John ’ s mother, Noreen Gosch , hired private investigators to look into her son’s disappearance. She believes he was kidnapped and sold into a pedophile prostitution ring. She claimed she was visited by her son when she testified during a 1999 pedophile crime organization trial in Nebraska. In 1982, Johnny Gosch disappeared and the Gosch family found themselves living a parents’ worst nightmare. And 40 years later, they’re still hoping for answers. Gosch firmly believes her son was the victim of an organized child sex trafficking ring, claiming he visited her one night in 1997 and told her he was abandoned by his captors as an adult, but had to live under an assumed identity for fear of his life — hence the title of her book. Noreen Gosch told the documentary filmmakers that while thousands of people canvassed the area searching for her son, nothing was organized by the police, and the FBI was never called as it remained their position that there was no crime. In March 1983, a 12-year-old boy matching Johnny’s description approached a woman leaving a store in Oklahoma. The boy said to her, “I’m John David Gosch . Please help me.” Two men came to the boy and led him away. Johnny Gosch , a 12-year-old paperboy, vanished in 1982, sparking one of America’s most chilling missing child cases. His whereabouts remain unknown.
