Episode 16,   Oct 03, 2016, 04:59 AM

In Sight explores mysteries, true crime, and forgotten history. In this episode, Charlie and Ali explore the 1973 arson attack on a gay bar in New Orleans. Thirty-two people died in what was the largest attack on the LGBT community in the US prior to the June 2016 attack on the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando. What happened? Why does the case remain officially unsolved? Did someone get away with murder because of the community’s bias against homosexuality? And what of the victims?
