Monster City
Monster City: Murder, Music and Mayhem in Nashville's Dark Age | Michael Arntfield
2 posts | 1 read | 9 to read
The never-before-told true account of the serial killers who terrorized Nashville's music scene for decades--and the cold-case Murder Squad determined to bring an end to their sadistic sprees. Nashville--a haven for aspiring musicians and a magnet for country-music fans. By the time Pat Postiglione arrived there in 1980, it was also the scene of an unsolved series of vicious sex slayings that served as a harbinger of worse to come. As Postiglione was promoted from street-beat Metro cop to detective sergeant heading Music City's elite cold-case Murder Squad, some of America's most bizarre, elusive, and savage serial killers were calling Nashville home. And during the next two decades, the body count climbed. From Vanderbilt University to dive bars and out-of-the-way motels, Postiglione followed the bloody tracks of these ever-escalating crimes--each enacted by a different psychopath with the same intent: to murder without motive or remorse. But of all the investigations, of all the monsters Postiglione chased, few were as chilling, or as game changing, as the Rest Stop Killer: a homicidal trucker who turned the interstates into his trolling ground. Next stop, Nashville. But Postiglione was waiting.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Long before I lived in an adjacent suburb, there were incredibly dark days in Music City. This is about the storied career of Det. Pat Postiglione, who spent a quarter of a century on Nashville‘s “M Squad,” and the crimes he helped solve. The serial killers and cold cases are astounding; particularly bad in the 90s. We delve deeper into the MOs, signatures, souvenirs, and the advent of DNA technology. Content warnings out the wazoo. 🙈

Hooked_on_books Great color! I painted a front door once and my result was much drippier than yours. 😳 4y
britt_brooke @Hooked_on_books Thanks!! It‘s hard. 😂😅 I‘ve done ... good enough, lol. I‘ve sanded them to death, but there are still a few blemishes and decades-old drips. There‘s no telling how many layers of paint are under there! 4y
ferskner Oh it looks great!! 4y
