Why Chris Watts Will Never Profit: The Slayer Rule and a $6M Judgment | MMM Series

In December 2019, a Colorado court entered a $6 million wrongful death judgment against Chris Watts — $3 million for Shanann and $1 million for each of his daughters. It was a default judgment. He didn’t even appear.
In this second of two episodes on the Watts case, we examine the legal and financial aftermath of the murders — the wrongful death action, how Colorado’s intestate succession laws directed Shanann’s estate to her parents, and the complicated story of the Frederick, Colorado home that sat in legal limbo for years before finally selling. We also take a hard look at the psychology behind the crime itself: why a man with no history of violence, earning over $100,000 a year, would choose murder over divorce. The answer — rooted in the psychiatric concept of a “family annihilator” and its “clean slate” subtype — is one of the most instructive case studies we’ve encountered in this series.
