Season 6 Episode 5: Joseph Gatto Unsolved - Interview With His Son Mike Gatto In this episode of Invisible Tears, Jane and Amanda interview Mike Gatto about his fathers unsolved homicide. Joseph Gatto was murdered November, 12, 2013 in his home in Los Angeles California. While a very small amount of DNA exists in this case as well as a sketch of a potential assailant, this case still remains unsolved with very little to go on. Mike’s personal and professional journey gives him a unique perspective on victim advocacy, reform, victims rights and trauma. Just last year in 2024, Mike wrote a deeply personal book entitled "Noir by Necessity: How My Father's Unsolved Murder Took Me To Dark Places". In this book, Mike outlines all the details known in his father's case, many theories that have developed, and of course, the trauma him and his family have gone through.
