My Father Was Murdered In Cold Blood - Ft. Mike Gatto Part 1

Welcome back to All Things Crime! After a short break, I’m excited to return with a powerful and emotional episode. In Part 1 of this episode, I’m joined by author, lawyer, and former California State Assemblyman Mike Gatto, who opens up about the tragic unsolved murder of his father in 2013.

In this episode, Mike shares the heartbreaking story of losing his father in a home invasion, the frustration of living with an unsolved case, and how the tragedy led him to write his book Noir by Necessity: How My Father’s Unsolved Murder Took Me to Dark Places.

We discuss:
-The shocking details of his father’s murder
-Why “safe neighborhoods” may not be as safe as they seem
-The flaws and struggles within the justice system
-How DNA technology and investigative tools like the M-Vac could bring hope to cold cases
-What it really means for families to live with an unsolved crime

This is not just Mike’s story—it’s a reminder of how every act of violence ripples through families and communities.
