The deaths of the Watts familydrew national attention, in part because of the gruesome way that Chris disposed of the bodies.
After killing his wife and kids, Chris loaded their bodies into his truck and hid them on a remote oil work site where they were found days later.
Chris placed the two little girls in oil tanks through a hatch that was only eight inches in diameter. Bella had scratches on her body from being shoved through the hatch and a tuft of her hair had been ripped off. He buried Shanann in a shallow grave away from the oil tanks.
