Hola hola, locas y locos — it’s La Dama del Desmadre from Trauma, Tacos & True Crime.

Today we’re in Frederick, Colorado (August 2018) for the Watts case — a story that looked “picture perfect” online… and turned out to be a whole DAMN MASK. The kind where everybody wants the highlight reel, but nobody wants the truth.

We’re breaking down the timeline, the public plea, the moments that made people’s stomachs drop, and how fast the “perfect family” story fell apart in real time. And yes — we’re going to talk about the uncomfortable part: how appearances, control, and ego can hide in plain sight… until they don’t.

Quick disclaimer so nobody tries to sue me because they got emotional: I’m not your therapist, I’m not your doctor, and I’m not diagnosing nobody. This is not medical advice. Relax. Breathe. And if you hear kids in the background good. That means everybody’s alive. This is MY HOME not a recording studio.

At the end we’re doing our grounding comfort food moment — because this case is heavy, and we don’t just listen to trauma and pretend we’re fine.

If you or someone you love is in danger, please reach out to local emergency services or a domestic violence hotline in your area.
