So right. Nevermind the fact a runaway of that age is at great risk and is likely being abused at home, if they actually are a runaway, which is a slim possiblity.
Possibly, he was a real police officer but was still part of a human trafficking ring. Some police officers are involved in these things and are able to prevent them being stopped by being in the inside.
Ava Renee they actually did! One of the witnesses did call the cops as soon as he realized that the boy had gone missing, but the cops never went to his house. Later someone did go to get his testimony but that person wasn’t a cop, it was a secret agent Noreen had hired since the cops weren’t helping.
They may have not thought anything of it at the time? OR they simply just didn't want the cops on their cases? Or they were a victim of the bystander affect ( Thinking someone else will do something) ?
Miss Dee yes! As far as the cop's are concerned they messed-up, big-time, in this case, it seems the chief of police was involved, because I just dont understand, their actions in the case of poor Johnny's kidnapping.
Im so lucky to be alive. Most thanks to my brother. Though he is autistic...he was smarter than me when it came to strangers. He was always next me me playing outside . I remember when i was 5 or 6 years old one time playing in my front yard and a limo outside my house tried to convince me to go for a spin around the block but my brother he held me back. Skip fwd some 6-7 years he was the one who always woke up @5am to go delivery papers with me. (My mom was a single parent at the time ...working 2-3 jobs to put foof on the table, clothes on ours backs, and a roof over oue heads ... so my brother and i were by ouselves a lot). I love my brother!
The “cop” was probably not an actual cop. He probably went to the game (a place filled with children) to scope out and target a victim. Johnny was probably spotted and targeted when he went to go get the popcorn. I’m assuming the “cop” started grooming him and got Johnny comfortable enough and Johnny probably let him know about his paper route the next day. I bet the “cop” told Johnny he should try going on his own and because Johnny did he became an easy target. The strange cars everyone saw and the random men seen were probably all part of the same sex trafficking group unfortunately and that’s how he was taken so easily.. ☹️
Yea I agree and plus Johnny said "I want to be a police officer" so maybe the "cop" asked him his address to lure him into thinking he took take Johnny somewhere, and Johnny asked to go by himself.
There was a crooked chief of police in this town at the time he was taken. Noreen has spoken about this many times. His first name was Orval and he acted weird from day one. I have always wondered if he was involved in something shady with Johnny's father? Not necessarily child abuse but maybe some other illegal activity. I am pretty sure that Johnny's Dad was blackmailed or compromised at some point after the kidnapping. (maybe even before- though less likely). I don't know how but there are many things in the case that point to this. As in the Franklin Credit Union Case - many people had to be silenced and our leaders- local and even national have played a part. Noreen is divorced for good reason- more than we will ever know. If the father was compromised before the actual kidnapping not after- this story would be hugely different. I would view the whole thing differently so of course I am speaking for myself. I can't believe the lengths that were taken to cover up both of these stories. It would be even more mind blowing if some of the Franklin case had not come into the light.
Yes I was also thinking this except I was thinking the cop was real for the fact they knew where he lived and maybe that's why there was such a cover up. Maybe there was crooked cops who helped in this, they got big time money and then that's how the kidnappers got all their information, and never get caught cuz they have police protection.
When my daughter was 11 months old, she drowned. I had to pull her out of the water and give her CPR. I panicked at first but I pulled myself together. Even when I was in the hospital and they told me she was "very sick" which means they weren't sure they'd be able to fix her, I still didn't cry. I had to kept it together or I would have been a mess and no good to anyone including her. It's okay for a mother to not show everyone what she's really feeling. Sometimes you have to hold it in if that's what keeps you going.
@@alynsak my son fell into a fire pit when he was 3. I didn't fall apart .. we don't get that choice we have to be strong for them. I pulled him out threw him in the water wrapped him up threw him in the car off to the hospital. I didn't even realize I was hurt and I was leaving bloody foot prints all over the trauma unit until they took him in a trauma unit and me in a different room to fix my feet. I never broke down. I'm not built like that I take control
Raven and Roni - I am so sorry! Are your kiddos ok?! Only thing even remotely close was being a live in nanny for an infant and 2 toddlers only a year apart. Went to fix a bottle for the baby, who I was holding when I heard giggles, the dryer door shut and the dryer turn on. Don't remember how I got from the kitchen to the basement but I remember holding that baby like he was a football carry that would win the Superbowl - held him so tight and close. Didn't yell. Simply said "We don't put people in the dryer" like it was an everyday phrase. Made sure they weren't hurt and walking back upstairs, there was milk and the bottle on the floor. My sandal that snuck off when I ran. I broke a toe that curled underneath while running. Took like an hour before I realized it was broke. I would be in shambles if I ever had to perform CPR on someone I love or saw them fall into a fire. You ladies have some seriously admirable strength! ❤
*It’s infuriating how strong women are labelled as loony, insane or dangerous.* That woman was so dedicated to finding her son, just to be shamed for it. The mother was the only one dedicated to searching for both her son and other children that had gone missing.
Absolutely agree. Fortunately, I don't personally know anybody whose child has been dissapeared/kidnapped. I wouldn't be surprised if a parent (mum, dad or both) get some perscription meds from the doctor so they won't collapse. I don't claim it was the case with his parents, it just makes me angry that parents (especially moms) should be out of their minds, cry and shout 24/7.
You should make a human trafficking info video. Like cover facts like who is most at risk, how trafficking works, the numbers and statistics, etc. Many people unfortunately have no idea how common it is. And that it literally happens right in their backyard.
But how would that help? Even if the dog knows what happend and could speak, he doesnt know the name of the person. He maybe could describe the person or what happend but that doesnt guarantee that it will help to find the missing person.
“The eyes don’t change” is so chilling. Because it’s actually true. They don’t grow, they don’t change. Many people keep those same expressions with the eyes from when they were little too. People believe they’re the windows to the soul. If she thinks she saw him she might have.
Because to a lot of people the “perfect” image of a grieving mother is her being fragile, crying and a hollow shell of herself. Not strong, committed and driven.
I love that you bring awareness to human trafficking. My sister and I were 12&13 and were drugged and taken to Maine. We ended up stopping for gas and I ended up getting out of the car and I couldnt walk and fell. Thank God the man working at the gas station was looking out the window and saw me because he called the police. When the police came, they took us to ask questions. They realized we were drugged and told us the two guys were under investigation about human trafficking. I couldn't believe that this could happened to me and my sister, it's crazy. But thank you again for bringing awareness to this💕
Completely off topic, but Noreen’s voice is the sweetest softest voice I’ve ever heard! I give her so much credit that after all these years she still fights so hard to find her son.
Yes what a strong amazing woman. I too beleive Johnny is still alive but having been brainwashed and groomed by the pedophiles who took him and the other boys who went "missing" in the same area. He probably doesn't want to leave because he can't.
I think she’s is just such a sweet person in general when she spoke to the potential kidnapper she was able to put her anger aside even for just a second to acknowledge that he is also a victim who has suffered with is something I don’t think many people could do in that situation
That will tell you something right there won't it think people they don't need to investigate because they know exactly what happened to him because they're involved in it they allowed it they provide the passage ways and they look the other way.....
@@NugicusStreetPhotography If you listen to Johnny's mom's detail detailed description in addition to this story you will see that her husband was pinpointed by the detective as being involved. The policeman that was talking to Johnny under the bleacher's right before this happened was involved .... Urging him to do his paper route alone even though his mother did not want him too and then sure enough his father who was supposed to accompany him just happened to not accompany him that day and stay in bed sleeping. Are you telling me that's a coincidence? you need to read more than one Description of this story............
@@RoseannaPonturo Noreen's claims are purely anecdotal and uncorraborated. She's clearly in a state of denial because she's afraid to admit her son is dead.
If didn't know any better I might think you were either involved or covering up a secret connected to Johnny or other children that were abused and trafficked by a Omaha ne sex trafficking cartel ring/cult@@NugicusStreetPhotography
When I was 4 years old a lot of kids were getting taken and never found in my area. One day I went to get the mail and I saw a silver car was parked outside of house right next to my driveway. A man was asking me to come in his car and have lollies, when I told him no I don’t like lollies he got out of his car and started pacing towards me. I was so scared I tried to run back to the house but I thank the lord for my dad seeing all this came out and grabbed me. All I remember is the man ran back to his car and speed off. My dad saved my life I could of been just another lost child like all the rest, it only takes a few minutes for a child to be out of sight and then there gone
Ruby W same thing happened to me, I was getting the mail, and a young man in his 20’s was by the bus stop and he walked up to me and asked me “ when is the next bus coming” and I said “ I don’t know” and then he said “ do you want to come on the bus with me” and I just stared at him and then he started walking away and then I ran back in my house. That still terrifies me to this day. Crazy thing is we live in a busy neighborhood, and trying to kidnap on the bus how would that work? Idk why he turned around and walked away but I’m so glad he didn’t pursue me and idk I think I had some angels protecting me that day.
@@shopmycloset4273 I don't think that was not the same thing. Your case might have been similar but not the same. Ruby was literally about to get abducted had her father not stepped outside to grab her. Your case, the guy simply walked away after you stared him down. I feel like if he wanted to kidnap you, he would've done so regardless of you staring at him. Kidnappers don't care. Maybe he was just some sick perv.
She single-handedly kept this case alive for decades and as a result, so many other cases have been brought to light and even solved! Noreen is the real MVP, man.
Did anyone ever investigate that officer who was talking to Johnny at the football game? The blue code of silence is so real and yes the officer could have been faking being one, but the police department wouldn't be so against solving this case if they weren't involved in some way.
It appears they r involved in this case, their complacency reveals their own involvement. This is a common thread in trafficking, cops act as personal security for the elite & politicians, protecting the perv's at the top.
So all these ppl saw him right before he went missing, and never called his parents as they watched. But instead called about the paper not being there. I’m never letting my children out of my sight, period
MR. Hair omg the was my first thought!! Like, I would’ve driven the boy home and told his parents what was going on, especially when the boy got so uncomfortable he left to WALK home
I hope you are joking but it is not that dangerous out there. Smothering your child and not allowing them to live will create even more vulnerable children. Instead teach your children to be smart and cautious. Always be watching, always know their surroundings. Scream, be loud, be hard to take. When you are out, quiz your kids. Ask them what looks wrong when you go to the park or on a street. Ask them if someone grabbed them what would they do. Raise smart kids not scared kids.
It's so scary to think of! I think that would be the hardest part of having a missing child/person in your life is the not knowing where they are or whats happening! They could be stuck in some wackos basement! Or in sex slavery!
Say10 lol, seriously. If people can commit murder in cold blood, why wouldn't there be people who want to have sex with children? Some people are sick and that's fact. You should listen to your parents, that know better.
Raof Abdullah It’s a problem all over the country. Not necessarily to this degree, and not in all cases. However, if you watch enough true crime it begins to become exceedingly clear that there is a massive corruption problem. Very sad stuff.
I, in fact, didn't like her, he already said he would take a test, both guys were trying to make sense about the rumour and she kept blindly pushing that narrative without facing what even the titular (the actual guy referenced in the speculation) was telling.
This child disappears in the middle of his paper route, abandoning his bike, wagon and DOG, bringing NOTHING with him after multiple witnesses see a man in a car following him.... and the police said "There was no crime scene, no one saw anything that was an explanation for the boy's disappearance...." ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
Yeah, I'm pretty sure everything points out that he ran away tsc tsc. Who would believe that? He was scared and felt that something was going to happen, it's a shame that he couldn't be saved.
Anyone else notice Jeff's mannerisms while being questioned? He seems nervous and almost has a stammer, just like Johnny was mentioned having when he got nervous earlier in the video. I'm not 100% sold on this theory but that was interesting to me.
I mean he was kinda being attacked and the other guy in the interview is talking for him. Idk I feel like it was awkward for him. But also they did say Johnny had a stammer when he was nervous or upset 🤷🏻♀️
Thats definitely him. He's got the stammer too, from what they said it comes out when he's nervous or scared, and when you see him you can tell he's looking at someone or something that's scaring him. I think he was being threatened and thats why he isn't admitting who he is. Not to mention if he's a victim of sex trafficing who's to say the person who bought him isn't a high official? His mother deserves so much respect. You can tell she wasn't taking any bullshit.
Also he spoke the exact way I would suspect someone who wouldn't want a dna test would speak. He acted like he would take the dna test if necessary but resisted it by pretending there was already a ton of evidence. It was almost as if someone told him to not look suspicious but also not blow his cover.
I absolutely think it could be him. It looks like him and whether it really is or not he definitely is hiding something because boy is he acting weird. And yes, he does have a bit of a stutter, people who have one oftentimes blink their eyes that way. It definitely can come out when a person is nervous. I really am suspect it's him but sadly I don't think we'll ever know because no one should force him to come home...his poor mom.
So he complains about being harassed and how it affects his family and life yet won’t get a DNA test to set the record straight? What ever happenEd to taking a cup out of the trash or whatever... his eyes and behavior definitely have me questioning who he is. And being bald is probably the easiest way to morph into being someone else...
when i was 11 years old, me and my family went on a holiday in las vegas (we're not from the states). a lady came up to me when i was alone waiting for my parents at the hotel we were staying at, and asked me to accompany her up the elevator because she had a fear of them. i told her yes, but that i needed to find my parents first to let them know. when i came back, she was gone. there is a real possibility that she herself was being held victim of human trafficking, and was looking to recruit members who are young, female and foreign. human trafficking of children is SO real and i can't even begin to imagine how i could've fallen victim to it.
JadeLC95 it seems like the police didn’t even care enough to ask. I also wonder if they found his initials on the wall in the hole in the house but who knows if they even looked into that either
I know! I was thinking the same thing. Like maybe the policeman told Johnny he could be part of an undercover fake sting or something Sunday morning and that's why he wanted to go alone. Also, I still think there's something odd about the phone call and the way the father responded that night/morning JG was abducted. I wonder if Noreen sought to find the cop that was talking to Johnny under the bleachers (WEIRD!!!) or maybe the cop had a fake uniform on. IDK. But it is such a strange case and so sad that Johnny was such a sweet kid and his whole life (and his family's) was destroyed by scumbag pedophiles. Ugh. I wish Noreen and John had taken lie detector tests. Then if John (the dad) was lying at least something would register (unless he's a psychopath and has no guilt). I believe Noreen is telling the truth. God bless her. The abductors didn't know who they were dealing with when they took Johnny. She and John Walsh have done so much for missing and exploited children.
It sounds to me like it's pretty clear Johnny is alive. The visit to his mother's home sounds really convincing. But the poor guy, he is probably under so many threats if he comes home. I hope Noreen has seen him a bunch of other times but is just keeping it to herself for his protection, or the protection of any other vulnerable kids he's around.
I swear I’d go freaking nuts if something happened to my baby. like I couldn’t even imagine. I mean pushy wouldn’t begin to describe it, like bruh wtf.
I'm not done yet but I can't get over the cops being hung up on the idea that he could be a runaway. What does it matter if he walked off on his own accord?? He's a missing child regardless???
I found another piece of evidence. A witness saw a man photographing Johnny on his way home from school two weeks before the kidnapping. She reported it to police, with a license number. The police sneered that taking photos is not a crime and threw away the license number.
The excuse that he was "just a runaway" was also really flimsy -- because hypothetically, even if he was a runaway, HE'S A CHILD! The world is unsafe for runaway minors.
Exactly! When I ran away there was an APB and they were looking for us. They broke the door down and took us to the police station when they found us. It makes no sense...unless there is something so much bigger at play...then it makes perfect sense!
I heard a crazy story a few years back when listening to a Johnny Gosh documentary. A lady that was at some sort of rest stop or gas station somewhere in Iowa a few years after Johnny’s disappearance (my details might be shaky, it’s been a while), she said that she saw some young boys on the side or back of the building as she was walking out of the gas station and as she was getting into her car, a young teenage boy came up to her saying that he was a missing kid named Johnny Gosh and to please help him. She said the kids seemed very frantic and scared, but right at that exact moment a few grown men walked up and grabbed the boys, yelled at them and forced them to come with them. She could tell that the men definitely had power and control over the boys.The woman felt helpless because she was by herself and way out numbered with a few men who seemed “not so nice!” Of course she reported it but nothing ever came of it because obviously she didn’t know what happened to the kid that claimed to be Johnny and the other boys he was with. They took off real fast and within a minute, the interaction was over. She never even thought to get a license plate number. I thought that was a very important part to the story and I was surprised it wasn’t mentioned. However you did mention a few times that there was a lot of stuff you had to leave out because of time restraints, so I get it
The fact that people were wishing death on Johnny is disgusting! His mother was simply trying to get him back and people treated them like shit for it...
I've always felt that Johnny can't go home because once he reached a certain age the trafficers started forcing him to participating in the kidnappings or other illegal activities. I feel like they would have forced participation and then made sure he understood that he would be in trouble if he ever revieled himself and his activities.
I always thought that but I believe hr became a victim of Stockholm syndrome.. Also feel a few on the police force were involved deeper than they said.. Police are like cults in small towns.. Johnny aged out and just didn't return home out of being brainwashed to believe he wasn't wanted or loved after being taken. So if U can't beat them join then mentality
I'm a mama of 3 with anxiety and I had to stop the video last night, just finishing watching it now. It seriously is a mother's worst fear and it feels impossible to be able to protect them 😭
Sippin Wid Sharlele I have one child my anxiety is so bad every day and when we go out in public I don’t let go because I panic and it’s always in my head to protect my child I feel crazy sometimes but I know I have to be like that in this day and age
Because RUclips thinks that Jake Paul and prank videos are more important than real life cases that need to be spread around to help possible victims and the families of victims. 🙄😒
LuLuLand13 Some could argue she's making profit off these individuals and what has happened to them. But i think it would be better if she was able to make a profit off these videos, so that she can keep making more videos like this. That just gets the word out about more stories, more missing people, etc.
I was almost kidnapped too when I was 11, 2 men on a motorbike came towards me as I left my house and because my house was on a high platform, it saved my life. By the time the man behind the driver came at me, I managed to run back and take the screen door with me which gave me an additional few seconds to close the main door! The man banged on the door a few times and left and my gran came up behind me and asked what happened. When I told her, she ran and told my dad and uncle. They chased the 2 men which ended up busting a massive sex trafficking ring, where they took the kids across the country. I sometimes forget about the whole experience but when I think about it, it sends chills down my spine. I can still see the moment of fear I felt as I got the feeling these men coming down the street on motorbikes where not right :(
Haha Khan - Good lord! How utterly terrifying! Thank heavens you were so quick to act. May I ask what year this was? Sometimes it is possible to track the actions of the public and police by the era of the event. I am a kid of the 60s and 70s, lower-middle-class neighborhood. The only creepy thing I recall was that there was this guy driving around exposing himself to young girls, one of whom was my neighbor. The only thing our parents told us was if we saw him to not go over to his car and stay in our yards.
The dad is suspect. Late night phone calls. Did he sell his own child? God this story is absolutely horrifying. My heart breaks for all these abducted children and their parents.
Oh my god oh my goddddddddd. He took them to a house with an underground basement with boys' initials carved???? And this was never further investigated? Honestly fuck that. This makes me so angry and confused. Poor Johnny
Say10 damn, you're right!! Can't believe the government and police have entire departments dedicated to tracking it down when you - a RUclips commenter - can safely say it isn't so. You should let them know
Say10 Because they are PEDOPHILES thats why. And oh my god your right God allows people to get murdered and wars to happen and shootings at school to occur but your right why would he allow this
I'd love them to do this case on there podcast as I've followed this and kendal is right there is so much more information on this to be able to cover in a shorter video. The more you delve into it the sicker it becomes. He apparently was saw in white house using another name which had same initials JG. And he also, went to see his mum at one point she claimed asking her to stop looking for him. Also the horrors that Paul B said he witnessed with younger Johnny was just vile. I think it's possible that they have messed him up so much that he has maybe went from the kidnapped to kidnapper. Paul B also said they were being used in sex trafficking for ppl in the Whitehouse and in one case witnessed a young boy being violently raped my a prominent figure while pal and Johnny were being raped by others then, they witnessed the other boy being shot in the head while they were in a cage and told to shut up or they were next.If Paul made that up he's one sick person but tbh I believe him. As he knew too much about secret ways that they were taken into the white house etc...This is so unbelievably sad. I couldn't live if my child was going through torture like that! Men who are dirty scumbag pedos in position of power and who abuse should get castrated! Same thing happened in UK with the BBC which I call the British beasts channel. The pics kendal is talking about I've saw and would be heartbreaking for a parent to see.
When I was 11 years old, I noticed a gas company truck following the bus. When I got off the bus, I was already on high alert. I got off the bus and began walking to my house. We lived on a culdesac so my house was only a few houses down. The man driving the truck pulled up next to me and complimented me. I said thank you and kept walking. Then he told me how cute I was and kept saying he “loves my bow legs” and then he asked me to get in the car. He was coaxing me to get in the car. I ran to the house, locked the door and called my mom. That’s when I saw him and another man (also dressed in the local gas company uniform) at the door telling me to come out of the house. THIS IS SO REAL.
I hate when people blame parents for not caring. Like you've said before, everyone deals with situations different and this mom is just a strong woman. She's not gonna give up and fight for her son.
@Lenia N. Ldzn no, it's usually a trope in movies. Also some little kids run away when they feel they've been wronged by their parents and usually come back when they finished their snacks.
No way that “police officer” was a real one. It was probably a human trafficker that tracked him down. The father seems suspicious but I am not too sure.
It could have been a fake cop or a real cop who was a pedophile. One theory is that human trafficking and pedophilia rings are run by police officers or government agents.
I used to think it was unfair that I was never allowed to go to the mall or leave my yard with my friends. I’m now thankful that my parents were so over protective
kirstin I think she needs to do more cases that are not as popular and I think she needs to do more of a mix of people cases not just white people.other than that shes cool.
I feel like Noreen didn’t tell anybody about Johnny showing up to the house because she didn’t want it getting media attention which could put Johnny in harm from the people he was with as they’d know he spoke to her
I think Noreen knows where Johnny is. I think she’s gotten ahold of him too. She wrote a book about Johnny not being able to come home. I think it’s the fact that Johnny knows all too much about sex trafficking and the pedophilia ring and who is involved. In that case, he couldn’t come home because it’d be a danger to not only him, but his family.
I read that he did indeed see his mum and explained he couldn’t cone back home. Also a guy in prison met him I think he said they were branded ( remind u of anything Nixium ?) yes it was the peodo s
You cant just come home after that as he has committed many crimes (even though he was forced to) and there would be many dangerous people looking for him.
Idk about anyone else, but when someone calls me and has the wrong number, I usually say something like “I think you have the wrong number” or “no problem it’s ok”
I was thinking about the same thing and trying to see if I was overreacting to it but it seems not..and also, if the mom said she would’ve liked for the dad to go with him, why didn’t he? Idk..maybe it’s just a coincidence
@@Karry7k20 there is no such thing as coincidence. Now that you mention it, the dad could have been part of the damn problem, don't forget, anyone can be.
@@ShiruKitty the father was part of it. It came out later on that he sold Johnny to the kidnappers and was part of the child sex ring. I'm not sure why Kendall didn't talk about that.
Shannon Bledsoe like the girl said at the beginning of the video is it goes deeper than just this turns out the police chief in that town was part of a child sex trafficking ring...
DOT.5 oh my god. MEH NEICE WAS TAKEN AND WAS PART OF A CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING RING. BUT TEH FOUNDS HER ON THE SIDE OF TEH ROADS BRUTALLY BEATEN AND ALMOST DEAD. We didnt want teh press getting involveds
I feel as though I've heard discussion of that being a legit concern in this case, that there was real evidence to support that possibility. Anyone know anything more about that angle?
One thing: the dollar bill was confirmed to be signed by Johnny. They had multiple handwriting analysts brought in and they confirmed that it was his signature. The Faded Out podcast did an entire series on this case and discussed the dollar bill
I was wondering about that part. By 12 he would have plenty of papers with his handwriting to compare to, and even when people try to make it not look like theirs experts can usually still tell.
I see a lot of comments saying he’s “48” so therefore he’s too old to be Johnny. I’m not saying it’s him but if I was running away from a 1.6 Billion dollar industry and people of high power, I would change my age and my identity along with it.
@@usagimelo Except that interview wasn't this year, right? If it was given around a decade ago "48" would be too old (I still think it's possible he was just lying about his age though.)
I think she was just being strong, clearly she was working very hard to find him and you could tell she was very in touch with reality. She just had her shit together, how’s crying on camera going to help find him?
Yeah i think her tears were dry when you're in so much pain for so long u kind of become immune not thay u don't care but your tears get dry... idk if it makes sense
Agreed! It reminds me of a time I was in the ER for an obstruction and the nurse asked my pain level and I said 10. She blankly said, “You’re pretty put together for that amount of pain” so I said, “Would it help the situation if I was hysterical and in the fetal position?!” She said “good point” and went back to work. I’ve dealt with chronic pain long enough to be a strong advocate for myself just as Noreen had dealt with far too many challenges and knew how to mean business and fight for her family!
Anyone else just ended this video with the most horrible feeling ever? I have the worst sinking feeling in my stomach after watching this, ...My heart and prayers go out to victims of human trafficking and their families. Thank you kendall so much for this video and for bringing awareness to this topic Im buying so many shirts to support thorn
Yes I have this feeling as well.. it sent down so many chills down my spine and I felt like my heart was sinking to my stomach. This is just so devastating that this type of stuff happens all the time
exactly how i felt after watching the documentary about him on netflix...i just pressed it without knowing any info about him and i wasnt prepared .... ughhhhh the pics taken of these poor children is scarring. from time to time i think of these kinds of cases and my skin just crawls. sooo disturbing.
I definitely think that while Johnny was talking to the police officer he told him that he was going to deliver the papers that week and the route he takes. The police officer, having something to do with the trafficking ring, told someone where Johnny was gonna be and thats how he got abducted
I thought it was a grooming situation. Like the cop was a trafficker just dressed as a cop to get kids to trust him. He might have promised a cool trip or something because remember the night before he went missing he randomly told his mom that no matter what, he loves her and that she’s the best. And wanted to do the route alone that morning. I think they made a deal to meet up and maybe Johnny got sketched out last minute but it was too late
“Ghosts in blue” scare the shit out of me. I was pulled over by a sheriff in the middle of the ozark mountains, no cell service at all, I kept my hand on my taser and recorded our conversation without him knowing just in case anything happened. I was shaking thinking of all the bad cops out there. Luckily he was very nice and didn’t even give me a ticket just wanted me to slow down and be safe
this is in my hometown!! my mom went to school with johnny and remembers when he went missing how sad the classmates were and the weird feeling of going to school and having his seat empty. just remember with all these stories, while yes they're interesting to learn about, they are real peoples stoires with real pain. his mom still keeps the porch light on to this day, and lives right near my high school.
heaven garcia yeah, but the mom thought it was weird. That would have been the first question to my son. I think he was definitely involved. Who randomly talks to a young boy twice alone and the second time under the bleachers?
I'm late here but that's not true at all. Back then we all knew as much as you know now. We were taught in class all the time. We had special assemblies to learn about these things. I even remember learning what to do if I was put in a trunk and what to scream and how to scream if I needed help that would draw the most attention. Parents had access to the news and newspapers and kidnapping and sexual abuse sold papers back then just like today. We knew. Our parents knew.
Trina B. I’ve never had an affair but I would know better than to have that person called me on the same day at the same time EVERY week. That would be too obvious. I think he had no control because the person who was calling him was higher up and made the rules. He only “received” calls. Plus the mom talks about how he didn’t want to search for Johnny and was delaying the search and hindering information every chance he got
They were receiving calls at the same time for weeks. John always picked up and said "no, no" but that day was the only day he said "yes, all right, yes all right. Ok" Noreen thinks they were calling him to kidnap his son and he changed the answer because he was telling them that Sunday they had finally his way free to Johnny.
Unfortunately they usually are running all types of illegal things through all police departments. Adult Sex trafficking, child sex trafficking, drug trafficking, money laundering, robbery, murder, witness intimidation, etc.
literally out of all the other videos about johnny this one gives so much more insight and important evidence... i never even knew how fishy the police were before and during his disappearance and the prisoner like why has no one else mentioned this? is it because they are afraid of the trafficking ring?
I think people just do not want to show how corrupt some police and politicians are in this country. They don’t want to cause distrust between authorities and regular people
Miss Myself it is good and very informative, but what I noticed was a subplot from others trying to make the mother appear unduly emotional and histrionic
Johnny's Mother has my full respect. To go through something so harrowing as a parent and do soo much good is just incredible. All whilst the police force does nothing and people hate on her.
I live in the same neighborhood as his mother and the place he was taken from is at the corner of my street. This stuff hits home and changed the way people in my area live. We live right by an interstate so it makes human trafficking much easier and there are frequent kidnapping attempts in the neighborhood to this day.
Akilah Canada same here. I live in a town that has a major Texas Highway that’s only an hour from Houston - the largest trafficking area. I never want to take my kids out anywhere. It’s creepy.
Karla Aleman it really is. I love Texas with every fiber of my being but it’s so so huge here. My area has one of the highest rates of unsolved missing persons cases. It’s freaky to even think about. Also, my best friend is from McAllen!
Johnny Gosch and Eugene Martin both disappeared on a Sunday morning the first time they did a paper delivery route by themselves. Hmmm... Coincidence? I don't think so.
I am a survivor of human sex trafficking at 17 and I need to say how refreshing the way you talk about victims and the problem is. As with all your videos and/ victims that you cover. 'm grateful. This is an old video, but Ive been binging you the last few days! 💛 U
Deutschehordenelite So, last year a weird guy was following me while I was walking home from school. The guy looked like he was on something... I called the police and a lady answered, I told her what was happening and what he looked like.i started running home because he was walking a bit faster. The police never came to my house until the NEXT DAY! I feel like some police don’t try their best. Anyway I hope you had a great day :) (I just felt like I had to tell you) xD
I usually never comment, but You inspire me to educate myself more about issues like this. I watch you videos all the time and they are amazing, but I really believe you will change and touch peoples lives with your videos. This is the side of RUclips people should be on. This is why RUclips exists.
The strongest piece of evidence to anyone who was around back in 82’ is that he had a Yamaha YZ 80. The dream of every kid in America. No one runs away from that bike.
IT REALLY PISSES ME THE FUCKK OFF that we dont hear about this stuff on the news or anywhere for that matter. But we are bombarded with kartrashians and other bs ... its like they purposely dont want us to know !! thank you so much for this kendall
postive vibes I hear of sex trafficking all the time. I don't know what news sources you subscribe but if it's just RUclips Facebook even Reddit etc you might not see it. And the case of Johnny Gosch has been extensively covered on TV, in papers and magazines and on the internet. Remember this happened about 30 years ago, the news has to move on.
This happened in my state. My grandpa was a police officer in Des Moines at the time, but didn’t work the case bc it wasn’t in his district. My mom told me about this growing up as a warning against strangers. To this day his mother searches for him, it’s just so heartbreaking. I’m so thankful for people like you who raise awareness & shed a light in the dark.
I mean if if this guy really is Johnny gottsch then why would someone like Jeff who's really Johnny hide the fact that he's Johnny for decades now when those people that got him are dead or they're going to die soon, and not only that but if there's a guy hiding and using a different name who's really Johnny then what's he going to do wait till his mom's about to die before he tells her the truth that would be messed up.
this is the exact reason I’m not sure if I ever will be able to bring children in this world. The absolute terror that mother had to go through would destroy me, she is a incredibly strong women.
@Sarcastic.1 I would take my son to the park and drop him off, then drive around to the other side of the park and watch him without him knowing. That is when he got old enough to not want me there...you know, when it was embarrassing to have me there. So instead I’d hide and watch him.
What happened with the police officer that Johnny was talking to at the football game? Could he have been involved with his disappearance? That whole part of the story seemed really sketchy to me.
What if he wasn’t a policeman, or if he was, what if he was part of the ring already. Paul Bonacci said that they lured younger boys and girls into the ring by befriending them and seeming like someone like trust.
"He probably ran away" is police code for "we don't care and we can't be bothered with this" soooo infuriating
So right. Nevermind the fact a runaway of that age is at great risk and is likely being abused at home, if they actually are a runaway, which is a slim possiblity.
Yup they always say that about kids they don’t think are worth caring about
Chantell Scherer right? I had when people don’t wonder why children runaway from home
If I had been this mother I woulda been having multiple assault charges 💯💯💯
More like we are involved
For sure the “police officer” at the game was scouting kids
Yep.
Absolutely
Possibly, he was a real police officer but was still part of a human trafficking ring. Some police officers are involved in these things and are able to prevent them being stopped by being in the inside.
Right !! So creepy.
yeah and i believe that he convinced Johnny to do his paper route alone so he could be picked up
I'm just annoyed at the fact that all these people saw all this weird stuff happening and did nothing
Ava Renee they actually did! One of the witnesses did call the cops as soon as he realized that the boy had gone missing, but the cops never went to his house. Later someone did go to get his testimony but that person wasn’t a cop, it was a secret agent Noreen had hired since the cops weren’t helping.
They may have not thought anything of it at the time? OR they simply just didn't want the cops on their cases? Or they were a victim of the bystander affect ( Thinking someone else will do something) ?
Ava Renee ikr!!😡
Miss Dee yes! As far as the cop's are concerned they messed-up, big-time, in this case, it seems the chief of police was involved, because I just dont understand, their actions in the case of poor Johnny's kidnapping.
I know like these kids said hi to him and he was slouched over like wouldn’t you feel like something is off
Im so lucky to be alive. Most thanks to my brother. Though he is autistic...he was smarter than me when it came to strangers. He was always next me me playing outside . I remember when i was 5 or 6 years old one time playing in my front yard and a limo outside my house tried to convince me to go for a spin around the block but my brother he held me back. Skip fwd some 6-7 years he was the one who always woke up @5am to go delivery papers with me. (My mom was a single parent at the time ...working 2-3 jobs to put foof on the table, clothes on ours backs, and a roof over oue heads ... so my brother and i were by ouselves a lot). I love my brother!
💜😇
I'm so glad your brother always protected you! He seems like such an amazing person 🥰
Your brother is so smart and protective. Your are lucky to have him.
I'm glad you're okay ♡
Thank God for good older brother. God bless him.
The “cop” was probably not an actual cop. He probably went to the game (a place filled with children) to scope out and target a victim. Johnny was probably spotted and targeted when he went to go get the popcorn. I’m assuming the “cop” started grooming him and got Johnny comfortable enough and Johnny probably let him know about his paper route the next day. I bet the “cop” told Johnny he should try going on his own and because Johnny did he became an easy target. The strange cars everyone saw and the random men seen were probably all part of the same sex trafficking group unfortunately and that’s how he was taken so easily.. ☹️
Yea I agree and plus Johnny said "I want to be a police officer" so maybe the "cop" asked him his address to lure him into thinking he took take Johnny somewhere, and Johnny asked to go by himself.
There was a crooked chief of police in this town at the time he was taken. Noreen has spoken about this many times. His first name was Orval and he acted weird from day one. I have always wondered if he was involved in something shady with Johnny's father? Not necessarily child abuse but maybe some other illegal activity. I am pretty sure that Johnny's Dad was blackmailed or compromised at some point after the kidnapping. (maybe even before- though less likely). I don't know how but there are many things in the case that point to this. As in the Franklin Credit Union Case - many people had to be silenced and our leaders- local and even national have played a part. Noreen is divorced for good reason- more than we will ever know. If the father was compromised before the actual kidnapping not after- this story would be hugely different. I would view the whole thing differently so of course I am speaking for myself. I can't believe the lengths that were taken to cover up both of these stories. It would be even more mind blowing if some of the Franklin case had not come into the light.
This is probably what did happen so sad :-(
Yes I was also thinking this except I was thinking the cop was real for the fact they knew where he lived and maybe that's why there was such a cover up. Maybe there was crooked cops who helped in this, they got big time money and then that's how the kidnappers got all their information, and never get caught cuz they have police protection.
Probobly, but what i also think couldve happened was that the police were in on it
I’m so sick of people criticising moms who don’t just fall apart. Some of us aren’t built like that. We get angry. We go numb.
And we get shit done.. it’s called being a driver
When my daughter was 11 months old, she drowned. I had to pull her out of the water and give her CPR. I panicked at first but I pulled myself together. Even when I was in the hospital and they told me she was "very sick" which means they weren't sure they'd be able to fix her, I still didn't cry. I had to kept it together or I would have been a mess and no good to anyone including her. It's okay for a mother to not show everyone what she's really feeling. Sometimes you have to hold it in if that's what keeps you going.
@@alynsak my son fell into a fire pit when he was 3. I didn't fall apart .. we don't get that choice we have to be strong for them. I pulled him out threw him in the water wrapped him up threw him in the car off to the hospital. I didn't even realize I was hurt and I was leaving bloody foot prints all over the trauma unit until they took him in a trauma unit and me in a different room to fix my feet. I never broke down. I'm not built like that I take control
Raven and Roni - I am so sorry! Are your kiddos ok?! Only thing even remotely close was being a live in nanny for an infant and 2 toddlers only a year apart. Went to fix a bottle for the baby, who I was holding when I heard giggles, the dryer door shut and the dryer turn on. Don't remember how I got from the kitchen to the basement but I remember holding that baby like he was a football carry that would win the Superbowl - held him so tight and close. Didn't yell. Simply said "We don't put people in the dryer" like it was an everyday phrase. Made sure they weren't hurt and walking back upstairs, there was milk and the bottle on the floor. My sandal that snuck off when I ran. I broke a toe that curled underneath while running. Took like an hour before I realized it was broke. I would be in shambles if I ever had to perform CPR on someone I love or saw them fall into a fire. You ladies have some seriously admirable strength! ❤
This is literally my mum as well
people should have spent less time criticizing Noreen and more time looking for Johnny.
I believe Noreen😢💔.
There’s terrible people in this world 🌎. Some people hate to even think about this level of evil 😳
I know, like if I was a parent and my child went missing, I would try my best not to be sad because being sad is not going to find your child
Period
Swamp Ophelia eh, i know they worded it in a weird way but i get what they meant.
Swamp Ophelia the way they put it is weird but I get what she’s says
*It’s infuriating how strong women are labelled as loony, insane or dangerous.* That woman was so dedicated to finding her son, just to be shamed for it. The mother was the only one dedicated to searching for both her son and other children that had gone missing.
Women challenging bad male behaviour always get labelled ‘crazy’ The entire profession of psychiatry seems built on silencing women.
Absolutely agree.
Fortunately, I don't personally know anybody whose child has been dissapeared/kidnapped. I wouldn't be surprised if a parent (mum, dad or both) get some perscription meds from the doctor so they won't collapse. I don't claim it was the case with his parents, it just makes me angry that parents (especially moms) should be out of their minds, cry and shout 24/7.
She still is too. She has a group on Facebook that she runs to this day
I agree about THIS case, but to be fair, there are a LOT of crazy people out here, women AND men!
For some reason “save me some pizza mom I’ll be hungry when I get home” was so heartbreaking to me.
It really is! It was to me too!
ikr 😢
kitten kandy I know :( made me teary eyed.
kitten kandy pizzagate
It’s sad because it’s such a sweet and normal thing for a kid to say :(
You should make a human trafficking info video. Like cover facts like who is most at risk, how trafficking works, the numbers and statistics, etc. Many people unfortunately have no idea how common it is. And that it literally happens right in their backyard.
Kellie Tipton yes !!
Yes! That would be so educational
Yes!!
yesssssss
Kellie Tipton
YESSS!!!! Please do this!!!
If only dogs could talk because the Gosch's was the key witness!
But how would that help? Even if the dog knows what happend and could speak, he doesnt know the name of the person. He maybe could describe the person or what happend but that doesnt guarantee that it will help to find the missing person.
shyress would have given the cops a direct witness to the kidnapping tho, not that they would have cared it seems
shyress that still would have helped
*a parrot would have helped-*
Just commented this!!
“The eyes don’t change” is so chilling. Because it’s actually true. They don’t grow, they don’t change. Many people keep those same expressions with the eyes from when they were little too. People believe they’re the windows to the soul. If she thinks she saw him she might have.
How is being “pushy” when your son has gone missing a bad thing?
Right!! I'd move mountain's to find my children! Smh.
If your child goes missing you should be pushy. That’s when it is a good quality!
Because to a lot of people the “perfect” image of a grieving mother is her being fragile, crying and a hollow shell of herself. Not strong, committed and driven.
Because they don’t want their corruption to come to light and having a strong person fighting for their child threatens that
Lauren Nicole I’d be so pushy, they’d nickname me Mrs pushy Mcpush of pushyville road, pushyville. Honestly.....I’d not stop until it killed me.
I love that you bring awareness to human trafficking. My sister and I were 12&13 and were drugged and taken to Maine. We ended up stopping for gas and I ended up getting out of the car and I couldnt walk and fell. Thank God the man working at the gas station was looking out the window and saw me because he called the police. When the police came, they took us to ask questions. They realized we were drugged and told us the two guys were under investigation about human trafficking. I couldn't believe that this could happened to me and my sister, it's crazy. But thank you again for bringing awareness to this💕
Charlene Evangeline beauty Oh my god, i am so sorry to hear that. That man is a lifesaver! I’m so glad that man was there to save you.
Charlene Evangeline beauty taken to Maine from where? when?
@@gypsyamerican6242 from Massachusetts in 2001. It was so scary
Oh my God! Thank GOD you two are ok!
Good Heavens...horrendous
Completely off topic, but Noreen’s voice is the sweetest softest voice I’ve ever heard!
I give her so much credit that after all these years she still fights so hard to find her son.
I thought this the whole time! I actually wanted her to talk more.
Yes what a strong amazing woman. I too beleive Johnny is still alive but having been brainwashed and groomed by the pedophiles who took him and the other boys who went "missing" in the same area. He probably doesn't want to leave because he can't.
I bet she was really good at telling/reading bedtime stories
Yessss! Such a soothing, calm voice.
I think she’s is just such a sweet person in general when she spoke to the potential kidnapper she was able to put her anger aside even for just a second to acknowledge that he is also a victim who has suffered with is something I don’t think many people could do in that situation
Seems like the only one investigating anything was Johnny’s mom.
That will tell you something right there won't it think people they don't need to investigate because they know exactly what happened to him because they're involved in it they allowed it they provide the passage ways and they look the other way.....
@@RoseannaPonturo There is literally no evidence for that.
@@NugicusStreetPhotography If you listen to Johnny's mom's detail detailed description in addition to this story you will see that her husband was pinpointed by the detective as being involved. The policeman that was talking to Johnny under the bleacher's right before this happened was involved .... Urging him to do his paper route alone even though his mother did not want him too and then sure enough his father who was supposed to accompany him just happened to not accompany him that day and stay in bed sleeping. Are you telling me that's a coincidence?
you need to read more than one Description of this story............
@@RoseannaPonturo Noreen's claims are purely anecdotal and uncorraborated. She's clearly in a state of denial because she's afraid to admit her son is dead.
If didn't know any better I might think you were either involved or covering up a secret connected to Johnny or other children that were abused and trafficked by a Omaha ne sex trafficking cartel ring/cult@@NugicusStreetPhotography
"We leave the porch light on every night. Moms are like that" wow ok thank you for tearing my heart out omg. This poor family
Allison Wiseman lol
Fathers are like that
And my parents are like "switch the lights off, she'll find the way by herself!" when I come home from work at night...
When I was 4 years old a lot of kids were getting taken and never found in my area. One day I went to get the mail and I saw a silver car was parked outside of house right next to my driveway. A man was asking me to come in his car and have lollies, when I told him no I don’t like lollies he got out of his car and started pacing towards me. I was so scared I tried to run back to the house but I thank the lord for my dad seeing all this came out and grabbed me. All I remember is the man ran back to his car and speed off. My dad saved my life I could of been just another lost child like all the rest, it only takes a few minutes for a child to be out of sight and then there gone
Haunting
Ruby W same thing happened to me, I was getting the mail, and a young man in his 20’s was by the bus stop and he walked up to me and asked me “ when is the next bus coming” and I said “ I don’t know” and then he said “ do you want to come on the bus with me” and I just stared at him and then he started walking away and then I ran back in my house. That still terrifies me to this day. Crazy thing is we live in a busy neighborhood, and trying to kidnap on the bus how would that work? Idk why he turned around and walked away but I’m so glad he didn’t pursue me and idk I think I had some angels protecting me that day.
Praise God 🙏🏽
@@shopmycloset4273 I don't think that was not the same thing. Your case might have been similar but not the same. Ruby was literally about to get abducted had her father not stepped outside to grab her. Your case, the guy simply walked away after you stared him down. I feel like if he wanted to kidnap you, he would've done so regardless of you staring at him. Kidnappers don't care. Maybe he was just some sick perv.
Gaby Sanchez he might have noticed someone else was watching and that’s why he turned away and walked away. You never know ...
I love the mom. She was for sure an 80s baddie fashion wise and an amazing and powerful woman with all her strength and advocating.
She single-handedly kept this case alive for decades and as a result, so many other cases have been brought to light and even solved! Noreen is the real MVP, man.

Probably why people talked mad mess about her
Its so sick people thought she was a bad person. I hope one day we know what happened to all kids who go missing
Did anyone ever investigate that officer who was talking to Johnny at the football game? The blue code of silence is so real and yes the officer could have been faking being one, but the police department wouldn't be so against solving this case if they weren't involved in some way.
That is a good question, most likely they were never questioned.
It appears they r involved in this case, their complacency reveals their own involvement. This is a common thread in trafficking, cops act as personal security for the elite & politicians, protecting the perv's at the top.
That is a great question!! Why bother doing this story unless an interview with that specific police officer is pursued and his name released?
That meant nothing
So all these ppl saw him right before he went missing, and never called his parents as they watched. But instead called about the paper not being there. I’m never letting my children out of my sight, period
That was normal for ppl to call the paper and report the paper being late unless you had the paperboys home number
*PERIODT
MR. Hair omg the was my first thought!! Like, I would’ve driven the boy home and told his parents what was going on, especially when the boy got so uncomfortable he left to WALK home
It was diffrent on dose day an years you would trust any body it was difrant times
I hope you are joking but it is not that dangerous out there. Smothering your child and not allowing them to live will create even more vulnerable children.
Instead teach your children to be smart and cautious. Always be watching, always know their surroundings. Scream, be loud, be hard to take. When you are out, quiz your kids. Ask them what looks wrong when you go to the park or on a street. Ask them if someone grabbed them what would they do.
Raise smart kids not scared kids.
Wow. The fact that 150 children were saved from one place.. I can’t even imagine how much more children are missing and being hidden today.
Kenzie Easter
I shudder to think
It's so scary to think of! I think that would be the hardest part of having a missing child/person in your life is the not knowing where they are or whats happening! They could be stuck in some wackos basement! Or in sex slavery!
Say10
If you are 12 then you are dumb and you don't know ANYTHING.
Say10 lol, seriously. If people can commit murder in cold blood, why wouldn't there be people who want to have sex with children? Some people are sick and that's fact. You should listen to your parents, that know better.
freya louis
I'm pretty sure it's a troll.
I live ONE street away from where Johnny went missing and I 2019 people still talk about this and the police department has not changed. Its sick.
Community needs a secret mulisha.
I am from outside the America, so I wanna know if its only the police dept there thats a problem or the entire country's
Raof Abdullah It’s a problem all over the country. Not necessarily to this degree, and not in all cases. However, if you watch enough true crime it begins to become exceedingly clear that there is a massive corruption problem. Very sad stuff.
Raof Abdullah it’s a problem throughout the country, but not all officers are corrupt
I hope you stay safe ❤️
Anyone else got annoyed when the male co host kept cutting off the female co host when asking if he'd take a DNA test?
yup hes gotta be part of the ring
Right and i feel if she was a man, he wouldn't have acted so rude
That's Bo Dietl. He's garbage.
Yes!!!!
I, in fact, didn't like her, he already said he would take a test, both guys were trying to make sense about the rumour and she kept blindly pushing that narrative without facing what even the titular (the actual guy referenced in the speculation) was telling.
This child disappears in the middle of his paper route, abandoning his bike, wagon and DOG, bringing NOTHING with him after multiple witnesses see a man in a car following him.... and the police said "There was no crime scene, no one saw anything that was an explanation for the boy's disappearance...." ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
Yeah, I'm pretty sure everything points out that he ran away tsc tsc.
Who would believe that? He was scared and felt that something was going to happen, it's a shame that he couldn't be saved.
The crazy thing is that the dog was the last living witness to see what fully happened to Johnny that morning. If only animals could speak
@@sissysovereign1294 i thought the same
Coverup
Wait why didn't the dog chased after him and the man! 🐶
Anyone else notice Jeff's mannerisms while being questioned? He seems nervous and almost has a stammer, just like Johnny was mentioned having when he got nervous earlier in the video. I'm not 100% sold on this theory but that was interesting to me.
Also when people change their name they usually pick a name that starts with the same letter.
Kathy Google Jeff Gannon and Johnny gosch side by side pics of them smiling. Same exact teeth..
I mean he was kinda being attacked and the other guy in the interview is talking for him. Idk I feel like it was awkward for him. But also they did say Johnny had a stammer when he was nervous or upset 🤷🏻♀️
My parents went to college with Jeff Gannon at Westchester University in PA. He's not Johnny, because he's much older. He was born in 58.
I didn't until you said something then I went back and watched again and totally see what you see. He seems off
Thats definitely him. He's got the stammer too, from what they said it comes out when he's nervous or scared, and when you see him you can tell he's looking at someone or something that's scaring him. I think he was being threatened and thats why he isn't admitting who he is. Not to mention if he's a victim of sex trafficing who's to say the person who bought him isn't a high official?
His mother deserves so much respect. You can tell she wasn't taking any bullshit.
It looked like he was reading something at one point too, from above the camera line.
The stammer got me!
Also he spoke the exact way I would suspect someone who wouldn't want a dna test would speak. He acted like he would take the dna test if necessary but resisted it by pretending there was already a ton of evidence. It was almost as if someone told him to not look suspicious but also not blow his cover.
I absolutely think it could be him. It looks like him and whether it really is or not he definitely is hiding something because boy is he acting weird. And yes, he does have a bit of a stutter, people who have one oftentimes blink their eyes that way. It definitely can come out when a person is nervous. I really am suspect it's him but sadly I don't think we'll ever know because no one should force him to come home...his poor mom.
So he complains about being harassed and how it affects his family and life yet won’t get a DNA test to set the record straight? What ever happenEd to taking a cup out of the trash or whatever... his eyes and behavior definitely have me questioning who he is. And being bald is probably the easiest way to morph into being someone else...
when i was 11 years old, me and my family went on a holiday in las vegas (we're not from the states). a lady came up to me when i was alone waiting for my parents at the hotel we were staying at, and asked me to accompany her up the elevator because she had a fear of them. i told her yes, but that i needed to find my parents first to let them know. when i came back, she was gone. there is a real possibility that she herself was being held victim of human trafficking, and was looking to recruit members who are young, female and foreign.
human trafficking of children is SO real and i can't even begin to imagine how i could've fallen victim to it.
*we are leaving the porch light on, Moms are like that❣*
I'm not a mother yet but I want to be one and have every intention of doing everything in my power to keep my child safe.
One thing I can't get over is after all those kids were rescued by the fbi, did none of them have anything to say about Johnny?
Good point
JadeLC95 it seems like the police didn’t even care enough to ask. I also wonder if they found his initials on the wall in the hole in the house but who knows if they even looked into that either
Courtney Lambdin I’m sure they did find his initials considering all the names he went by afterwards use JG. Such a sad, crazy story.
they probably dont know names and arent allowed to talk to each other
Do more research. Some of them did know and mention johnny.
I feel like the police man encouraged Johnny to ask to go on his own....
I know! I was thinking the same thing. Like maybe the policeman told Johnny he could be part of an undercover fake sting or something Sunday morning and that's why he wanted to go alone. Also, I still think there's something odd about the phone call and the way the father responded that night/morning JG was abducted. I wonder if Noreen sought to find the cop that was talking to Johnny under the bleachers (WEIRD!!!) or maybe the cop had a fake uniform on. IDK. But it is such a strange case and so sad that Johnny was such a sweet kid and his whole life (and his family's) was destroyed by scumbag pedophiles. Ugh. I wish Noreen and John had taken lie detector tests. Then if John (the dad) was lying at least something would register (unless he's a psychopath and has no guilt). I believe Noreen is telling the truth. God bless her. The abductors didn't know who they were dealing with when they took Johnny. She and John Walsh have done so much for missing and exploited children.
Rebecca Summers what if he wasn’t really a real police officer but infact the kidnapper posing as one ?
Exactly my thoughts. Like, "well, Johnny, aren't you old enough to go on your own? Only little boys have their dads with them"
Rebecca Summers good call on that.
It sounds to me like it's pretty clear Johnny is alive. The visit to his mother's home sounds really convincing. But the poor guy, he is probably under so many threats if he comes home. I hope Noreen has seen him a bunch of other times but is just keeping it to herself for his protection, or the protection of any other vulnerable kids he's around.
Honestly, i think he unfortunately is gone. there is no reason why they would have kept him alive.
No he’s not if was he would’ve been found by now
I believe he's gone too. People have been murdered and their bodies never recovered so that argument doesn't stand
People who thought Noreen was "too pushy" are the people who probably needed a mom like her growing up.
My thing is no matter how a parent acts they judge them sadly 😬
very well said
I swear I’d go freaking nuts if something happened to my baby. like I couldn’t even imagine. I mean pushy wouldn’t begin to describe it, like bruh wtf.

Amen sister! Well said!
After learning about the "blue code of silence" Between cops I one-thousand percent believe that this police department did something
What's the blue code of silence?
@@kikikrueg1669 it's basically don't ask don't tell, or what happens between officers stays between officers
I think its much more than that
@@Ipleadthefifth same
Someone I know went to college to be a police officer and once he learned how sketchy everything and everyone was he decided not to become a cop
I'm not done yet but I can't get over the cops being hung up on the idea that he could be a runaway. What does it matter if he walked off on his own accord?? He's a missing child regardless???
I LNOW RIGHT
God bless Noreen, she’s everything a mother should be. Saying a prayer for Johnny and his family and all the missing children 🙏🏼
I found another piece of evidence. A witness saw a man photographing Johnny on his way home from school two weeks before the kidnapping. She reported it to police, with a license number. The police sneered that taking photos is not a crime and threw away the license number.
Wheres your source?? This is insane !!
holy shit what?! those fucking cops what the hell is wrong with them??? i bet the police fucking kidnapped johnny!!
Omg I need someone to reply!
Nap Queen look up Noreen Gosch and just listen on RUclips you will learn so much it’s very scary
Listen to the podcast Sword & Scale like episode 5&6 they talk about this and that detail!!
The excuse that he was "just a runaway" was also really flimsy -- because hypothetically, even if he was a runaway, HE'S A CHILD! The world is unsafe for runaway minors.
Exactly! When I ran away there was an APB and they were looking for us. They broke the door down and took us to the police station when they found us.
It makes no sense...unless there is something so much bigger at play...then it makes perfect sense!
This probably goes without saying but PLEASE DO THE FRANKLIN COVER UP!!!
Alina Alive Kendall, pleassssse
YES PLEASE and you should also do the Catherine Fuller Murder (sometimes under 8th and H Crew)
It really goes hand in hand with this case. I haven't watched the whole video yet, but I wonder how much she gets into it.
Lord the Franklin Cover Up is such a terrible tragic story!!! So much corruption and sick nasty political men! I hope she makes a video on it!
it's things like this that make me sick of politicians. im sure not all of them. but there must be a powerful handful who are
I heard a crazy story a few years back when listening to a Johnny Gosh documentary. A lady that was at some sort of rest stop or gas station somewhere in Iowa a few years after Johnny’s disappearance (my details might be shaky, it’s been a while), she said that she saw some young boys on the side or back of the building as she was walking out of the gas station and as she was getting into her car, a young teenage boy came up to her saying that he was a missing kid named Johnny Gosh and to please help him. She said the kids seemed very frantic and scared, but right at that exact moment a few grown men walked up and grabbed the boys, yelled at them and forced them to come with them. She could tell that the men definitely had power and control over the boys.The woman felt helpless because she was by herself and way out numbered with a few men who seemed “not so nice!” Of course she reported it but nothing ever came of it because obviously she didn’t know what happened to the kid that claimed to be Johnny and the other boys he was with. They took off real fast and within a minute, the interaction was over. She never even thought to get a license plate number. I thought that was a very important part to the story and I was surprised it wasn’t mentioned. However you did mention a few times that there was a lot of stuff you had to leave out because of time restraints, so I get it
The fact that people were wishing death on Johnny is disgusting! His mother was simply trying to get him back and people treated them like shit for it...
Those are the same people who believe large scale sex trafficking is a myth and children really want to have sex with adults.
When Kendall says “..but I’m not going to go into that” I’m like NO NO! Please go into it! Please tell me more!”
Some times its dangerous talking how the police or government is corrupt. It sometimes gets flagged on youtube
I've always felt that Johnny can't go home because once he reached a certain age the trafficers started forcing him to participating in the kidnappings or other illegal activities. I feel like they would have forced participation and then made sure he understood that he would be in trouble if he ever revieled himself and his activities.
Megan G. That's what I was thinking too. He is just in too deep.
That's what Epstein did with his victims
This is what I wonder. I’ve watched this video before but I’m back again! This case kinda haunts me..I want answers!
I believe this completely. the justice system has no problem incarcerating victims who were used for recruiting. It keeps victims from coming forward.
I always thought that but I believe hr became a victim of Stockholm syndrome.. Also feel a few on the police force were involved deeper than they said.. Police are like cults in small towns.. Johnny aged out and just didn't return home out of being brainwashed to believe he wasn't wanted or loved after being taken. So if U can't beat them join then mentality
The love John’s moms voice it’s very soothing
I noticed there was wind chimes in the background a few times too.
Johnnys mom voice is so soft thats heartbreaking thats why im scared to have kids my aniexty is already sky high :(
Its Sharlele same
I'm a mama of 3 with anxiety and I had to stop the video last night, just finishing watching it now. It seriously is a mother's worst fear and it feels impossible to be able to protect them 😭
Sippin Wid Sharlele I have one child my anxiety is so bad every day and when we go out in public I don’t let go because I panic and it’s always in my head to protect my child I feel crazy sometimes but I know I have to be like that in this day and age
Why the hell would anybody demonetize a video trying to find a lost child? It’s unbelievable. It breaks my heart. 💔
Because RUclips thinks that Jake Paul and prank videos are more important than real life cases that need to be spread around to help possible victims and the families of victims. 🙄😒
I hate the fact that what you just said was true
Eth's Bae It’s so effed up.
LuLuLand13 maybe it's to stop people from exploiting missing people cases but that's not my opinion
LuLuLand13 Some could argue she's making profit off these individuals and what has happened to them. But i think it would be better if she was able to make a profit off these videos, so that she can keep making more videos like this. That just gets the word out about more stories, more missing people, etc.
I was almost kidnapped too when I was 11, 2 men on a motorbike came towards me as I left my house and because my house was on a high platform, it saved my life. By the time the man behind the driver came at me, I managed to run back and take the screen door with me which gave me an additional few seconds to close the main door! The man banged on the door a few times and left and my gran came up behind me and asked what happened. When I told her, she ran and told my dad and uncle. They chased the 2 men which ended up busting a massive sex trafficking ring, where they took the kids across the country. I sometimes forget about the whole experience but when I think about it, it sends chills down my spine. I can still see the moment of fear I felt as I got the feeling these men coming down the street on motorbikes where not right :(
Can we get like an article about that? I'm sure stopping an underground sexring is pretty newsworthy. Maybe leave a link or give us more information.
Haha Khan - Good lord! How utterly terrifying! Thank heavens you were so quick to act. May I ask what year this was? Sometimes it is possible to track the actions of the public and police by the era of the event. I am a kid of the 60s and 70s, lower-middle-class neighborhood. The only creepy thing I recall was that there was this guy driving around exposing himself to young girls, one of whom was my neighbor. The only thing our parents told us was if we saw him to not go over to his car and stay in our yards.
Thank God that you could go back to the house❤️ I know it’s a terrible memory for you, but fortunately they didn’t take you and you’re okay💗
Thank god dude you survived that has to be the luckiest day of your life I’m glad your with us I truly am
Hana Khan I’m so sorry you had to go through something like that!!! But I’m glad they were able to bust those guys that’s insane
The dad is suspect. Late night phone calls. Did he sell his own child? God this story is absolutely horrifying. My heart breaks for all these abducted children and their parents.
Oh my god oh my goddddddddd. He took them to a house with an underground basement with boys' initials carved???? And this was never further investigated? Honestly fuck that. This makes me so angry and confused. Poor Johnny
Mary Joy no kidding! Why isn’t that being investigated? Who owned that house ? So infuriating
Say10 yes there is.
Say10 damn, you're right!! Can't believe the government and police have entire departments dedicated to tracking it down when you - a RUclips commenter - can safely say it isn't so. You should let them know
Say10 it is very real your mom is just looking out for you. This isn't some big conspiracy to scare kids.
Say10 Because they are PEDOPHILES thats why. And oh my god your right God allows people to get murdered and wars to happen and shootings at school to occur but your right why would he allow this
I wish all of your videos were this long, leave in more info let the smaller cases be a little bit longer it's worth it
Yes! Please Kendall!
Skye Butcher agreed! Her videos are my fave
Skye Butcher KENDALL RAE
I'd love them to do this case on there podcast as I've followed this and kendal is right there is so much more information on this to be able to cover in a shorter video. The more you delve into it the sicker it becomes. He apparently was saw in white house using another name which had same initials JG. And he also, went to see his mum at one point she claimed asking her to stop looking for him. Also the horrors that Paul B said he witnessed with younger Johnny was just vile. I think it's possible that they have messed him up so much that he has maybe went from the kidnapped to kidnapper. Paul B also said they were being used in sex trafficking for ppl in the Whitehouse and in one case witnessed a young boy being violently raped my a prominent figure while pal and Johnny were being raped by others then, they witnessed the other boy being shot in the head while they were in a cage and told to shut up or they were next.If Paul made that up he's one sick person but tbh I believe him. As he knew too much about secret ways that they were taken into the white house etc...This is so unbelievably sad. I couldn't live if my child was going through torture like that! Men who are dirty scumbag pedos in position of power and who abuse should get castrated! Same thing happened in UK with the BBC which I call the British beasts channel. The pics kendal is talking about I've saw and would be heartbreaking for a parent to see.
Angela Drummond How did you hear about all the stuff Paul said?
When I was 11 years old, I noticed a gas company truck following the bus. When I got off the bus, I was already on high alert. I got off the bus and began walking to my house. We lived on a culdesac so my house was only a few houses down. The man driving the truck pulled up next to me and complimented me. I said thank you and kept walking. Then he told me how cute I was and kept saying he “loves my bow legs” and then he asked me to get in the car. He was coaxing me to get in the car. I ran to the house, locked the door and called my mom. That’s when I saw him and another man (also dressed in the local gas company uniform) at the door telling me to come out of the house.
THIS IS SO REAL.
Your maturity saved your life!
I have had some SERIOUSLY close calls with kidnapping, too. I'm so glad you're okay.
Holy shit
A guy telling two different girls the same thing....that's too wild to be a coincidence
So scary.. glad you are okay!
I hate when people blame parents for not caring. Like you've said before, everyone deals with situations different and this mom is just a strong woman. She's not gonna give up and fight for her son.
How can you dislike anyone wanting to find their son? What kind of crazy people are those?!
@Lenia N. Ldzn no, it's usually a trope in movies. Also some little kids run away when they feel they've been wronged by their parents and usually come back when they finished their snacks.
Cuz they are in on it
No way that “police officer” was a real one. It was probably a human trafficker that tracked him down. The father seems suspicious but I am not too sure.
or he was a police officer And a human trafficker. it’s more common than you think. clearly the cops working this case didn’t give a shit, so...
yes my first thought was that the police officer was in on a pedophile ring and arranged the whole situation with the father
Assuming police officers aren't bad people too
It could have been a fake cop or a real cop who was a pedophile. One theory is that human trafficking and pedophilia rings are run by police officers or government agents.

jj gavin maybe you’re Johnny
I feel like Noreen didn’t tell anybody about Johnny showing up to the house because she didn’t want it getting media attention which could put Johnny in harm from the people he was with as they’d know he spoke to her
But how can Johnny show up at the house all by himself and if the kidnapper took Johnny to his house why would he do it?
Mi G he didn’t show up by himself. He had another man with him. He just didn’t introduce his mom to him.

EmmaLight1 I don't think companies like clorox or something would want to advertise on a video like this.
It's monetized now.
I think Noreen knows where Johnny is. I think she’s gotten ahold of him too. She wrote a book about Johnny not being able to come home. I think it’s the fact that Johnny knows all too much about sex trafficking and the pedophilia ring and who is involved. In that case, he couldn’t come home because it’d be a danger to not only him, but his family.
I read that he did indeed see his mum and explained he couldn’t cone back home. Also a guy in prison met him I think he said they were branded ( remind u of anything Nixium ?) yes it was the peodo s
You cant just come home after that as he has committed many crimes (even though he was forced to) and there would be many dangerous people looking for him.

One thing: the dollar bill was confirmed to be signed by Johnny. They had multiple handwriting analysts brought in and they confirmed that it was his signature. The Faded Out podcast did an entire series on this case and discussed the dollar bill
I was wondering about that part. By 12 he would have plenty of papers with his handwriting to compare to, and even when people try to make it not look like theirs experts can usually still tell.
that’s so awesome, that hope would reach his mother. it brings tears to my eyes even though he never came home for good.
I see a lot of comments saying he’s “48” so therefore he’s too old to be Johnny. I’m not saying it’s him but if I was running away from a 1.6 Billion dollar industry and people of high power, I would change my age and my identity along with it.
Pyt Diany he would not be too old. my mom is 36 and she was born the year he was taken. he was also 12 when he was taken, right? so....36+12=48
stan twice same lol
@@usagimelo Except that interview wasn't this year, right? If it was given around a decade ago "48" would be too old (I still think it's possible he was just lying about his age though.)

@William Brynn What does skin tone have to do with age??
I love you so much for calling out corruption like this, raising money, and using your platform to spread the truth.
I think she was just being strong, clearly she was working very hard to find him and you could tell she was very in touch with reality. She just had her shit together, how’s crying on camera going to help find him?
True!
Yeah i think her tears were dry when you're in so much pain for so long u kind of become immune not thay u don't care but your tears get dry... idk if it makes sense
Agreed! It reminds me of a time I was in the ER for an obstruction and the nurse asked my pain level and I said 10. She blankly said, “You’re pretty put together for that amount of pain” so I said, “Would it help the situation if I was hysterical and in the fetal position?!” She said “good point” and went back to work. I’ve dealt with chronic pain long enough to be a strong advocate for myself just as Noreen had dealt with far too many challenges and knew how to mean business and fight for her family!
Anyone else just ended this video with the most horrible feeling ever? I have the worst sinking feeling in my stomach after watching this, ...My heart and prayers go out to victims of human trafficking and their families. Thank you kendall so much for this video and for bringing awareness to this topic Im buying so many shirts to support thorn
Alexandra same honestly the most uncomfortable i've felt in a while
I'm only 22 minutes in and I have the worst gut sinking feeling. My heart is just hurting for all of the families.
Yes I have this feeling as well.. it sent down so many chills down my spine and I felt like my heart was sinking to my stomach. This is just so devastating that this type of stuff happens all the time
Same... makes me so sad and angry. It's pure evil.
exactly how i felt after watching the documentary about him on netflix...i just pressed it without knowing any info about him and i wasnt prepared .... ughhhhh the pics taken of these poor children is scarring. from time to time i think of these kinds of cases and my skin just crawls. sooo disturbing.
I definitely think that while Johnny was talking to the police officer he told him that he was going to deliver the papers that week and the route he takes. The police officer, having something to do with the trafficking ring, told someone where Johnny was gonna be and thats how he got abducted
Celeste Mora yup!
Celeste Mora I think so too. Maybe the police officer encouraged him to go alone.
I thought it was a grooming situation. Like the cop was a trafficker just dressed as a cop to get kids to trust him. He might have promised a cool trip or something because remember the night before he went missing he randomly told his mom that no matter what, he loves her and that she’s the best. And wanted to do the route alone that morning. I think they made a deal to meet up and maybe Johnny got sketched out last minute but it was too late
Melissa Hopkins yeah I was debating whether or not it was even a real cop.
“Ghosts in blue” scare the shit out of me. I was pulled over by a sheriff in the middle of the ozark mountains, no cell service at all, I kept my hand on my taser and recorded our conversation without him knowing just in case anything happened. I was shaking thinking of all the bad cops out there. Luckily he was very nice and didn’t even give me a ticket just wanted me to slow down and be safe

So sad
As a momma, that breaks my heart. I am sure you would never, ever want to give up hope that your baby will come home.
The police work in this one actually literally made my jaw drop . I had to rewind because I thought I was hearing it wrong
This girl needs her own true crime/conspiracy tv show
That would be amazing
Bunny Kicks YES
if it was on hulu or netflixs ill watch it in a heart beat
She has her own show-
Why didn't the mom or dad ask what they talked about??? (Police officer) So weird. I would be asking questions if my kids were talking to a stranger
Rebecca Luna this was long ago when people had trust in people and were ignorant
Why did they not try to locate the police officer or security guard who was at the football game and question him?
heaven garcia yeah, but the mom thought it was weird. That would have been the first question to my son. I think he was definitely involved. Who randomly talks to a young boy twice alone and the second time under the bleachers?
They probably did. Noreen is & was a very attentive mom from what I can tell.
I'm late here but that's not true at all. Back then we all knew as much as you know now. We were taught in class all the time. We had special assemblies to learn about these things. I even remember learning what to do if I was put in a trunk and what to scream and how to scream if I needed help that would draw the most attention. Parents had access to the news and newspapers and kidnapping and sexual abuse sold papers back then just like today. We knew. Our parents knew.
Wait was I the only one who thought when the dad picked up the phone and what he was saying was sketchy???
Trina B. Or the man who sold his son
Trina B. I’ve never had an affair but I would know better than to have that person called me on the same day at the same time EVERY week. That would be too obvious. I think he had no control because the person who was calling him was higher up and made the rules. He only “received” calls. Plus the mom talks about how he didn’t want to search for Johnny and was delaying the search and hindering information every chance he got
They were receiving calls at the same time for weeks. John always picked up and said "no, no" but that day was the only day he said "yes, all right, yes all right. Ok" Noreen thinks they were calling him to kidnap his son and he changed the answer because he was telling them that Sunday they had finally his way free to Johnny.
NowF4TS OMG, I didn’t pick up on that!!!
Noreen is a total badass mom! She is reacting the way many of us would in the situation.
I think the cops were running a child trafficking ring. 😭
Yes I agree. Police involved.
Unfortunately they usually are running all types of illegal things through all police departments. Adult Sex trafficking, child sex trafficking, drug trafficking, money laundering, robbery, murder, witness intimidation, etc.
at minimum, making money off of it.
More likely getting kickbacks to look the other way.
100%
“I am not personally familiar with that case” cough cough.... IS THIS EFFING REAL LIFE RIGHT NOW?!?!?! What the FFFFFFFFF?!?!?!?!
He is truly fucking sketchy
HE COULDN'T EVEN HIDE IT FOR A SECOND LIKE WHAT THE FUCK that was the worst lie in history
FBI is pure EVIL. No matter how much you hate the govt, it's not nearly enough!
literally out of all the other videos about johnny this one gives so much more insight and important evidence... i never even knew how fishy the police were before and during his disappearance and the prisoner like why has no one else mentioned this? is it because they are afraid of the trafficking ring?
maybe they were afraid, maybe they were told by important people not to investigate, maybe they were part of it...
I think people just do not want to show how corrupt some police and politicians are in this country. They don’t want to cause distrust between authorities and regular people
I looked up other videos on this case and it seems like trying to blame the parents.
If you have Netflix johnnys mom made a whole documentary on it. It gets pretty dark but it's very good. It's called who took Johnny
Miss Myself it is good and very informative, but what I noticed was a subplot from others trying to make the mother appear unduly emotional and histrionic
Johnny's Mother has my full respect. To go through something so harrowing as a parent and do soo much good is just incredible. All whilst the police force does nothing and people hate on her.
I live in the same neighborhood as his mother and the place he was taken from is at the corner of my street. This stuff hits home and changed the way people in my area live. We live right by an interstate so it makes human trafficking much easier and there are frequent kidnapping attempts in the neighborhood to this day.
Akilah Canada same here. I live in a town that has a major Texas Highway that’s only an hour from Houston - the largest trafficking area. I never want to take my kids out anywhere. It’s creepy.
Akilah Canada oh wow! Does him mom still live in that same house???
Emily Nashea I live in Mcallen Texas and the sex trafficking starts from the beginning of the highway down here to upstate! It’s scary
Karla Aleman it really is. I love Texas with every fiber of my being but it’s so so huge here. My area has one of the highest rates of unsolved missing persons cases. It’s freaky to even think about.
Also, my best friend is from McAllen!
Emily Nashea where are you from?! And yes Texas is HUGE! It’s so scary.
"my real mother" ... i think that was very bizarre for him to say. you would just say your mom, not your real mom. this is so so so sad
If so he is really Johnny , and logically that act would be weird but maybe he did so because someone threaten him to be known as Johnny? Wdya think
The way he conducted his live tv interviews got me.
He was twitching and blinking a lot. And Kendall mentioned he had a stammer when stressed?
@@jadekiimberly105 very interesting point..i noticed the twitching and what not as well but did not put that connection together..
Since they asked if she was his mother, saying about his real mother is a logical way of talking.

I am a survivor of human sex trafficking at 17 and I need to say how refreshing the way you talk about victims and the problem is. As with all your videos and/ victims that you cover. 'm grateful. This is an old video, but Ive been binging you the last few days! 💛 U
God Bless you Shelby nicole ! You are in my Prayers !
I'm so sorry that happened to you.
bad police always infuriates me so much
Deutschehordenelite So, last year a weird guy was following me while I was walking home from school. The guy looked like he was on something... I called the police and a lady answered, I told her what was happening and what he looked like.i started running home because he was walking a bit faster. The police never came to my house until the NEXT DAY! I feel like some police don’t try their best. Anyway I hope you had a great day :) (I just felt like I had to tell you) xD
I usually never comment, but You inspire me to educate myself more about issues like this. I watch you videos all the time and they are amazing, but I really believe you will change and touch peoples lives with your videos. This is the side of RUclips people should be on. This is why RUclips exists.
The strongest piece of evidence to anyone who was around back in 82’ is that he had a Yamaha YZ 80. The dream of every kid in America. No one runs away from that bike.
IT REALLY PISSES ME THE FUCKK OFF that we dont hear about this stuff on the news or anywhere for that matter. But we are bombarded with kartrashians and other bs ... its like they purposely dont want us to know !! thank you so much for this kendall
postive vibes this probably was talked about on the news.... in the 80s... when it happened...
hahayourfunny94 I think they were meaning about sex trafficking in general, not necessarily about this case specifically
postive vibes lol
hahayourfunny94 im talking about sex trafficking in general ...
postive vibes I hear of sex trafficking all the time. I don't know what news sources you subscribe but if it's just RUclips Facebook even Reddit etc you might not see it. And the case of Johnny Gosch has been extensively covered on TV, in papers and magazines and on the internet. Remember this happened about 30 years ago, the news has to move on.
This happened in my state. My grandpa was a police officer in Des Moines at the time, but didn’t work the case bc it wasn’t in his district. My mom told me about this growing up as a warning against strangers. To this day his mother searches for him, it’s just so heartbreaking. I’m so thankful for people like you who raise awareness & shed a light in the dark.
This Jeff guy who everyone thinks is Johnny he would not be so defensive if he was really Johnny.
I mean if if this guy really is Johnny gottsch then why would someone like Jeff who's really Johnny hide the fact that he's Johnny for decades now when those people that got him are dead or they're going to die soon, and not only that but if there's a guy hiding and using a different name who's really Johnny then what's he going to do wait till his mom's about to die before he tells her the truth that would be messed up.
It’s sick to think that someone could hurt a child. God bless everyone who is helping to stop these sick ppl. Thank you for sharing this story! ❤️
this is the exact reason I’m not sure if I ever will be able to bring children in this world. The absolute terror that mother had to go through would destroy me, she is a incredibly strong women.
There’s a higher chance of getting struck by lightning, dying on the stairs, than there is getting kidnapped
@@ThatStupidCircle89 Really?
I'm 46 and my two children are grown men now, and I still have nightmares of them as kids disappearing.
@Sarcastic.1 I would take my son to the park and drop him off, then drive around to the other side of the park and watch him without him knowing. That is when he got old enough to not want me there...you know, when it was embarrassing to have me there. So instead I’d hide and watch him.
What happened with the police officer that Johnny was talking to at the football game? Could he have been involved with his disappearance? That whole part of the story seemed really sketchy to me.
Natalie Porpora it’s very bizzare that a grown man would go under bleachers with a pre teen boy
same , and the fact that 2 nights after he wanted to do paper round on his own as if the officer had persuaded him to do it ??
Natalie Porpora I think he was involved. It's far too suspicious
What if he wasn’t a policeman, or if he was, what if he was part of the ring already. Paul Bonacci said that they lured younger boys and girls into the ring by befriending them and seeming like someone like trust.
