Faded Out

Who was Johnny Gosch and who were the depraved people who derailed his young life, plus an intro to the Missing Persons Support Center. Hosted by Sarah DiMeo.

This week we have an exclusive talk with David Beilinson, the director of "Who Took Johnny." We also walk through the timeline of events up until the moment that Johnny vanished. We delve deeper into police protocols at the time and talk with Mary Bell, match panel coordinator for The Doe Network.

We delve into the how and why the news media was essential in keeping Johnny's case alive for more than three decades. We're also asking who exactly was Paul Bonacci? Was he really in that car on the morning of Johnny's abduction, and what else has he been able to uncover?

The heinous acts of the Franklin Scandal are uncovered, and we learn about the connection to Johnny Gosch's case, through key figure Paul Bonacci. **Graphic Content**

We learn more about Temple of Set founder Lt. Col. Michael Aquino. Is he "The Colonel" who supposedly bought Johnny? We also hear some clips from a roughly made documentary America's MIA Children, which links together every angle of this case that we've talked about so far. **GRAPHIC CONTENT**

We hear more pieces from America's MIA Children, specifically from a psychiatrist and lawyer who had met with Paul Bonacci personally to assess the credibility of his claims. We'll also look into Bonacci's lawsuit against Lawrence King and how it would have a direct effect on the Johnny Gosch case.

Conversations with Della Williams and Tracy Pampena of the Missing Persons Support Center, director of 'Who Took Johnny' David Beilinson, and Mary Bell of The Doe Network on if it was really Johnny who visited Noreen in March 1997. Could it have been a scam artist? A dream? We also hear the most detailed account of the night in question.

A welcome to all of our new listeners who have joined us over the past couple weeks. Our first segment starts off with a call to action in Johnny's case, as well as a quick lesson in how to submit a potential match to the Doe Network. We also talk more about former FBI Special Agent-in-Charge Ted Gunderson, and how his involvement in this case causes some problems in terms of credibility.

We look deeper into the past of Lt. Col. Michael Aquino, the man alleged to have been the person who purchased Johnny from the pedophilia ring. We also talk about some of the misinformation that surrounds a 36 year old missing person case, and when a lead can take a wrong turn.

Fellow podcaster Mike Fallek joins Sarah to talk about a man who was arguably the first known child predator and murderer, a man who was also known as a hero who fought alongside Joan of Arc. The man is Gilles de Rais. We discuss the parallels between this case from the 15th century, and the Johnny Gosch case which originated on September 5, 1982. Unfortunately these crimes against the young and innocent are nothing new. Today we try to delve into the minds of these perpetrators.

An exclusive talk with Lite 100.5 WRCH's Joan Dylan, who offers us an insider's perspective on what daily life is like on an Indian reservation, and how likely it was that a grown Johnny Gosch was able to escape from the pedophile rings and lay low on a reservation - or several reservations - for years, well into his adulthood.

In 2006, an envelope containing shocking photos appeared on Noreen Gosch's doorstep. There was no explanation, and the person who left them has never been determined. In this episode, we talk about those pictures in detail, and the renewed interest in the Johnny Gosch case that was sparked as a result. **Content may be disturbing**

This week's episode is a whole new angle to the Johnny Gosch case which has never been publicized. It's a firsthand account from a man who worked as a paperboy for the Des Moines Register at the same time as Johnny. He names someone who he believes is responsible for Johnny's disappearance. Someone who has never been mentioned in the almost 36 years of Johnny being missing.

More of the brand new perspective in the Johnny Gosch case. We go back to 1982 with this new information, and explore another potential timeline of events.

We talk about a lesser known key figure in the very early stages of the Johnny Gosch case, helping to uncover potential new information that may shed light on unanswered questions. Also a look at two very different theories on what might have become of Johnny.

Special Extended Episode. We speak with Chris Birge, who was a neighbor of Johnny Gosch, and saw him just a few minutes before he was kidnapped. A major event in the police report and the timeline has been wrong this entire time. This is an eyewitness telling us where Johnny really was seen on the morning of September 5, 1982.

Walking you through the initial police report on the events that unfolded in the early morning hours just before Johnny Gosch disappeared. We pick apart what is credible vs. what may have been wrong for all these years. Also, we speak with Matt Seskis, the brother of eyewitness Mike Seskis.

Exploring the earliest newspaper articles following the day that Johnny Gosch disappeared. Part 1 of the early reports. Also today we squash the uncertainty surrounding Johnny's father, John Sr.

Continuing looking into the early newspaper articles in the first few years following Johnny's disappearance. Also a closer look on one individual who we touched on in previous episodes.

An exclusive talk with a close friend of John and Noreen Gosch - Ron Sampson, who has been with the search for Johnny since the very beginning, and was once the president of the Help Find Johnny Gosch foundation.

You will not find this anywhere else. An exclusive talk with John Gosch Sr., father of Johnny Gosch. Honest, eye-opening accounts of the events of the morning of Sept. 5, 1982, and the credibility of the supposed accomplice in the abduction, Paul Bonacci.

Talking about the intention of this podcast, and where do we go from here. Also another look at Paul Bonacci and asking the tough questions on if his account of being involved in Johnny's abduction is really so credible after all.

An exclusive talk with "Yellow Bag," and his thoughts on a former Des Moines Register circulation manager Wilbur Millhouse.

We learn more about Wilbur Millhouse from a former co-worker at the Des Moines Register, as well as Yellow Bag's mother. Also, a follow up with John Gosch Sr.

The first of six episodes on the ground in Des Moines. We visit Johnny's old neighborhood, and the corner of 42nd and Marcourt. Also the first in-person meeting with Ron Sampson and Mark Hinshaw.

Sarah and Mark tour the area and potential getaway routes surrounding 42nd and Marcourt and the old Gosch house.

A trip to the library to search through old microfilm. And then an unannounced trip over to Sam Soda's house.

Sarah and Mark sit down with Sam Soda at his house.

Following the meeting with Sam Soda, Sarah and Mark immediately meet up with Ron Sampson and Mark discovers more newspaper articles on Wilbur Millhouse.

Sarah DiMeo sits down alongside co-producer Jason Pinette as they wrap up this first season of Faded Out, covering the Johnny Gosch disappearance case from 1982. Points discussed include how Sarah's perception of the case has changed between Episode 1 and Episode 31, the vastly different response from each of Johnny's parents, the Des Moines episodes, and where we go from here.

An update on the events that have followed since the first season finale one month ago.

The second addendum to Season One of Faded Out. This time there are more revelations to be made about the morning that Johnny Gosch disappeared, how the case will move forward from here, and more about Sam Soda.
