In 1982, a paperboy named Johnny Gosch was kidnapped in West Des Moines . For years, his disappearance made national headlines. And now, 23 years later investigators are investigating new developments in Johnny’s case.
If you lived in Iowa during the 1980’s, you've heard about Johnny’s disappearance and his mother’s agonizing search. You may not have heard conspiracy theories involving satanic pedophiles connected to the U.S. government, kidnapping and selling kids into prostitution and forcing them into pornography, but Johnny's mother, Noreen, says she believes that's what happened to Johnny. Even more unusual, Noreen believes Johnny is still very much alive, and once again, in the limelight.
In January, a journalist named Jeff Gannon asked softball questions to President Bush at his weekly press briefing. The questions were so factually inaccurate, people started asking questions. Soon, media colleagues learned Jeff Gannon was really Jim Guckert, a former homosexual prostitute calling himself "Bulldog." But, private investigators say Guckert’s story is full of holes. Investigator James Rothstein says, "Going back to his high school, the Guckert picture doesn't look anything like he does now a days.” That was the first clue former New York City Police Detective found. KWWL talked him in his hometown of Saint Martin, Minnesota . Rothstein told us, "This is no accident that a guy like Gannon ends up in front of the press corps in the White House.”
...And, while the idea may seem far fetched, investigator Rothstein says everything fits, “When you look into the whole abduction of Johnny, what happened, the cover-up that took place, the way the kidnapping was done. This was a professional job and it fits the profile that I have seen over the years as a professional investigator." Rothstein says his investigators asked Gannon about Johnny Gosch, "We had somebody down there already that knocked on his door and the minute he said do you know this woman in Iowa? And, he slammed the door in his face." And, during another attempt, he asked him if he was Johnny Gosch. And, Gannon’s reply was, "I really feel Noreen’s pain." He didn't deny he was Johnny Gosch, but he didn't admit it either.
