In this gripping episode of Off the Record: On the Air, Sheila Wysocki, Dennis Ferrier, and Jeff Lucas sit down with legendary Nashville homicide detective Pat Postiglione—the man who brought down one of Tennessee’s most notorious killers, Paul Dennis Reid. Known as the “Fast Food Killer,” Reid terrorized Middle Tennessee in the late 1990s, brutally murdering seven young restaurant workers.

Pat takes us behind the scenes of the investigation, walking through the painstaking detective work, the turning points that led to Reid’s capture, and the courtroom battles that ultimately secured his conviction. With rare insight and first-hand experience, Pat reveals how instinct, evidence, and relentless determination converged to stop a killer who thought he was untouchable.

This episode isn’t just about the crimes—it’s about justice, persistence, and the toll such cases take on law enforcement and communities.
