On Sunday, September 5, 1982, in the suburb of West Des Moines, Iowa, a 12-year-old paper boy named Johnny Gosch was abducted in the early morning hours, mere blocks from his sleeping parents.
This was a shocking crime that changed precedent and national abduction legislation. It introduced to the public the unthinkable depravity of child trafficking, slavery and child pornography. It would go on to uncover a global pedophile ring with alleged connections to foreign billionaires and the highest offices in our own government.
The trail leads to many dark and far away places but always seems to wind right back around to the small bedroom community where it happened. This is Part 1.
