The Watch That Sent One Woman Free-and Another to Prison

Fear of a hidden error: a running wristwatch engraved "For Mara always" was found face up on a septic tank deflector three weeks after the tank was pumped dry-an object that toppled one prosecution and built another. Who placed the watch inside the tank after service, and was it a deliberate act or a single mistake that ruined lives?

In this episode, we tell the story as the evidence unfolded: the discovery of the watch, the connection to twenty-six-year-old Mara Elgin, and how that solitary item shifted the course of investigations and trials. What does a single object reveal about who was with Mara, and who was lying?

Date: December 28, 2016 (last contact)
Location: Sutter Fork Lane (room rented from Eugene Simpson)
