What is it about the Perry March case that has grabbed most everyone's attention?

Hardly a day goes by that I'm not asked: "Did he do it? Did Perry Kill his wife? Where do you think he did with her body?"

That's been going almost since she disappeared 10 years ago.

It doesn't really matter where I am, at a restaurant, a service station, barber shop, hospital, mall, airport, or just on the street.

During a period of about five years, I'm the only reporter with whom Perry would talk to.

He's called me probably 500 times over the years at work, at home and on my cell phone.

His phone calls were pleasant, but I knew he actually was calling me to find out if there was anything new on the case.

On one call, some years ago, he asked how the police investigation was going.

I told him that police tell me until investigators find Janet's body, they probably won't make an arrest.

His reply surprised me.

"What do they think, that I'm going to leave my business card on her body?"

Well, I told him, if they find her body wrapped in a rolled up carpet, you've got a problem."

That pretty well ended that conversation with Perry.

Some say there was a rolled up carpet in the living room on the day before she disappeared.

Perry denied it.

Investigators say Perry made a number of contradictions.

For instance, Perry told Metro officers that his two small children knew nothing about his wife's disappearance.

He said there was no need to interview them.

Then Sampson, who was 5-years-old at the time his mother went missing, told me three years later he talked to his mother before she left, and she waved at him as she drove away from the driveway.

It's strange how Perry always appeared upbeat, yet knowing he was the only suspect and that police were always one step behind him in Nashville's most talked about crime.
