Hello Friends!
Welcome to our latest video.
Today we bring you another episode in "The Land of the Lost" series.
The sad strange disappearance of Johnny Gosch.
Join us...
On this channel we discuss missing persons cases of all kinds.
Sometimes the missing are found, unharmed and relatively unscathed.
The victim perhaps of a kidnapping or some other sinister plot.
Most of the time though, people who go missing are
found relatively quickly because they went missing by choice or simple missadventure.
Those are the cases there’s no need to discuss further due to the happy ending
being the result of some misunderstanding that had caused it all in the first place.
Then... there are some cases though that start off relatively the same as all the others
only for there to be so many twists and turns it’s almost hard to keep up.
Today we are discussing one of those very cases.
What happened to Johnny Gosch?
Now what did happen to Johnny Gosch is still unknown completely.
But his disappearance has become so convoluted with years of misleading media reporting,
unreliable witnesses, conflicting information being given by people close to the case
and so much more.
At the end of the day if we believe even some of what is believed to be fact about
this particular case, we could all very well feel insane and a bit lost ourselves.
Losing a bit more faith in the world in which we live, one detail at a time.
The back story...
On September 5th, 1982 a 12 year old boy from West Des Moines Iowa
named Johnny Gosch went missing in the early morning hours while out on his paper route.
The community and Johnny’s family would never be the same again.
Johnny’s mother, Noreen Gosch has since been on a mission all her own.
A mission to not only find the truth about what
happened to her beloved son that clear and fine morning.
But to also expose some horrendous atrocities
possibly involving human ********** and the people who deal in such things as well.
Many believe this case is one of a cover-up.
One which rises to the highest ranks of politicians and even further,
if you can believe it.
So let’s get into Johnny’s story.
It was the early morning and Johnny was out on his paper route alone.
Normally his father went with him and Johnny had
asked his father the night before if he could go himself that day.
His father said no but Johnny went by himself anyways and was never seen again.
Sort of...
Some witnesses came forward and claimed that a man had stopped and asked Johnny for directions.
Once he pulled off, Johnny had mentioned to another paper boy
that the guy in the car had scared him a little.
That same car, an old Ford Fairmont that had stopped and somewhat frightened Johnny
seemingly pulled off and waited until he was out of sight of anyone else on the street that day.
Two men apparently grabbed him off the street and
held him down in the back of the old car according to witnesses.
Who also said that the car pulled away so quickly after snatching
Johnny that the tires screeched as they drove off and out of sight.
Unfortunately and for unknown reasons, nobody who saw this abduction
(and there were several people who did see it)
None of them reported the incident to the authorities.
It actually wasn’t until the customers on Johnny’s route called his parents
to ask why their papers hadn’t yet been delivered.
This was hours after the abduction itself and so much precious time had been wasted.
Due to all these people NOT doing their civic duty...
See something, Say something!
If you see a car snatch a kid off of the street
Call the Police IMMEDIATELY!
Johnny's father went to go and look for him along his route and quickly found the wagon
where he kept his newspapers on the side of the street from which he was taken
and knew immediately something was wrong.
It was very unlike Johnny to be irresponsible and
leave his wagon and papers there and just take off.
His father called his mother and together they notified the authorities.
This is where, at least to some people and you can be your own judge of it of course,
where the story stops making sense.
The parents have described their initial experience
with the authorities as being somewhat humiliating to say the very least.
The police considered the young man to be a runaway.
Even after interviewing several witnesses who had since come forward with accounts
of the strange man, the actual abduction itself and even the
screeching tires of the vehicle as it made a fast escape with Johnny in the backseat.
They were very slow to respond in the first place.
Acting as if it weren’t an emergency that a 12 year old boy could have
been taken in plain sight of multiple witnesses by at least two strange men.
Allegedly.
Fortunately for Johnny, his mom was not going to back down.
She reiterated over and over again that this was outside of her son’s
character and she knew beyond a doubt that her son had been taken.
The police department was not taking any action, still working under the runaway theory so
Noreen (Johnny's Mom) organized her own search party made up of family, friends and the
community as a whole to try and find Johnny or at least spread awareness about his abduction.
Noreen even reached out to the FBI, as it is and was back then,
protocol that they get involved immediately if a kidnapping takes place
due to the likelihood of the victim being brought across state lines.
However, she soon realized they weren’t going to be much if any help
and decided to take on the entire investigation herself.
She contacted local and even national media in order to raise awareness of
her son’s case all across the country as well as in her own local community.
It worked and the case almost immediately made headlines in all media outlets.
Noreen hired a private investigator and even followed up on leads herself whenever she could.
What she learned could still be, by some,
to be alleged and must have been horrifying and debilitating, especially to a mother.
She found out that Johnny had been taken for the sole purpose of being used in a ******** ring.
Run by abusers that spread throughout the globe.
Involving some very high ranking people and officials all over the world.
He wasn’t killed but some might say his fate was worse than death.
He was being kept alive and traumatized in strange and possibly even satanic ways.
As a part of breaking him down mentally, physically and emotionally.
Perhaps even spiritually.
It was all a part of damaging and possibly eliminating any self esteem
the young boy may have had.
This was said to have made him more vulnerable to brainwashing and susceptible to mind control.
This was done so that technically he wouldn’t have to be imprisoned because he would be a slave
in every sense of the word to the people who were involved in all of this terror.
Now again this is all theory conjecture.
About 6 months after he was kidnapped, a woman at a
convenience store several states away in Oklahoma
alleged a young boy came running up to her screaming,
“I’m Johnny Gosch. I’ve been kidnapped!”
According to this witness, two men ran up to the young boy,
grabbed him and made a hasty retreat.
Never to be seen again by the woman or at that particular convenient store.
New evidence would continue to surface in the coming years.
Someone contacted the Gosch’s and informed them they had come into
the possession of a dollar bill with the message,
“I am alive. Johnny Gosch” written on it.
Mister Gosch mailed the person another dollar bill in return for this one and upon
examining the written on bill, Johnny’s mother confirmed her son’s handwriting.
Johnny had, at least according to Noreen, written the message.
A while later, in Denver, Colorado another bill surfaced
and written on it in red nail polish were the words,
“Johnny Gosch was here.”
Noreen believed the truth about her son’s abduction and what it had all been a part
of was purposely being hushed by the authorities
and almost everyone involved in finding the truth because of what it stood for.
The abuse of power
and the ease with which the powerful, rich and elite get away with whatever they want.
Now this may seem very strange and out of place...
But consider the things that have happened recently with the Jeffery Epstine case.
Now it doesnt sound so far fetched, does it?
So Noreen refused to give up on her son though and continued her fight to not
only expose what had happened to Johnny but to possibly bring him home one day as well.
She wasn’t going to stop until the entire truth was revealed.
According to Noreen, the trafficking organization that had taken her son was
connected to some pretty powerful “higher ups.” . Including those who worked for the CIA,
politicians in our nation’s capital and even the United States military.
Eventually young and older men alike started to come forward,
mainly due to Noreen’s strength, bravery and dedication to finding her son,
claiming that they had been "taken" as a part of the same ring as Johnny and others, and they
started giving information not just to the Gosch’s but to the press and the authorities as well.
Many of these men and boys confirmed what Noreen had suspected all along.
It was child trafficking ring and it was global.
Eventually too, throughout the years and with the help of family, friends,
loved ones and even the media, Noreen would meet with many of these men.
There were those who said that they knew Johnny and had spent
time with him during their horrific ordeal.
They gave her more updated information on how he was doing and his physical condition
but none were ever able to tell her where her son was exactly.
This was allegedly due to the fact that organizations like the
ones involved in trafficking rings were very mobile and constantly on the move.
She eventually learned that Johnny, along with another kid around his age, had eventually
escaped their captors and were living in fear of their lives constantly on the run in hiding.
Though she eventually did give up her search for and hopes of her son
ever coming home, Noreen didn’t stop.
She became an activist, giving press releases regularly,
appearing in public on behalf of missing children in general.
It was through Noreen’s brave efforts and love for her son that Johnny
and some other missing children were the first to appear on the backs of milk cartons nationally.
The hope was that someone, somewhere would come forward with information on
the particular child featured and possibly lead to a homecoming for other families.
Despite all of the work she was doing and countless leads that came in throughout the years,
none ever led her any closer to actually being reunited with her own son.
Sometime in 1997, 15 years after Johnny had originally been abducted and soon
after Noreen had given a television appearance where she spoke a special message to Johnny
in case he were listening that day, there was a knock at Noreen’s front door.
It was the middle of the night and it had awoken her from sleep.
When she went to the door and looked through the peephole, she saw two young men standing there.
She asked who it was and the response must
have come as quite a shock to this still grieving mother.
“Mom it’s me, Johnny. Can I come in?”
She couldn’t get the door open fast enough
Although it had been 15 years and her son was no longer a young boy,
she knew immediately that this was him.
Her son had come home to her at last.
Unfortunately though, Johnny hadn’t come to stay and was only there briefly.
He hadn’t come back to live again as a happy family and move on,
he had come to ask her for her help.
He talked briefly about the last 15 years and suddenly Noreen realized
that everything she had thought had happened and was going on was true.
It was like Johnny had brought with him the few pieces still missing from
the puzzle she had begun to put together in her head the very day he had gone missing.
Johnny was extremely nervous the whole time he was visiting that night
and he asked his mother to help bring his captors and abductors to justice.
According to him, if they didn’t get caught he would have to live in fear for his life,
for the rest of his life.
In hiding and constantly on the run.
Johnny stayed a few hours and left again before sunrise.
He made his mom promise she wouldn’t tell anyone he had
stopped by or what he had told and asked of her.
She promised her son she would never tell that she saw him that night and off he went,
back into the world with Noreen once again not knowing where he was going
or even if he would ever be back.
Noreen Gosch continues to this day to fight for justice
and give voices to those who don’t have their own anymore.
She is an activist for our world’s most vulnerable:
Our children.
And does everything she can to help spread awareness to traficking rings
and what is allegedly going on globally regarding such atrocities.
She consistently brought attention to the other victims of the same
trafficking ring her son was a part of
and also to others who were victimized by those connected to the one that took Johnny.
In 2000 she published a book called
“Why Johnny can’t come home”
and gave a detailed account of everything she had learned about her son’s and others cases.
It’s all of the information she has uncovered and retained throughout the years
and includes some shocking allegations of cover-up by higher-ups and the authority
figures we are supposed to rely on to keep us and our children safe.
Shortly after Johnny’s disappearance, Noreen founded the Johnny Gosch foundation.
According to the website, the organization’s purpose is,
“to educate others as to the reality and seriousness of kidnapping...
trafficking and how it could happen to your family...
The dangers of those taffickers and how cunningly they operate in our country.”
Johnny’s story has become pretty well known in circles like ours.
This community on YouTube and in the media as it’s
one of those stories that you never want to go away.
It’s one of those cases where, if we stop talking about it,
it could have devastating effects on our children and families as a whole.
Because without knowledge of it, history is bound to repeat itself.
Throughout the years Noreen Gosch has been called many horrible things from “nutjob”
to crazy to pathetic to liar to desperate mother clinging to false hope....
and while we may never know if everything she said about what happened to her son was true,
many believe she has presented enough information that could be checked
for accuracy and factuality - if only someone would have the courage to do so.
Our hearts go out to the Gosch family and we hope one day,
if everything Noreen has alleged and reported over the years is true,
that one day justice will be served regardless of money,
power, fame or wealth and that maybe, just maybe, Johnny can come home.
We, for one, will be reporting the facts, as we know them
and as always, and praying for the victims and families we discuss on our channel.
