a far away angle. I’m sure if you could read her expressions, murder would be written all over her face.
The misstress' interview was strange. I remember reading that she has some kind of personality disorder so that could have been it. She kept flirting with the officer and drawing out every word in her answers. "Chris is a dddaaaaaadddddd". She sounded fake.
I always thought him saying he wished the kids would come through the door and barrel roll him. Since he hid them in barrels/containers, was some interesting leakage.
I agree that he thought he’d have more time to get his act together, maybe even days. I’m surprised there wasn’t more blatant evidence around the home, since the police were already there with the BFF when he ran home. He definitely wasn’t prepared for that.
Her parents said they knew it was him immediately from watching that interview. They told police to track his van GPS and find their family 😔😔 This case is so heartbreaking those poor babies 😢 💔
My teenage son once disappeared for more than 24 hours. Hell is not enough to describe it. If I had been interviewed my hair would have been unkempt, my clothes rumpled because I didn't sleep and I am sure my face would have had a haunted look.
As great as these guys are & as much as I appreciate their material, I wish instead of showing their faces, they would make their comments about the behavior while we’re watching the suspect talking. This would allow more material & eliminate watching the same video twice. Thanks guys we love your videos.
I guess, as professionals they need to emotionally completely detach themselves, like the officers who have to deal with the crime scene. The greatest punishment for this deranged individual would be to lock him in a dungeon, throw the key away and any means of communication and never mention the name again.
When I watched the CW interview, I literally yelled at the TV, “ You did it! You’re lying thru your teeth!” However, I could not even articulate why I knew- I just knew. Thank you so much for giving such concrete explanations and validating my initial reaction. I love your channel!
Yes! I did, too. I had the same reaction when I heard the initial interview with Susan Smith (the woman they referenced who put her kids in the car and had the car drive them into the lake). I knew she had done it by what she had said and, in that case, I even knew specific things she said that were so totally off. I was completely unsurprised when it turned out she was guilty. It would be fascinating to watch that interview now.
Rewatching this for the third time now, it never fails to amaze me how (initially) he looks like a normal functional good looking guy with his whole life ahead of him - and it’s so jaw dropping what a callous monster he is.
Such a sad case, but i also have such disgust for this monster. I've seen a few interviews with this creature he's beyond human I really can't articulate the absolute hate (?) I feel for him. I think it's beyond hate...but i can't think of anything harsher.
That was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC, the level of detail you went into was amazing, I will definitely watch this one over and over. It would be very interesting if you did his mother's TV interview. Thank you, I love this channel.
I have learned a lot from watching The Behavior Panel. The two Chris Watts videos are so crammed with his weird psychopathic behavior, that the both episodes turn into excellent teaching opportunities. Greg, Scott, Chase, and Mark are all over this scumbag’s body language and it is AWESOME! A heart felt “Thank You” to The Behavior Panel for your hard work and dedication to this art form. You guys are smart, talented and work well together. Each of you brings a different perspective to the analysis, coupled with positive energy and humor. I am a fan for sure! You guys ROCK!🎶
Could you do a segment on Jeffery MacDonald? He still maintains his innocence. His murders are eerily similar to Chris Watts. Don’t know if you’ll be able to find any footage of him but if you do he would be a great subject.
I’ve panicked and frantically searched for my cat harder than this guy panicked and searched for his pregnant wife and small children. He called 3 times!... any normal person would be constantly calling a million times! They would be desperately pleading for help!!
He wasn't doing any of that because he knew they were dead. It shows his psycopathic nature that he can even act 'normally', but he is not a good enough actor to fake remorse and anxiety - because he just hasn't got them in him. A man that can do what he did to his pregnant wife and two very sweet little girls is beyond redemption, he is a monster in human form. Later in the police station he breaks down crying, but he wasn't crying for his murdered family, he was crying for himself because he knew that the police had him cornered. Then the most despicable act - he blames his murdered wife for killing their daughters. It is a damned pity that he got off the death penalty by confessing.
In the clip where he is mentioning missing the girls, it seems him mentioning characters is a resume’ statement. He’s saying, “Look I’m a good dad. I even know the characters they like.”
Which is funny because shanaan built that confidence in him lol and it obviously was good enough for him he killed the one person he thought he mastered. He had so much more to learn about her and he shut down from continuing to learn about beautiful shanaan. If he would have taken to heart her life force and his kids that response would have not been so confidence. He’s a piece of shit! Sadly nothing in life was forced down his throat. Most people emotionally neglected unknowingly has a uncanny loyalty to the very people that neglected him because they think it’s normal. It’s no excuse but the very people that did this to him excuse him even from this behavior they blame his victim. It’s a bad human.
Chris smiles so inappropriately at moments he shouldn't be smiling, it makes the watcher feel really uncomfortable because it is SO incredibly insincere ... its painfully dishonest 😢 to watch.
I've watched this a few times, and it just occurred to me that he's not even got a picture of his family, as many do when a child or wife is missing. They usually hold the picture in a frame or wanted posters and show the image so that everyone could see their faces. His complete unfeeling affect is shocking. He's not even TRYING to look upset! Love you guys! I never mind watching repeat episodes. I just wish I could give you a new "Like" each time I watch.
OMG. This is like a personality from my past who took out a 500,000$ life insurance policy which covered suicide on me. I luckily ran to where he wouldn't find me at the time. Had never encountered this type of stuff before. Three mental professionals, one pastor and one lawyer saw him for what he is...And saved my life.
Wow good thing you got away from that one. He sounds like a piece of work. I hope you never in your life run into the likes of him again. Amazing how people can have no conscious and are so evil.
That seems so strange that that is even legal? I could understand a business partnership where they both go in and sign the paperwork in front of a JP but to be able to just insure someones life without them knowing is just. ……dangerous.
"Like, like, like, like, like, like , like ..." ~ Chris Watts, 2018 I'm absolutely stunned Chris was able to get a woman with so much going on like Shan'Ann. She was beautiful, smart, hard working, loyal, devoted to her family and never had a harsh word to say about Chris on her FB videos. I just can't understand what she ever saw in him. His cracking voice screams guilty to me. I hope he remembers every bad choice he made about the demise of his family until his dying breath, because they all were choices he chose to make.
Chris was a shy guy that had charisma....that was different than her last relationship. She was abused in her last marriage and he stuck by her at her worst.
That was a really good one gents. @Scott It's really helpful when you play those videos in slowmo and talk us through it while it is playing. Thanks for that! Looking forward to the next one. 😀
Hey you guys! You are great. I’m a family foster care specialist working with abused children. Body language has always fascinated me and this helps me so much with looking at/observing alleged abusers.
Makes me sick to watch him talk about his supposedly tortuous first night at home without the kids, laughing over how they missed dinner, actually LAUGHING, telling us how much HE was impacted and what HE needed - all about him. And all the while knowing they he killed them and dumped their lifeless bodies in oil tanks the very morning before. Absolutely sickening. If he's not a complete sociopath, I don't know what is.
@@louettesommers8594 I think Chris was a mama's boy and it carried over into his adult life with his wife. Seems Chris was always doing whatever Shannon told him to do and he would absolutely not take issue with any of her text messages. I mean he would agree with her even when she was putting him down and being mean! And soooo apologetic! I think she could be a little b*tchy and boss him around a lot, but that's no excuse for murder. I would venture to guess his mother bossed him around the same way. It's interesting that Nikki (her friend that called 911) said that Shannan told her she had not seen Chris act so cold to her "since his parents didn't come to their wedding". And Shannan had just had another terrible fight with his mother. Could this have been a battle between the two women in his life that helped drive him to murder?
Listening to him describe "missing them" and the things he wished he could do is CHILLING esp after his confession of feeling NO REMORSE at all and how the hardest part for him was to pretend to care. SICK!!!
This case is absolutely terrifying. I remember seeing this interview on the news before he was ever accused/convicted of his crimes. As a lay person, empathetic individual, and general optimist - I admit I did not think him capable of harming his family. I did note how he turned the interview into being about him, but gave him the benefit of the doubt because he LOOKS like a decent human being. Not only did he have acquaintances in his life fooled, but he had his wife completely fooled. She would have never married him, had children with him, or entrusted her baby girls in his care if she knew what he was and what he was capable of. If you watch videos of them - I got the impression she was a strong personality type who grew annoyed with his lack of direction and emotional unintelligence (just overall unintelligence period). It also makes sense why he gravitated to Shanann because she was so emotionally expressive. She gave him a template to go off of. He needed an example of how a human being behaves because he himself has no idea. Anyone who could do that to their baby girls is an absolute monster. Just a waste of a human shell. And, typically when I read or see situations that try to paint an individual as suffering with NPD or malignant narcissism - I am skeptic. Because that diagnosis is tossed around way too much in this day and age. I also firmly feel that people are complex and operate on a continuum. To sum someone up with a psych diagnosis (depending on the situation/case) seems both unfair and counter productive. But, in this situation (and as a humble, lay person) I cannot imagine a better example of malignant narcissism and psychopathy. Chris Watts has no history of displaying these diagnoses either, which makes it all the more frightening. I read somewhere that the thrill/addiction/limerence that can go into a new love affair can also greatly alter ones ability to operate rationally. But, I cannot imagine that would outweigh the life value of his children that he killed so violently and disposed of with such cruelty. There was something underlying there, that had always been there, and that everyone just missed. If you haven't already, you should do body language analysis on Casey Anthony. That is another case that makes my blood boil.
Really? I have never seen a worse liar in my life. I knew from the getgo he had killed his family. Even without evidence. The way he stumbles over his words speaks for itself.
Mr Watts just wasn't counting on ShanAnn's dear friend who was picking her up for a doctor's appointment. If only he had asked his wife what she was up to today after she arrived home at around 02:00 am that morning. His heard is almost spinning, hey. Can you imagine what went through his head when they called him to ask about the whereabouts of his family? Sometimes I wish I was a mindreader! Loving your work more and more guys, Love Annie Brown, West Aussie.
Omg 😳 So freaking happy you just posted this !!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌 If you listen to the police recordings of the woman he was having an affair with for weeks whilst shannan was in north carolina she says like so many times in her sentences its painful 😣
How did he know he wasnt going to see them that night? Or turn their light on? If they were simply missing, they could've turned up at any time. He KNEW they werent coming back

Great breakdown of this awful human, I can’t imagine what’s it like having to be face to face with someone like this. I wonder if in one of your videos you could explain how psychopaths are able to naturally show emotions like disgust, contempt or anger but not love? I know obviously they don’t feel emotions but why do some flash up and not others?
This is great guys!! my husband says he's noticed some people's lips go white when they are angry... is this true? why would this be?
Please do the Sherri Papini kidnapping. It was questioned if it was faked. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on it. Specifically the husbands interview after she was found alive. Real suspicious stuff in my opinion
You should evaluate the interview of Chris Watt’s mother.
I'd love to see your insights on Chris' mother AND especially the mistress, her interviews with police are very telling to me, I'm no expert but her body language and energy is off.
Who else is totally fascinated with and hooked on this program👍👍
i am - learning so much !
Me too
Me too! Absolutely love this show.
Meee!! I love these guys. They’re incredible.
And me.
I usually listen without watching the video as I'm doing something else. But his one I had to go back and watch it all.
I love you guys.
Have you done Dr Birx?
Neighbor Nate was reading the body language right away. He told police Chris was not acting right. He even said "he's rocking back and forth" and "chatty" when he is normally very quiet. Neighbor Nate should have been on this panel with y'all.
Yes Neighbour called it immediately! Legend!
Exactly what I thought! So all it takes is some sort of common sense to be an "expert".
@@bavros1998 A bit more than common sense!
I’d have liked to see the guys comment on the neighbor pointing that out to the cop. Like a last minute add on the end of this video.
Nate knew Chris’s baseline, seeing him behave like that he knew it wasn’t right. The police were new to him, So glad Nate was there and Nicole for not listening to Chris and calling the police.
Shann'an friend Nicole stopped this man dead in his tracks from getting away with this horrific murder ....She was on to him straight away and Chris didn't have a chance to cover his tracks ,clean up the scene etc. .........Everyone needs a friend like her ..
I know I'm gonna come across as a sceptical, but it's seems bleeding obvious what the panel are going to say considering he is banged up for life..right? We need people who are not yet convicted but awaiting trial...then your true worth will surely shine if correct and said person found guilty??
Don't forget the role his neighbour played with his security footage and putting Watts on the spot in front of the police on the day.
Him and Nicole were both instrumental in bringing Watts to justice.
@@hopsta5628 Oh for sure ,Nate and his CCTV captured the most important video...But Nicola stopped him hiding Shann'an's phone ,bag, ect and ending this monsters plans in his tracks ....
He was the prime suspect from the get go. Even without the help of Nicole and the neighbour's camera there's no way Chris would have gotten away with it.
@@ViciousViscount Absolutely! From the moment he turned up at the house, ran to the garage and opened her car door ......it was on!! He didn't have time to hide her belongings ,get his story straight because he never counted on anyone reporting her missing apart from himself!
Shannann’s friend, the “good Nikole” Atkinson, is a real one. Chris didn’t even get to enjoy one day of his “new life” because she was all over it. Neighbor Dude with his home cam video was awesome as well. Like everyone came together IMMEDIATELY to nip Chris’s attempt to get away with murder in the bud.
Does anyone else get a massive hit or spike of happy chemicals in their head when they receive a TH-cam notification for a new Behaviour Panel video? 🥰🥰🥰
Me, one of my lockdown favourites
Every time!
Absolutely.
Yes! Original quality content is so rare these days , BP really shines through.
Quality A+
Gentlemen, at this juncture, even though I didn't think it possible, I hold you all in even higher esteem than ever before. Scott, when you chose to not comment on that one segment, that spoke volumes to me. Chase, when you named Shannan, Bella, and Ce Ce, and stated that you would not be saying his name, I was deeply touched. The fact that all of you have been doing this professionally for decades, yet are not hardened to you cores to the point where you are unfeeling for victims, is a testimony to your values. Thank you for being the men that you are and sharing your expertise and snippets of yourselves with us.
Beautiful comment. I agree⚘
@@zovalentine7305 Me too. Wouldn't you love them to decipher and call out the mistress?
You spoke for many of us !
So beautifully said and so on point. Love these guys 🖤
@@laur131306 - Thank you. It doesn't happen often, but I did nail it with this comment. I hope that the guys read it and your response.
Please do an analysis of his mother Cindy Watts. She’s a piece of work. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts about her influence on the way Chris turned out.
@Hedgehag Agreed
Oh funny, I want to see the other side and the behaviour of Shanon on her fb posts.
I can recommend you the channel Live abuse free - she has some very good videos on Chris & the Watts family dynamic & and also about Cindy Watts.
aye, there's the rub.
An armchair diagnosis, I know, but after listening to just a few minutes of Cindy's first phone call to Chis after he was locked up, I was convinced she's a raging narc and Chris is her golden child. A book written before this horror occurred explains the dynamic:
"Men who are psychologically possessed by narcissistic mothers have great difficulty with emotional intimacies. Their relationships are likely to be shallow and perfunctory. On a subconscious level, they always belong to their mothers.
Narcissistic mothers resent and reject every woman their golden sons date. Believing their property is being stolen from them, all out wars will be waged. Women who stick around are subject to a cruel and endless battle.
Golden sons experience tremendous emotional conflict. Repressed anger lies just below the surface of these men. While they are completely devoted to their mothers, they harbor terrible resentments against them for destroying their lives and relationships.
Since they cannot lash out at their mothers, other women become targets of their aggression."
From the book Close Encounters of the Worst Kind
@@memokh6587 Good Lord Memo I believe you solved it! Three paragraphs that might have saved 4 lives if it were read and believed.
What satisfies me about this whole nightmare created by this monster is that he didn't get ONE SECOND to breathe in this "new life" he created. Thanks to her best friend, it was nothing but a constant state of unease and chaos for him. Karma was quick to the punch with this guy and I'm thrilled that he didn't get a minute to himself.
What a bestie. She really brought justice for her friend and those poor babies
Scott’s disgust when Chris was smiling about his kids being gone is so relatable. You can see his inner dad wanting to slap Chris around...and I feel that to the core. I know it’s not technically appropriate for a behavioral analysis, but it’s nice to see every once and awhile. Wonderful behavioral video once again gentlemen.
Same here!
Same.
Not so much inappropriate, your doing your own reading of Scott 😆 , I concur with you and him rage runs right through me, an I’m pretty placid , (there’s a scene in ‘Law abiding citizen’) at the start he does it to his families killer....that needs done to these people, the worms gotta eat right 😝 ...storing them in prison does no good, just means tax payers and the families pay to keep them alive..double loss and a slap in the face to them totally wrong, once the line crossed (he crossed at least 5) wife/ 3 kids being 4 and breaking family love/trust is 1
Me too. With Scott on this!!!
I am reading Chase's new book and it is fantastic! I have bought books by each of the panel members as a way to thank them for the hours of free entertainment they provide.
Me too!
I do the same because I like these guys but they don't do this for free. They make money just by you watching this video with 6 ads in it 👍
@@closealltabs7083 I meant the entertainment is free for me.
I've been meaning to do the same good to know thx!
We really appreciate you doing that. Thanks!
The neighbor was the best detective in all this. He told the officer, “He’s not acting right “. And, he also pointed out that CW was talking about what he was loading into the truck, and not talking about his missing family. He was spot on!!
That guy is no fool
How can he not be tormented and destroyed by what he did to his family, especially his children? This is mind blowing to me.
He's a psychopath. They don't have feelings.
I like when you throw in clips with a voice-over as you’re explaining something. Because it’s a lot and it’s hard to remember everything that’s referenced by the time a clip is shown.
Superb editing also!
Yes!!!
Yes. I like to see the visual as their speaking
Yes please
Do this MORE PLEASE !!!!!!!!
I also could listen to Mark Bowden all day. He has stood out and won my trust. 😄
😂👌
They all have!
Ahaha! Brilliant!! 😝
Yes, the charisma is strong with this one
Love Mark!
We all knew something wasn't right when we watched him being interviewed. We just didn't know WHY he wasn't right. Thanks for educating us, guys. It's fascinating.
Absolutely fascinating
So true
I agree, only I did have that gut feeling of he did this, he was just too obvious.
I live in Frederick and I personally know the first responding officer, and none of them were fooled for even a second by this monster. Despite his attempted deception, they had his number from the beginning. So all respect to our local officers. They do a great job. Thanks to them and the CBI for putting this bastard away forever.
Heck the police didn’t even have to try this (dumb monster 👺 ) gave his self away with out any help…😂🤥… trying to say she went on a play date with the girls .Right and she didn’t even take the car or the car sits for the girl,s and didn’t take her purse, phone,keys or nothing and she was 15 weeks pregnant…and had a dr. Appointment…. That morning and missed it.. I mean how dumb can a person get…. That right there they knew he was lying 🤥
I agree with you! I also think he wasn’t counting on the police getting involved so quickly. Thanks to SW’s friend Nicole. He didn’t have enough time to entirely cover his tracks. 🧐
@@sassygirl5422& didn't take the Epi pen.
I’m in England and can’t get this case out of my head , the officers were brilliant much credit to them
Because he's a tool.
Any father would be showing pics of his kids and wife, saying their names. Pleading, "Please help, these are photos of my family if you can be aware and call 911 if you see anybody that remotely looks like them! Please help find my family!"
really creepy, that hes actually smiling through it. he seems more concerned that hes going to have to escape from being arrested
Chase really didn’t even want to give this airtime! His disdain is evident. And I can hardly blame him.
Love this panel. Just started the Body Language Tactics course and working on developing observation skills. I noticed my dog walking around with her lip stuck on her teeth on one side and recognized contempt right away! 😛
Lol
🤣😂
Brilliant 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
That made me laugh
I really think that Chris planned to do more to cover his tracks, but he was thwarted by Shannan's friend. Chris never thought she'd show up with the cops at 9:30 in the morning, wondering where tf Shannan was, why she didn't go to her OB appointment, etc . . . Chris also didn't plan on neighbor Nate and his front door camera.
Absolutely 👍
Yes he had to confront the friend,neighbor,cops and detectives hours after the killings! They all suspect him. That rocking back and forth,darting eyes and lip licking wtf!!??
TOTALLY!!! The ring was part of it to say she left him. He would have put sheets on the beds. Get rid of her phone. He didn't take it because of GPS. Her friend busted him and the neighbor that confirmed no one left or came to the house. Was he going to ditch her car too?
@@gabehayes1833 Shannon's car with the baby seat and that asthma meds were real nails in his coffin also. He went from dead family bodies to cops in about four hours, yes? I have watched this several times and keep seeing new details.
@josephedwarddowling5919 yes!! I have caught so many things. Interesting but so sad.
Him, Casey Anthony....I don't think i could put my personal feelings aside to watch these people with indifference. Hat's off to you guys.
I don't think most normal people could not, not have feelings about such a hideous human. I think they just take that into account and stay strict to their deception analysis.
I was recovering from surgery, and watched the entire trial. It is beyond me how that jury got it SO wrong. I think even the least educated could instinctively detect her “cray-cray”...but then again, she had a boyfriend. Her Mom still believes her, or pretends to.
I just can’t.
I don't think they quite managed to watch this one with indifference, and rightly so. They did show great restraint, however.
They would be the perfect king and queen of the prom in a nightmare horror movie.
And Jodi Arias
Another thing... presumably this interview is supposed to be his opportunity to speak to the public for help. No names given, no pictures, no desperation. He’s treating it like an interrogation. Emotionally it’s all so off.
Yes, I never thought about pictures... in that situation I’m sure one would be trying to show people what they looked like, just in case they had been seen anywhere. He would have said their names over and over, and begged their return.
Been waiting for this one. I remember the neighbour reading his body language as all wrong.
Chris Watts is a monster. I cannot imagine the horrors his pregnant wife Shannan and poor little Bella and CeCe experienced by the man who should have protected them. I hope he never gets out!
He didn’t even mention she is pregnant, and I bet he was trying to keep it from his mistress!
Ahhh very observant. Good point.
He only mentioned it when he saw that fetus on the television ad.
Ironic
Just about to go to sleep ... aww heck you guys - you’re spoiling us.
Making my dreams come true
You guys just keep giving! Jodi now Chris Watts, you guys are the best!
In three minutes Neighbor Nate cracked the entire case.
He was able to crack the case bcuz of Nicole Atkinson. She’s the other hero in this story
Nicole and Nate Holmes. They have the gratitude of many who've never even met them. Excellent work (Shan'Ann had great friends).
@@americansaga4849 The cops would have eventually questioned neighbor Nate, seen the truck footage, learned that the truck had GPS and that he went to the oil battery site. The bodies would have inevitably been found. They didn't need Nicole, she just accelerated and expidited the process.
Was he ever interviewed? I’d love to see it.
@@Babygirlforever-52 He was, on Dr Oz
The “Kessinger Tapes” have finally been released. Actual video of Nicole Kessinger’s interview with police, rather than only the voice recordings which is we’ve had access to in the last four years.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! Y’all, I need your analysis of her body language on these tapes, because nobody does it better than the Behavior Panel 😁
Hey Darlene. See my comment above. Begging them for the same! She absolutely should have AT LEAST been charged with destruction of evidence and lying to both state and federal investigators. She is downright diabolical!!! They are all four awesome! I agree!
Yes! Please! There is much evidence as to her involvement!!
i remember watching this broadcast live at the time and thinking, _I, I, I, me, me me, I, I, I - Why is he making this entire thing all about him?_ and getting a very unsettled feeling about it.
What helped was her bestie pulling the emergency chord that day. He had NO time to rehearse any scenarios in his head
Yeah he thought he was going to have more time. He was totally caught off guard
That woman’s best friend solved her murder. She knew her friend. She knew something was up before the husband had a chance to cover his tracks. She might not have been able to save all those lives but if she hadn’t advocated for her friend we might not have ever known what happened to everybody. That is a good friend.
You’re absolutely right. She threw a wrench in all his plans. I wonder what his next steps would have been if her friend didn’t sound the alarm so early. Thank god for her, thank god for the prenatal appointment Shannan had scheduled for that day, and thank god chris is not nearly as smart as he thinks he is.
only because her friend confided in her while on their trip - AND HER FRIEND KNOWS SHES ALWAYS IN CONTACT and never off the grid . no special powers
@@dewilew2137 it's GOD. not god! And finding them a few days or hours earlier didnt really matter in relation to their lives

Scott, when you were slowing down the clip and replaying it while you were talking I was so uncomfortable. I don’t know why, but something about his facial movements there slowed down was so disturbing, but highly effective at showing what you were explaining.
Agreed!
Agreed too
Yes agreed horrifying to see
I can't believe ya all did Chris Watts! My favorite TH-cam people doing my true crime obession? Is it my birthday 🎂?
When he was at police station and they gave him pizza, he ate the pizza alone in the interrogation room and a picture of his wife and two daughters on table. His back was to the cam but you could see he was eating the pizza, looking at photo and zero emotion. It was almost as if you could feel his satisfaction they were dead. Was very unsettling
I genuinely believe he's not feeling anything. To me, he seems like an unintelligent, unfeeling, bumbling idiot.
All he does in that pizza situation is act for the cops and feign grief or love for his family. He does that multiple times. Watches videos of his kids on full volume, shows pictures to police. And when they ask him why he hasn't been crying, he immediately starts to. He's faking it all.
Chris watts could have eaten pizza for breakfast Immediately after murdering his family and disposing of their bodies the way he did, this is what a psychopath does. A murdering psychopath has no problem even dismembering someone they supposedly love, and then immediately eating a pizza after the horrid act.
When he says...”knowing I will not see the kids cuddling up on their couches, and knowing I won’t get to tuck them into bed”...was interesting to me. At any moment Shanann and the children could’ve still walked in the door, if they were alive. But he KNEW they would never do so again. 😡
He's a monster and one of Satan's disciples for sure.
Yeah he kinda jumped the gun on that one. All while not even 'pretending' to show any kind of emotion or sadness. This is the dumbest guy ever.
@@Fee212 Chris Watts is a "born again" CHRISTIAN!!! Don't blame Satan when he proudly identifies as a follower of Christ. Recognize that he is a terrible person on his own merits and religion had NOTHING to do with this case! Don't scapegoat an imaginary force to lighten the burden of HIS crimes
Yuppp

It's that slight twang ;)
I don’t know about all of THAT (LOL!) but it is a really good voice. It’s relaxing and soothing even but not boring. He would be a good reader for audio books. Or a hypnotist haha!

If my editing skills weren’t so lame we’d do that.😬
You are doing fine. Just overlay it every now and then :)
Will do. Thanks so much. 👍
Excellent analysis. This case is so devastating. The “why” is never materialized in this case. He is a sick evil monster. His poor family deserved so much better than this monster.
This guy was some piece of work, I bet you were asked to do this one, a lot !
Thanks for another long one :)
It has been one of the most requested.
@@TheBehaviorPanel I've left a couple msgs under comments. About an open case about these three little boys after being with their father have disappeared. So now he is in prison for holding them. And this has been going on for 11 or 12 years. The case is about the Skelton brothers and their disappearence. I realize it will be a lot of work as his parents had something to do with the kids being missing. And the mother is definitely not squeaky clean. And finally the father giving them to a group of amish that he doesn't really even know who they are.. so much online interviews with all of them. And if course they are all alive. Even the courts claim the boys are alive as he's not imprisoned for murder but some kind of imprisonment against their will. I feel he murdered his boys after watching so many of his interviews. But I'm not sure after more if the facts come out with his parents involvement and the mothers shady background. So for these boys please give it a look at. The Skelton brothers.
Oh bee wanting without asking a Chris Watts analysis. Neighbor Nate nailed it (with his amateur body language observations out of the gate).
IMO C.Watts is Body Language 101...he is easy to read he's so pathetic 🤬
Also...thank you guys...just recently found y'all....I'm enjoying your videos & sharing them!
Hi guys. This one was difficult to watch and listen to. So I must acknowledge what a challenge it must have been for all of you. I respect that Scott and Chase could not completely put aside their disgust for the horrific acts this person committed against four souls... Also, thankyou for elevating the identity of the victims and not naming the perpetrator. T :)
Now, please do Chris' Mom, she's a piece of work. I am curious if she seems to actually believe what she says or if she appears to be deceptive. Thanks, Gentlemen! 👍
Something is up with Chris' mom too..maybe even the way she raised him.The way she treated Shannan.
I'm hoping they will too. She's classic Raymond's narcissistic mom.
She is lying to herself...

When is it going to actually absorb in her brain that her son is a cowardly killer ???!!!

OMG, have I just died and gone to heaven, I've been praying you would do this one...............THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THANK YOU.................. I need too calm down so I can watch it.
Same! Lord, I wish they’d do a whole series on this case. Plenty of sketchy people/interviews they could do a segment on: The “mistress”, Cindy and Ronnie Watts, DA Rourke, and the list goes on and on.
@@Modancin272 I agree, they could do hours and hours of the Watts family alone, it would be so telling, there's so much going on with these people, it would make your head explode.
To the panel: Once I was approached at work by police, my boss told me they needed to speak to me in the hall. I was so terrified something had happened to my children , my legs gave out, and i was unable to speak for a bit. It turned out to be a parking problem. Looking at Chris Watts smile like the wolf in Little Red Riding Hood makes me remember that moment with the police. He makes my blood run cold and gives me a fight or flight response.
his body language is really off the scale, when he's in the neighbors house which is recorded by the body camera wearing police officer , as they are looking at the security cam footage, on the TV.. do a video on that clip!!! it's truly demented
YES!!!🙏 That would be something else, wouldn’t it?!
@@Modancin272 watched that clip, on various YT channels, numerous times this week, it's really something, he was really off there,

I agree and when he puts his hands on his head, arrest me now 👍😂😂😂
@@flowergirlphillips756 actually the real reason he has his hands up like that, is anxiety, and breathing, it was explained in another vid I watched, he's trying to draw as much air into his body as possible, similar to marathon runners at the end of a race, they do the same thing as they slow down
I just submitted a forensic psychology paper (Chris Watts is my subject) and referenced a helluva lot of the Behavior Panel's info. Thanks so much for your input and amazing wealth of knowledge in this field.

@@maplepigs5942 @OceanGirl 505 we could be their official merch coordinators !
Yes 😁
The more of these I watch, the less I interrupt people - I'm too busy watching them while their lips are moving and figuring their baseline and asking myself if they could be deviating from that... Just that change of interrupting less has taught me so much more and made me much more observant, as well as more directly responsive to those around me. In good ways for the best of the relationships around me. Thank you!
It would be interesting to see body language on Nichol Kessinger. She says “like” prolifically.
That's where Chris picked it up from. In the first interrogation I thought about a 'like' counter.
Omg LIKE !
I thought he was talking about furniture, like all the furniture was gone from the house! "Nothing was there."
Yes this was such an odd way to word it. The normal way would be ‘no one was home’ . No one meaning people whereas nothing meaning ‘things.’ And home denoting a sense of warmth between the people that lived there, whereas ‘house’ again is just a ‘thing’.
Good catch. Narcissistic sociopaths see people as only things/items. So this makes sense that he would say it like that. Sick creature he is.
@Lady Olive Green- he depersonalized his family.they were things to him.psychopathy!!!😱😱
When he was mentioning his children not coming home that night, he was elated. I felt that energy. Yikes! What a selfish monsta.😡
Please do one on the interrogation of his mistress. There’s a lot there. She wasn’t charged, has changed her name and vanished from public view.

Amazing group of men and minds. Very professional....and very intelligent.

Please let your son know that I continue to pray for all of his co-workers (except NK) and Shannon's family too. Listening to some of his co-workers interviews on TH-cam broke my heart.
Oh god bloke! I hope he is ok x
I pray for his continued healing.
I’m sure he is traumatized knowing he was near Satan!
Freaky
The smiling over his family missing is monstrous. To him it’s like they’re playing a game of hide and seek and they’ve found a really good hiding spot and he just can’t seem to find them anywhere. “Come out now guys, you’ve won”
Please do one on Chris Watts girlfriend Nicole Kessinger.
I'll second this. She said she knew nothing but that's now in question and her body language in the second police interview is very interesting
Yes!!
Yes please !
I came here to say this too
Lots of interest 😉
To murder his wife was heartless but taking the lives of his children... soulless.
There is a clinical explanation for what he did. I am not a psychologist but this man is a sociopath and a narcissist. Sociopaths are generally able to function in society and they only care about themselves. Their lives are spent in constant pursuit of narcissist supply. It’s kind of like what fuels their lives. They fall in and out of love very quickly. They fall out of love when their partner no longer is able to give them their narcissistic supply. They see their children as a way for them to prove to the world what a good parent they are, and for others to complement them for being a great parent. They aren’t motivated by real love for the child. It explains why he killed the children. They were no longer giving him the narcissistic supply he needed. Nicole Kessinger was his new source, and BOY did she ever dodge a bullet.
So for him there was literally no emotion whatsoever regarding the killing of his family. He has even admitted it. He did it with all the emotion that you or I would have toward picking up our clothes at the dry cleaners.

As a mom who has all boys (adults now), I was thinking I usually said my "boys", he kept saying the "kids", sorta like he is distancing himself from the girls
Any chance you guys can cover his girlfriend? Her role is still unclear but causes some strong gutt reactions to many many of your fans. Might be more interesting since we can’t use hindsight
I agree. Sometimes she seemed really scared to know he could do this and other times just annoyed to be involved in the procedure like, it wasn't me leave me alone. I'd love to see their opinions.
The girlfriend
@@hurricanehunter9712 Oh she’s a nightmare! Watching her explains so much about this horrible crime.
Too bad we only have one visual interview with NK...and that interview is from a far away angle. I’m sure if you could read her expressions, murder would be written all over her face.
The misstress' interview was strange. I remember reading that she has some kind of personality disorder so that could have been it. She kept flirting with the officer and drawing out every word in her answers. "Chris is a dddaaaaaadddddd".
She sounded fake.
I always thought him saying he wished the kids would come through the door and barrel roll him. Since he hid them in barrels/containers, was some interesting leakage.
There was also other footage of him calling his wife’s phone her life line. He seemed to let things in his mind slip a lot.
He said “barrel rush” when the correct term is bum rush. Was hoping the panel would comment on this Freudian slip as well.
Colin Mc. Good catch!
Good catch. I never noticed that slip up before.
@@katfart939 Hi..the bum's rush is being hastened out of some place .he probably meant barrel roll.....
I found this channel a week ago and I am absolutely hooked
I think he was hoping to come home,and report them missing,I don't think he expected his wife's friend would turn up
He would've been faced with the exact same problem if he had done that, she never left...nor did the kids.
I agree that he thought he’d have more time to get his act together, maybe even days. I’m surprised there wasn’t more blatant evidence around the home, since the police were already there with the BFF when he ran home. He definitely wasn’t prepared for that.
Her parents said they knew it was him immediately from watching that interview. They told police to track his van GPS and find their family 😔😔
This case is so heartbreaking those poor babies 😢 💔
I appreciate your disgust with him. Thanks for keeping it real.
My teenage son once disappeared for more than 24 hours. Hell is not enough to describe it. If I had been interviewed my hair would have been unkempt, my clothes rumpled because I didn't sleep and I am sure my face would have had a haunted look.
I hope your son is ok now.
As great as these guys are & as much as I appreciate their material, I wish instead of showing their faces, they would make their comments about the behavior while we’re watching the suspect talking. This would allow more material & eliminate watching the same video twice. Thanks guys we love your videos.
Totally agree it’s easier to focus on what they’re talking about.
So true, just point it out on video or a screenshot. It would be so useful!
That’s exactly what I think.
This man is despicable. As an interrogator, how do you handle your own disgust, anger or revulsion with the person you are interrogating?
I guess, as professionals they need to emotionally completely detach themselves, like the officers who have to deal with the crime scene. The greatest punishment for this deranged individual would be to lock him in a dungeon, throw the key away and any means of communication and never mention the name again.
When I watched the CW interview, I literally yelled at the TV, “ You did it! You’re lying thru your teeth!” However, I could not even articulate why I knew- I just knew. Thank you so much for giving such concrete explanations and validating my initial reaction. I love your channel!
Yes! I did, too. I had the same reaction when I heard the initial interview with Susan Smith (the woman they referenced who put her kids in the car and had the car drive them into the lake). I knew she had done it by what she had said and, in that case, I even knew specific things she said that were so totally off. I was completely unsurprised when it turned out she was guilty. It would be fascinating to watch that interview now.
Rewatching this for the third time now, it never fails to amaze me how (initially) he looks like a normal functional good looking guy with his whole life ahead of him - and it’s so jaw dropping what a callous monster he is.
Such a sad case, but i also have such disgust for this monster. I've seen a few interviews with this creature he's beyond human I really can't articulate the absolute hate (?) I feel for him. I think it's beyond hate...but i can't think of anything harsher.
💯
I love how these guys defer to one another and work as a team so well.
I would like o see you do Chris Watts mom. She had such contempt for Shananon it's incredible
That was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC, the level of detail you went into was amazing, I will definitely watch this one over and over. It would be very interesting if you did his mother's TV interview. Thank you, I love this channel.
I have learned a lot from watching The Behavior Panel. The two Chris Watts videos are so crammed with his weird psychopathic behavior, that the both episodes turn into excellent teaching opportunities. Greg, Scott, Chase, and Mark are all over this scumbag’s body language and it is AWESOME! A heart felt “Thank You” to The Behavior Panel for your hard work and dedication to this art form. You guys are smart, talented and work well together. Each of you brings a different perspective to the analysis, coupled with positive energy and humor. I am a fan for sure! You guys ROCK!🎶
Totally agree!
Could you do a segment on Jeffery MacDonald? He still maintains his innocence. His murders are eerily similar to Chris Watts. Don’t know if you’ll be able to find any footage of him but if you do he would be a great subject.
I’ve panicked and frantically searched for my cat harder than this guy panicked and searched for his pregnant wife and small children.
He called 3 times!... any normal person would be constantly calling a million times!
They would be desperately pleading for help!!
He wasn't doing any of that because he knew they were dead. It shows his psycopathic nature that he can even act 'normally', but he is not a good enough actor to fake remorse and anxiety - because he just hasn't got them in him. A man that can do what he did to his pregnant wife and two very sweet little girls is beyond redemption, he is a monster in human form.
Later in the police station he breaks down crying, but he wasn't crying for his murdered family, he was crying for himself because he knew that the police had him cornered. Then the most despicable act - he blames his murdered wife for killing their daughters. It is a damned pity that he got off the death penalty by confessing.
@@SNP-1999 Agreed
@@SNP-1999 The only reason he didn't get the death penalty was because of Shannann's family. They asked the prosecution to not seek it
So true. I've panicked more over misplacing my cell phone or purse...
In the clip where he is mentioning missing the girls, it seems him mentioning characters is a resume’ statement. He’s saying, “Look I’m a good dad. I even know the characters they like.”
Which is funny because shanaan built that confidence in him lol and it obviously was good enough for him he killed the one person he thought he mastered. He had so much more to learn about her and he shut down from continuing to learn about beautiful shanaan. If he would have taken to heart her life force and his kids that response would have not been so confidence. He’s a piece of shit! Sadly nothing in life was forced down his throat. Most people emotionally neglected unknowingly has a uncanny loyalty to the very people that neglected him because they think it’s normal. It’s no excuse but the very people that did this to him excuse him even from this behavior they blame his victim. It’s a bad human.
Chris smiles so inappropriately at moments he shouldn't be smiling, it makes the watcher feel really uncomfortable because it is SO incredibly insincere ... its painfully dishonest 😢 to watch.
I've watched this a few times, and it just occurred to me that he's not even got a picture of his family, as many do when a child or wife is missing. They usually hold the picture in a frame or wanted posters and show the image so that everyone could see their faces. His complete unfeeling affect is shocking. He's not even TRYING to look upset! Love you guys! I never mind watching repeat episodes. I just wish I could give you a new "Like" each time I watch.
Good point!! 👍
OMG. This is like a personality from my past who took out a 500,000$ life insurance policy which covered suicide on me. I luckily ran to where he wouldn't find me at the time. Had never encountered this type of stuff before. Three mental professionals, one pastor and one lawyer saw him for what he is...And saved my life.
Goodness Cynthia, that is so scary. Thank God you're here with us ❤️ as well as all those who helped you recognise the signs!
💕
Wow good thing you got away from that one. He sounds like a piece of work. I hope you never in your life run into the likes of him again. Amazing how people can have no conscious and are so evil.
That seems so strange that that is even legal? I could understand a business partnership where they both go in and sign the paperwork in front of a JP but to be able to just insure someones life without them knowing is just. ……dangerous.
Please please do one on his family. The mother in particular.
"Like, like, like, like, like, like , like ..." ~ Chris Watts, 2018
I'm absolutely stunned Chris was able to get a woman with so much going on like Shan'Ann. She was beautiful, smart, hard working, loyal, devoted to her family and never had a harsh word to say about Chris on her FB videos. I just can't understand what she ever saw in him. His cracking voice screams guilty to me. I hope he remembers every bad choice he made about the demise of his family until his dying breath, because they all were choices he chose to make.
Chris was a shy guy that had charisma....that was different than her last relationship. She was abused in her last marriage and he stuck by her at her worst.
Scott Peterson, “she completes me” referring to missing Lacey. Movie lines.
Thanks guys..i know how hard this must have been!! RIP Shannan, Celeste, Bella and Niko
That was a really good one gents.
@Scott It's really helpful when you play those videos in slowmo and talk us through it while it is playing. Thanks for that!
Looking forward to the next one. 😀
Right! I like that too! I wish the put clips throughout
Yes I agree, the slowmo's are really helpful!
Hey you guys! You are great. I’m a family foster care specialist working with abused children. Body language has always fascinated me and this helps me so much with looking at/observing alleged abusers.
Makes me sick to watch him talk about his supposedly tortuous first night at home without the kids, laughing over how they missed dinner, actually LAUGHING, telling us how much HE was impacted and what HE needed - all about him. And all the while knowing they he killed them and dumped their lifeless bodies in oil tanks the very morning before. Absolutely sickening. If he's not a complete sociopath, I don't know what is.
It makes me sick too. I also hate the way his parents, especially his mother blames everything on Shannan. 🤬😢
@@louettesommers8594 I think Chris was a mama's boy and it carried over into his adult life with his wife. Seems Chris was always doing whatever Shannon told him to do and he would absolutely not take issue with any of her text messages. I mean he would agree with her even when she was putting him down and being mean! And soooo apologetic! I think she could be a little b*tchy and boss him around a lot, but that's no excuse for murder. I would venture to guess his mother bossed him around the same way. It's interesting that Nikki (her friend that called 911) said that Shannan told her she had not seen Chris act so cold to her "since his parents didn't come to their wedding". And Shannan had just had another terrible fight with his mother. Could this have been a battle between the two women in his life that helped drive him to murder?
@@rsmith8434 I agree 100%.
Listening to him describe "missing them" and the things he wished he could do is CHILLING esp after his confession of feeling NO REMORSE at all and how the hardest part for him was to pretend to care. SICK!!!
You guys say whatever you like, but for my money it's Greg that has the BEST hair.
Lol
Haha silver Fox ftw
Greg has the best everything! 😉
@@ReSearcherSusie Definitely. You wanna trust a guy with a sword on his wall.
This case is absolutely terrifying. I remember seeing this interview on the news before he was ever accused/convicted of his crimes. As a lay person, empathetic individual, and general optimist - I admit I did not think him capable of harming his family. I did note how he turned the interview into being about him, but gave him the benefit of the doubt because he LOOKS like a decent human being. Not only did he have acquaintances in his life fooled, but he had his wife completely fooled. She would have never married him, had children with him, or entrusted her baby girls in his care if she knew what he was and what he was capable of. If you watch videos of them - I got the impression she was a strong personality type who grew annoyed with his lack of direction and emotional unintelligence (just overall unintelligence period). It also makes sense why he gravitated to Shanann because she was so emotionally expressive. She gave him a template to go off of. He needed an example of how a human being behaves because he himself has no idea. Anyone who could do that to their baby girls is an absolute monster. Just a waste of a human shell.
And, typically when I read or see situations that try to paint an individual as suffering with NPD or malignant narcissism - I am skeptic. Because that diagnosis is tossed around way too much in this day and age. I also firmly feel that people are complex and operate on a continuum. To sum someone up with a psych diagnosis (depending on the situation/case) seems both unfair and counter productive. But, in this situation (and as a humble, lay person) I cannot imagine a better example of malignant narcissism and psychopathy. Chris Watts has no history of displaying these diagnoses either, which makes it all the more frightening. I read somewhere that the thrill/addiction/limerence that can go into a new love affair can also greatly alter ones ability to operate rationally. But, I cannot imagine that would outweigh the life value of his children that he killed so violently and disposed of with such cruelty. There was something underlying there, that had always been there, and that everyone just missed.
If you haven't already, you should do body language analysis on Casey Anthony. That is another case that makes my blood boil.
Really? I have never seen a worse liar in my life. I knew from the getgo he had killed his family. Even without evidence. The way he stumbles over his words speaks for itself.
💯👍
Mr Watts just wasn't counting on ShanAnn's dear friend who was picking her up for a doctor's appointment. If only he had asked his wife what she was up to today after she arrived home at around 02:00 am that morning. His heard is almost spinning, hey. Can you imagine what went through his head when they called him to ask about the whereabouts of his family? Sometimes I wish I was a mindreader! Loving your work more and more guys, Love Annie Brown, West Aussie.
I could never be in a relationship with any of these guys. They are so phenomenal that lying about how much money I spent at Target would never work.
I could 😉
And a babysitter for any of their kids....no thank you I have enough anxiety all on my own lol
1. Don’t bring your work home
2. Honesty is key in any relationship
@@annettewacha991 3. A sense of humor goes a long way.
LoLs @Nancy Brooks, you have made my day with your comment.
Omg 😳 So freaking happy you just posted this !!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌 If you listen to the police recordings of the woman he was having an affair with for weeks whilst shannan was in north carolina she says like so many times in her sentences its painful 😣
Me too!
How did he know he wasnt going to see them that night? Or turn their light on? If they were simply missing, they could've turned up at any time. He KNEW they werent coming back
