Case background from Wikipedia:

Shannan returned home from a business trip to Arizona, about 1:48 a.m. on August 13, 2018, having received a ride from friend and colleague Nickole Utoft Atkinson. Chris was home with the children.

Later that day, Shanann and the two children were reported missing by Atkinson, who had become concerned when Shanann missed a scheduled OB-GYN appointment and failed to return text messages.

After Shanann missed a business meeting, Atkinson went to the Watts' home at approximately 12:10 p.m. When the doorbell and knocks went unanswered, Atkinson notified Chris and called the Frederick Police Department. Officers arrived to conduct a welfare check about 1:40 p.m. Chris, who had arrived home from work, talked with the officers and discussed ways to locate his missing family. During the welfare check, Chris had also given the police permission to search the house, which was empty. The police discovered Shanann's purse, phone, and keys inside; her car and the children's car seats were also at the house.

The FBI and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation joined the investigation the next day, August 14. Chris gave an interview to Denver station KMGH-TV outside his house pleading for his family's return. Investigators with cadaver and search dogs could be seen on the property during the interview.

Watts was arrested late on August 16, 2018. According to the arrest affidavit, Watts failed a polygraph test and subsequently confessed to murdering Shanann. Watts asked to speak to his father before making the confession. According to the affidavit, Watts was having an affair and claimed to have asked for a separation from his wife but lied about it to begin with. During the investigation, Watts claimed Shanann had strangled the children in response to his request for separation, and in a fit of rage, he strangled her and then transported the three bodies to an oil site where he worked.

The bodies of Watts' family were located by the authorities on the property of Watts's former employer on August 16. Watts had been fired from his job on August 15, the day of his arrest. The children's bodies were found in oil tanks, while Shanann was buried in a shallow grave nearby.

On August 21, Watts was charged with five counts of first-degree murder, including one count per child cited as "death of a child who had not yet attained 12 years of age and the defendant was in a position of trust"; unlawful termination of a pregnancy; and three counts of tampering with a deceased human body.
