Watts was given five life sentences for killing his pregnant wife Shanann and their two young daughters in 2018. The case is back in the limelight after Netflix released a true crime documentary about the case, American Murder: The Family Next Door. The documentary ends with Watts’ court case, in which he was told he would never leave prison. He is currently serving his sentence at Dodge Correctional Institution, a Waupun Wisconsin prison.
According to a source in prison with Watts, he is in regular correspondence with lots of women. The source told People magazine: “He got a lot of letters at first. Many of them are from women who thought he was handsome and felt compassion for him. He had nothing better to do, so he wrote them back. And he started having pen pals. A couple of them stood out, and they’ve kept in contact.” The source says they don’t care about his crimes, and instead “they have compassion on him, despite what he did.”
The number of letters he has had has increased since the Netflix documentary was released, with the source adding that in the past week he has had “more than 10”. They said: “Some of the letters are angry. A lot of them are from people of faith who want to pray for him. But then he gets letters from women who want to connect with him, you know, romantically. He responds because he doesn’t have anything better to do.”
The Daily Mail reports that Watts has been getting up to 60 letters in just a few weeks – the majority being from women, some sending him photos too.
