The museum night watchman claimed he was knocked unconscious from behind while doing his rounds at 2:00 AM. When Detective Gray arrived, she noticed the watchman's wristwatch was stopped at 10:15 and the glass face was completely intact. What did Gray conclude?
The watchman faked the attack.
If he was genuinely struck hard enough to be knocked out at 2:00 AM, his watch wouldn't have been manually set or stopped at 10:15 with an unblemished glass face. He fabricated the timeline.
