Elementary 2.0: The Unreleased Police Evidence on the Scott Watson Case

by Ian Wishart

THE EVIDENCE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN: Police Witness Statements Inside For nearly two decades, authors and documentary-makers have given you their own versions of the Scott Watson evidence, sometimes based on faded memories of people interviewed five or six years after the events in question. Now, for the first time, with the release here you can read exactly what key witnesses told police, and judge for yourself whether others have quoted them correctly. What did Guy Wallace, Hayden Morresey and Sarah Dyer really see when they dropped Ben & Olivia off to a mystery boat? Why did Wallace tell police that Watson's boat Blade was "very similar" to the mystery vessel? Which star witness positively identified Blade being repainted by the mystery man at Picton? Regardless of whether you believe Watson is guilty or innocent, the release of these key documents will show once and for all whose stories have changed over time, and what the witnesses really said. What you are about to read may challenge everything you thought you knew about this highly controversial murder case...

About the author

Ian Wishart is a multi-award winning investigative journalist and bestselling author of more than 20 books, who's now in his fourth decade in the news business. His writing style has often been compared to John Grisham by reviewers.

He's been a radio News Director, a Chief of Staff for TV3 News and a magazine editor. His work has featured in the Times of London, Daily Mail, New Zealand Herald and America's massive Coast to Coast radio programme - to name a few. His books Totalitaria, Air Con and Vitamin D became Amazon bestsellers worldwide.

While writing his first book, The Paradise Conspiracy, Wishart's TVNZ office was discovered to have been bugged, his home was broken into, the manuscript for the book stolen, and an attempt was made on his life. Needless to say, he survived to write the story.

The first four chapters of The Paradise Conspiracy inspired movie director Geoff Murphy ("Young Guns II", "Under Siege 2") to produce the movie "Spooked" starring Cliff Curtis ("Runaway Jury", "Live Free or Die Hard") in a loose portrayal of Wishart's role as an investigative journalist.

He's been shot at, tear-gassed and stalked, but Wishart says his motivation remains telling the stories that "need to be told", whether its new leads on cold case murders, or government espionage.

As well as writing books, Wishart also divides his time between operating the http://www.investigatedaily.com and http://www.ianwishartpublishing.com websites - the latter catering to his writing and publishing clients.
