Police Interview Tape Released Of Bruce Mendenhall

Posted:

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - For the first time we hear from accused serial killer Bruce Mendenhall. It's an interview Mendenhall's lawyers do not want jurors to hear.

Police said Mendenhall killed seven prostitutes across the U.S. including one in Nashville and one in Lebanon.

The Illinois truck driver spoke with Metro Police Detective Pat Postiglione just hours after he was arrested in Nashville.

Metro has charged Mendenhall with killing Sara Hulbert. Her body was found at the Travel America truck stop in Downtown Nashville.

He blamed the murders on two men he said were following him from truck stop to truck stop.

Mendenhall talked about several murders and how some of the bodies ended up inside his 18-wheeler. Police said they have lots of physical evidence linking Mendenhall to the murders.

His lawyers are fighting to keep jurors from hearing the tape. They're asking the judge to throw it out when his first trial begins on Monday.
