Chris Watts, the infamous face behind the Netflix true-crime documentary American Crime: The Family Next Door is reportedly spending his days in prison receiving letters from women all over the country. Watts was sentenced to life after he murdered his pregnant wife and two daughters became the subject of a series on the streaming giant.
According to a PEOPLE exclusive, a source revealed: “He got a lot of letters at first. Many of them are from women who thought he was handsome and felt compassion for him. He had nothing better to do, so he wrote them back. And he started having penpals. A couple of them stood out, and they’ve kept in contact.
Watts strangled his wife Shannan to death in their Colorado home on August 13, 2018, before driving her body to a job site at the oil company he was working at. He then disposed of the woman’s body before smothering his daughters – Bella, 4, and Celeste, 3. He soon pleaded guilty to the murders and the judge handed him a life sentence.
