8/14/2018: Chris did his memorable interview on his front Porch with Denver 7 ABC News.

It was an interview that NA allegedly told him he needed to, at a time Chris wanted to start his new life as a bachelor.  By Thursday morning, his relationship with NK was tenuous at best.  Chris wanted to keep NK talking, to restore her trust. Everything is ok. My wife just left for a bit. This will blow over. I still love you.   Did he want a low key meet up at her place as the walls closed in?

A final steamy meetup was not to be as Police Units were perched near by at Steeple Rock Road. The house was in constant view of the surveillance unit's binoculars.  If Chris Watts went anywhere or had any visitors Frederick PD would be notified at once.   By sundown, Police were also posted by NK's apartment.  Their role was surveillance - but also protection.   Law Enforcement watched Chris's concerning TV interview and had no idea what they were dealing with.

As the media closed in, Chris knew he could not stay at his house Tuesday night. Chris planned to go stay with 2 friends Nick and Amanda Thayer. They had heard the news of Shanann and the girls' disappearance, but still trusted Chris Watts...   

As night fell, enroute to their place Chris got a call from the Frederick PD.   Unlike Monday, this time they were ready for him. Seasonsed FBI Agent Graham Coder was ready to press Chris Watts with the details of his wife's disappearance.

Graham was polite but relentless... They would not get Chris to confess on night one and that forced the FBI and CBI to review how they interrogate potential family annihlators.

In the middle of a media storm and police interviews was Chris Watts. A Colorodo resident for 5 years, why did he choose to wear his North Carolina Tarheels shirt on this big day? Was he sending a message back home to his roots? Or was his mind already back in Spring Lake, to the days when he was an innocent young man starting his life?

North Carolina shirt means I'm home free?
