While most people in the Watts orbit abandoned Chris early on, his friends Nick and Amanda Thayer faithfully stood by Chris and supported him. They just could NOT believe that the Chris they knew all that time was a killer. They were convinced it was just fake news and Chris was getting a raw deal. They even had him stay overnight in their house where their young daughter, who was good friends with Bella and Cece lived. This is how much they trusted him. Too sad for them and all involved.
