Since Watts was arrested and charged with his wife’s and daughters’ murders, Kessigner has remained mostly out of the spotlight. She did give a detailed statement to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. After Watts was convicted, she moved out of Colorado and rumors floated around that she had entered the Witness Protection Program in order to start over. Because she had never testified in a court of law, however, she was never technically a "witness" on a stand.

There is no concrete evidence of this, but she did have concerns about how she could live her life after everything and voiced those concerns to the police in her interview where she explained the length and details of her affair with Watts. She recognized that her name would be associated with the case and said she "would not be surprised if it's gonna be hard to go out in public sometimes for a couple of years."
