The Colorado man accused of killing his pregnant wife and two young daughters has been charged with murder, prosecutors said.
When Shanann Watts, 34, and her children, Celeste, 3, and Bella, 4, were reported missing last Monday by a family friend, Watts' husband, Chris Watts, spoke to reporters, claiming his wife disappeared without a trace.
Watts, 33, was then taken into custody Wednesday.
The bodies of Watts' wife and children were recovered Thursday.
