Chris Watts Update: Family Home Where Murders Took Place To Be Auctioned Off

Colorado killer Chris Watts will be receiving a letter in prison informing him that he has just weeks to remove his belongings from his home before it is auctioned off, Radar Online reported.

The home, where he killed his pregnant wife and two young children will be sold to the highest bidder in an auction on April 17.

The letter to Watts reads, “Notice is hereby given that I will at public auction on Wednesday April 17, 2019, sell to the highest and best bidder for cash,” Radar Online reported.

The news outlet also said that the original principal amount due on the home is $392, 709 with an outstanding principal of $349,938.09.

Neighbors to the Watts family told Radar Online that Shannon Watts’ family has already removed her belongings from the home , leaving behind everything her husband owned.

“He will most certainly not be transported back to Colorado to obtain his belongings,” a staff member at the Colorado Office of the Attorney General told Radar Online. “If there are belongings, he would have to arrange to have his family pick them up. He can’t just go home – he’s in jail for murder.”

The majority of the assets of the family were in Watts' name, which Shannon showed concern over, telling two girlfriends when she was considering leaving and divorcing her husband, the news outlet reported.

Watts, who is currently serving multiple sentences in a Waupun, Wisconsin maximum security prison, strangled his wife and two daughters in their beds and dumped the children’s bodies in an oil tank. He buried Shannon in a shallow grave.
