Chris Watts liked “animalistic” rough sex and tried to strangle his mistress during a tryst! That’s the chilling revelation of the accused murderer’s former lover, a brunette stylist! According to the mistress, the reviled creep — who, in a case eerily reminiscent of the Laci Peterson case, is charged with murdering his pregnant wife and two young daughters — solicited dates on the app Tinder, which he used to hook up with her. The woman, whose name The National ENQUIRER is withholding, is in her 30s and bears an uncanny resemblance to Watts’ slain wife, Shanann. She claimed she had a six-week affair with Watts in May and June. Read on for details of the woman’s encounters with the suspected “Colorado Killer,” and click here for more true-crime news….

The shaken gal said: “He would put his hands on my throat during intercourse! Now that I know who he is, it gives me the chills! I can’t even think about it. But nothing about him alarmed me until he tried to choke me. That freaked me out. He had a rape fantasy.

"He was very kinky," the woman recalled. “When we had sex, it was very animalistic. He just zoned out into a different person. He wasn’t the kind of guy who would cuddle and watch a movie,” she added.

Watts lived in Frederick, Colo., about 30 miles away from his hookup’s home, she said, and charmed her with dates at a pizza joint and Chick-fil-A. “He seemed normal at first,” she recalled. “He didn’t strike me as violent or strange.”

They saw each other two or three times a week, but the woman quickly noticed Watts was “always sneaking around.” Initially, she said she didn’t mind because she wasn’t looking for a serious relationship.

But after any hint of romance fizzled out and the Tinder mistress realized Watts was using her for sex, she dropped him. After his arrest, the stunned gal recognized her former lover — and felt sick to her stomach. She also said Watts lied from the start.

Although he has continued to maintain his innocence, Peterson was convicted in 2004 of first-degree murder in Laci’s death and second-degree murder in Conner’s killing.
He is now on death row in California. Watts’ lover could prove to be a key witness in his prosecution, according to legal experts.

When contacted, the Weld County District Attorney’s office said: “We are unable to confirm whether any specific person had been involved in the case as it is an ongoing investigation.”

Watts said he went into a rage and strangled Shanann to death before loading the bodies of his three family members into a truck and taking them to a work site. There, he said he buried his wife near two oil tanks and dumped the girls inside the tanks.
