Deceased/Not Found TN - Janet Levine March, 33, Nashville, 15 Aug 1996 *P. March guilty*

[CatMama3]

I haven't followed the March case closely, but I know enough to know that Arthur March opted more than once to help his son get away with murder for some time. His actions didn't just affect his murdered daughter-in-law's family but his own grandchildren as well. IMO, dying in jail as an old man was still an easier fate then he deserved.

March case becoming a book

"This story has an almost Shakespearean complexity to it," Glasgow observes. "Family was very important, and not just from the standpoint of Janet's parents, Lawrence and Carolyn Levine, but also from Perry March's standpoint. You had a father, Arthur March, who did what he felt he needed to do for his son, and you had a brother and a sister who stood by Perry for years and years."

As many Nashvillians recently learned, the story has taken on an added wrinkle with the Dec. 21 death of Arthur March, who was in prison in Forth Worth, Texas.

snip...

"First of all, we've lived in Nashville. We're not coming in from outside and just trying to get a peek at the court files and going back and writing a book. We've been here throughout the 10 years (since Janet's disappearance), we've followed the events and the gossip, and I think we have a sense of the case and how it has played in the community."

snip...

"There's a lot of discussion in the book about the inner dynamics of the investigation that the public has probably never heard before. Things were not always rosy in the police department.

Much more at link.

Is this book being written as a novel?
Many people in Nashville heard and knew of the case of the "missing" Janet March so that just by being a local doesn't mean all that much. I understand that the principal media and LE have never been contacted for interviews by this individual. I suppose that you could get away with that, but interviews with such individuals are a necessary prerequisite for first-hand impressions, re-quoted staments and evidence. So, I ask again, is this going to be a novel? If it is, it'll make rivetting reading.

For those not hooked on the ballgame or Desperate Housewives, LOL
I'm kind of interested to see what they say.

Should be on right after Without A Trace, and on the same station - it is here, anyhow. Try tvguide.com. I can't remember after all these years if the news comes on at 11PM in Eastern time - we're in Central here in Nashville.

Sorry I didn't realize the Janet March case was going to be featured--- again-- on 48 HRS because I would have posted a heads up. But it was and it was interesting.

Lots of footage of Ajijic Perry, laughing, happy, thinking he'd gotten away with murder. Pics of Janet. Pics of Perry.

One thing that really struck me: how Perry and Arthur AGED!!!

48 HRS spotlighted that by showing the feisty Ajijic Arthur ("WHAT murder??" so smug) and cutting to Prison Arthur, looking 40 years older.

Another thing that struck me was how much that had to be left out--- the sexual harrassment settlement which may have been the trigger, Mexican skullduggery (they did refer to visa fraud as the reason for deporting him).

But my, it's so satisfying to see him in custody and then convicted. Let him rot in prison, and then burn in hell!!

 

[Buzz Mills]

I watched it from the beginning; I hadn't known how enormously talented Janet March was. She designed their beautiful home, and she was a fantastiic artiist. Such a talent. She seemed to be a wonderful person.

I saw this show as well lisafremont. I was explaining to my hubby some of the stuff they left out.

Ditto on your last sentence! :furious:

JMHO

Character in terms of helping his son no matter what the cost is what I meant.

That's negative character, not positive. It harms his son to know that his father will help him to get away, no matter what crime he commits - this is the absolute opposite of character.

Character is letting your son know you will always love him, and supporting him in becoming a good, happy person - helping him to what he needs, not always to what he wants, especially when what he wants is to hurt others.

Sounds like it's good to see him dead, and may his son soon follow. They're a blight on humanity, a net negative on society.

This is the entire 1/2 hour show put together by Janet's brother, Mark Levine.

The program will have more never before seen interviews, home videos and photographs.

At long last, Janet's family talks about Perry March's behavior and signs that something was seriously wrong long before the disappearance.

One hour in 6 parts, with pictures, video, and the interview of Janet's brother Mark Levine. Powerful stuff.

I hope this hasn't already been posted. If it has, please move this to the correct place.

He's not content with murdering her......he seems to want to slander her even further. He's a complete idiot!! :banghead: :banghead:

 

[curious1]

Oh would this balding no nutz just die in prison like his dad. P-leeze. :snooty:

 

[SchnauzerMom]

Remember the weird-looking guy who wore a wire and testified against Perry and Arthur?
The one with the shaved head and the question mark tattoo on his neck?
He made the lead story on the news again last night:
Apparently he failed a drug test given by his probation officer last month, and was to be picked up on the probation violation.
He was at a seedy hotel (Knights Inn, in the armpit of one of the worst parts of town), and when they went to get him, he and his girlfriend (who accused him of domestic assault in October) engaged police in a standoff - from about 4 to about 9 PM.
He finally surrendered, just in time for the late news. He told police he wants treatment for some mental health issues - for an insanity defense, I guess...

i couldn't have said it better, curious!!

 

[Alice253]

Oh, this is wrong on so many levels. He just gets more and more disgusting as each day passes. Personally, I hope the judge throws it out. And, while I'm on my soapbox, I don't think convicted felons of any kind should be able to file any kind of lawsuit (with maybe a rare exception). To me, that should be a freedom lost when those iron bars close behind them. All most of them want to do is harrass others, and filing lawsuits is the biggest way they have to do that - and do it legally.

 

[Mira]

hes a lawyer, he knows how to work the system. its so pathetic.

his own daddy confessed that he disposed of the body. does it make sense that he did it for a supposed boyfriend? naw, dont think so.

he is showing his age bad...

 

[Taximom]

At least the "balding no nutz" (ROFL, curious1) is still in prison, and that's alright with me. What an idiot.

I don't know how Janet put up with him!
