And this week, prosecutors announced a worrying trend by releasing dozens of letters sent to the 33-year-old Fayetteville native.

One woman, named Candace, told him: “In my heart, you are a great guy.”

“I’m hoping to brighten your days,” wrote another woman. While another even sent a picture of herself in a bikini.

Earlier this year, Chris reported his wife Shanann – who was 15-weeks pregnant with their third child – and daughters Bella, 4, and 3-year-old Celeste missing.

Days later, authorities discovered three bodies they believed to be the missing Colorado females. They had been strangled to death.

Chris was taken into custody and held in the Weld County Jail, north of Denver, before eventually being arrested on three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of tampering with a deceased human body

He pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in exchange for avoiding the death penalty, and is currently serving three life sentences after being sentenced in November.

Earlier this month, Chris was moved from a prison in Colorado to one in Wisconsin for his safety.

His mistress, with whom he was having an affair before killing his wife, has been reportedly put into witness protection after receiving death threats.

Judy Ho, a psychologist and co-host of Face The Truth told Inside Edition that it’s not uncommon for criminals to receive love and adoration from strangers who have heard about them on the news.

She said: “These women have created a fantasy life for themselves especially with their pretend relationship with these men behind bars.

“It is oftentimes what we talk about when women seem to be attracted by bad boys. It is because they want to be the special person that can turn this life around and be able to attribute that to their own self esteem.”

Well, there are bad boys and then there are multiple murderers!

A letter printed in the Huffington Post read: “I want to get to know you soooo bad its not even funny.

“Literally your on my mind almost every single day since you were in the news.”

Another wrote: “In my heart I know you are a great guy. If you do write me back I’d be the happiest girl alive that’s for sure.”

She signed off with hashtags #TeamChris, #ChrisIsInnocent, #LoveHim and #SooooCute.
