Chris Watts Will Have to Give Up DNA & Fingerprints for Evidence Testing

Colorado father Chris Watts, accused of murdering his pregnant wife and their two young daughters, has been ordered to give up cheek swabs and copies of his handprints and footprints as well as photographs of his hands to assist prosecutors in testing evidence, PEOPLE confirms.

The prosecution had sought to obtain such identifying information from the 33-year-old in two motions filed earlier this month.

They noted then that “numerous items of evidence have been collected and are in the process of being sent to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation for testing.” For example, “possible bare foot impressions” were found on a non-porous bag found near where 34-year-old Shan’ann Watts, Chris’ wife, and children Bella and Celeste were discovered dead in August.

The judge in Chris’ case granted the prosecution motions on Wednesday.

Chris’ attorney had objected to the requests, arguing they were unconstitutional and lacking probable cause, forcing Chris to incriminate himself and submit to “unreasonable searches and seizures.”

In siding with the prosecution, Marcelo A. Kopcow noted that he had previously found probable cause in order to allow Chris’ arrest for murder.

Kopcow described the requested procedures as “minimal intrusions” on Chris that would help establish “complete and accurate forensic testing and analysis.” Such benefits — to prosecutors as well as, possibly, the defense — were clearly compelling, he found.

Pathalogical liar. If he saw Shanann in the act of strangling Celeste, a normal father would have immediately pulled her off of the child, and start cpr and phone 911. His story makes no sense and is total bs. Death penalty. An eye for an eye. He admitted killing Shanann knowing she was pregnant, so that right there shows he was more than capable of strangling the two precious girls.

The Mistress killed the kids and he killed Shannon - Thats why he doesnt want to give the DNA - and in the 1st interview he said "Nicole has done nothing, Please leave her out of this" - The fact that he first said it says alot.

Couldn't DNA be collected from his lunch tray or water cup. His clothes, shoes, or toothbrush

I think his dad helped him bury the bodies. People are saying how could he bury his own girls in oil? His dad could’ve met him out there, and disposed the bodies, himself. I say this because his dad is a COP, and Chris refused to talk to anyone when arrested, until he spoke to his dad. I find that to be very strange!

With his muscular strength, he easily could have suffocated all of them. No blood, no struggle from such little girls. Let him 
loose in the general prison population....he won't last long.

There may be a ton of bizarre details, that we may never know...add to this, Colorado's drawn out cases due to lack of laws ( 25 years and counting on the jonbenet Ramsey case, STILL unsolved ), here's another case, that may be drawn out also, 25 plus years...why, Colorado cases go national, lack of laws, drawn out, lack of manpower...I pray, so that the families can have closure and heal; Colorado gets this ball rolling. ..then, tie a rock to Chris watts feet, toss him in the oil tanks....
