What happened the morning pregnant mom, two daughters went missing (NIGHTLINE)

WATCH THE FULL EPISODE OF 20/20: bit.ly/2B1t2b8
When Shanann Watts and her girls were reported missing, police found her purse, wallet and wedding ring and the beds unmade inside the family's Colorado home.

[@emma-ko6jv]

[@mjolnir9855]

Oh look, no pro-abortionists on here arguing that the unborn child was just a fetus and not a child. I wonder why. I guess when we encounter a situation like this, and the prosecutor charges him for 4 (FOUR) deaths, then all of a sudden her unborn child is a real person, not just a mass of cells. Interesting how that works.

[@mjolnir9855]

@milan does that include honoring the dead baby that was killed in her womb? I intend to honor that child, by bringing this needful observance to light. There is no more perfect time (because of it’s reality) nor a more perfect example of the prolife vs pro choice movement, which is why I bring it up - to honor the lives lost of thousands other babies killed under the banner of “pro-choice”, because one way of stopping evil in all it’s forms, is by showing the inherent hypocrisy of it to the doer. There will never a right time to bring this up and show the blatant truth of my claims if we follow your prescription to ignore it in honor of those who have already died. The dead are dead, but the living can still be saved from pro-choice murders.

She wasn't married and she didn't have a family. It's easy to blame her because she was seeing a married and she looks and sounds the part of a lowlife woman, but none of this happens if Chris didn't make the choices he did.

That poor baby singing that her daddy was her HERO! THAT BREAKS my HEART 💔!! I wander...just WHAT was going through her innocent mind...as she saw her HERO dragging her mommy's dead body...then traveling in the car with her dead mom as her and her sister played on each other lap... obviously trying to comfort each other because they probably knew something was very wrong. I can't imagine the fear, and sadness that the last little girl had as she saw her daddy murder her sister...and ask her daddy if the same thing is going to happen to her. Lastly, to find out that the little girl had bitten through her lip... either from fear or from her dad injuring her mouth as he smothered her. We STILL don't know the TRUTH about exactly what occurred. HOW....HOW in the WORLD could anyone do such a evil, monstrous, demonic act??? There is ONLY one logical reason, but most people can't seem to want to believe the FACTS! So let's just be realistic.... ONLY an EVIL minded, demonic, act like that can come from the DEVIL! Demon possession is very REAL and although he is STILL responsible for allowing such an evil act and the devil himself to control his mind....causing a normal person to do such an inhumane thing. It is the ONLY thing that can explain such a horrible thing. He allowed his lustful, twisted, selfish mind to become so warped and then allow his sinful desire to cheat with his lover and become so obsessed with her that he would devise such a diabolical plan to first attempt to make his wife miscarry his only son, by secretly giving her drugs. There is NO telling how long he had been trying to destroy his family...and then obviously trying, but failing ..then becoming so desperate and hateful that he thought up one last, final, unthinkable act! To lay in wait for his unsuspecting wife, kill her while his first were about to walk in, just in time to see him dragging their DEAD mother to his truck, loading up those babies in his truck and driving almost an hour as those poor babies laying on each other... trying to comfort each other and obviously knowing something VERY bad, and VERY scary was happening. Finally, arriving to a scary, final remote location...only to face one more horror...and seeing their daddy...their HERO kill her sister and ask him if he was going to do that same thing to her, and finally the revelation that she actually bit her lip either out of fear, or because he must have injured her mouth trying to smother her!
