Shanann was 15 weeks pregnant with their son at the time. Chris was having an affair with his co-worker who believed he was already separated from Shanaan before he committed the murders. According to officials, this was Watts’ motive for the unthinkable crimes. He received a life sentence in prison after pleading guilty to the murders in November 2018 to avoid a possible death sentence.

"It's really bizarre," the neighbor told PEOPLE. "You can always tell who they are because they'll cruise the neighborhood slowly and then get out of their cars and take pictures of the house. Some of them even take selfies. It's gross."
