Of all the interviews, this one is the most heartbreaking. When Nickole corrects herself about the flip-flops (they were her favorite. They ARE her favorite), she knows something bad has happened but it's too horrible to think about. Shann'Ann was so lucky to have a friend like her. Sherlock Atkinson was on the case!

[@Dream_suburb]

Wonderful friend? Her 'friend' was missing only for less then a few hours, but first thing she did was - checking her 👛 for 10K? Let me correct myself - PLANTING the purse! That's the right term. Cause on body cam she was acting like someone else have found the purse and the first ever time she sees it is when it is already on kitchen counter. And acting surprised, like - "Omg, that's her purse!". But here - she says SHE found the 👛 in the office? Lier, lier, 🩳 on 🔥🙄

[@kathleendebiase5768]

Realizing these comments were old,my opinion has changed. I caught hr in so many lies. We all saw her & her Son planting the purse & if she cared about her friend so much ,being in pain Why didnt she carry her suitcase? Or make her go to hospital instead of Thrive Training???? Sorry but she is following a script,sent out to implicate CW from the get go. She was at the house at 8 am,SW's appt was at 9:15. I guess she had a premonition SW was strangled? No bodies were at Cervi 319, on the 13 th.. Kids didnt need epi pens,bought on line. A lot has been proof she said. Just happy she beat cancer,but she knows so much more. We all learned a lot in a year. She left out she went into the house before calling cops. SW put them in the poor house,not CW. NA knew about the leopard dress. Lies make you sick. Why would SW want sex if she was cramping,bleeding & vomiting in AZ. SW didn't make any money ,she got paid in product. 30k in the basement. Unsold Thrive. She knew SW wanted a divorce & was schooling her how to get the house from her husband like she did. Shes painting a fake picture of the Fact that SW was not rich. Check the knives Nicole? Search her purse, before your Son plants it on the Counter. Seen on policecam by many since this confession instructed to you. Your Geo tabs dont match neither. You never went into Dr's office neither. All in the Discovery. Dogs hit on your car?? False narrative, crying,laughing lies do that to you. Worrying about her Level money? Why??? Where's her passport???

[@andiestewart7423]

[@alfalfa2155]

Can you explain your reasoning or proof for any of this? Particularly your claim that Nickole was at the Watts’ house at 8am and went inside the house? Edit: I’m looking at the discovery right now and on page 1279 the screenshot of the phone GPS data for Nickole says “At Home 2:10am - 10:41am”. So where are you getting this info?

[@kez-chick5647]

I’m glad I listened to this again. Some of her trips she won and were payed for. And the company paid for her car and she was making enough to send the girls to the daycare and she took them. All this is so different listening to other channels. This was very interesting Kim.💖

[@MissPatty818]

Unfortunately, that’s not entirely correct. Chris was making all the money, she used it to pay for her products so she can maintain the status and qualify for the “free car”. The trips were mainly you pay your way to the seminar. My cousin has worked for this company ,and to me sounded like they were selling to the promoters. Daycare they definitely couldn’t pay for, but she could not deal with the girls during the day so childcare wasn’t debatable. There’s a lot to this case, its not quite as simple as close and shut. A lot of moving parts, years in the making. Unfortunately wasn’t going to end well. It started wrong since the marriage proposal weekend and Chris Watts is definitely guilty, although not alone in this.

[@JenniferRittimann]

@@MissPatty818 you’re so right. This was so tragic and she didn’t deserve what happened to her by any means but Shanann wasn’t the perfect mom/wife that she portrayed. Terrible what happened to her but there’s more than meets the eye.

[@avan01]

She actually wasn't making enough to send them to daycare which was a private one and costed about 20 grand per year. They were living way beyond their means and were on the way to bankruptcy a 2nd time. Doesn't mean she deserved any of what happened to her but they were in serious debt. She hadn't paid HOA dues in a year and were being sued. That's all in discovery and is public record.

Nickole had a feeling right away that CW had harmed them. I think because of the way he was to her on the phone, when she called him concerned about where Shanann was. And the fact Shanann had not contacted her, and did not go to her Dr’s Appointment. Nickole knew CW had been acting strangely for the last 2 months. She knew Shannan had seen an almost 70$ charge to their bank account for dinner at Lazy Dog. I think Nickole felt he was having an affair. Unlike most ppl, Nickole did the right thing and followed her inner voice that he had done something to them.

Normal Mother's Feed their kids more than marshmallows & chocolate chips. Bella looked sick,sad & scared. Take another look. She was a control freak who was about to lose all control. She IMO took them out of this evil world. Her words not mine. Not arguing ,just asking take another look. You're untitled to your opinion. The girls were happiest when with the Watts. They felt love,hugs,kisses & most knew CC allergies were part of SW's control issues. Hence,Medical Records sealed!! If the girls had breathing issues,why were adult size pillows & blankets in their beds? Why did SW join a SIDS group?? Yet her girls were drugged to sleep & could have smothered in their sleep,using Adult size pillows!!! She was a very sick woman IMO & many others who actually raised their children ,without needing help or someone there, constantly.
