Fantastic interview
You can hear how much he loved his dad heart breaking
The sister calling her brother first and not the police/ambulance hmm
Mike: If by chance you're reading the comments, offer LE to pay for the dna to be sent to Parabon Labs to process it through genealogy. Other LE agencies have agreed to this.
I bought your book on Audiobook.
I am listening now. Deepest Sympathy for your loss.
The son did it
In my mind connected to his art or jewellery business because he must have been in contact with many people to get the materials for his crafts so a lot of ppl knew he had valuable in his house. Also seems he lived in a quiet area so very easy to get attention from malintent ppl.
Heartbreaking
18:55 just a theory but this guy is a dummy
the police shouldn't be working for mikey. Their client is the deceased
Get rid of that bow around your neck
Prop 47 was intended to decrease overcrowding in the prisons.
Why wouldnt that woman go to the police and have a sketch done? Very strange if she was a neighbor of the victim. Just very weird. Its as though she didnt care that a car burgler was around in her neighborhood? Strange.
HI ANA😊 👋 Love your style and substance 🎉
I absolutely LOVE ANA garcia!!!..I wonder how much more his voice would shake if he spoke to Nancy Grace. She'd ask if he used Kouri Richins Ghost writers too.😮
When i heard Joe Gatto i was confused and thought impractical jokers. All in all i think this was a hit..and id look close at family.. especially because jewelry with no money value are missing. Who made money if he died? Hmmmmmmmm?????????
A participant in The insanity that is running California into the ground.
Have they tried genetic geneology testing on the DNA found at the crime scene?
Someone met him for an art deal and left with the money and what was brought to sell
Was his father straight? No disrespect, but could this have been a "lover"/partner?
Mike sounds like such an authentic person.
I believe one of the husbands shot the father the day before the day of the dinner or hired a professional.
This is so sad…
Condolences to the family 💐 This is unimaginably sad and heartbreaking – to have such an end for a great man & father in his well deserved twilight 😢
Finally a sane democrat!
In my opinion Mr Gatto needs to appeal directly to the man who killed his father. This man is probably in his early thirties now and may even have young children of his own. He more than likely has been struggling with his conscience ever since this murder occurred. I think if appealed to directly, he may very well get in touch anonymously and admit to this crime as part of his own healing. The single shot to the stomach tells me that there was no serious hatred or intent towards your father. It may in fact have been an accidental shooting that took place on the spur of the moment. Whatever the case, I feel the perpetrator is struggling terribly with remorse and may well come forward after a direct personal plea, especially if delivered from a place of understanding and forgiveness. Just my thoughts for what it’s worth. I truly hope this is resolved ❤
GREAT guest! Thank you.
Man, hearing him speak you can hear his shakey voice. You can hear how upset he is still and that is absolutely heartbreaking. I am so sorry for your loss, Mike.
I've watched a few shows where police arrive at a scene and write it off as a suicide without any investigation. True crime shows will question the scene and they bring up some very good questions making me feel the police dismiss these cases too quickly and they may be letting someone get away with murder.
He knew his killer. He let them in. They weren't a stranger, they didn't break in or choose a house with three cars in front of it to scope out. The third floor is a trap if a homeowner surprises a burglar but this house looked occupied. Maybe the key is in something he bought or sold, collected or hoarded? Somebody he invited to see a collection that wasn't as obviously valuable as art or jewelry?
Thank you for an excellent interview Ana and what an incredible son and public servant, I hope and pray for his family and all the families he is finding a voice for they see justice in their lifetime.
Whoever killed him had to have been a past student or someone he knew… back in high-school I had a teacher who was really mean and used to say during school drills that she would be the first person to be targeted if someone came on campus… rest in peace to him though very missed hope they solve his case ❤️
I thank both Ana and her guest. Neither yelled. Interrupted each other and I didn’t have to change the channel. Thank you for being adults and just educating us on this story.
