The Pawnshop Watch That Convicted a Killer - But Who Watched Chad?
-
Letto da:

Di:
A cheap fourteen-dollar Seiko with a cracked crystal and a rust-orange NATO strap sat under fluorescent glass long before anyone realized its owner was dead - and its pawnshop sticker reads May 3, eleven days before Chad Simmons was found face-down in a drainage easement. Who sold the watch, why was it logged early, and how did that single object unravel a sixteen-year cold case?
In this episode, we follow the sequence of events from the watch in Harmon's Pawn & Resale to the moment a handwritten ledger entry in a storage unit tied two impossible facts together. The episode covers the timeline around Chad's last days, the pawnshop paperwork, and the investigative breaks that changed the case - but who handled Chad's watch before it surfaced?
Person: Chad Simmons
Date: May 12, 2003 (time of disappearance placed that evening)
Location: drainage easement behind Vaudry Textile shed
Item: Seiko diver's watch with cracked crystal and rust-orange NATO strap
Sticker date: May 3 (display case at Harmon's Pawn & Resale)
- Chad was found face-down in about four inches of water, 310 feet from his green Ford Ranger.
- Time of death was estimated at 36 to 48 hours before discovery, placing it on May 12-13, 2003.
- Harmon's Pawn inventory sticker on the watch read May 3, more than a week before Chad was reported missing on May 14.
- Pawnshop owner Don Frey told Deputy Kevin Marsh that sticker dates reflected logging date and could lag by two or three days.
- A handwritten ledger entry in a Hildebran storage unit later connected a name and a date that overturned the transient suspect theory.
