Crime & Justice on HLN notes a potential witness in Chris Watts’ murder trial of Shanann Watts. Amazon’s Alexa Echo smart speaker. As seen in below videos, Shanann Watts and her girls used Alexa. Alexa may have captured Shanann’s murder on a recording. The deaths of the Watts children may also have been recorded. Anchor Ashleigh Banfield noted that Alexa may record even when her “awake” word isn’t spoken.

Will Chris Watts’ mistress emerge?

Along with Alexa as a possible witness, Crime & Justice asks if Chris Watts’ mistress will emerge. Chris admitted his affair with a coworker. It isn’t clear if the mistress worked at Anadarko with Watts, or if she was an oil industry employee at another company. On June 27, a photo of Chris and Shanann at the beach was posted to Facebook.

Now more details about Chris’ “standoffish” behavior weeks later emerge. Michele Greer ran into the family on August 2, at Myrtle Beach. Michelle said there was no way Shanann would have killed the girls. Days before the wife and kids vanished, Chris was at a birthday party.
