Nick and Amanda Thayer, close friends of the Watts family, welcomed Chris Watts into their home shortly after his pregnant wife Shanann and their two daughters, Bella and Celeste, went missing. The couple says they are haunted by the fact that they let the accused killer sleep across the hall from their 5-year-old daughter.

Chris Watts, 33, is being held on suspicion of three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of tampering with a deceased human body, according to court documents. A law enforcement source told 9Wants to Know that Chris Watts confessed to killing his wife and two daughters.
