Summary
True Crime Tuesday Presents: Noir By Necessity: How A Father's Murder Led To Dark Places with Fomer California Legislator/Lawyer/ Author, Mike Gatto! Mike Gatto was an up-and-coming young California lawmaker when his father was brutally murdered. The act sucked him into the world of noir: wild theories, intransigent detectives, and unimaginable violence. This true crime story feels like a thriller, offering insight into the world of politics and the seedy underbelly of crime investigation in modern Los Angeles. Gatto shares his experiences with incredible candor and raw emotion, detailing every clue, and how he came to learn every tragic detail of his father's murder. With the case still unsolved, see if you can piece together the clues to solve the mystery. On Today's TCT, we talk with Mike about his book, "Noir By Necessity: How My Father's Unsolved Murder Took Me to Dark Places". We also address the horrible scenario that resulted in the murder of Mike's father, Joseph. The complicated suspect list of who could have committed the crime. The strange time of day the crime was committed. Why someone would want to take out a retired, beloved arts teacher and grandfather in his 80's. And the unnecessary professional hurdles Mike was forced to jump over to try to get authorities closer to solving his father's case!
