Story:
John David Gosch (November 12, 1969; disappeared September 5, 1982) was a 12-year-old paperboy in West Des Moines, Iowa, when he disappeared without a trace on September 5, 1982. No remains were ever found and the circumstances of Gosch's disappearance remained unexplained. He is presumed to have been kidnapped.
His mother, Noreen Gosch, maintains that Johnny Gosch escaped from his captors and visited her with an unidentified man in March 1997, she claimed that her son told her that he was the victim of a pedophile organization and was cast aside when he was too old but now fears for his life and lives under an assumed identity and feels it is not safe to return home. Gosch's father, John, divorced from Noreen since 1993, has publicly stated that he was not sure whether or not such a visit actually occurred. Authorities have not located Gosch or confirmed Noreen Gosch's account, and his fate continues to be the subject of speculation, conspiracy theories, and dispute.
The case received publicity in 2006 when his mother claimed to have found photographs on her doorstep depicting Gosch in captivity. Some of the photos received were proven to be children from a case in Florida, but one boy in the photos was never identified. Noreen Gosch insists that boy is her son Johnny.
Johnny Gosch's picture was one of the first to feature on milk cartons as an attempt to help finding missing children.
