Chris Watts still loves his mistress and wanted to be her with so much he slaughtered his family. But he laments that he would not be in prison if it was not for her.
‘If I had not met Nikki, I would never have killed my family,’ he told author Cherlyn Cadle in letters and interviews for her explosive upcoming book, Letters from Christopher.
‘He was mesmerized by her. She showed him respect that he didn’t feel like he’d ever been shown before,’ Cadle told DailyMailTV in an exclusive interview.
Watts also claims to still love Nichol Kessinger, the mistress he met at work and had been seeing for two months when he decided to murder his pregnant wife Shanann, and daughters Bella, 4, and Celeste 3, so that he could be with her.
The 34-year-old was so enamored with Nichol, he even tried to cause Shanann to miscarry their son Nico, giving her the powerful painkiller Oxycodone, after Nichol told Watts she wanted to ‘give him his first son.’
‘Christopher says he loved her like he has never loved anyone else before,’ Cadle said. ‘At the same time, he loves Shanann although he knows that she was not his soulmate and not the person he was supposed to be with.’
Watts has wondered about where Nichol is, and told Cadle he has received some letters and postcards, signed with different names, and wonders if they might be from the woman he does call ‘his soulmate.’
Watts, 34, confessed his deepest feelings to Cadle, a 65-year-old grandmother from Illinois, who wrote him a letter earlier this year asking if he would take part in a book to put to rest any lingering questions about the case.
To her great surprise, he agreed. The book, Letters From Christopher, is on pre-order and will be published October 7.
