The Disappearance of Johnny Gosch | The Search Podcast Ep. 8
On a quiet Sunday morning in 1982, 12-year-old paperboy Johnny Gosch left his home in West Des Moines, Iowa—and never returned. His disappearance shocked the nation, launched one of America’s first milk carton missing child campaigns, and still leaves more questions than answers over 40 years later.
In this episode of The Search, we trace the morning Johnny vanished, the desperate search that followed, and the rumors that spiraled into theories of organized crime, trafficking rings, and government cover-ups. Most of all, we explore how his mother, Noreen Gosch, became a relentless voice for missing children and why Johnny’s story still haunts America today.
The Search is presented by Dave’s Hot Chicken. New episodes every Monday.
