People view the Johnny Gosch case in one of two ways: The case is unsolved, or the case is solved — though no one has any idea if Johnny Gosch is still alive today and, if so, where he might be.

Noreen Gosch, Johnny’s mom, is convinced her son was kidnapped by pedophiles and sold into an organized pedophile ring. The circumstances surrounding that theory are…well, astounding, for lack of a better word. Terrifying, twisted, sick. And because it is so twisted, many people dismiss it as either fantasy, or a fictional tale dreamed up by a mom driven insane trying to look for her son.

A huge thanks to CAVDEF for providing such a massive trove of information on this case.

With the West Des Moines police unwilling to properly investigate the abduction of Johnny Gosch, the burden fell squarely on the shoulders of Noreen and John Sr.
