It seems that Chris Watts' decision to finally share the details of how he killed his pregnant wife and two daughters may have something to do with divine intervention.
The killer dad, 35, who is currently serving three life sentences behind bars has discovered God in prison according to members of the legal team for the family of his deceased wife.
'We don't believe that he has been offered anything, or that here is anything that could be given to him or traded,' said one of the lawyers about Watts decision to speak with authorities.
'So I think it is the jailhouse religion. Our understanding is that he is now remorseful, and he's found God.'

Speak up: Chris Watts agreed to open up about the events that led up to the murders of his pregnant wide and children after discovering god in prison, claim lawyers (Watts and his family last March)
Behind bars: The details of that interview will be released on March 7 along with audio from the meeting
Steven Lambert, who is the head attorney for Shanann's family in the wrongful death lawsuit they have filed against Watts, said he is shocked by the admitted murderer's demeanor.
'We've had a few different conversations with him. It's almost eerie how normal some of the conversations go with him, and I don't know exactly what that's about or anything,' said Lambert.
'He's been very forthcoming. It's almost like calling a neighbor.'
The lawyers also say that Watts is 'friendly,' and appears happy to be hearing from them in prison.
Watts agreed to a plea deal in the murders that spared him a lengthy trial and the death penalty but put him behind bars for three life sentences.
But authorities do not believe he has ever given a truthful account of what happened that night.
He was interviewed again about the deaths by agents from the FBI and CBI as well as a member of the Frederick Police Department last month.
'The night in question Shanann came home. She and Chris had got into a fight. They made up. They were getting along really well,' said Lambert.
'Later on, they got into a fight again. In that fight he essentially confessed to having an affair, that he wanted a divorce. That it was pretty much over between them, and she had said something to the effect of, "well you're not going to see the kids again."'
Lambert then added: 'As a consequence of that conversation he strangled her to death.'
