'Will Do Anything': Chris Watts' Alleged Prison Letters Exposed

The newspaper reported that Watts writes lengthy letters to younger male inmates, suggesting personal attachments extending beyond ordinary prison friendships. The correspondence reportedly accompanied relationships in which prisoners sought his attention and affection.

The report described younger men who 'will do anything' for Watts, highlighting claims of intense devotion among inmates. The phrase was attributed to the prison employee quoted in the report.

On 13 August 2018, Watts murdered his pregnant wife, Shanann, and their daughters, four-year-old Bella and three-year-old Celeste. He buried Shanann near an oil facility in Colorado and concealed the children's bodies inside crude oil tanks.
