Endgame

There's actually a lot of people out there that I think they've got to wear with the murder.

“This is an absolutely ideal place to live.”

But the beauty of a cold case unit is that in some cases, we're just one step behind you.

We're never going to give up as a detective you can't do that.

My name is Papestid Leon, I'm a sergeant in Metro National Homicide Code Case Unit. My name is Bill Pridemo, I'm a detective, signed to the Homicide Code Case Unit. And we're working on the Janet March case. Perry March was an attorney in Nashville. Janet was an aspiring artist. She had two children. She was reported missing to the place on August of 29th, 1996.

At one point, they probably had a good marriage. She had a daughter. At one point, they were probably a loving family. Janet was really a wonderful mother. At one point, they probably had a pretty bright future. Things changed drastically. In a blink of an eye.

She was going to take out the occasion.

Initially, Perry's story made sense.

“His story was she went on a vacation and she was going to be back and she said,”

"See you." And she started her Volvo and she drove off. But further along, the investigation went, didn't make much sense. This was not a woman that would ever leave her children. Within days of her reported disappearance,

his actions became suspicious. He would not consent to any police interview. We believe that Perry killed Janet March the night of August of 15th, 1996, between eight and nine p.m. with the kids upstairs, asleep. There is no evidence that anything has happened to Janet. Menstrual police had searched high and low for Janet March.

Prosecuting someone without a body is not an easy thing. Perry moved to Mexico with his children. He had married. I told the children the truth. That mommy left home. We don't know what happened to her. It's very sad. But that's the truth.

Perry believed that he had spotted us. It was pretty clear that he thought he was sitting pretty. I love it here. His arrogance was almost like him laughing at us. I have a great family. I had a great dog. Every single day we worked on it, every single day.

“And I think after nine years, we didn't feel like the information was going to get any better.”

And this journey and ourselves decided, hey, this is as good as it gets. Let's go ahead and do it. Let's take a shot. After nearly nine years since the disappearance of Janet March, we today are announcing the arrest of her husband, Perry March. As he walks into a Nashville courthouse to be booked on charges of murder,

there's no telling what's going through the mind of Perry March. He might already be looking ahead to his next move, or he might be looking back on the series of events stretching back 20 years that have led up to this moment. Back to the day he married Janet Levine back to the birth of his son, Sammy. And his daughter, Zippy back to the night nine years ago when his wife Janet disappeared forever.

Back to the day, he became the lead suspect in her murder. And back to the day he fled with his children to Mexico to live happily ever after. Thank you, man. Is it finally over for Perry March? Up to now, he's always managed to outmaneuver everyone.

Now, he's about to try again and make a move that will change everything. A move that will finally reveal the truth about what happened that summer evening in 1996 when his wife Janet disappeared. That night. Did you kill your wife?

Absolutely not. Absolutely not.

Perry March, who first spoke with us in 2002, has never wavered in his account of that night.

March said after he put their two children to bed, he and Janet began to argue.

You know, it's the kind of argument that you have when you're both tired of the arguments. His wife was going away, Perry March says, for 12 days. She'd be back on August 27th, just in time for their son, Sammy's 6th birthday. And she had prepared a list for me. A lot of things that needed to be done. Change light bulbs, balance my checkbook, clean the basement.

You know, just a very list of things that I had seemed to drop the ball on over the course of my 10 years with her. And she made me sign her list that I would have these things done when she got back. And she said, "See you as the last indication I've ever had of Janet was the driveway sensor beeping." He said, "She got angry, she packed some bags and she left in the car."

“At midnight, March called Janet's parents, Larry and Carolyn Levees, what did you think?”

I said, "Perry don't worry about it. I'm sure if you had an argument, she's upset. She's probably driving around to cool off and she'll be back, calming when she comes home." But Janet didn't come back in the morning. Did you become worried at that point? Yes.

Was she the kind of woman who would disappear for a stretch at a time?

Never in her life. Never.

I mean, there's nothing that I've ever known in Janet to say that she would ever leave. When they found out, Janet's friends became worried as well. That's just not who she is. She wasn't a flighty person. I mean, she's the kind of person you say. She was one of a kind. She had a wonderful sense of humor. She's very, very funny.

And she was very, very talented, shockingly talented. What kind of plans did she have for her life? Her kids. Mary, to home, a family, an art career. The Levines had watched their daughter fulfill those plans, one by one.

In 1987, she married her college boyfriend, Perry March. She'd love with him. Oh, I can't get to that for absolutely.

“Janet and Perry began building a life together,”

settling just a few miles from her parents. I cared about him a lot, a lot for a lot. Janet loved him. And we wanted to do everything we could tell. Janet's parents did help him.

Larry Levine paid Perry March's way through law school. And later hired him to work in his law firm. He treated me as a component and as a son. Meanwhile, Janet devoted herself to a promising art career. And her two children, Sammy and Zippy.

And she was very close to her child. Somehow, Janet also managed to find the time to build a new house for her family. She had designed it totally herself. This was her dream home. Janet was living the life she dreamed of.

This was her home. This is where Janet was. This was her life.

“So for someone to say, she chose to leave is ludicrous.”

This was so unusual. This was not anything, Janet would have done. She didn't come back the next day. No, were you worried? I thought this.

She didn't make it back the first night. Then maybe she was really at a hotel, you know, kind of luxuriating quietly. You thought this was just some stunt. Couple days.

But after another day went by, Perry March says he became worried enough to call his father Arthur, who was living in Mexico. He said, "Dad, Janet's left. Would you come up and help me watch the kids until she gets back?"

A few days later, Arthur March arrived and still no word. People then really got worried when she didn't show up for Sammy's birthday. At that point, I knew that Janet was dead. Well, how did you know that?

Because she would never, ever, not come to her son's party.

That's when I was panicked. Because wild horses would not keep her from that birthday party. Yet for all they're worrying, neither Perry March nor Janet's parents called the police until two weeks after Janet disappeared. Carolyn Larry would not let me report it.

They were very concerned that if we reported something to the authorities, it would end up embarrassing Janet. But Larry and Carolyn Levine say it was Perry March, who didn't want to call the police. Perry and Sister did not want to go to the police.

He wanted to go see a private investigator. They say they wanted to go to the authorities. And you're the one who insisted. Well, that's not going to happen. Then I can say to you is that that's an outright lie.

Why did it take you two weeks? That's my mistake. That's my mistake because I was living with these people. I love these people. Just take us mistaken.

We have made the Perry kept telling us, you know, maybe she went here, maybe she went for a fair story. He took, you know, he said.

We believed him. I believed him, but I guess I was suspicious. Carolyn Levine couldn't help thinking about the conversation she had with Janet. On the day, she disappeared. Yes, we need to go with her the next day to see a divorce lawyer.

I was concerned for her marriage.

Never occurred to me that I should be concerned for her life.

This has been a lot of data from the beginning of the week. And if it's going on, it's still going on. Not the first in months. Yet start an Aufantra.com. Well, initially what we had was a case of a man saying that his wife had left and had not returned.

At first, Nashville Detective Mickey Miller treated Janet March's disappearance

like any other missing person's case. The first thing we did was start checking credit card accounts and things of that nature. The Janet March leave any kind of trail at all. Nothing. Then, just a week into the investigation, police found Janet's car.

It was in this area right here. Parked in an apartment complex, just a few miles from the March House. We found a lot of her personal effects, including her passport. This was no longer just a missing person's case. This morning, the Levine family and their friends

posted a $25,000 reward for information leading to the location of Ms. March or her body. Now, it was a homicide investigation. We just don't believe that she left that house over on a court. And the prime suspect was Perry March.

“Is there anyone else you're looking at as a suspect in this case?”

Not at this time. But the fact that Janet wasn't reported missing for two weeks was working against them. It gives somebody who ever committed this crime and chance to dispose of the body that would make it difficult to locate and, of course, lose evidence with time. Police searched the March House from top to bottom.

We vacuumed all the floors, we collected the vacuum bags out of the vacums that belonged here. We even processed these hardwood floors for fingerprints and palm prints. But it was what police didn't find that bothered them the most. One of the items specified in the search warrant was a computer inside the home. Perry said that when Janet left that she had typed out a note,

basically, to contract between the two of them for him to sign.

That list was practically the only piece of evidence that backed up Perry's story. But the police didn't believe him. In fact, they wanted to see the computer hard drive because they believed it would show that Perry not Janet had written the list. Problem was, the hard drive was missing.

Someone else had gotten to it first. Did you remove the hard drive on your computer? Absolutely not. Did somebody you know remove it? Well, there's two people who are high on my list that could have removed it.

People that I know. One of them is Larry Levine and the other one is my father. Perry marches father Arthur was staying at the march house shortly after Janet disappeared. Did you take the hard drive out of his computer? I don't even know what a hard drive is.

“As for Larry Levine, did you take the hard drive out of the three marches computer?”

Absolutely not. I had nothing to gain by trying to get at it. Meanwhile, police were also concerned about something else they didn't find. The tires on Perry marches car. Six days after Janet disappeared, March replaced the tires with new ones.

Did the tires need changing? Not according to the tire county. In fact, they questioned why the tires were being changed in Perry said that he just didn't

He wanted a different brand.

“As investigators struggled to come up with enough evidence to charge Perry March,”

he stopped cooperating with the police. They couldn't find some other reason to explain Janet's being missing. They couldn't find anything. And therefore, it must be me. Then he packed up and moved to Chicago, taking with him his two children, Sammy and Zippy.

I'm worried about how they're going to be raised. I'm worried about the values that he's going to bring to these children. But you felt like to comment on anything. The Levines immediately filed for visitation rights with their two grandchildren. They come in Perry, but March fought them for two years.

I asked her how much visitation she wanted.

I'm hoping this will be a great day.

Carolyn Levine told me that she wanted my children 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. Then, in 1999, once the Levines were granted visitation rights, Perry March was nowhere to be found. Why did you move to Mexico?

“I moved to Mexico because I needed to get the hell out of Dodge and start a new life”

and get out of their clutches. He and the children were already far away. In Akihik, the Mexican town his father Arthur had retired two years earlier. What's not to love? Sky's blue, the bears cold, and the Mexicans are warm.

Can you ask for anything more? Arthur March. Perry March.

You want to play the Oriental, okay?

Okay, good afternoon. Father and Son, living here in this Mexican paradise. One year later, Perry March and his children moved into this house, along with his new bride, Carmen Rojas, and her three kids. He's a great husband.

He's sweet, he's a perfect, he's perfect for me. You'd beat that. There were still no criminal charges against Perry March. Do you think your son is being unfairly accused? Is the Pope Catholic?

But that's not what Janet's parents believed. How certain are you that he's the killer? 100% unconditionally positive. No doubt, not even the slightest.

“How far will you go in your pursuit of Perry March?”

As far as we have to go. The Levines won a wrongful death suit against their son-in-law, and then showed up in Mexico with legal papers, granting them visitation rights to see their grandchildren. How do you have children live with a man who took their mother away from them?

But before Perry March showed up to try and stop them, the Levines took their grandchildren to Nashville, and fought for permanent custody. My children had been kidnapped. Their victory was short-lived, thanks to an international treaty,

a federal judge forced the Levines to send the children back to Perry March. Do you ever feel like you're caught in the middle? A lot. It's no fun, is it? Yeah.

Reunited back in Mexico, Perry March and his family had a lot to celebrate. And with the birth of our daughter, Azul, it couldn't be better. Really couldn't do that.

But Perry March and his family were totally unaware of what was brewing for him back in Nashville. What he didn't realize was that we were closing in on him. [music plays] The truth though is that I love it here.

My kids adore it here. I have a wonderful life and a new family. And I have moved forward. Perry March may want to forget the past. It's all belief, absolutely, that he thought he got away with Martin.

But Pat Pastiglione is determined to make sure he spends the rest of his life remembering it. And whether it's nine years, nine months or nine days, it doesn't matter. We're just one step behind you. Sergeant Pastiglione and his partner, Bill Pridemore, of Nashville's Cold Case Quad, took over the case six years after Janet disappeared.

Evidence such as the missing hard drive. Perry March changing his tires six days after Janet went missing. Those things and his lack of cooperation convinced detective's March had killed his wife.

“Did I haven't done anything and there's no evidence that had done anything?”

But detectives still had one major obstacle. Do we have a body? No, we don't have a body. Do we have anything that indicates she's dead a blood for example? We had nothing like that.

Larry and Carolyn Levine had never given up.

I'd like to rescue my grandchildren from a person who I believe killed my daughter. They have been relentless in trying to get custody of Samy and Zippy and justice for Janet. I want to know where my daughter is. I don't even know where she's buried. I don't even know if he cut her up in pieces.

Years ago, by and how the case is eight years old. The detective decided it was time. We didn't want to wait too much longer than the lead to begin in a dwindle. Let's take a shot. And that's what they did.

“In December 2004, a secret grand jury indicted Perry March for murder.”

And as it turns out, the Mexican authorities were also building a case against him for visa fraud and they were eager to cooperate. They kicked him out, turning him over to the FBI, who transported him here to Los Angeles.

Perry March was finally back on U.S. soil.

We're here this afternoon to announce the arrest of Perry March in connection with the murder of Janet March. Detectives pride more and, particularly on, escorted him back to Nashville. What was he like on that plane ride? You know, when we got out there, he was initially he was very timid, very meek, then he began his conversation and earnest.

He wanted to know what you had on it. Oh yeah, that was just two country cops. Country hiccups going to pick him up and he was going to find out and all he could on that five-hour plane ride. Perry March is coming back and he's coming back in handcuffs.

Perry March was booked on murder charges. March pleaded not guilty.

And in the hearing one month later, he was unable to make bond set at a whopping three million dollars.

He was then placed in an isolated unit at the county jail to await trial. He gets one hour out of sale time daily. He might not have had much time to socialize, but Perry March seen here in this jailhouse security video quickly made an unlikely friend. Russ on the time of the fact, convicted felon, that is not new to the criminal justice system,

a charge with four violent felonies. Perry March told Ferris, he had a plan that could solve both of their problems.

“He starts telling this person how good life is in Mexico, how you,”

fellow inmate would enjoy life in Mexico. And then Perry March made one of the biggest mistakes of his life. He befriends Nate Ferris and solicits him to kill the Levines. That's right, Perry March made a deal with Ferris to kill his in laws, Larry and Carolyn Levine.

Ferris played along, but secretly went to the police. And I can tell you that when he told us that Perry wants me to kill the Levines, we were astounded. Facing attempted murder charges of his own, Ferris agreed to cooperate.

This is a typical digital recorder. It's about four inches in length. Detectives gave Ferris a recorder like this one. He would cope in his hand and he could turn his hand and hold it this way. Hoping to listen in on Perry March's plan to commit double murder.

Over two days' time, Ferris recorded a number of conversations with March. One of the main things I'm worried about Perry is catching both of the things together. Exactly. When we heard him talk about, make sure you do it when the kids are not there, we just found it incredibly.

Now on the door, the dummies.

“Why would Perry March want the Levines killed with his hatred of the Levines?”

He starts calculating how much better his case will be if they were gone, because they're going to testify against the obvious. What was Ferris supposed to get out of this? On one way, take it to the good life in Mexico. So the deal he makes with Ferris is that if you kill the Levines for me,

I'll get you taken care of down in Mexico. Right. Treats like a king being on the beach drinking coronas. And who was going to set him up with a good life? Arthur March.

Perry March and Ferris cooked up a code name to be used in contacting Arthur March in Mexico.

“When detectives took Ferris out of the isolation unit,”

Perry March apparently believed he had made bond and was out on the street. This is the room where we bought Nate Ferris in. In fact, in this room at a Nashville police station, when the telephones lifted up, the recorder automatically begins. Ferris was making phone calls to Arthur March.

The first conversation, they were in discussions about killing the Levines five minutes into the first conversation. On my new podcast on par with Mari Povic, we're getting down to the truth behind the names that you know and love unfiltered conversations with legends like Leanne Morgan, Kathy Griffin, Ricky Lake, find out when they feel the most on par. We're breaking it down with Don Limit, Aaron Parnas, the money Jones,

laughing it up with Josh Johnson, Dan Soder, many more.

In other results are in, great conversations are always on par.

So follow and listen to on par wherever you get your podcasts. [Music] No about our agreement. No, I'm sorry, I don't know anything that you call and I was supposed to listen to on par. I know things have been hard because these are main people, man.

It's just time that all this shit is still done with it. Colonel, look here, you have it lunch again and I will get in touch with you Friday. As Perry March sat in a Nashville jail facing trial for one murder, he thought his new pal Russell Nate Ferris was making good on his promise and committing another.

“He thought he had Nate wrapped around his finger, the truth is Nate had him wrapped around his finger.”

Where no, Nate, Nate Colonel? Hi, hey this is Bob, how you doing? Using the alias Bobby Givings, Ferris made phone calls to Perry March's father Arthur in Mexico. When about the hit on the Levines? I want to do it maybe like on the cheese to your wings, so. That's fine, that would be next Tuesday or Wednesday.

And it didn't take long for Arthur March to implicate himself in the murder plot. Tell me what you need, and I'll take care of it if I can possible.

Basically what I need from you, I need an instrument.

The first conversation they were on within five minutes into the conversation, they're discussing guns. Dejective, positively on minutes, and Arthur doesn't flinch. Okay, you got to take one or two off. Excuse me, just one or the two. Two, this has got to be two.

Okay, I know, I'm not going to wait for that kick. After two weeks working out the plan, Ferris called Arthur March to tell him it's all over that he'd kill the Levines. Wait no, Colonel, hey this is Bob, he looks here. Everything's done, I'm in Houston right now.

Ferris gave Arthur March his travel plans for their rendezvous in Mexico. In his mind, he's picking up Nate, who just killed Larry and Carolyn Levine. In his mind, the job is done. So he's there to pick him up until the FBI agent approaches him. At the airport, at the airport.

Today, the Davidson County Grangery and died at Perry A. March, and his father. Arthur March was arrested and brought back to Nashville, and father and son were together again. This time, behind bars, both charged with conspiracy to commit murder.

No, man. The Arthur March we'd known over the course of this story.

I've been here too long, has always seemed full of life.

I'm a little bit to the right of Jengis Khan. Always a force to be reckoned with. When we met up with him, months after his arrest, he seemed a totally changed man.

“You didn't conspire with your son to have the Levines killed?”

I never, never talked to them, never talked to my son about it. You're telling me that this whole arrangement with Nathaniel Ferris had nothing to do as far as you're concerned with a murder plot against the Levines? Oh, yeah. It did, but I was not connected with it. I'm glad I got whatever I can do, you just let me know and it'll get done.

When you listen to those phone calls, it sure sounded like you were in on it. Well, it does. I mean, I know I have a big mouth. And I probably said some things I shouldn't have said. But Arthur March has only begun to talk. Facing the rest of his life in jail, Arthur is about to give the police the kind of break.

They'd never dream they'd get.

He offers to plead guilty to the conspiracy charge. To give us all the information and cooperate with the investigation, pretending to gen its death and testify against Perry, if necessary. He agrees to turn states evidence against his son. Absolutely.

After all this. After all this, Arthur March always has been his son's greatest defender.

“Did you have anything to do with helping your son cover up a murder?”

How will he know? What murder? What murder? You swear our firm tells the truth of the truth and that the truth will make it out. I do. In exchange for a lighter prison sentence, Arthur March agreed to tell all he knew about his daughter in law Janet March's disappearance in this videotape deposition.

The first time that Perry told you about was at the house where he asked me to clean up and he was afraid there was some bloodshed. Did Perry tell you that he had killed Janet? Yes. How?

In the upstairs of them, he said that they'd had an argument. She grabbed a butcher's knife, a kitchen knife. And when he came out of it, he picked up a wrench, a small wrench, and hit her with it, and he hit her too hard, and she was dead. Did he tell you it was an accident?

Yes, that's what he said. And you believe him? Yes. Why would days?

My son I've always believed in.

As the weeks went by, Perry March kept up the charade that he had nothing to do with Janet's disappearance. Then, two months after she went missing, Janet's burial site suddenly didn't seem so safe anymore. The heavily-witted area where her body had been placed was about to be developed. Fearful she would be discovered, Perry March needed to cover his tracks. And so, he turned to the

one man he knew would be there to help him. What did Perry ask you to do? What did you do?

“The only thing I did was help to remove the body from where he had buried it.”

Buried just a few miles from the March house. I picked it up to body, and it was night time. I had one little flashlight, but I got it done. Perry March sat in the car while his father went to get Janet's body. What was that like?

Like hell, it was difficult. They put the trash bag containing Janet in the trunk of the car that we drove to Kentucky. Arthur March dropped Perry off at a motel and continued on, looking for a remote spot to dispose of Janet. I was going to put it in a water, like a stream, but I found there wasn't enough water in it.

So that's when I took him back and I saw this pile of brush. And I got the idea, well, that's the best way to get Perry ready to the body. Because nobody will ever find it, and that's what I did. Arthur March was right. He tried to help detectives locate the spot where Janet was buried,

but they were never able to find her body. Based on what he described, this was the area. Still, with what Arthur March told them. We were early in the morning hours. Detectives were finally able to piece together the puzzle that he looted them for 10 years.

He said he's following the creek all the way along. As he's driving back, he looks up and long beholds his brush pile. And he takes parts of the body to dispose in the brush pile. Drives back, tells Perry, don't worry about it. It's taking care of, go back to sleep.

Perry just sleeps through this whole thing. While his dad is out there, the spowsing of his wife. This was your daughter-in-law. How could you do something like that? Because when I was doing it was for my son.

At this point in time, she was not my daughter-in-law anymore.

It was what, just a sack of bones and clothing.

It wasn't anything any more precious to you than that. No. It was something that had to be destroyed so that I could save my son. [music playing] She was just a dead body.

I had to take care of the body in such a way that nobody would ever find it. With the startling confession of Arthur March, detectives possibly own and pride more, believe they have a solid case against Perry March, despite not finding a body. The evidence is there.

“Arthur, the conspiracy, all the tapes, recordings, what else do you want?”

This guy's going down. All right. In the summer of 2006, 10 years after Janet March vanished. Thanks, Canterbury, an important thing to want to balance that.

Perry March finally faces a jury for the murder of his wife.

Setting the stage, prosecutor Tom Thurman says, Perry March killed in a rage. This case is about murder, about the sleep, it's about abuse of trust. With no direct evidence to connect Perry March to the crime, defense attorney Bill Massey argues, "No body, no murder."

"I don't know why you seem weak." "I don't know if she's dead, you know what, leave it to that." From Mary who's disintegrating.

“Prosecutors may not have a body, but they do have Arthur March.”

The man who says he buried the body. "Yes, Linda. Help dispose of Janet's body." How did he react to his father's testimony being introduced against him? The way I looked at it is if it was some stranger up there lying.

Another key witness is Perry March's jailhouse buddy, Nathaniel Ferris. What was the crime that the discussion was brought up about? "For me to murder the Levines." "Okay, who's our deal was there?" "It was Perry's our deal."

Along with Ferris's damning testimony, jurors also hear the audio tapes of Perry March plotting to kill the Levines. "This is my suggestion." "You just talk. This is exactly what I'm trying to do." "Yes."

“"You take your time. You have to do that. Make it in the stage. It's a good chair. We can figure you a toss.”

We can do what you need to do." But despite the incriminating evidence, Perry March's attorney keeps insisting, no one knows what happened to Janet March. " Janet, pack her bags." "That she left the house alive the night she disappeared, and they have an eyewitness."

"We're so excited, Sam. We're so up in the window." "And as she's backing out, Sammy sees her. She sees Sammy." "They're waving each other." "She told me that she'd be back soon." "The defense introduces this television interview from 2001,

with Perry March's son, Sammy." "She came in, gave me my good night kiss, and then I got out of bed, and went to the window to wave tour when she was driving way in the car." "The last person to take the stand is Perry March himself." "Perry March."

"The man who for 10 years has proclaimed his innocence." "I don't believe my wife is dead." "I didn't do anything wrong. I have no idea what happened that night." "Suddenly now has nothing to say." "I choose not to testify."

"After one week of testimony, the jury begins deliberating." "This is the news channel 5 at 6." "The evidence is in, and the jury is out in the Perry March murder trial." "It took 10 years to get to trial." "But it takes just over 10 hours to reach a verdict."

"We the jury find the defendant Perry Avron March as the count one, guilty of second-degree murder,

as the count two, guilty of abusive accorpes, as the count three, guilty of tampering with evidence." "Gilty on all three counts." "The irony is that prosecutors may not have had enough to convict Perry March when they first

"If the government had to try this case, based on proof that they had before going and picking

“Perry March up in Mexico, then we believe Perry March would be a free man."”

"But when the jailhouse plot to kill the Levines backfired, it led to Arthur March's arrest

and confession, which ultimately led to Perry March's conviction."

"You think in the end, it was Perry's mouth that did him in?" "Absolutely." "At the age of 45, Perry March will most likely spend the rest of his natural life in prison." "This march was a dangerous offender." "Convicted both of conspiracy to commit murder and second-degree murder,

“the judge sentenced his Perry March to 56 years."”

"I'm sorry and sad that our grandchildren have had to live 10 years without their mother

and with the person who took her from them." Sammy and Zippy are living with their grandparents, Carolyn and Larry Levine, in Nashville. As for Arthur March, the man who helped convict his own son, what do you think's going to happen to you?

"I'm going to die in prison."

“The judge rejects his plea agreement of 18 months and sentenced his him to five years.”

"This is not how you wanted your life to turn out." "I'm feeling badly that I was even involved."

"If I had had some sense, I probably said no to the beginning of it, never got involved."

And two Nashville detectives are happy to finally close the book on Perry March. His days have done in terms of Perry March, Perry March, that's over.
