SUMMARY: Investigators from Tennessee are testifying against Bruce Mendenhall, a truck stop serial killer on trial for murder in Indianapolis. Retired Nashville Metro Police Sergeant Pat Postiglione described encountering Mendenhall at a truck stop in 2007 while investigating a murder. Postiglione noticed the truck’s yellow color and linked it to a previous case. During the search, police found blood-stained evidence, including women’s clothing, a debit card, and a phone belonging to the victim. Mendenhall, convicted of two murders in Tennessee, faces more charges in Alabama. The trial is nearing its conclusion with additional testimonies.
