About this episode
Within days of his family’s disappearance, Chris Watts’s façade begins to crumble. Failed polygraphs, missing sheets, and GPS data all lead detectives to one horrifying conclusion: the husband everyone trusted has been lying.
As the truth unfolds — from the interrogation room to the oil fields — the nation learns what really happened inside the Watts home.
Featuring the confessions, the aftermath, and the lasting impact on everyone who loved Shanann, Bella, CeCe, and baby Niko, this is the devastating end to a story that once looked like the American dream.
