Season 6 Episode 9: Sarah Hunter Update

Sarah Hunter was last seen in Manchester, Vermont on September 19, 1986. After an extensive investigation, police were not able to prosecute the main suspect, David Morrison, who was incarcerated in California on kidnapping, rape and assault charges. The news broke on December 10, 2025, that David Morrison confessed to Sarah Hunter's murder. In this episode we talk about those details. It is an episode you don't want to miss!

We are grateful that Sarah's family and friends now have some answers. Every cold case that is solved gives our team hope that every one of them can be solved.

Season 6 Episode 6: About That Sketch.......

In this episode of Invisible Tears, Jane and Amanda give clarifying details about a sketch that keeps resurfacing in the Connecticut River Valley Unsolved Cases. There is a lot of confusion surrounding this sketch because of the way it was originally presented in media at the time of Lynda Moore's murder. We felt the need to set the record straight about this sketch and took the opportunity to clarify other points that have been recently made in the media and on other podcasts. It is a conversation you don't want to miss!

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.

You can purchase his book through the link below:

https://www.amazon.com/Noir-Necessity-Fathers-Unsolved-Murder/dp/1685133819

Anyone with information about Joseph Gatto's homicide should contact LAPD Robbery Homicide Detectives Barry Telis or Chris Gable at (213) 486-5910. During off-hours, calls may be directed to a 24-hour, toll-free number at 1-877-LAPD-24-7 (527-3247). Anyone wishing to remain anonymous should call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (800-222-8477). Tipsters may also contact Crime Stoppers by texting to phone number 274637 (C-R-I-M-E-S on most keypads) with a cell phone. All text messages should begin with the letters "LAPD."
