Gone But Not Forgotten: Johnny Gosch
Johnny Gosch, a 12-year-old paperboy from West Des Moines, Iowa, disappeared on the morning of September 5, 1982, while on his delivery route. Witnesses reported seeing him talking to a man in a car before he vanished, though no clear evidence or motive ever surfaced. His disappearance gained national attention, marking one of the earliest cases of a missing child featured on milk cartons. Johnny’s mother, Noreen Gosch, became a determined advocate for missing children, pushing for better laws and protocols around child abductions and tirelessly seeking answers.Over the years, the case became surrounded by numerous theories and mysterious claims. In 1997, Noreen claimed that Johnny visited her briefly in the middle of the night, saying he was living under a different identity and still in danger, but this account was never substantiated. Other theories, including possible involvement in human trafficking and connections to a high-profile pedophile ring, emerged but lacked conclusive evidence. Despite extensive media coverage and ongoing investigation, Johnny’s case remains unsolved, leaving his family and the public to question what truly happened that morning in 1982.(commercial at 10:12)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://allthatsinteresting.com/johnny-goschBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Gone But Not Forgotten: The Murder Of Laken Riley
On February 22, 2024, 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley was tragically murdered while jogging on the University of Georgia campus in Athens. Her body was discovered in Oconee Forest Park near Lake Herrick, with the cause of death determined as blunt force trauma and asphyxiation. The assailant, 26-year-old José Antonio Ibarra, an undocumented immigrant from Venezuela, attacked Riley during her run, leading to her untimely death.Ibarra was arrested and charged with multiple offenses, including malice murder, felony murder, kidnapping, and aggravated assault with intent to rape. In November 2024, following a bench trial, he was found guilty on all counts and sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. The case drew national attention, fueling debates on immigration policies and public safety. In response, the U.S. Congress passed the "Laken Riley Act," mandating the detention of undocumented immigrants charged with or convicted of certain crimes. President Donald Trump signed the bill into law on January 29, 2025, marking it as the first legislation of his second term.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Gone But Not Forgotten: Lisanne Froon And Kris Kremers
Lisanne Froon and Kris Kremers were two young Dutch women from Amersfoort, Netherlands, who traveled to Panama in March 2014 for a volunteer trip. Both in their early twenties—Froon was 22 and Kremers 21—they were adventurous, responsible, and well-educated, described by friends and family as bright and full of life. Their plan was to spend several weeks in Boquete, a mountain town popular with tourists, where they would work with local children and explore the nearby jungles and trails during their free time. Before their volunteer work officially began, they decided to take a hike on April 1, 2014, along the scenic El Pianista trail, a route known for its beauty but also its remote and treacherous terrain.When the two failed to return, a massive search effort was launched involving local authorities, Dutch investigators, and volunteer teams. Days later, some of their belongings—including Lisanne’s camera and Kris’s backpack—were discovered along a riverbank deep in the jungle. The recovered photos and data painted a chilling picture: early selfies from their hike showed them happy and carefree, but later nighttime images suggested they were lost, disoriented, and possibly injured. Fragments of their bones and remains were eventually found, but their cause of death remains unresolved. The mysterious circumstances of their disappearance—combined with eerie photographs and strange phone activity—have fueled countless theories ranging from tragic accident to foul play, turning their story into one of the most haunting modern travel mysteries.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Gone But Not Forgotten: Jason Jolkowski
Jason Jolkowski, a 19-year-old from Omaha, Nebraska, disappeared on June 13, 2001, while walking to meet a coworker for a ride to work. Despite extensive investigations by the police and relentless advocacy by his family, no leads or evidence have surfaced to explain his disappearance. His mother, Kelly Jolkowski, founded Project Jason, a non-profit that supports families of missing persons, and pushed for legislative changes, resulting in the passage of “Jason's Law” in Nebraska. Numerous theories have been proposed, including abduction, medical emergency, or trafficking, but none have been substantiated. The family continues to fight for answers, utilizing new forensic technologies, private investigators, and public outreach efforts, keeping Jason's story alive and advocating for other missing persons. Jason's disappearance remains a haunting mystery, but his family's unbreakable determination to find him and bring awareness to others in similar situations endures.(commercial at 8:13)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Alex Acosta Goes To Congress: Transcripts From The Alex Acosta Deposition (Part 3) (10/26/25)
When Alex Acosta sat before Congress to explain himself, what unfolded was less an act of accountability and more a masterclass in bureaucratic self-preservation. He painted the 2008 Epstein plea deal as a “strategic compromise,” claiming a federal trial might have been too risky because victims were “unreliable” and evidence was “thin.” In reality, federal prosecutors had a mountain of corroborating witness statements, corroborative travel logs, and sworn victim testimony—yet Acosta gave Epstein the deal of the century. The so-called non-prosecution agreement wasn’t justice; it was a backroom surrender, executed in secrecy, without even notifying the victims. When pressed on this, Acosta spun excuses about legal precedent and “jurisdictional confusion,” never once admitting the obvious: his office protected a rich, politically connected predator at the expense of dozens of trafficked girls.Even more damning was Acosta’s insistence that he acted out of pragmatism, not pressure. He denied that anyone “higher up” told him to back off—even though he once told reporters that he’d been informed Epstein “belonged to intelligence.” Under oath, he downplayed that statement, twisting it into bureaucratic double-speak. He even claimed the deal achieved “some level of justice” because Epstein registered as a sex offender—a hollow justification that only exposed how insulated from reality he remains. Acosta never showed remorse for the irreparable damage caused by his cowardice. His congressional testimony reeked of moral rot, the same rot that let a billionaire pedophile walk free while survivors were left to pick up the pieces.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Acosta Transcript.pdf - Google DriveBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Mega Edition: Ghislaine Maxwell And The PR Push On Her Behalf (10/26/25)
In early 2021, the Maxwell family launched a website called RealGhislaine.com, which they described as a factual information hub designed to counter what they called “media distortions” about their sister. The family positioned the site as a defense against “character assassination,” featuring photos, statements, and claims that Ghislaine Maxwell was being unfairly treated in U.S. custody. The website portrayed her as a wrongfully targeted woman enduring “cruel and unusual” prison conditions, denied fair bail, and vilified because of her association with Jeffrey Epstein. The site also included a section where her siblings—most vocally Ian and Kevin Maxwell—asserted that she was being used as a scapegoat for the failures of U.S. authorities to properly monitor Epstein before his death. It was a deliberate PR strategy meant to shift attention away from the charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy that had already led to her conviction, reframing her image from enabler to victim.The family’s broader campaign extended far beyond the website. They conducted coordinated interviews, published op-eds, and gave statements to outlets like the BBC, The Independent, and The Telegraph, all echoing similar talking points: that Ghislaine’s trial was “tainted by media bias,” that she was “denied due process,” and that she was “paying the price for Epstein’s crimes.” Critics, including lawyers for Epstein’s victims, slammed the PR campaign as tone-deaf and manipulative, accusing the family of whitewashing her crimes and retraumatizing survivors by trying to rewrite the narrative. Victim advocates said the site and interviews were an attempt to maintain Maxwell’s social reputation and influence elite opinion, especially in Britain, where the family retained connections in media and politics. Even after her conviction, the family kept the site active and continued issuing statements insisting that her appeal would “expose systemic injustice” rather than re-examine her crimes.to contact me:bobbycapucci@Protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
