Cervi-319.

When I went to Colorado in March 2025 I made sure to go to the (former) Watts home as well as where Cervi-319 once stood. I know the Watts family murders are a bit outside of my wheelhorse, but I doubt I’ll ever get back to Colorado so I did the most with the time I spent there. Chris killed his two young daughters and pregnant wife on August 13, 2018, and three days later their bodes were recovered at a site owned by his former employer, Anadarko Oil and Gas Company. On location, his two daughters were found in (separate) oil tanks, and Shanann’s remains were found buried in a nearby shallow grave. Shortly before he killed his family Chris had started an affair with a co-worker, Nichol Kessinger, and he admitted she was the driving force behind his actions.

As I made my way to the site where Cervi-319 once stood I noticed there was a park-like area a few miles away that is owned by the Cervi Cattle Company, which is a family-owned rodeo stock contracting company based in Greeley, Colorado. Photo taken in March 2025.
A gate at the front of the road leading to where the oil drums once stood; as I was walking around the area a farmer on a tractor passed by, and I fully expected him to pull over and hassle me but he drove right by without saying a word. Photo taken in March 2025.

There are some houses on the outskirts of where Cervi-319 once stood; I don’t know anything about them, and if they were/are occupied. Photo taken in March 2025.
