If looks could kill: Chris Watts stares daggers at wife Shanann’s friend after he returns home from disposing of bodies to find her at his home with police filing a missing persons report
Video obtained by DailyMail.com shows the moment Chris Watts returned home from burying his wife and disposing of his daughters’ bodies in an oil tank only to learn that Shanann’s best friend had already called the police.
Nicole Atkinson was worried after she arrived at Shanann’s home only to find her car was still parked in the garage and there was no sign of the mother, less than 12 hours after she had dropped her off the night before following a work trip.
She decided to call police to the house before Watts had arrived home, and bodycam footage that was shot by a member of the Frederick Police Department shows him staring down Atkinson multiple times during the search of his home.

Watts is also seen sweating profusely and avoiding eye contact throughout the time that police are searching his home.
It is also Atkinson who is seen making all the phone calls to friend and family members, while also searching for clues as Watts stands by aloof.
Atkinson becomes particularly concerned in the video when she realizes that Shanann left without taking any of her medication.
Watts meanwhile barely speaks to Atkinson or even acknowledges that she is there, and in retrospect looks mostly annoyed that she has foiled his plan.
He had taken the girls to a birthday party just 24 hours prior.
It was then, on the afternoon of Sunday, August 12, that watts started texting co-worker Kodi Roberts while Bella, 4, and Celeste, 3, played in a pool.
At 5.06pm that evening, Watts set in motion his plan for disposing of his wife and daughters’ bodies, as he texted Roberts that he would be making the drive out to one of the more distant oil fields that was managed by his company, Anadarko Petroleum Corporation.
It is also where the bodies of Shanann, Bella and Celeste were discovered just days after they went missing.
Watts, per his own admission in interviews with law enforcement officials, then took his daughters home, gave them both showers, fed them pizza and got them each a snack before putting them to bed.
He noted that both girls were eager to see their mother, who was due to return home late that night.
Hours later, the girls and their mother Shannan were all murdered in the house, and their bodies disposed of at Cervi 6-29.
Shanann’s father was one of the last people to see the girls, revealing he spoke to them on FaceTime on Sunday evening.
Frank Rzucek stated in an interview with law enforcement officials that he spoke with both Watts and Bella, who was eating cold pizza and candy.
He made no mention of seeing Celeste.
Watts claimed that he put the girls down before 8pm and that Bella woke up twice, running out to ask when her mom would be returning home.
The young girl’s father and soon-to-be-murderer admitted to assuring her that she would see her mother in the morning.
