Pat Postiglione talks to <\/em>TV Real about his show on ID, <\/em>Deadly Recall, which has wrapped its second season on the network.<\/em><\/p>\n

Early on in his career as a homicide detective in Nashville, Tennessee, Postiglione made a surprising discovery\u2014about himself. \u201cI began to realize that I was able to remember everything inside the crime scene and all the details\u2014dates, times, weapon locations, wounds to the victim,\u201d Postiglione says. \u201cThree, four, five months into the investigation, I had a vivid recollection of the crime scene, so if I was questioning someone and I was trying to recall something from the crime scene, it would just come to me. I\u2019d be able to bring it up on my hard drive. I can\u2019t explain it; I just know it exists.\u201d<\/p>\n

That photographic memory would serve Postiglione well in his 25 years as a homicide detective, and continues to do so in his second act as the host of ID\u2019s Deadly Recall<\/em>, which wraps its second season run on the true-crime network tonight (May 20). The show recounts some of the cases Postiglione and his team solved, such as the murder of a young woman at the Esquire Inn that is profiled in tonight\u2019s episode, \u201cCheck List.\u201d<\/p>\n

Postiglione says that when he was approached to tell the stories of his cases, he was agreeable; \u201cas long as they agreed to tell the stories of the victims, to talk about the victims being more than just victims of a homicide. That\u2019s my whole motivation.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for how the team at Joke Productions, which makes the show for ID, approached culling through Postiglione\u2019s case archive, the retired detective notes, \u201cMost of your cases in homicide are going to be drug-related, gang-related. Those are not the types of cases that they typically like to do. They like to do cases where the victim doesn\u2019t necessarily contribute to their own demise. In the cases we\u2019ve been highlighting, victims were just out there trying to earn a living and they ended up getting killed.\u201d<\/p>\n

There was a considerable learning curve for Postiglione when he started his career as a television personality. The second season has been much easier than the first, he says.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeason one, I had no idea what to expect. I had no idea what the process was. I knew all my cases\u2014I had no problem talking about my cases. But at the same time, I didn\u2019t know how you went through the process of doing a show. That was overwhelming for me in season one. In season two, I knew what to expect so I was much more patient. I understood where they were headed. It was a lot smoother because I understood the process.\u201d<\/p>\n

Postiglione also had to get used to being interviewed\u2014as opposed to being the one asking all the probing questions. \u201cI really do like being in a position to talk about the victims and their families and to be an advocate for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Watching the show\u2019s crime-scene reenactments, and revisiting certain crime scenes, has been a \u201csurreal\u201d experience, Postiglione adds. \u201cI have the scene in my mind and here I am almost standing back inside the crime scene, like going back in time. It\u2019s an unusual feeling, but I don\u2019t mind doing it. I think it\u2019s necessary. In addition to talking about the victims you have to talk about the case itself; what happened to the victim, how the case got solved. It is an odd feeling, whether it\u2019s going back to the actual crime scene or the re-creation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Postiglione praises ID\u2019s overall approach to the true-crime genre. \u201cThey\u2019re not looking for the blood and gore to tell these stories. They want to highlight the victims. They want to identify the bad guy, but at the same time, they don\u2019t want to make the bad guy a cult hero. They don\u2019t like to get graphic. I agree with that. I don\u2019t want to put a homicide victim out there for someone else\u2019s entertainment. When the story is told the way ID tells it, it\u2019s much more humanizing. We do have to talk about the homicide, we do have to talk about what happened to the victim, but at the same time, they go above and beyond to humanize the victim. To me that\u2019s what makes it work.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
