Sergeant Pat Postiglione and Bill Pridemore Named 2005 Investigators of the Year
Veteran homicide detectives Pat Postiglione and Bill Pridemore were today named the Metropolitan Police Department’s Investigators of the Year for 2005.
Sergeant Postiglione, 54, a 25-year police department veteran, and Detective Pridemore, 52, a 30-year police department veteran, were honored for their relentless work over the past several years to bring closure to the 1996 Janet March missing person case that turned into a murder investigation. Due in significant part to their efforts, the Davidson County Grand Jury in December 2004 returned a second-degree murder indictment against Janet’s husband, Perry. He was expelled from Mexico last August and is now awaiting trial.
“The outstanding work on this case by Sergeant Postiglione and Detective Pridemore brought relief to Janet March’s parents and hope to the families of other cold case murder victims,” Chief Ronal Serpas said. “I am extremely proud of their efforts.”
