Intro

“Welcome to Murder By Nature, where we discuss True Crime, Mystery disappearances, and unsolved cases!. I’m Jazmin Hernandez, your host!

Thank them for listening and being a part of this community.

Before we jump into this case, I want to stress a few points. I have always been very hesitant to research this case due to my emotions towards this one. I have been a true crime fan since the lacey Peterson case, but this case and that one have always been super hard to discuss. Before jumping into the case, I want to stress that Shanann’s social media is still up, and when you go to Facebook and like or try and comment, it brings that post back up to her friends on the platform. Please remember her family is active on Facebook; they see those comments and likes with photos of her and the murderer. They have commented numerous times to people not to like, comment, or share as this is still something they are processing and would not like to see those in their feeds. With that, let's get started.

Shanann Rzucek was born on Jan 10, 1984 in Passaic county New Jersey to Frank and Sandra Rzucek. Shanann was an older sister to her brother Frankie, and her family was extremely close. Shanann was trying to make a name for herself in this world. Her family did not come from money, and she knew she would have to fight tooth and nail to give herself the life she dreamed of. Shanann purchased land in CO and built her first home alone until she met Leonard King. The two were married and attempted to build a life with each other, but from Shanann’s side, she wasn't happy. Her confidence dropped, and she was left in a mess. Shanann and Leonard divorced in 2009. 

In 2010 Shanann was on Facebook when she got a friend request from Christopher Watts. She recalls, “What the heck? I’m never going to meet him. I have a ton of FB friends,” Chris continued to pursue Shanann to the point where she gave in. Chris and Shanann were married in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Nov 3rd, 2012, and by the following year, the couple was expecting their first child Bella. This was something that she had dreamed of for years. When Shanann was younger, she was diagnosed with Lupus and struggled hard with her illness. She stated that when she met Chris, she was at her lowest of lows, and he stuck by her accepting her for who she was. She couldn't imagine 3 short years later; they would welcome their first child into the world. Two years later, the co
