How Chris Watts Went From Family Man To Family Killer

How Chris Watts Went From Family Man To Family Killer

My special guest tonight is author Lena Derhally who here to discuss her new book about the murder of an entire family that is almost identical to the Scott Peterson case.

My Daddy is a Hero, How Chris Watts Went from Family Man to Family Killer

In this, the first and only psychological exploration of the Watts family murders, psychotherapist Lena Derhally has pieced together the crime, the events leading to it, and most of all, her beliefs about the question we are all still asking. Why?

Included is an in-depth look at community psychopaths, the different subtypes of narcissism, and interviews with a neuroscientist, a criminal psychologist, and a journalist in order to determine what in Chris Watts twisted makeup allowed him to hide who he really is for so long.

Get her book!

00:00:32.180 --> 00:00:44.679
And so right from an early age, they understand that something is very different about them. And they call, you know, normal people, I'm putting in quotes, neurotypical people. And so they're not neurotypical.
