The Franklin Files

Yes, interesting posts.  These were from "cppweb" on WebSleuths, posted between December 2004 and April 2005.  Were they from Jimmy Gibson?  They sounded like him in terms of content, style, and wording.  I asked him once and he claimed they were not him, but he had an idea of who probably posted them.

The issue of who's the "real Jimmy" seems to be a recurrent theme, greatly affecting a lot of what this case is based on.

Why is it that Jim Rothstein, Noreen, and now Jimmy, seem to all be on the same page with this at the moment?


Kevin:  Jimmy has made comments about cutting off contact with Johnny, saying he was "a frickin' dork."  All that business about him being the designated spokesman for the "kidz" sounds rather self-serving and contrived.  What motives does Jimmy have for doing what he's doing?

Noreen:  I don't know what Jimmy's motives might be, but all the "kidz" liked to play games to an extent.  The only exception to that being Paul, who is a straight shooter.  He never once tried to BS me.  If Johnny / Jimmy are playing games, they will soon find out, if they don't know already, that I do not play games.  I will listen to what they have to say, but do not buy everything I hear.  I have been at this too long to do that.  We will have to wait, I guess, to see what their next move might be.

Kevin:  Have you, LJG, or the Foundation ever given Jimmy substantial sums of money?  In 1993, he would have been coming out of the marines.  2003-2005 was about the time his ISP business in Wisconsin went bust. 

Noreen:  I never gave Jimmy any money.  I don't know if LJG did or not, but I doubt it, because he was rather "tight" with his money. The real Jimmy Gibson is in prison for trafficking cocaine.  The one who has been circling FF.net is not him.  The impersonator knows a lot about the case, like he had been there.

Kevin:  If there are a couple of people pretending to be "Jimmy", then they are seeing the same e-mails between us, and there is continuity.  My contact with him my Yahoo Messenger has been through the same account. 

Obviously I've never met him, but Paul thought he recognized him from that wild-eyed photo of him in a T-shirt saying "I hate everyone!"  He recognized the eyes, but said he must have put on a lot of weight and grown long hair.

Noreen:   That photo is Jimmy.  I have met him and can identify him.   His hairstyle and weight definitely changed, but it is him. Canadian Jimmy Dean Gibson, in prison for the cocaine smuggling, isn’t related to Richard G. Gibson.  James Alaxandar Corey Gibson from Wisconsin is.  

The internet is an interesting place, you can be anyone at any time.  The person impersonating Jimmy knows his way around for certain.   He has been pulling a lot of jokes on people - tricks and games.

Kevin:  Could this be Jimmy and Johnny trading places?  I think Jimmy might like us to believe that, but you're the only one that has any idea what Johnny was like at 12.  Now he'd be about 40.

Only you really know about the 1997 midnight visit.  If Paul, Alisha, Rusty, Danny King, and Starcon all surfaced, only you can really come up with a reason why Johnny wouldn't let you know he was okay, but didn't want to come back.

Noreen:  Bingo...  that is what I think has happened.  Unless there is another one of the kidz who is knowledgable enough to pull this off.    But the real Jimmy is in prison.  

 

A lot of people have views of what Johnny might or might not do.  The truth is no one knows .   He is changed by what has happened to him.   During the time of Bonacci's and Alisha's activity in the network, neither of them were kidnapped and taken away from any and all things familiar.    That makes his situation different and unique that the others cannot speak to.   I do not know about Starcon and where he was taken away or not, I know he was a resident of Boys Town, so King and his cronies would consider him to be "expendable".   They liked to use disposable kids.

Everyone does have a different view of justice. However, the wheels of justice are slow.    I do not think embarrassing these people, or living well despite what they did to people, is going to affect them at all.   The only thing they can understand is to be jailed and let the inmates do what they do to "child molesters".    And the enactment of the death penalty.   I strongly believe in that as a deterrent in these cases.  We have so many murderers bring their victims into Iowa to kill them... and when caught, they say "I killed him/her in Iowa because there is no death penalty".   So the criminals know the laws very well.  They are cunning and should be eliminated.   I have testified before House/Senate many times in favor of the death penalty when it was up for vote.   We only lost by a very slim margin a couple years ago.   If I could have gotten that one passed..... families who lost their children would "thank me".    No other parent had guts enough to stand up and demand the death penalty. I stood alone, but am glad I did.   At least my son, if he is alive, knows that I really did try to make changes, and did in many other areas.  Johnny's case will long be remembered due to the changes which have been made in legislation because of him. 

Kevin:  Anybody could send a picture or two of Wisconsin Jimmy, who wasn't shown on camera in AMW, that’s true.  But unless more than one person has access to WI Jimmy’s “Dan Olson" e-mail account, then I don’t see how they can intercept my correspondence and Yahoo chats with him.   Whoever I’ve been talking with,  he’s been pretty consistent in style, vocabulary, story, etc.

 

Now, was the boy that Richard G. Gibson saw really Johnny?  I don’t know, nor do I know what he’s told you.

 

Are Jimmy, Gene, and Johnny just playing around at your expense, I don’t know.  I have no idea if Gene and Johnny are still alive.  What would be their motive  for doing what they do?

 

I would think it would be a fairly simple matter for Jim Rothstein to call in some favors and get a look-see at Wisconsin Jimmy’s driver’s license, and contact the Prisoner No. I found in the letter above, and get a look at the  inmate photo of Canadian Jimmy.  I’ll bet John DeCamp could, too
