Chris Watts Vs Scott Perterson

Chris Watts and Scott Perterson both took the nation by storm. Both men were accused of killing their pregnant wives, and both cases were incredibly public. Chris Watts was accused of murdering his wife Shannan and his two kids Bella and Celetese in Frederick Colorado. Scott Perterson was accused of murdering his pregnant wife Laci in Modesto California. While both cases have their own differences, one detail about these men turned them into suspects very quickly. Scott and Chris both displayed cold, uncaring, and suspicious behavior throughout the investigations, and neither of them could seem to form a logical story about details of what happened. Their demeanor throughout the case was published by the media and police interrogation . The

Laci Peterson was reported missing on December 24, 2004 by her stepfather, from her home in Modesto California. Her husband , Scott Peterson was suspicious from the beginning in the eyes of the public.

This behavior was odd considering that Shannan was pregnant and reportedly ill that day. Chris not wanting them inside the home alone made it seem like he was nervous about them potentially discovering something, and his calm demeanor raises a red flag.
