Officers: Watson's actions raised suspicions

By
ATLANTA - Testimony is continuing Tuesday in the trial of a Fayette County man charged with murder in his wife&#39;s death. <br> <br> Law enforcement officers working the case five years ago testified Monday that Jim Watson&#39;s story did not add up. <br> <br> Beverley Watson disappeared from her home on January 20th, 1997. Her bones were found near Fairburn two years later. <br> <br> Investigators with the Fayette County Sheriff&#39;s Department said that they noticed the 39-year-old Watson was hiding two scratches on his face. <br> <br> They testified that Watson told officers he wanted to look for his wife&#39;s car before filing a missing person report, though authorities said the car had been parked in the Watsons&#39; garage since Mrs. Watson got home January 17th.
