UNRAVELING THE CASE:

SOURCES AND INSIGHTS

The Chris Watts case is a chilling example of deception and tragedy. In 2018, Watts murdered his pregnant wife, Shanann, and their two daughters, initially reporting them missing before his lies unraveled. His case, filled with inconsistencies, body language analysis, and investigative breakthroughs, inspired me to create an interactive website where users act as detectives—analyzing evidence, questioning statements, and forming their own verdicts. My fascination with true crime stems from the psychology behind criminal behavior and the investigative process. This project allows others to step into that world, experiencing firsthand how justice is pursued.
