The Franklin Files

JOHNNY GOSCH, KIDNAPPED CHILD, CONNECTION TO FRANKLIN CASE-- In 1989, Paul Bonacci confessed to his attorney, John De Camp, his part in the kidnapping of 12-year-old Johnny Gosch on September 5, 1982, in West De Moines, Iowa, a highly publicized missing child case. Paul Bonacci was 14, almost 15, years old at the time. Rusty Nelson also testified in U.S. District Court, Omaha Nebraska, on February 5, 1999, that one of the victims in the Franklin case was Johnny Gosch.Noreen N. Gosch, Johnny’s mother, received almost no assistance from the local West De Moines police or the FBI in investigating her case. She held a press conference and received her first death threats. One male telephone caller said, "Stop making waves or you will die". Noreen Gosch now realizes she had begun "knocking on the door" of the Franklin satanic cult/sex/drug ring case.Noreen Gosch obtained private investigator Dennis Whalen who had solved a missing child case in Carter Lake, Iowa. While investigating the Gosch case, Whalen told Noreen Gosch of a slave auction in Houston, Texas. He asked her "Would you go ,000 to buy your son back, if he goes across the auction block?" Noreen Gosch borrowed the funds. Unfortunately, Whalen informed Noreen Gosch that Johnny was not at the Texas auction. Whalen was discovered as helping Noreen Gosch and was forbidden from attending other auctions.Noreen Gosch reports that within six months of Johnny’s kidnapping, a young man named Paul Bishop contacted her. He came to Des Moines and identified himself as CIA. He told Noreen that an international kidnapping/pornography ring kidnapped Johnny. He told her Johnny was still alive and being sexually used in pornography, prostitution, and perversion. He said he wanted Noreen’s help. Noreen Gosch replied, "How can I help you, what does the CIA want with me?" He replied, "We need one stable parent in this situation, to act, when directed to speak out to the public as to what happened to your son."Noreen Gosch doubted who he was. To convince her, he produced a complete dossier of her entire family including those who have died. She was given a code name of "Firefox" for him and a phone number to contact him. She learned that Bishop’s location was Langley Air Force Base, CIA Headquarters.Paul Bishop arranged for Noreen Gosch to testify in August 1984, at the "Organized Crime Senate Hearings" in Washington, D.C., before Senator Specter. Books were made available by the FBI showing children in a Sears Roebuck type of catalog offering children for sale.Noreen Gosch reports Paul Bishop eventually vanished without a trace. Suddenly the phone number was no good.Noreen Gosch reports that it was to be years before she learned that the CIA was part of the International kidnapping and pornography ring. She and others have attempted to obtain copies of the catalog of children for sale and, "There has never been a single reply to any request to produce this document". She also attempted to obtain from the Washington Press Core photographs from the hearing, also with no success. Noreen Gosch reports that Paul Bishop was in his early 20’s and called her, "Mom". She now wonders if he was one of the "lost" children.Noreen Gosch founded "The Johnny Gosch Foundation", a month after the kidnapping and developed a program called "In Defense of Children". Noreen Gosch wrote the "Johnny Gosch bill", which was passed into law in Iowa on July 1, 1984. A year later, Missouri as well as seven other states adopted the bill and passed it into law. This law, which is still called "The Johnny Gosch Law", provides the immediate involvement of police when a child is missing, instead of the previous 72 hour policy of waiting.Terry Dunn Meurer, with Dave Bell Associates at that time, and now with "Unsolved Mysteries" produced a documentary called "MISSING", which included the story about Johnny and three other children who were missing. Some of these children were found dead and the others are still missing. That documentary was aired in 1983 on HBO.NOREEN GOSCH AND PAUL BONACCI MEET--
