A camera was pointed toward the Watts family's driveway on the morning of August 13, 2018. At the time, it was simply a neighborhood security camera recording an ordinary-looking morning.
But after Shanann Watts, Bella, and Celeste were reported missing, that footage became an important part of the investigation.
Investigators had a recording of Chris Watts' movements outside the home, including his work truck entering the driveway and leaving shortly afterward. More importantly, Chris was eventually shown the footage and asked to explain what investigators were seeing.
In this video, we take a closer look at the surveillance footage, the timeline it helped establish, Chris Watts' explanation for his movements, and why investigators considered independent video evidence so important.
This isn't just about what appeared on the screen. It's about how investigators used a few minutes of footage to ask bigger questions—and how those questions fit into the evidence that eventually exposed the truth.
Watch until the end, and let me know in the comments which part of the Watts investigation you want Cases Across the Border to examine next.
