The Omaha Federal Credit Union Scandal: The Fall of a Rising Political Figure and His Potential Links to Pedophilia

The Johnny Gosch case was starting to go cold in September 1990. There were no new leads, no new sightings, and the Gosches were fighting to keep Johnny’s disappearance fresh in people’s minds.

But that was the month that the case took a turn that, to the Gosches, anyway, broke the case wide open.

Johnny’s parents tied their boy’s disappearance to a pedophile sex ring conspiracy almost immediately after it happened, but that theory exploded like napalm when a lawyer and former state senator named John DeCamp came forward with new information.

Some Background: The Franklin Credit Union Scandal

DeCamp was a lawyer for a man named Paul Bonacci, an alleged victim of a supposed child sex ring that was linked to a scandal involving the Franklin Federal Credit Union in Omaha.
