Distancing language:  Nothing  ... nobody was here. When interviewed in front of his house, Chris Watts didn’t volunteer the names of his pregnant wife or their young daughters age 3 and 4.   He described his family members as “nothing was here … nobody was here.” The terms ‘nothing’ and ‘nobody’ indicates that Chris Watts couldn’t utter the names of his family members and shows how he devalued and distanced himself from them. After his arrest, he confessed to the murders of his pregnant wife and their unborn son and their two preschool aged daughters.From Head to Toes, the BODY Always Shows the TRUTH.
