Summary
Al maintained a quiet life, most of the neighbors at his condo knew him only as the quiet gentleman on the sixteenth floor. However, at night, Al began going to bars and clubs, seeking out potential partners. Sadly, one of those partners may have been the man who eventually killed him.
In July of 2001, Al's daughter Beverly made the horrifying discovery. Al had been brutally beaten and stabbed. There were a lot of clues, fingerprints, DNA, a shoe print and surveillance footage. Despite all of this, though, the name of the man last seen with Al has remained a mystery. If only that mystery could be solved, Al's killer could be brought to justice.

| 0:00.0 | When Beverly Sishiro was unable to get in touch with her 76-year-old father Irving, she rushed |
| 0:13.6 | to his condo to check on him. What she found continues to haunt her to this day. Her father |
| 0:19.5 | lay dead in a blood-soaked apartment, the victim of a brutal and violent attack. In the |
| 0:25.6 | years following his wife's passing, Al had finally confessed his truth. He was gay, and he didn't |
| 0:32.6 | want to hide that part of his life anymore. Despite his age and health issues, he began dating and |
| 0:38.7 | going out to clubs having fun and living a life to its fullest. Unfortunately, one of the men who |
| 0:44.9 | caught his eye was also the man who would kill him. While police investigated similar crimes and tried |
| 0:52.0 | to make connections, they never could. When they surprisingly got a partial DNA match, state privacy |
