DODGE COUNTY -- Chris Watts, the Colorado man who killed his pregnant wife and two children, has been moved to a prison in Wisconsin. Watts, who is serving multiple life sentences, arrived at the Dodge Correctional Institution in Waupun last week, and will most likely be moved to another Wisconsin facility.

A spokesperson for the Colorado Department of Corrections says Watts was moved for safety reasons. Online records show he is now in the Wisconsin Department of Corrections.

"He has been moved out of Colorado for security concerns due to him being a high profile offender," Mark Fairbairn, a Department of Corrections spokesman said. "I cannot tell you where but can tell you the victims' family and district have been notified of his location."
Watts pleaded guilty last month in a Colorado court to first-degree murder and other charges in the death of his wife and young daughters. He was sentenced to five life sentences with no possibility of parole.
Shanann Watts and their daughters Bella, 4, and Celeste, 3, were reported missing on August 13. Shanann Watts was 15 weeks pregnant and had been planning a party to reveal the gender of the new baby when they went missing. Her father has said that the baby was a boy that Shanann Watts would have named Nico Lee.

Chris Watts initially put out a plea for his family's return and denied having anything to do with their disappearance.
Three days later, the body of Shanann Watts was found in a shallow grave. The bodies of Bella and Celeste were found in oil tanks at a company where Watts had worked.

After authorities found the bodies, Chris Watts changed his story, telling police he had strangled Shanann Watts in a fit of rage after seeing his wife choking Celeste.
But authorities revealed a different story.
Prosecutors said Watts strangled his wife for at least 2 minutes, not in an uncontrollable rage. Then he suffocated Bella and Celeste and drove their bodies to the work site.

Watts, authorities said, was having an affair. The woman, a coworker, said Watts told her he and his wife were separating.
As law enforcement officials searched the site where the bodies were discovered, prosecutors say Watts was texting his girlfriend about their future.

In a bare white room at the Frederick Police Department, he told his father that he'd "freaked out" and killed his wife in a fury after a fight over plans to separate, according to newly released video from the Weld County District Attorney's office. (FILE PHOTO)
