    The Cold Murder of His Father: Do You Have Information? A Case That Still Haunts Los Angeles, California. More than a decade later, the killing of Joseph Gatto remains one of Los Angeles' most haunting unsolved crimes. The Home Invasion that took his life did not just devastate a Family, it reshaped the inner world of his son, former California lawmaker Mike Gatto, and pulled him into a dark, unresolved mystery that continues to demand answers. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Joseph Gatto was 78 years old, strong, active, and deeply woven into the fabric of his community. Friends believed he would live to be 100. Instead, he died 22 years too soon. Check out his Podcast appearance, and content shared for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and most major podcast platforms. On November 12, 2013, Joseph Gatto was shot inside his Silver Lake Home, a neighborhood often described as one of the safest and most culturally vibrant areas of Los Angeles. The following day, his daughter, arrived for their weekly dinner and made a discovery no family should ever have to endure. After calling out his name, she found her father slumped over his desk on the third floor, dead from a gunshot wound to the abdomen. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . Silver Lake, once described by Forbes as the “hippest” neighborhood in Los Angeles, is known for its art culture, creativity, and sense of community. Joseph loved it there. A retired art teacher, he had spent decades giving back, teaching high school and college students, selling concessions at Dodger Stadium at night, and creating art as a jewelry maker and author. In 1985, he helped found the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts, where he led the visual arts department. The Cold Murder of His Father: Do You Have Information? A Case That Still Haunts Los Angeles, California. “He was prominent throughout the community and liked by everyone,” friends recalled. To many, the idea that he would be the victim of a violent crime was unthinkable. Yet investigators quickly determined Joseph Gatto had been killed during what appeared to be a Home Invasion robbery. There were no obvious signs of forced entry, but the house had been ransacked and a file cabinet breached. Police later said they were looking for a man seen breaking into cars in the area around the same time, suggesting the murder may have been linked to a local burglary spree. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. Despite suspect sketches, extensive media coverage, and a $50,000 reward, the case stalled. Over time, it became what investigators now acknowledge as a cold case. The Cold Murder of His Father: Do You Have Information? “The murder of Joseph Gatto captivated Los Angeles,” said Robert Kovacik, anchor and reporter for NBC Los Angeles. “Many veteran journalists still wonder how and why it happened. The details of this horrible crime and those affected by it continue to fascinate.” At the time of the murder, Mike Gatto was an up-and-coming political figure, serving as a four-term member of the California Legislature representing Los Angeles. He chaired the powerful Appropriations Committee, served as Assistant Speaker, and authored several pieces of landmark legislation. Publicly, he was immersed in the world of politics. Privately, his life had been shattered. Mike Gatto has said he believes his father's killer is still out there. Look for The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. That belief, and the frustration of unanswered questions, pulled him into what he describes as the world of noir: wild theories, unyielding detectives, missed connections, and unimaginable violence. Friends, neighbors, and family members wanted justice. Detectives repeatedly told the public the case would be solved. As the years passed, those assurances faded. The impact of the crime eventually found its way onto the page. The Cold Murder of His Father. In his book, "Noir by Necessity: How My Father's Unsolved Murder Took Me to Dark Places", Gatto chronicles the investigation and its toll with unflinching honesty. The book reads like a thriller, but it is rooted in real grief, real clues, and a real system that, in this case, failed to deliver answers. “This is a modern murder mystery,” Gatto has said, “and a candid look at how the dark underbelly of Los Angeles collided with the political world.” The book details every lead, every theory, and every haunting detail Gatto uncovered as he tried to make sense of his father's death. It also explores the psychological cost of living with an unsolved crime, how it reshapes memory, trust, and one's understanding of justice. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms. Today, the story continues to resonate far beyond Los Angeles. It is discussed across News platforms and shared on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Apple, and Spotify, where true crime audiences continue to ask the same question: Do You Have Information? That question is not rhetorical. Authorities have long maintained that someone knows something. Mike Gatto has continued to push for answers, keeping his father's case in the public eye and urging anyone with knowledge to come forward. The Family still waits for closure. The city still wonders how such a crime could happen in a place that felt so safe. The Cold Murder of His Father. A Case That Still Haunts Los Angeles, California. Joseph Gatto was more than a victim. He was a teacher, an artist, a founder, a father, and a fixture of his community. His death marked the violent intersection of crime, politics, and personal loss, one that forever altered the life of his son. The full interview is available Free on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube, and excerpts are being shared on Facebook and Instagram as part of a broader dialogue about incarceration, reentry, and personal responsibility. You can find the show on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, X (formerly Twitter), and LinkedIn, as well as read companion articles and updates on Medium, Blogspot, YouTube, and even IMDB. More than a decade later, The Cold Murder of His Father remains unresolved. And until the truth comes Home, the mystery of Joseph Gatto's death continues to haunt Los Angeles.

    Today on Word Balloon, I'm joined by Jim McCann, a creator whose career spans stylish indie storytelling and major superhero runs, and he's back with something new. Jim joins me to talk about The Other Half, his brand-new detective comic from Ignition Press. It's a sharp, modern homage to the high-society sleuths of the 1930s and '40s. Very much in the tradition of Nick and Nora Charles, where glamour, wit, and mystery collide. We dig into the tone of the book, the appeal of that classic era, and how Jim updates the form without losing its elegance.We also look back at Jim's Eisner Award–winning graphic novel Return of the Dapper Men, his time at Marvel Comics writing Hawkeye & Mockingbird, and his years working behind the scenes as Marvel's marketing director. It's a wide-ranging conversation about craft, career pivots, and why some styles, and some stories...never go out of fashion.

    The Kouri Richins murder case just took a sharp turn nobody saw coming — and it's not about the defendant. It's about how the prosecution has allegedly been treating its own witnesses.Defense attorneys filed a motion this week revealing text messages they say show lead detective Jeff O'Driscoll threatening a reluctant witness with arrest, jail, and a "catch pole for the dog" if she didn't comply with witness prep. A second witness with immunity was allegedly told by investigator Travis Hopper that their deal was conditional on continued cooperation — cooperation they say they already provided two years ago.This is the same Detective O'Driscoll whose credibility was challenged in January suppression hearings after the defense claimed he testified falsely about knowing Richins had an attorney. An outside investigation found no evidence of untruthfulness, but the questions remain.Meanwhile, the prosecution's key drug source — Robert Crozier — has recanted his statement that he sold fentanyl to Richins' housekeeper. He now claims it was OxyContin. Prosecutors argue the recantation doesn't hold up. The defense says it "throws a grenade" into the state's case.Kouri Richins has pleaded not guilty and maintained her innocence since her May 2023 arrest. She's accused of fatally poisoning her husband Eric Richins with fentanyl in March 2022. Trial begins February 23rd.When state witnesses start asking the defense for help, something has gone sideways.#KouriRichins #HiddenKillers #WitnessIntimidation #EricRichins #UtahMurder #TrueCrimePodcast #FentanylMurder #DetectiveODriscoll #CriminalJustice #MurderTrialJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

    Why do so many of us fall asleep to murder, wake up suspicious of our neighbors, and suddenly believe we could solve a cold case faster than the actual police? In this episode, I confess my deep, slightly concerning obsession with true crime, my emotional reliance on Keith Morrison's voice, and why we all secretly think we're one notebook away from cracking the case.We're talking Dateline addiction, the comfort of familiar danger, and that weird confidence boost we get from yelling “IT WAS THE HUSBAND” at the TV while folding laundry. I dig into why true crime makes us feel smart, prepared, and oddly soothed, even though it's literally about people disappearing.If you've ever gone down a rabbit hole, trusted your gut like a seasoned detective, or felt personally betrayed when the episode ends without answers, this one's for you. Consider it therapy. Or evidence.

Wei whispered.Zh: 他们合力抓住了那个男孩。En: Together, they caught the boy.Zh: 经过询问才知道,原来是一个学生的堂弟,趁着春节到学校来玩。En: After questioning, they discovered it was actually a cousin of a student who had come to the school to play during the Spring Festival.Zh: 他觉得恶作剧会很有趣,没想到却引起了如此大的轰动。En: He thought playing a prank would be fun, not realizing it would cause such a stir.Zh: 随着真相的揭开,孩子们都松了口气。En: With the truth revealed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Zh: 失窃的物品被一一找回,小偷只是个想恶作剧的顽皮孩子而已。En: The stolen items were all recovered, and the thief turned out to be just a mischievous kid looking to play pranks.Zh: 魏也在这次事件中发现了自信,他学会了如何将直觉与逻辑结合起来。En: Wei also gained confidence through this incident, learning how to combine intuition with logic.Zh: 随着新年钟声的敲响,学校沉浸在节日的欢声笑语中。En: With the ringing of the New Year's bell, the school was immersed in festive laughter.Zh: 纸灯笼在空中摇曳,魏、连和明坐在一起,看着绚丽的烟火,心中充满了平和和喜悦。En: Paper lanterns swayed in the sky, and Wei, Lian, and Ming sat together, watching the brilliant fireworks, their hearts filled with peace and joy.Zh: 故事最后,魏对连说:“看来你的迷信也有点用,”连笑着点点头。En: At the story's end, Wei said to Lian, "It seems your superstition was of some use," and Lian nodded with a smile.Zh: 故事虽结束,但他们的友情和在一起解决问题的能力,却在这片雪白的校园中生根发芽。En: Although the story ended, their friendship and ability to solve problems together took root and flourished in the snow-covered campus.

    As the Amber Hagerman Taskforce investigated, they were attempting to leave no stone unturned. Privy to resources not usually readily available to local police jurisdictions, Detectives were utilizing science, mathematics, and old-fashioned police work in order to cover every base. It was, perhaps, the toughest investigation many of the very experienced policemen had ever worked. And it was personal. Nothing, however, seemed to pan out. Even with the identification of countless suspects, finding the evidence that nailed one of them was proving frustrating.

    The testimony in Paul Caneiro's quadruple murder trial has turned graphic. A Colts Neck detective told jurors that when eight-year-old Sophia Caneiro's body was removed from the burned mansion, he noticed she had stab wounds—including one to her left eye. Sophia's father Keith, mother Jennifer, and 11-year-old brother Jesse were also found dead inside the home on November 20, 2018. Paul Caneiro, Keith's older brother, is charged with four counts of first-degree murder. Prosecutors say Paul shot Keith multiple times outside the mansion, then went inside and stabbed Jennifer and both children before setting the house on fire. Hours earlier, Paul allegedly set fire to his own Ocean Township home while his wife and daughters slept inside—a move prosecutors say was designed to make it look like the entire Caneiro family was being targeted. The motive, according to prosecutors: Keith had discovered Paul was stealing from their shared businesses and was preparing to cut him off from a $225,000 salary. Jurors heard the final phone calls between the brothers, including Keith demanding login credentials for a trust account. Paul's defense attorney says he's innocent and claims investigators never looked into a third Caneiro brother. Paul has been in jail without bail since his arrest the day after the murders—more than seven years ago.#CaneirioTrial #PaulCaneiro #KeithCaneiro #SophiaCaneiro #ColtsNeckMurders #MansionMurders #JenniferCaneiro #MonmouthCounty #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

    Two bombshells dropped on Day 7 of the Brendan Banfield double murder trial in Fairfax County, Virginia.First, the defense landed a significant blow. Homicide Detective Leah Smith testified that leadership pushed the catfishing theory before evidence supported it. According to Smith, she was told: "There are two theories and you need to get behind the right one." Defense attorney John Carroll revealed a forensic analyst was removed from the case after theorizing that Christine Banfield — not Brendan — was communicating with Joseph Ryan on the fetish website FetLife. The defense argues investigators had tunnel vision from the start.Then came the prosecution's counter-punch. Victim services officer Saly Fayez testified that an intel detective overheard a conversation in a hotel lobby just hours after Christine's death. According to Fayez, Brendan's daughter Valerie asked the au pair Juliana Peres Magalhães: "Can I call you mommy now?" Juliana allegedly said yes. Then Valerie asked if Juliana would marry her daddy. The reported response: "I wish."Lt. David Giaccio testified that Juliana's account only confirmed what forensic evidence already indicated. Even Detective Smith admitted Banfield's arrest was based on evidence, not the au pair's testimony.Court resumes Friday. Brendan Banfield has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent.#BrendanBanfield #TrueCrimeToday #AuPairAffair #ChristineBanfield #MurderTrial #FairfaxCounty #JulianaMagalhaes #FetLife #JosephRyan #BreakingCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

    The defense came out swinging on Day 7 of the Brendan Banfield murder trial. Homicide Detective Leah Smith testified she was pressured by supervisors to support the catfishing theory before evidence backed it up. She says she was told: "There are two theories and you need to get behind the right one." A forensic analyst was transferred off the case after suggesting Christine Banfield — not Brendan — may have been the one communicating with victim Joseph Ryan on FetLife.But then came testimony that stopped the room cold.Victim services officer Saly Fayez testified that an intel detective overheard Brendan's daughter Valerie approach au pair Juliana Peres Magalhães in a hotel lobby — hours after Christine's stabbing death — and ask, "Can I call you mommy now?" According to Fayez, Juliana said yes. Valerie then allegedly asked if Juliana would marry her daddy. The reported answer: "I wish."The prosecution isn't backing down. Lt. Giaccio testified Juliana's account only confirmed existing forensic evidence. Even Detective Smith admitted the arrest was evidence-based, not built on the au pair's cooperation.The judge is racing to finish before a major snowstorm hits the DC area. Court resumes Friday at 10 a.m.Brendan Banfield has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent until proven otherwise.#BrendanBanfield #AuPairMurderTrial #ChristineBanfield #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #FairfaxCounty #JulianaMagalhaes #FetLifeCatfish #JosephRyan #CourtRoomJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
