    podcast cover
    SYNOPSIS: Frederick Police Department Detective, DAVE BAUMHOVER, requested I, Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Agent TAMMY LEE, conduct a polygraph on CHRISTOPHER LEE WATTS (Age 33; 05/16/1985). The polygraph was in reference to WATTS’ possible involvement or knowledge in the disappearance of his pregnant wife, SHANANN WATTS (Age 34; 01/10/1984), and their two young daughters, BELLA (Age 4; 12/17/2013) and CELESTE “CECE” (Age 3; 07/17/2015). Indicated (DI) on his polygraph. ACTION TAKEN: On Wednesday, August 15, 2018, CHRISTOPHER “CHRIS” WATTS voluntarily consented to a recorded polygraph interview. The interview took place at the Frederick Police Department, which was located at 333 5th Street in Frederick, Colorado. It was my understanding the primary purpose of the interview was to determine if WATTS had any knowledge or involvement in the disappearance of his wife and two (2) young daughters. The day before the polygraph interview, I assisted the Frederick Police Department with the initial investigation into the disappearance of SHANANN, BELLA, and CELESTE WATTS. I also observed a voluntary interview with CHRIS, which was conducted the prior evening by FBI Special Agent (SA) GRAHM CODER. During the interview with SA CODER, WATTS denied having any knowledge regarding the whereabouts of his wife and children. WATTS was also adamant there was no infidelity in his marriage of any kind. SA CODER asked CHRIS if he would be willing to take a polygraph and CHRIS agreed. CHRIS stated he had to pick up his father, later identified as RONNIE WATTS (Age 62; ) from the airport early the next morning, so the polygraph was scheduled for Wednesday, August 15, 2018, at 11:00 A.M. CHRIS then left the Fredrick Police Department for the evening. It should be noted that approximately 3 hours before the polygraph was scheduled to begin (8:00 A.M.), I received a phone call from Anadarko Regional Security Manager, TONY HUSKEY. HUSKEY advised he had reviewed CHRIS’ computer network traffic and it was possible CHRIS had started a relationship with an Anadarko contracted employee. HUSKEY advised he located emails between CHRIS and the contracted employee, who he identified as NICHOL “NIKKI” KESSINGER (Age 30; ). HUSKEY said it appeared a relationship between CHRIS and KESSINGER started around June of 2018. HUSKEY further explained KESSINGER was on the “Geo Sciences” side of the company and helped survey land. HUSKEY explained CHRIS and KESSINGER worked out of the same office in Platteville, Colorado. HUSKEY advised he would be forwarding the emails to law enforcement as soon as it was cleared by their legal department. The emails received by HUSKEY are attached to this report. PRE-TEST INTERVIEW: On Wednesday, August 15, 2018, at approximately 11:00 A.M., SA CODER met CHRIS in the lobby of the Fredrick Police Department and escorted him to a private interview room inside the police department. CHRIS was wearing a short-sleeve North Carolina Tar Heels t-shirt, black athletic shorts, and black flip flops (no wedding ring). I greeted CHRIS inside the interview room and the door was shut.
