The 1982 Disappearance of Paperboy Johnny Gosch

The 1982 Disappearance of Paperboy Johnny Gosch

Timestamps:
(5:58) - Tyler Goodrich Update
(15:00) - Johnny Gosch

On September 5, 1982, Johnny Gosch (12) left his home in the early morning to carry out his paper route. His father would usually go with him, but on that fateful day Johnny went alone.

Witnesses reported seeing Johnny speaking to different men that morning. His red wagon, filled with newspapers, would be found abandoned by his father.

There have been reported sightings of Johnny over the years. Johnny’s mother Noreen has said that in 1997, Johnny showed up at her home to visit her. Johnny explained to Noreen what had happened during his abduction and said that he still feared for his life. Noreen said she hugged him at the end of their visit, and watched him leave.

Could Johnny really be alive and living a life under the radar? Did he really visit his mother 15 years after he vanished?
