Chris Watts' Alleged Ex-Lover Speaks — but He's Not the Co-Worker Police Say Chris Was Seeing

An unnamed man on Tuesday night came forward claiming to have been a former lover of triple-murder suspect Chris Watts, who is accused of killing his pregnant wife, 34-year-old Shan’ann Watts, and their two young daughters in their Frederick, Colorado, home earlier this month.

The man — whose name and face were not shown — described the purported relationship in an interview on HLN’s Crime & Justice with Ashleigh Banfield.

The man said he was not the co-worker with whom Chris, 33, was allegedly cheating on his wife at the time of the three slayings.

A motive in the murder case has not been confirmed as allegations of Chris’ infidelity draw greater scrutiny. Those who know the Watts have described a seemingly happy union possibly beset by mounting tension.

“It’s beyond belief, really,” friend Kris Landon told PEOPLE. “And it makes you wonder about other people you know. If this couple who seemed so perfect was like this, what are the other couples like?”

The man told HLN that he and Chris were allegedly in an approximately 10-month relationship after meeting online last June. They saw each other off and on through the spring, ending things in March or April, the man said.

The unidentified man’s story has not yet been independently corroborated by news outlets, including PEOPLE, but his account of an alleged relationship with Chris does contain details about Chris’ life that are not readily available online and in public documents. Identifying information about Chris’ truck and his home matches PEOPLE’s reporting.

A source close the investigation tells PEOPLE that Chris has had relationships with both men and women outside of his marriage.

Couple in Shock as They're Charged With Murder in Death of Malnourished Daughter in Michigan

A Michigan couple has been charged with murder as they stand accused of starving their 10-month-old daughter. 

A judge told Seth Welch and his wife, Tatiana, both 27, they faced a life sentence with no possibility of parole if they are convicted.

They are accused of starving their infant daughter, Mary, who was found dead inside the Welch's farm near Grand Rapids on August 2.

His jaw dropped when the judge read off the charges, which include felony murder and child abuse, and she sobbed uncontrollably during Tuesday’s hearing. 

The baby was so malnourished she had sunken eyes and cheeks and no pulse when paramedics found her at their home, according to officials. 

Hours later, Seth Welch posted a message on Facebook saying: “Heart is absolutely shattered.  Woke up to Mary dead in her bed this morning ... Just numb right now."

An autopsy found the cause of death was malnutrition and dehydration due to neglect by adult caregivers.

The parents reportedly told police they noticed the baby was “skinny and underweight" a month ago but did not seek medical attention because of their religious beliefs and a mistrust in medicine and the government. 

Seth Welch’s Facebook page is are filled with rants against government, Disney characters, and even the "Harry Potter" series. 

Missing Iowa Jogger Mollie Tibbetts Was Doing Homework Late on the Night She Disappeared

As police try to retrace the steps of an Iowa college student who disappeared earlier this month, new information suggests she was doing homework late on the night she vanished.

Mollie Tibbetts, 20, is thought to have disappeared after going for a jog near her boyfriend’s home in Brooklyn, Iowa, on July 18. She was dog-sitting for her boyfriend who was out of town for a construction job at the time. 

It’s unclear whether she returned home after the jog but new information shows Tibbetts’ boyfriend, Dalton Jack, received a Snapchat from her around 10 p.m., which appeared to be taken indoors. 

Family members said Tibbetts is a creature of habit and usually runs each day, taking one of three routes in the area.

"I read somewhere that she was running in a cornfield. That's obviously not true," Kim Calderwood, her aunt, told ABC News. "The run happened and then she was at the house as far as we know. I don't think she would've run in the dark."

The next day, Tibbetts didn’t show up for work.

Authorities have yet to provide an official timeline. However, police have been combing through information from Tibbetts’ Fitbit, which she always wore, as well as her cellphone and social media accounts. 

“We are getting a lot of information back from that process. We are very hopeful with the electronic data we are getting back,” Mitch Mortvedt, assistant director of the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation, previously told the Des Moines Register. “We are relying on the FBI heavily because it’s an ever-changing world in technology."

Crime Stoppers is now offering $1,000 for any information in the 20-year-old's disappearance.

Victim's girlfriend says Florida gunman provoked fatal 'stand your ground' shooting

Britany Jacobs, the girlfriend of the man shot and killed in a Florida parking lot last week, says her boyfriend was just coming to her defense and the gunman “wanted someone to be angry at.” Now she wants “justice,” she says.

Jacobs, who witnessed the shooting along with the couple’s 5-year-old son, said she and her two small children were waiting in the car for her boyfriend, Markeis McGlockton, while he ran into a convenience store in Clearwater, Florida. Onlooker Michael Drejka got out of his parked car and began “harassing” her about being parked in a handicap space, she said.

Surveillance video showed McGlockton exiting the store and shoving Drejka to the ground. Drejka then drew a handgun and shot and killed McGlockton.

“He wanted somebody to be angry at. He just wanted someone to fight him,” Jacobs said in an interview with "Good Morning America" on Monday. “He was picking a fight. I’m just sitting, waiting for my family to come back to the car.”

Drejka told deputies in Pinellas County he feared for his life, according to authorities, but McGlockton's girlfriend.

Police said they won't press charges against Drejka, who is white, for shooting McGlockton, who was black, citing the state's so-called "stand your ground" law.

Jacobs, who was waiting in the vehicle with the couple’s two younger children -- an infant and a 3-year-old -- said she started feeling “scared” when she noticed how fast the argument was escalating. It wasn’t long before McGlockton came out along with their 5-year-old son and tried to diffuse the situation.

Surveillance video from the Circle A Food Store in Clearwater, about 30 minutes east of Tampa, showed McGlockton leaving the store and shoving Drejka hard to the ground.

“By this time a witness pulls up and everybody hears us going back and forth with one another. ... A witness goes in the store and he let the owner know that there was somebody out there messing with a woman in a car,” she said. “My man hears what’s going on, sees the guy yelling at me and I’m sitting in the car. My man is defending me and his children, so he pushes him down.

Day care owner gets probation for trying to kill toddler

Nataliia Karia, 43, received her punishment in Hennepin County court after pleading guilty to attempted murder and third-degree assault earlier. She also pleaded guilty to criminal vehicular operation for hitting a pedestrian, a bicyclist and another driver as she fled from her home in a minivan in November 2016.

Karia also must follow court-ordered mental health treatment and will be on electronic home monitoring for at least two months, the Star Tribune reported. She will live with her adult son but cannot have unsupervised contact with her daughters or other minors.

According to the criminal complaint, a father was dropping off his son at Karia's home when Karia led him toward the basement, where he saw the toddler hanging from a noose. He released the child and fled with him. The 16-month-old boy survived.

Judge Jay Quam agreed with the assessment by doctors that Karia was "a low risk" to reoffend. He called her actions "the perfect storm of factors unlikely to ever be repeated."

Defense attorney Brockton Hunter expressed relief on behalf of Karia.

"We came in here with our hearts in our throats," Hunter said.

He said Karia, who has spent 20 months in jail since the incident and will get credit for her time already served, will leave jail no later than Tuesday.

Karia, who arrived in the United States from Ukraine in 2006, promised to follow probation and said in court she was glad no one died.

Prosecutor Christina Warren pushed for prison time. Warren raised doubts that Karia could be properly supervised outside of prison and receive the care she needs to restore her mental health.

In a court filing, Warren wrote that instead of being the person most able and willing to protect the boy from harm, Karia "left him hanging by a noose around his neck in her basement."

The defense argued for probation, pointing out that Karia already has served time in jail and lost her child care career.
