Talk:Disappearance of Johnny Gosch

message: ===Death Threats===
Excuse me my lack of wiki skills but I am just swinging by. I noticed the article says that the boy's mother received death threats when she began her campaign of justice for abducted children. Checking the source cited it says she says she recieved death threats. This seems like an important distinction to me.

message: After much expansion, I believe this is closer to a proper article, and am removing it the stub notice.  It still needs further contribution and certainly would benefit from editing by others. Chris Stangl 01:40, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Nearly all the text of this article smacks of conspiracy theorizing, bias and nonsense.  Various conspiracy theories may have a place in the article, but must be noted as such and separated from the factual data of the case.  This page seriously needs BOTH Attention and Cleanup.

message: Why is the "Conspiracy of Silence" so powerful? Why don't more people know or care about this story?
http://www.kwwl.com/global/story.asp?s=3226392&ClientType=Printable local TV station article 
 Conspiracy of Silence [Every American Should See This Video]  http://www.libertypost.org/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=88377 excellent article, with links to the video, 
which 1 year after all copies were thought to have been destroyed was sent to an investigator. 
This was extensive investigative report was banned from TV (Discovery Channel in US), and all copies were ordered to have been destroyed. Who has this kind of power?  People apparently were killed over this.
If there are people that ruthless, and evil out there, they need to be dealt with.
We have a right and need to know the truth. 
Please read the above information, and watch the video, and think hard. This is more than the heart breaking story of one boy, his mom, family and neighborhood. This is a true story that has implications that should concern all of US.

thread_title: Conspiracy of Silence

message: In 2005, Gosch was the subject of a conspiracy theory centering around conservative journalist Jeff Gannon.  In the 1990's, Gannon ran a homosexual escort service under his real name, James Guckert.  Gannon/Guckert's escort service reportedly serviced Washington, D.C. political clients, and paid visits to the White House.  The first public speculation linking the two cases occurred on February 26, 2005, on The Democratic Underground, a liberal political website.
Skeptics of the Gannon connection point out that no DNA evidence has ever been tendered, the ages of Gosch and Gannon do not match, nor do they resemble one another.  Gannon himself does not lend any credence to the theory and flatly denies that he is Johnny Gosch.  Conspiracy theorists counter that Gannon may be unaware he is Gosch, all memory of his past life perhaps obliterated by MK-Ultra, Project Monarch, or complicity with the conspiracy.
On July 8, 2005 Jeff Gannon called into the radio program A Closer Look hosted by Michael Corbin and agreed to take a DNA test to prove he was not the missing boy.  As of June 2006 Gannon has not taken the test even though the offer remains open with Johnny's mom Noreen Gosch.   On May 10, 2006 occult author William H. Kennedy was a guest on A Closer Look and renewed the offer for Gannon to take the DNA test with Norren Gosch.

thread_title: Johnny Gosch and Jeff Gannon

message: I was reading this and occam's razor kicked in - the story of this kid is a great, uh, story but it really doesn't add up for me for this reason: If you abducted a kid for sex trafficking, you wouldn't send the parents pictures of the kid bound like that at different points in their life (I looked at the mom's website), and you probably wouldn't send death threats - at this time the case is cold, so a criminal org as good as this one (child sex trafficking with no one the wiser? pretty crafty criminals!) wouldn't risk reopening the case and inciting public awareness of the crime.
So then I wondered if maybe it's a serial killer type guy that never actually kills the victim.  But then mthe mother says the kid is alive and living under a secret identity. 
So my question is: Has anyone checked to see if the mother faked it all for attention?  It seems like she gets a fairly constant stream of attention from her son's abduction, enough that it would probably be safe for him to come forward at this point and name his abductors.  If he had just disappeared I would think that she was just unable to accept his disappearance (fully understandable), but the fact that she produces pictures of him occasionally makes me suspicious. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.224.204.21 (talk) 17:19, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think she's making it up for attention.  I think what the person below said is the most likely:  Noreen Gosch simply can't deal with the disappearance of her son.  The whole Nebraska sex trafficking is related only insofar as that it served as a point where Ms. Gosch could focus her attention for her search for her son since the sex trafficking/CIA conspiracy theory is basically a black hole that can never been disproven beyond a reasonable doubt.  And then pictures show up on the internet and it's just one more straw that can be grasped...  Maybe Johnny did show up and meet his mother after the fact.  It could all be true after all, but the simplest solution is that there is no conspiracy and his mother has been grasping at straws for years. --Sephiroth9611 (talk) 14:28, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Has anyone looked into the possiblity of munchausen by proxy variant? 

message: In 1984, Gosch's photograph appeared alongside that of Juanita Rafaela Estavez on milk cartons across America; they were the first two abducted children to have their plights publicized in this way. Numerous sources state that Etan Patz was the first child to appear on a milk carton , not Johnny Gosch. Does anyone have any additional sources that say Gosch and Estavez was first? --Yankees76 (talk) 20:33, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: This will need further discussion, as the recent re-interest in the Patz case has result in a huge number of source that identify Patz as the "milk carton kid" --Yankees76 Talk 14:30, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Milk Carton 

message: The picture of the "Bald Headed Man" wearing a t-shirt
which says "it looks like a guy with what appears to 
be a rope around his neck"....
"Which says he is one of the pedophiles involved. etc....."
Which the website and other places on this Johnny Gosch case that said 
this.
However, this black & white picture looks alot like Col. William R. Higgins 
who was killed by Hezbollah in 1990.
Is this who the picture is of?
Something that someone should look into to see if this is the case..
I could be wrong..
