Watts' mortgage bank is looking to recoup $349, 938.09 of the $392,709.00 he and his wife borrowed in 2013 to purchase the handsome home. Neighbors told Radar that Shannon's family had already moved her belongings from the home, but left the murderous miscreant's stuff behind.

“He will most certainly not be transported back to Colorado to obtain his belongings,” a staff member at the Colorado Office of the Attorney General told Radar. “If there are belongings, he would have to arrange to have his family pick them up. He can’t just go home – he’s in jail for murder.”

“This is perhaps the most inhumane and vicious crime that I have handled out of the thousands of cases I have seen,” said presiding judge Marcelo Kopcow of Colorado’s 19th Judicial District Court. Watts agreed to plead guilty and accept multiple life sentences to avoid the death penalty.
