Officials in Fulton County, where Beverley Watson's remains were discovered more than a week ago, are moving forward with their investigation and hope to make a presentation to the Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard within another week.

Authorities have completed excavation at the site in south Fulton where Watson's bones were recovered, according to Maj. Terry Mulkey of the Fulton County Police Department.

A full meeting of all investigators involved in the case, along with Chief Louis Graham and Deputy Chief George Coleman, was held Monday afternoon, Mulkey said. Investigators have gathered the complete file from Fayette County officials and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and are determining how to proceed.

Fulton County investigators will meet with the Medical Examiner's office later this week, Mulkey said. At that time, they will find out if the ME believes there is enough of a suspicious nature to the death or evidence to implicate someone else's involvement, he added. Because of the condition of Watson's remains, the ME should take a little longer than normal to complete that portion of the investigation.

In addition to a regular forensic doctor, a forensic anthropologist will participate in the process. "He's the bone guy," said Mulkey.

The first thing investigators must do, along with the forensic specialists, is to "see if this is anything more than a missing person [or] person dead case," Mulkey added.

Fulton County officials will likely re-interview people mentioned in the Fayette County and GBI files before presenting the case to the DA.

Because no one has yet to even rule on an official cause of death, Fayette County law enforcement involvement in the case at this point is virtually nil. Officials at the Fayette County Sheriff's Department Monday referred inquiries to Fulton County.

In another local development over the weekend, the Watson case received a jolt when Beverley Watson's attorney turned over to investigators what he said was evidence relevant to the case.

Jim Bischoff, a Fayette County attorney, said that he was instructed by Watson to release certain evidence in the event of her death. He confirmed Monday recent media reports that he had done so, and had nothing to add to that.
