CNN’s Website Profiles the Johnny Gosch Case Today

Such a creepy story

The mother looks like she owns caftans.

Thanks OP. The other part of the story, is Johnny, Jeff Gannon, former escort and GWB/Rove companion?

Odd that CNN didn't even ask her about it or mention that the story was a false rumor.

They also failed to mention Eugene Martin who disappeared three years later under the same circumstances.

I think Noreen has had mental health issues long before the kidnapping of Johnny. Her matter-of-fact interview right after it happened was bizarre. Her husband also tried to kill himself not long before it happened. She makes up one bizarre story after the next and I don’t think it’s simply to keep Johnny in the news.

Criminal profiler Pat Brown really nails this case and Noreen for that matter.

R5, I still can’t believe that they don’t think the two cases are connected. Another kidnapped paperboy just miles away. Was there a potential third victim?

The entire thing is just insane.

I have always found this case way more interesting than that of Etan Pat and Adam Walsh. The players in this are way bigger and crazier. The theories are incredible.

People have to understand the significance of these cases. They changed America forever. This was what ended children going off on their own and stranger danger.

R8. A boy named Marc Allen disappeared from Des Moines in 1989. He wasn't a paperboy and it was late afternoon/evening when he left home to go to either a friend's house or his grandmothers house. He has never been seen again.

R8, there was a 3rd boy - Marc Allen, age 13, who disappeared in 1986.

All 3 boys were from Des Moines, Iowa.

There were two men seen that day with Johnny? One in a car and one walking behind him? I only remember the car guy.

Noreen says that her husband had been getting calls during the night and her husband said it was wrong number even though he was having a long conversation with them.

There’s also the report about the night before, the family was at some sports game for one of the other kids and Johnny disappeared. His father found him underneath the bleachers talking to a police officer. I’m not sure if this was Noreen’s story or something substantiated. Weird either way. She also said that her husband began talking in finalities right before this happened, things like him having to take Johnny on a trip because it would be the last time they could do it.

Noreen said that her husband killed him and then says her son is alive. She can’t make up her mind.

People have speculated if his father owed someone money. It was in deep financial problems.

BTW, the father now lives out of his car and gives interviews sitting in it.

Take the parents out of it and you have a cabal of convicted pedophiles, independent witnesses and wilful misconduct/lying by the authorities. Anyone who has been victimized by small town corruption knows how common this is.

Link?

R15 also believes in Pizzagate. Sorry, but this isn’t some Democratic baby bloodsucking cabal.

A lot of Satanic Panic going on.

I find this story FASCINATING. Jeff Gannon is interesting. Has anyone else seen the footage of Bush jr embracing him after a press conference? He (Bush) places his hand at the back of Gannons neck in an embrace. The way you would a lover. The mother seems just burnt out after going through this but I believe she does lie- like about Johnny coming home one night. I don’t believe this. I do believe that local cops were somehow involved. The ignoring of the initial missing call and not doing much in general. I think the father IS involved. . I DO believe he was sex trafficked. The Midwest is truly scummy.

Has anyone followed the Franklin bank scandal? That was insane and completely believable.

R19, you’re forgetting what year it was. Police knew nothing about child kidnappings. Kids simply ran away. They didn’t even know what pedophiles were. The case changed everything. There was no stranger danger. They were simply incompetent. They also contaminated crime scenes. Johnny’s body was not doubt dumped on a farm.

The “profiler” in OP’s video seems like a kook. Not a professional- an exploiting old bag making Patreon money off of this family.

I see Paul Bonacci is alive and has a Facebook page. He’s the creepy guy from the Franklin Bank scene. The guy who admitted to participating in pron with kidnapped youth. Interestingly, he’s a trump supporter.

Fucking small, foreign faction.

R21, what are you talking about?

If you’re referring to Pat Brown, she’s extremely famous and has been correct in her analysis 99% of the time. It also doesn’t take a genius to know that Noreen is full of shit.

A lot of kids went missing in the US in the 70s and early 80s, including "runaways" (many were gay) but also kids groomed or lured off the street. More than a few US cases in the 1970s involved dozens of murdered kids.

Look up Dean Corll if you have a strong stomach. I knew someone whose teenage brother was murdered by Corll and she never got over it. She's passed away now. The victims' bodies were not always claimed by their families because their parents were ashamed of them, esp the gay runaways.

A lot of the 70s cases have been completely forgotten but there was absolutely nation-wide child trafficking rings at the time. Child pornography is big business.

As for Gosch, my guess is he was abducted and murdered. All the conspiracy theories around him seem like wishful thinking by his mother and just general macabre speculation by the rest.

Shit happens.

They could get any one of us!

Did she check the basement? They sometimes hide themselves down there.

R16, see some of r19s comments for more context of local corruption and how it affects this case. I've viewed and experienced local corruption in a small town. It's not fun. It's actually kind of a nightmare and affects your mental health. I don't blame Noreen for moving away from the area. It is interesting though; she's apparently been living right under my nose for several years. Interesting also that her boat is docked across the Mississippi from the site of one of the area's most well-known unsolved murders.

Regarding the details about the morning of, and the day of Gosch's disappearance, you see a willful inaction, and withholding of some information, so that nothing can happen. Then he's gone too many hours and he could be anywhere. Sometimes, it's not what the corrupt DO, but what they deliberately DON'T DO.

I cannot imagine the pain of not knowing what happened to your child. I cant fathom how people are able to move on with their lives.
