My Latest Video: The Hidden Connection: Chris Watts Confirms NK's Involvement! TO HIS MOTHER (CINDY WATTS)
• The Hidden Connection:...
Check Out Some of My Previous Uploads!
Video title 1 - SHE IS GUILTY! - NICHOL KESSINGER'S Web of Lies! | Chris Watts was not alone!! MORE EVIDENCE!!!
• SHE IS GUILTY! - NICHO...
Video title 2 -www.youtube.co....
Video title 3 - www.youtube.co....
Intro music: Panda Eyes & Teminite - High Score
Nichol kessinger 💯 % involve!! She lied after lie after lie after lie.
She needs to take a lie detector test
And then lied more after more lies
Lock her up for life☹️☹️☹️
@@K.j.h.279 ALL of her contradictory statements, saying she didn’t know he was married or even had kids when right as their affair began, she said in an email that she wants what he has (marriage, kids) also saying she did not know Shan’Ann was pregnant when it was publicly announced on their Facebook pages, she stalked her Facebook account. Come on now!!!
Why did the police not follow through on NK? The stupid DA said at a press meeting, he said, " This is not a witch hunt" yes it should have been a witch hunt to find out the truth!!! Babies and an innocent women were all brutally murdered and they absolutely should have got NK and made her face proper questioning and a court hearing. She sat there openly flirting with the police officer and laughing!! I get red hot angry about how the DA manufactured this horrific murder case....GOD Ijust want to scream I'm so frustrated!!!
NK may escape justice in this life, she will not in the next life.God knows everything.
🙏
Amen
I agree. Nobody escapes judgement day!
Amen
🙏 amen
I was watching the interview(Sermon on the Porch) with my late mother. In the middle my mom looks at me and says, “he did something to them.”
I have 2 sons about your age, and I would be proud if you were my son as well. You Rock!💙
Shanann dad tears in court brought me to tears ... He was so broken 💔
He loves his girl. I can see why.
He was not aware of many things until Rourke spoke in court....they should have been told before!!
I have watched videos of Shanann with Bella and CeCe. She loved her girls very much. She loved Chris for whatever reasons I am not sure why, but she did and fought hard to try and keep the marriage together. Nichol and Chris both disgust me. He had everything and he took it all away and for what? A homewrecker of a mistress! Chris is where he belongs. Shanann, Bella, CeCe and Nico as well as Shanann's family deserves justice. Colorado needs a new DA. Change needs to happen as soon as possible.
You are a very kind and compassionate man. Just wanted to tell you that it’s nice to see a young man who cares. I hope my son turns out as kind and compassionate as you! God bless you and your family Zowoki!
Couldn’t have said it better myself thank you 🙏
The girls loved their mom you could tell just by watching them.
He wouldn't have killed his family if she wasn't involved.
but he did. do NOT SYMPATHIZE FOR CHRIS WATTS because
of NK.
there are a lot of women willing to cheat w married ppl... I'm sure another NK would have came along at some point.
This case is so FRUSTRATING!!
Believe me, I’ve met hundreds of bossy , controlling people,, some are family members!,, Shannan Watts was a Loving ,Kind Compassionate Woman ,, She didn’t deserve this!,, No Excuse for Murder !,, Ever !
EXACTLY RIGHT
I hear that!
There was no excuse for her murder but she was definitely a narcissistic controlling fake social media life pretending asshole. That's a fact
Keep the faith! #Justice
Thanks for the update on that episode. I'm looking forward to watching it!
Shannan may have been a bit bossy and controlling, but look at what she was dealing with. She was raising 3 children, and one of them was named Chris
NEVER apologise for having feelings, you’d have to be made of stone to watch Shananns dad stand there - a broken man, asking that people not verbally abuse his family and not feel for the family involved in this tragedy. What is our world coming to when people feel that’s it’s ok to speak out and make derogatory remarks about dead children ? What ever happened to the saying that you should never speak ill of the dead ? I’m starting to hear more from other creators questioning NKs involvement now, so keep up the good work. I always watch your channel - have done for ages, continue to speak up for those who no longer have a voice of their own. Cheers! 🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘
No offence this fella is becoming unhinged.. this happened 6 years ago & he speaks on the same thing over & over again if he's got new information speak on it but seriously this is becoming weird & the crying,🙄 what does he think he's going to achieve? Enough fella get on with your own Family.✌️
@@johnbilchuris9728 ppl.. AKA including men cry at sad movies.. things not real.. this family was horrifically murdered and disposed of. bc your heart is stone doesn't mean other ppl are that way. its healthy to cry and men have just as many emotions as females.
SHES GUILTY
She was ambushed as soon she went through that door.
I actually agree it started the moment she went in and I believe kessinger and still there
Spot on 100%
Oh for sure! I have no doubt
Absolutely agree. Kessinger was there we KNOW and needs to be arrested interrogated and on trial & locked up
I agree however I think it happened in the basement..
Yes zowoki. We who follow you totally agree with you. 😔
Sending love and peace for SHANANN BELLA CECE AND NICO may they rest peacefully with the angels 😇😊
I follow you everyday and I am a 70 yr old Mom and it breaks my heart to see you cry. Please take a break from this at least a few days. You Momma’s heart would break if she saw you cry like you do. If my son that is your age cried like you I would want to die. Sweetheart take a break please. This is just to much for you.
I was thinking the same thing! I’m emotional like this as well and we think with our hearts and things affect us so much deeper.
I totally agree he needs a break but at the same time he is very passionate about this particular case and wants to get all the info out to us, he is such a lovely man
He seems so sweet and kind. Thank you, Nick for all you do.
CW had no idea what he got himself involved in until it was too late , he made his bed he's got to lay in it, nk pushed him more to do something for her own jealousy and envy she had for shananns life.
To make it worse,the major thing a child needs when they are that age, it's to know they're safe! So before they died, they also saw their father is not safe..
Loser
We’re all here to support you in your fight for justice! I love how caring and real you are. Much love and respect!
Bless those PRECIOUS lil angels!!
When In doubt! Chris Watts can't get out!
Yes. If the glove doesn't fit you must aquit! Except OJ was wearing rubber gloves already and spread his fingers wide wilst putting it on and He's on camera wearing them also Nicole had receipts of the purchase. But the jury have to live with their decision.
The gloves OJ tried on were also leather and they had dried out and had shrunk.
I too hope and pray for the truth and full justice for Shanann and her beautiful babies. 🙏 ❤
I think that the DA got a big donation from Anadarko to just get the case dropped. Don't forget NKs dad worked for the safety group through Anadarko.
Never thought of that 👍
YEAH" EXACTLY! SOMETHING FISHY ABOUT THIS WHOLE MESS
COVERUPPPPPP
Thank you. 😢😢😢 Even now, it is all so devastating.
You have the most beautiful amazing heart and soul. It’s not weak for a man to cry. This case is upsetting because it is incomplete. I know from Shananns videos, it was like you got to know her. She had a magnetic aura and she was so beautiful. NK needs to be interrogated properly. She was involved in some way guaranteed. It’s been 6 years and we are still looking for answers simply because it just feels wrong that this case was shut down so fast.
I can NOT believe that ANYONE would stand behind that monster CW.🤬 You can tell how wonderful of a person,wife,and mother Shanann was.💔 Not saying that I believe NK physically had anything to do with the crimes,but she absolutely knew about them.💯 Positive energy to you and your family.🌻💚🍀
Because you are a compassionate person!!
@Zowoski you are a good judge of character. 100%.
Thank you! Keep up the good work ❤
People can be so damn cruel
Whoever is saying 'you should stop doing these Watts-Kessingee videos, please ignore them (easier said then done, i know)
The strongest reaction I've seen off of you is just pure disbelief & crying over those girls,and their mum. Please don't listen to them. Your emotions are real, true & you speak for a lot of us!
Bless your heart, thank you for all you are doing to get information out their. Your a kind hearted man 😢
Sending prayers and love to you Zowoki.. I can't understand how anyone could think that Shan'ann could ever hurt her babies.. in the videos that we see, one can see how much she loved Bella and Cece.. and how much they loved her! And Shan'ann was SO excited about bringing baby Nico into the world.. I have a feeling that Nicole Kessinger was involved, someway, somehow in the murders of little Bella and Cece.. I pray for Shan'ann's family as well, that someway, somehow, they will get the peace they deserve.. God bless you Zowoki.. I will continue to pray for you and your family
Well said Zawoki!!!!!
They don’t need to kill just get divorce just leave you had Shannan trying to make the marriage work she was a loving mother and wife we could only be lucky to have her in your life
Thank you for keeping us updated, & also, its refreshing seeing a man with compassion & empathy such as yourself...I agree with everything you've stated about poor Shannan never seeing this unimaginable horror coming, it had to be extremely difficult for her after 8 yrs of what she thought was a loving marriage with Chris & then see him suddenly change towards her in 3-4 short weeks, refused to talk about the issues, & basically tortured her emotionally before murdering her..Its beyond disgusting this psychopath Chris ignored Shannan when she sent him a text asking him to tell her if he didn't love her anymore, which he responded by lying & denying there were any problems instead being honest, which of course kept Shannan in the dark & off guard! Chris was determined to murder his family, planned it, & even said in his interview, "I knew that morning what I planned to do, & nothing was going to stop it from happening"...Everyone with a soul, compassion, & a heart feels sad, & hurt for Shannan & her babies because she was murdered by a man they loved & trusted...Chris blindsided them all, murdered them, & threw them away like a pile of garbage that meant nothing to him..
The universe has put a passion in your heart to solve this. Something beautiful about you Zowoki. I believe your commitment to this case is humbling. I believe you are a force! Every word you speak is truthful. Your loyalty is so commended. you will see justice when NK is arrest
Lets all send love to heaven for Shanann..Bella..Cece and Nico 🙏🙏🙏❤And even all are love to Shanann's Family.
Amen!
I dont watch or listen to ANYONE who bashes shanann or her family. They are the horrible people, in my opinion. I just don't understand how they can blame shanann for anything that happened.
It is ridiculous that people blame her or say she deserved it. No one deserves that. Horrible people that say those things.
Watts the Obsession has videos criticizing Shanann and saying she was a bad mom. When I saw that video I never watched her stuff again!
Your content is fine, haters can go watch something else,
What disgusting me is all these other channels trying to poke at a deceased woman. Shame on all of them. NK was involved but because she wrote her statement against CW he made that deal so she did not take the fall with him. It’s disgusting how the law works as long as the law gets 1 conviction they are good. It could have cost more money to charge NK. NK needs to be exactly where CW is. Partners in crime. Where is the full justice here for Shannon and her beautiful baby girls♥️🕯️🎉
For real. Makes them seem disposable in the whole situation.
This case is not finished until Kessinger s not prosecuted and sentence for life.
Way to go Zowoki no one included me could’ve said this better than you did in terms of this case! We are all feeling that the exact same way as you to hear it. That’s the way we all feel. Thank you for putting into words!
Well said friend. I've seen a channel bad mouthing Shanaan, they are disgusting, they were also blaming Nicole Atkinson and saying she was involved & nk is innocent, they also said that Shannan cut Bellas hair so short as punishment, I had to turn it off my blood was boiling!
You are amazing, Zowoki! I feel the same about this case. I hug my daughters even tighter after hearing of this case. ❤
Aloha again Zowoki,
I’m very impressed with all that u do especially getting messages out there. In all honesty people like u n wat u do means a lot n I follow u almost every day n I just wanna say thank u for u n wat u do! From Hawaii to u ! Aloha.
Thanks!
You have an ENORMOUS HEART ZOWOKI
We Love you
Although I never have had my own children, I ran an home in a third world country, no parents, 20 children. Ten of each. All grown up now. Raising their own children, studying ...
Where we can, we MUST give love to children, if they are ours or not. That is ALL we can do.
Zowoki we're all in total agreement with you 💯 percent. NK is guilty ❤😢
Don't forget about Jim, too.
SHES GUILTY!!!!!!!NO DOUBT ABOUT IT~GETTING AWAY W/MURDER~ITS SICKENING
I appreciate you allowing yourself to be vulnerable. We all are here for you and agree and feel what you feel. I know you had said long time ago you werent going to watch any of the documentaries on this case but i am glad you are. There are some things i hadnt known before until i have seem them. This one and the “Buried with Love,” showed me a lot. Oh and the REELZ episode “catching chris watts.” Is real good! Keep going we see gonna get Nk!!!!!
They questioned the babysitter harder than they sid NK.
I just have to say that i applaud you. If ANYONE tries to say that you do not care about this case, they are deranged. It is so obvious how much you care, you are really the only one that is keeping Shanann and her babies name in the spot light. I don’t see anyone else trying to figure out what was actually going on in his mind. You are a beautiful soul and i see it in your eyes. I am new to your channel and so glad that i ran up on it. Keep fighting for them!! I’m behind you 150% thank you for what you do and don’t be ashamed of those tears, it really shows who you are as a human being with feelings. You are awesome
YES' ZOWOKI KEEP FIGHTING FOR THEIR JUSTICE
Preach it preacher! I say Amen.
i agree with you.
is ok to breakdown, shows you care.
You have poured your heart into bringing justice for Shannon and her babies. We enjoy watching you. Crying only shows me the intensity of your purpose
NOT TO MENTION CHRIS WATTS DIDNT EVEN SERVE ANY SENTENCE ON BABY NICKO(WAS NAMED AFTER NASTY NK~
Ohhh dear , you are sooo compassionate about this case.
You truly are amazing and need big hugs.
Hope you’re okay.🙏❤️
Thank you for being so passionate about this case❤ I do feel like we will get justice
Z you are the most kindest sweetest person - I see how emotional you get over this tragedy and it breaks my heart for you and knowing you want to help with getting to the REAL TRUTH - keep doing what you’re doing ! I wish other people were MORE LIKE YOU !

@Zowoki I agree with you 💯. This case got me on a roller coster of emotions. Your not the only on who shed tears, got angry, frustrated. NK is 💯 invove and we not gonna stop until she's investigated. RIP Shannan, Bella, Celeste and Nico. ❤❤❤❤
WE" ALL WANT JUSTICE!!!!!!!FOR SHAN'ANN BELLA ,CICI&BABY NIKO
@@shellimills153 That's what I want too. We are on the same page.
Kowoki,You Cry Because You Care...... Such a Kind Heart,and Please Never Ever Change.....Love From London U.K. XX
You are doing a great work.
Don’t listen to these people
We need to get the police to re open the case
Your got a big heart we are behind you
See ya mate
I love you as a human being❣️ You have the biggest heart! That’s why I love your channel! Thank you for all the time you spend caring about victims🥰
Zowoki, sir. I truly enjoy watching your videos and the compassion you have. You keep it up, and don't let the haters silence your voice. There are many who do enjoy hearing your logic and think the same way you do. Continue showing the incredible compassion you have. Thank you...
I am part Italian, like Shanann was, I hate to say it, but some of the animosity toward Shannan and her family might be due to some prejudice. I have felt it during my life also because as soon as you tell people you are Italian so many people's minds start thinking about the mafia. There have been so many movies and shows that perpetuate the mobster stereotype that some people can't think of anything else. I don't like shows like that and I don't watch them because they make me mad. Believe it or not, most Italians are honest, hard-working, warm, loving people like Shanann’s mom.
Zowoki, you are such a kind soul❤️❤️ You are on a crusade for justice and I think it's great, you do you always!! 💜💜RIP Shanann, Bella, CeCe and Nico💜💜
Blessings always!! 👆✊🙏
You have such a huge heart! 🙏🏼 ❤😢
I find it really bizarre that CW was the one that 'wants more kids until I get a boy' and then totally does a 180 not long after and k!ll$ his kids, wife & baby boy. He goes from a seemingly passive, non-abusive, loving father & husband into an aggressive, homicidal one.
Usually there's signs along the way showing some kind of personality disorder. The only thing seems to be his passivity and the need for strong women like his mother. It oozes love/hate.
I wonder if NK would have ended up unalived at some point also. He wouldn't be able to handle her. She's a loose cannon. I find his psychopathy interesting.
Ironically his mother is as weak as they come
I agree. That is something else that really draws me to this case.
I really appreciate your channel. Your channel and listening to your opinion on it. It's such a tragedy. I feel so bad for the kids and shenan nobody deserves something like that. She was just a great mom😢
Your heart is huge. ❤
OMG if you haven’t watch this post on the crime A to Z.. you NEED to.. I have watched and followed everything you have covered and the dedication, time & effort you have put into every post.. I just wanted to say thank you. You have done an amazing job.. I watched the crime A to Z and it has so much detail in it that I have not seen before and I think you find it very interesting as these guys truly have done a fantastic job and it really does go from A to Z these guys have not left nothing unturned. I would love to know what you think. Again thank you so much.. I guess I also look at this horrible and horrific story in a different light as I live in Australia and I was brought up in a court house as my dad was a chief magistrate for over 30 year before he retired.
Chris Watts Family Murders: The FULL Truth Is Worse Than You Thought
Crime A to Z
Cw and Nk will have to answer to GOD …why they ended the lives of 4 beautiful souls!! Rest in eternal peace Shanann, Bella, Celeste and baby Nico.. 🙏🏻💜💜💜💙
AMEN
YEAH" &CHRIS ONLY GOT CHARGED FOR THREE OF THEM(NO CHARGE FOR KILLING BABY NIKO
It’s so hard to bare, those kids had the most horrific death. I still years later am horrified, Zi that was a very troubled household the energy in it is not good I picked up on that my first time looking at this case. Shanann will not rest till NK is where she should be “ Behind Bars”
We will Continue to fight on it’s not going away anytime soon!!!
Love your Compassion in Seeking Justice
I totally agree with u Z ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sending strength n love to all that are affected ❤
Am completely agree, I feel in the same way and I stopped a little bit with all documentaries because affected to me, like mother, sister, grandmother and just started to be afraid with people that I love and love me, so I took a break.
I think that you have to breath about because see you crying like this broke my heart you need a break too.
The DA is related to NK’s father and that is why she got off the hook . She should have at least gone to jail for destroying evidence and not being honest with police . She should be in jail whether she was involved with the murders or not . There is something mentally wrong with Chris anyway .
❤your amazing so kind and compassionate I love watching you’re videos
I wished I knew Shannon too and she was my friend she was a beautiful woman with beautiful children and she had a kind loving heart I could tell❤❤❤
Zowoki I know this is hard for you, but I hope and pray you will continue to fight for the mother and her children until something is done with everyone who had anything to do with these murders.
Proud off you for doing this.Justice is all we want and the last thing we can do for Shanann..the kids and her family.😢😢
Shanann had to take control bc Chris knew nothing and someone had to run the house! Chris was just fine with it before NK. At least Shanann was a caring person, and NK was controlling, but in a bad way.
I’m with you on this case. NK needs to be investigated. It is sickening how Shannan and the family are talked about
Zowoki only real men cry it just means your sensitive and has real feelings and compassion for what you do. I appreciate you.
I was watching a different podcast yesterday and I decided to look something up and I found out that the LE agent who went through the case file and found a lot of evidence that could have possibly tied NK to this, Michael Prill, got a promotion Oct. 6, 2023. He is now the Chief Investigator for the Weld County District's Attorney's Office in Colorado. Also, long before any of this had ever happened, in 2016 he got an award for being the best investigator. I don't know why but I just happen to find that very interesting. What do you guys think?
I salute you to this Zowoski ❤❤
You have a good heart god bless you
You give SW a voice - thank you for that. I leave or have left comments from day one on all Watts videos I watch. I followed SW when she did Thrive and have been saying NK is involved from day one. People that are not emphatic or have humanity will attack the ones that do. That's their job - but know this - karma never forgets an address.
I believe Nichol is involve, her desire for wedding, her desire for planning to replace Shannon as a wife in the future was so desperate that she wanted it asap. I wonder why they let go of her.
He really cares....and doesn't care if people see his soft side....which is endearing. I fully agree with Z!!
I feel that Shanann, as fierce as she was, would have triumphed no matter what! I am so sorry that she couldn't continue to shine, along with her children.
Shanann was an amazing woman , mom, and wife. Very Beautiful inside and out. Her three babies and her did not deserve this . Chris and his side chick needs locked away for life . Shanann and the kiddos need peace already. ❤ Shanann and the kiddos. 😢
I love your heart. You are a good dude my dude....
This case is terrifying because it shows us that we truly never know people and what they're capable of. SW was living with a monster and she had no idea. That is terrifying. Hopefully, one day a new DA will come into office and bring any others involved in this sick case to justice. It's not ok to just close the case and sweep everything under the rug.
I am with you on this 💔, l😅 am sitting here crying with you. It time CW told the truth, and who was involved. He seems terrified to say anything about NK
Hello, zowoki, I’m with you. I love your channel and I hope this shall pass quickly.
I saw the interviews with NK they were pathetic. That D man was and is wrong and CWS parents are looking for anything to make them feel better.
IMO his mom started at the beginning because she was judging Shannan. She never even gave her a chance. Maybe if CW’s parents had been more supportive of the marriage. I’m sure all of the nasty things they said to CW, this may have never happened. Negative breeds negative and positive breeds positive. Karma
I think you are doing a great job on your channel. I really hope the nasty people will stop being so mean. It seems they are just enjoying this because it takes the focus off of them.
Be brave❤️ May God bless you and your family, and that you too will get justice.💯
We ❤ u, Z. 😊 x
Agree 💯 % with what your saying
You r right! They need to get her! I’m sure. Everything you have said is Spot ON
The channel you suggested saje has uploaded a few more videos. Unsure if you have seen the others; probably so but I added her and it's so crazy how much info Eleanor and her voice box bring up along with her reading the cards. I was a total non believer till your 1st video you showed of her making me have faith that they're not all scammers like the one I tried over 20 years ago in my 20's. Haven't seen this video yet you're speaking of so definitely going to look for it this weekend. And yes what if she finds another family and something tragic happens before she actually truly gets investigated further!!! I believe everything I've heard from all channels and a few have said the grave was dug prior
