Chris Watts, the Colorado man who strangled his pregnant wife and smothered their two young daughters in 2018, has applied to marry a woman he met from behind bars. Watts, 41, is reportedly seeking to wed 39-year-old Ohio realtor Lizzie Henderson, who has relocated to Wisconsin and visited him dozens of times at the maximum-security prison where he is serving five consecutive life sentences.

The pair have submitted a formal marriage request through the prison system, and Henderson has already begun using the surname 'Watts'. The application, first reported by the Daily Mail, has reignited scrutiny of one of America's most notorious domestic murder cases eight years after it shocked the country.
