quotChristopher was getting all these letters from womenquotamp160Cadle explained in an exclusive interview with MediaVillage quotThis fan club that he has when I wrote him I told him up front that39s not where I was coming from I was honest and I think he needed someone to talk to and get things off his chest People still believed Shanann had killed the girls and he hadn39t seen anyone else since being imprisoned in August except for the night before his hearing when he was able to spend a halfhour with his parents and his sisterquotHe had been alone all that time and had experienced traumaquot she continued quotA lot of things went on in prison I think he just needed someone to talk to and that he could share this with and I was easy I think maybe he thought he could manipulate me somewhatquotHe didn39tquotCadle39s relationship with Watts became personal after he agreed to an inperson visit for the book she was penning However unlike his supporters she was never captivated by him quotThat first meeting he was kind gentle and consideratequot she recalled quotHe just seemed like a nice guy It wasnamp8217t until we started talking about what had happened that I saw darkness in this man I see why some people might be enamored by him but I never felt that way I had empathy for him in the beginning because it39s such a horrible story and to think that he could do that yet he seemed so normal and so nice at least in the beginningamp8221It wasn39t until Watts forewarned Cadle of a letter he had written that she understood just how dark a spirit he possessed quotHe warned me that he was sending a letterquot she recalled quotHe said 39It39s long but you really need to read it as it39s very important The contents are hard for me to say I can39t say it to you in person I had to write it down39quotThe letter shook Cadle to her core and forever changed her life quotIt detailed how he had tried to kill the girls at home and they both woke up againquot she said quotSo he took them both out to the oil field and killed them He described that detail for detail I sobbed afterward It hurt hearing what he had done to his family It39s so shocking From that moment I believed this guy was the awful monster people talked about It39s a heavy feeling thinking you are responsible for bringing tremendous hurt to an already hurting family I thought he was maybe manipulating me allowing me to be the one to tell that horrible story But the other side is that the story had to be told He couldn39t continue to be this nice guy everybody loved Although some still doquotThe validity of Watt39s admission would come under question by those still believing his innocence and Cadle already distraught by the confession faced a barrage of differing opinions regarding the letter39s authenticity quotI respect other people39s opinionsquot she said quotBut the bottom line is Christopher gave me in detail what he had done in the letter I have no doubt what he told me is the truth He killed Shanann and the girls He had too many very specific details to have made it upquotCellmate Secrets Chris Watts opens an interesting dialogue how could a seemingly normal husband and father to a beautiful family do something so unthinkable The image of Watts pleading for his family is ingrained in the minds of his supporters However Cadle has a very different image of him quotThis is only my opinionquot she said of the nation39s introduction to Watts quotI don39t know that he did this on purpose but you saw what he looked like on the porch that day You saw his physique He was handsome and cleancutquotBut seeing him in prison he looked nothing like he didquot she continued quotHe39d lost his physique was almost bald and a far cry from that guy on the porch He was a very different man I think that39s indicative of the affair he was caught up in his narcissism and it all being about him and how he looked Now that he39s in prison that narcissism doesn39t go very far People still want to believe he39s innocent and I think that39s true of different things in life Goodlooking people get a lot of things people who aren39t don39tquotDespite the anguish Cadle endured throughout her association with Watts she39s pleased she accomplished what she set out do to quotI think Shanann39s family received closurequot she concluded quotI think Christopher is very sorry that he39s in prison but I believe if he could get away with killing Shannan and not serve any jail time he would do it again The girls I don39t know about but I39ve never seen any emotion or remorse from him about ShannanquotCellmate Secrets Chris Watts will be telecast Friday June 25 at 10 pm on LifetimeClick the social buttons to share this content with your friends and colleaguesThe opinions and points of view expressed in this content are exclusively the views of the author andor subjects and do not necessarily represent the views of MediaVillagecomMyersBizNet Inc management or associated writers
