Stephens was cited as the leading child finder in the nation, in an article in the 1991 summer supplement to Forbes magazine: "The best in the business in that field, according to a survey of his peers, is Roy Stephens ... who has recovered some 50 missing children over the last five-and-a-half years," said G. Gordon Liddy of Watergate fame, now a private security consultant in Florida.

Stephens spent hundreds of hours debriefing Bonacci in Prison, and many more on the road in Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado and Minnesota, visiting the sites and tracking down the people Bonacci told him about. Quoted in the July 22, 1991 World-Herald, Stephens said that Bonacci "hasn't told me anything that hasn't been true."

Bonacci described to Stephens the kidnapping of Johnny Gosch, as an eyewitness:

PB: Well, we got up at, oh, before the sun got up. He [Emilio] said he wanted to go out cause he said that he had been around here before and stuff and he said that paper boys would be going out pretty soon. He said he might be able to, that that would be the best bet. He wanted them, because he said they were easier on mornings cause there was nobody else around. Everyone else is asleep. ...

RS: O.K., so it was just you, Mike and Emilio. And you were in his blue car, the blue Chevy. O.K., then what happened?

PB: Oh, then he, well, at first he had US, they had Mike was in the back seat and he was kind of covered up with a blanket. ... Me I was stuck in the trunk. Because I had said something and Emilio hit me a couple of times.

RS: What did you say?

PB: Called him a dirty bastard because of the way he treated Mike. ... At night when we was in the hotel and stuff he'd brought some other guy and made Mike have sex with that guy. I didn't think that was right. ...

RS: O.K., so you're in the trunk and Mike is on the floor or on the back seat covered with a blanket, and what [happened]?

PB: And then I heard them talking to somebody else at the car, but I don't know who it was cause we stopped. He was talking to somebody asking for directions; asking where some place was. And it sounded like there was more than one kid. It sounded like there was a couple of them there. And then we went around the block and he let me out of the trunk and told Mike to, he says, if you don't do what 1 say, I'm gonna shoot you. He has a gun he pulled out and pointed at me and says, you do what I say or I'll shoot you. We drove around. ...

RS: So you're out of the trunk now?

PB: Yeah. I was sitting in the back seat with Mike.

RS: You're both sitting there? Were you hidden in the back seat or were you just sitting up normal?

PB: Down low, kind of sitting on the floor. And then Emilio, I guess, I don't know what he did, but he, Mike told me, he says, when the car slows down, he says, when you feel the brakes jerk, he says, I'll grab him and you just hold him down. And so it happened quick. It's like we went up, I felt the brakes jerk, and I saw the door fly open and I saw Mike jump out and the next thing I know there was somebody, you know, he grabbed the boy and he'd thrown him in and my job, you know we were supposed to do is just hold him down and gag his mouth so he couldn't yell or nothing. And then after we had, just, like two seconds, just spun off, tore off, got out of there.

Two other people were involved in the kidnapping, one of whom was a local contact. Bonacci named them all. According to a July 18 article in the Des Moines Register, "Stephens has told the family, sources say, that [Bonacci] identified the Des Moines 'contact' from a photograph. The suspected contact, said [Noreen] Gosch, has been under suspicion by the family for some time." Furthermore, "Gosch said Stephens told her the same ring may be involved in other kidnappings in the region, including the suspected abduction of Des Moines Register carrier Eugene Martin, 13, in south Des Moines in 1984, and more recently, that of Jacob Wetterling in St. Joseph, Minn."

Bonacci described a network of safehouses, where the pedophile ring stored kidnapped children before selling them. He said he met Johnny Gosch again several years later, and provided a detailed description of the farm on which Gosch was being kept in Colorado and of Gosch's new "parents," a homosexual man and a lesbian in their thirties. After Gosch once attempted to run away, Bonacci reported, they branded him on the buttocks with the same brand used on horses and cows on the farm, of which Bonacci drew a picture for Roy Stephens.

The man called Emilio was part of a highly organized national and international kidnapping ring. Stephens asked Bonacci, "What did Emilio tell you that he did for a living?"

PB: Kidnap kids and took them to Las Vegas.

RS: What kind of kids?

PB: Any kid that he could get.

RS: Does it matter if it's male or female?

PB: Him, no, him he'd kidnap boys or girls. Main thing he'd kidnap was boys, though, cause he said he'd get more money for them. Emilio used to tell me all kinds of things like how they could get away with kidnapping kids and sell them out of the country. He said most of the kids were sold in Las Vegas at a ranch he took me to one time for an auction. I went with him to Toronto several times where boys were sold. I saw a few girls once in a while. He said virgins could bring as much as $50,000. They called the boys toys, used toys brought in money but not as much. ... Most boys were sold out of America cause it's harder to find them. The men who bought them had planes and could transport them easily.

Bonacci ran into Emilio again in March 1986, near Buena Vista, Colorado, on the second occasion he saw Johnny Gosch.

Despite the astonishing new information from Paul Bonacci on the Gosch kidnaping, West Des Moines police "have not interviewed Bonacci and have no plans to do so," according to the July 21, 1991 Des Moines Sunday Register. "We are aware of what's going on," said Lt. Gerry Scott, in charge of the Gosch investigation. "We're not going to reinvent the wheel. This has been investigated in Nebraska. When things need investigating, here, they will be investigated."

Every law enforcement entity in the country, including those in Iowa and the FBI, will not bother to interview Paul Bonacci because he is not considered a credible source of information for anything. I imagine law enforcement does not want to waste time and sources interviewing someone with a severe mental illness like DID who has already been discredited in court, and furthermore be compelled to investigate the things he says when law enforcement feels absolutely zero confidence in whatever information he provides. Now, one can look at this two ways, the first which I can elaborate.

The police have a job to do and only so many resources to do it. Paul Bonacci had already testified to these sorts of allegations to a grand jury and those people in court eventually reached the conclusion that this was a hoax. The Franklin conspiracy theorists and supporters rarely mention these days about how seemingly everyone of stature in Omaha was called a pedophile in court by these teenagers - not just the single handful that are mentioned today. A lot more - look it up and find the original newspaper articles. Because those allegations of sadistic, ritualistic child sex abuse at parties and drug running had no actual merit, the grand jury decided people like Paul Bonacci and Alisha Owen were liars. The debate as to whether they were offered incentives by certain people to puff up these stories remains open for debate, but this belongs in a separate thread. Individuals like Alisha were sentenced to prison not just for perjury, but for being held to task by the court for making allegations that were deemed false along with having been perceived as ruining the reputations of people the court determined had nothing to do with this raping children. Obviously that's an extremely grave allegation to make in court and to the FBI about important and well-known people. Paul was also convicted of perjury. There is no mystery why those like Alisha served years in prison for it and others like Troy Boner twice bailed on testifying to the veracity of these allegations otherwise. He never stood up in court to say they happened.

Now, why would the West Des Moines Police Department invite Paul Bonacci to be interviewed at this point? They're not going to and by all means they have no reason to. He is not credible and the Franklin child abuse allegations and the investigating grand jury is exactly the reason why.

The other possibility would have to be that the WDPD is in on a federal-level cover-up, and this is when one crawls into conspiracy theory territory where anything is possible.
