The Watch on the Shelf: How a DNA Swab Broke a 40-Year Murder

A clean Timex watch, brown leather band and perfectly ticking, sat upright on a bare shed shelf forty yards from a partially buried body - a deliberate image that baffled investigators for four decades. How did a decades-old touch DNA swab from that watchband finally point to the missing answer?
In this episode, we tell the story of Scott Sanders and the scene Amanda Boyd found on September 11, 1983, follow the two-decade-plus work of Detective Dennis Pryor, and trace how a consumer DNA upload and a forensic genealogist connected a nurse to a long-cold piece of evidence. Who left the DNA on the watchband, and what did that small trace reveal about the night Sanders died?
Person: Scott Sanders
Date: September 11, 1983
Location: Calvary Lutheran Church grounds, Ridgecroft, Indiana
Investigator: Dennis Pryor
Match: Claire Pruitt (predicted 2nd-3rd cousin)
- The watch was described as a Timex with a brown leather band and unscratched crystal, still keeping perfect time when found.
- Scott Sanders was 38 years old and had been sober for two years at the time of his death.
- Sanders’ body was found partially buried under a collapsed compost fence about forty yards from the shed.
- A touch DNA swab from the watchband remained in Carver County evidence storage for nearly forty years before being profiled.
- Claire Pruitt uploaded consumer DNA results to GEDmatch in 2023, and a forensic genealogist’s August 2023 upload produced a match within hours.
