Late Night Confession #87
Earlier tonight I read through the facts again of the Johnny Gosch kidnapping case from the early 1980s. Gosch was a 12-year-old Iowa boy (who was the 2nd person to be featured on the backs of milk cartons) who was kidnapped and possibly enslaved.
The case was never solved but Gosch’s mother said that Johnny showed up on her doorstep one night in 1997. He told her that he had changed his identity and was hiding from the men who had kidnapped him and sold him for sex. After staying for a few hours, he disappear again forever. Well, I read about this case and for about five minutes I had an unbearable urge to lock all the doors and hide forever, a fear I only used to feel when I watched that TV series Unsolved Mysteries when I was younger.
I only share this now to inform you that the boogie man is out there.
