However, he changed his story during another correspondence to say he didn’t. Despite the fact he allegedly already thought the girls were dead, this comment enraged him enough to kill her at that moment, Cadle said.Ĭadle divulges in the show that at one point, Chris told her that he drugged Shanann that night. Shanann allegedly responded that if he were to end their marriage, he'd never see his daughters again. While he didn’t admit to cheating, Chris told Shanann he no longer loved her, according to Cadle that's the same story he told the FBI. The father thought both Bella and Celeste were dead as he reentered the bedroom he shared with his wife and got into an argument with her about their failing relationship, Cadle said. He allegedly claimed he didn’t want them to hear him murder their mother and that he planned this act ahead of time.
He allegedly wrote her that he had sex with Shanann after she returned from a business trip, then as she slept he went into the girls’ bedroom to smother them. The alleged attempt was unsuccessful, though Shanann did become ill, according to Cadle.Ĭadle said that Chris also confessed to her via letter that he attempted to murder his two daughters in their bedroom before killing Shanann. She said he told her he never wanted that baby and that it was easier to cheat if his wife wasn’t pregnant. “What he wanted her to do was for her to miscarry.” “He tried to poison Shanann with a large dose of it,” she said. But that facade soon crumbled: it became evident that he'd been having an affair and, after the bodies were discovered, he was arrested before ultimately pleading guilty to their murders he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Then, he attempted to play the role of a concerned husband and dad whose family had gone missing. The narrative established through investigator interviews and court documents is that he first strangled his wife Shanann, who was 15 weeks pregnant with their son, inside their Frederick, Colorado home before smothering their young daughters, Bella, 4, and Celeste, 3.
