Dateline: WEST MEMPHIS
Memo: METRO & MID-SOUTH BRIEFS
Edition: Final
Police inspector Gary Gitchell, who headed the investigation into the murders of three West Memphis boys last year, has resigned to go into private business.
Gitchell, 41, will become the managing director of the Memphis office of Pinkerton Investigation Services. He will assume his new duties on June 13.
Gitchell, who was the second highest ranking officer on the force, was chief of detectives and public information officer. The West Memphis native will remain on the police payroll until the first of the year, he said, due to accrued overtime.
Mayor Keith Ingram, in acknowledging Gitchell's 20 years of service, proclaimed Thursday "Gary Gitchell Day" in West Memphis. The mayor read a proclamation that noted in part that Gitchell "will be missed by all but the criminal element he dealt with."
