1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,439 Speaker 1: This week's episode deals with disturbing themes of child sexual assault. 2 00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:20,280 Speaker 1: Parental discretion is advised. You're listening to part two of Unexplained, 3 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:25,279 Speaker 1: Season six, episode twenty five. Once There was a Way. 4 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: It was seven fifteen on the morning of Sunday, August twelfth, 5 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,480 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four, when Don Martin received a call at 6 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: his home on Frasier Street in southern Des Moines from 7 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: the route manager of his son Eugene's paper round. The 8 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: manager wanted to know if the thirteen year old Eugene 9 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: was at home, but Don didn't understand. Eugene Orgeanne as 10 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: his family called him, wasn't due back from his root 11 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: for another half hour or so. But that's just the thing, 12 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:10,839 Speaker 1: explained the manager. He wasn't on his route. His papers 13 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: were still on the sidewalk, all stacked up, waiting to 14 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: be taken away for delivery. Strangely, he added, Eugene's bag 15 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: was next to it, with ten of the papers already 16 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: tucked inside, but there was no sign of Eugene. Don 17 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: felt his mouth go a little dry. As a Des 18 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: Moines resident, he knew all too well about the story 19 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: of the young missing newspaper deliverer. Johnny Gosh, doing his 20 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: best to ignore the rising, sickening feeling in his stomach, 21 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: He assured the manager that his son would be back 22 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: soon to finish the job. But thirty minutes later and 23 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: Eugene's bag and stack of papers was still out on 24 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: the sidewalk, while Eugene was nowhere to be found. Frasier Street, 25 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: where Eugene lived with his father Dawn and stepmother Sue, 26 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: was barely a ten minute walk from the corner of 27 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: Southwest fourteenth and high View Drive, where his papers were located. 28 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: There was just no way he would have disappeared without 29 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 1: telling anyone, and if he had gone home for any reason, 30 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: he would have showed up by then. Deep down, Dawn 31 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: knew something terrible had happened. By midday, the Des Moines 32 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: Police were notified that yet another Des Moines Register paper 33 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: carrier was missing, and in circumstances all too familiar for 34 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: everybody's comfort. This time, however, in light of the Johnny 35 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 1: Gosh case, the Des Moines Police immediately sprang into action 36 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: on the assumption that Eugene was not simply missing, but 37 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: had been the victim of a crime. Statements quickly gathered 38 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: from Eugene's fellow carriers only served to exacerbate their worst fears. 39 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: Like Johnny Gosh, Eugene had been seen talking to an 40 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: unknown man shortly before he disappeared. The man was described 41 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: as being somewhere between thirty to forty years old, between 42 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: five ft nine and six feet tall, and being clean 43 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: shaven with a generally neat appearance. Eugene was said to 44 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 1: have spoken to the man sometime around five twenty am, 45 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: when it was still dark. Some said the man appeared 46 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: to be the owner of a green Chevrolet Malibu, Others 47 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: that he had put his arms on Eugene at one point, 48 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: while some said that the two had conversed in a 49 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: cordial manner, almost as though they knew each other. For 50 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: a city still reeling from the mystery of what happened 51 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: to Johnny Gosh, it wasn't long before most people heard 52 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: the news about Eugene Martin two. By Sunday afternoon, Des 53 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: Moines police had been joined by over a hundred volunteers 54 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: in their search for Eugene, while all emergency service personnel 55 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: were instructed to look out for him too. Even officers 56 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 1: who were otherwise engaged used any spare time between callouts 57 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: to aid in the search, friends were contacted and any 58 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: favorite hangouts checked and double checked, while every street in 59 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: the surrounding area was searched over and over again, and 60 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: so too was Denman Woods, water Work Park and Gray's Lake. 61 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 1: But by the end of that first day the search 62 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: had yielded nothing. On Monday, a man came forward claiming 63 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: to have seen a young boy on the Sunday afternoon 64 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: who looked just like Eugene, riding in the back of 65 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: a car close to Southwest fourteenth and Indianola Avenue, not 66 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: far from where Eugene was last seen, who looked to 67 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: have been beaten around the face, but without any details 68 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: of the car, the sighting was useless. Before long, one 69 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: day of Eugene missing turned into two and then three. 70 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 1: The Friday after Eugene's disappearance was his fourteenth birthday. For 71 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: Eugene's parents, Don and Janice, who lived on the other 72 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: side of town, it was the loneliest of days. After 73 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: another two weeks of looking, with police by then working 74 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: alongside some of the FBI's finest, neither Eugene nor any 75 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 1: substantial clue as to where he'd gone had been found 76 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: On August twenty eighth, volunteers who continued looking for him 77 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 1: every day, numbering in their hundreds at the weekend, were 78 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 1: politely asked to stand down. Just as it was with 79 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 1: Johnny Gosh, a fund had been set up buffering money 80 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: in exchange for information leading to Eugene's whereabouts, but also 81 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: as it was for Johnny, despite growing to almost a 82 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars in size, no one was able to 83 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: provide the relevant information. In October, a man contacted police 84 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 1: to say he'd seen someone carrying a limp looking body, 85 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: possibly that of a teenage boy, under a bridge on 86 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: Highway to The bridge runs from east to west about 87 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: forty miles south of Des Moines and is located about 88 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: a mile away from a well known fishing shack. However, 89 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: the area was thoroughly searched and nothing was found. When 90 00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: self described psychic Evelyn Quick later claim aim she had 91 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: a vision of Eugene's body near a body of water 92 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 1: and some kind of shack, police return to the bridge 93 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: to search the area for a second time, but again 94 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: they found no evidence that Eugene or the body of 95 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: any other person had been dumped there.

It was another devastating blow Despite 116 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 1: all they'd done to alert local authorities to the danger 117 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: of child abduction, it had seemingly happened all over again. 118 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: That Eugene had disappeared under such similar circumstances For Noreen 119 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: at least, was further evidence too that a shadowy child 120 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: abuse ring was actively snatching children from America's streets. Though 121 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: not everyone was willing to agree, it was hard to 122 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: ignore the growing sense among many Americans that there was 123 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: something rotten at the core of their country that seemed 124 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:27,359 Speaker 1: to be getting worse by the day. In nineteen seventy nine, 125 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: six year old Eton Pats went missing as he walked 126 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: to his school bus stop in Lower Manhattan. The boy 127 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 1: was never seen again. Then, in July nineteen eighty one, 128 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,319 Speaker 1: six year old Adam Walsh went missing from a shopping 129 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: mall in Hollywood, Florida. Adams severed head was found in 130 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: a drainage canal two weeks later. The rest of his 131 00:09:54,840 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: body has never been located. With Johnny Gosh and then 132 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: Eugene Martin to add to that list, a stranger danger 133 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: panic began to take hold. People started to wander if 134 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: it was safe to let their children out at night 135 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: at all. For then President Ronald Reagan and his advocates 136 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: it was all the fault of a vulgar social liberalism 137 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: that had been steadily creeping into American society. In a 138 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: reelection campaign speech delivered in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in late 139 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 1: September nineteen eighty four, President Reagan even name checked both 140 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: Johnny Gosh and Eugene Martin. Reagan promised to be tough 141 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: on crime and to uphold the key American tenets of family, neighborhood, 142 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: and good hard work, as if everyone from any political 143 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: spectrum didn't already hold those dear Some decried the crimes 144 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: as marking an irreversal loss of innocence for the nation, 145 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: while executive editor of the Des Moines Register James Gannon 146 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: saw Johnny and Eugene's potential kidnapping as the inevitable consequence 147 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 1: of a general softening on a crime which, according to him, 148 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: was threatening to turn the safe and sane heartland of 149 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: Middle America into Detroit or Chicago. For Norain Gosh, she 150 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: was mostly just happy that the President had picked up 151 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: on her son's case earlier in the year, thanks to 152 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: the work of Adam Walsh's parents and in part to 153 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 1: the Gosh's tireless campaigning to keep Johnny's case in the news. 154 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: In June nineteen eighty four, the National Center for Missing 155 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: and Exploited Children was set up. Then in September, a 156 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: campaign to have the profiles of missing children displayed on 157 00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: milk cartons was launched. Johnny Gosh and Huge Jean Martin 158 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: were the first of what would become known as the 159 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: Missing Milk Carton Kids, but by the end of that year, 160 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: no further news of their whereabouts had come to light. 161 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: It was late one night in nineteen eighty five when 162 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,119 Speaker 1: a woman called the Gosh family home with an incredible 163 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: story to tell. The woman had been visiting a grocery 164 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: store in Sioux City, Iowa, about a three hour drive 165 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: west of Des Moines, where she received a dollar bill 166 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 1: in her change with something scrawled over it in penn. 167 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: Looking closer, she nearly dropped her bag of groceries when 168 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: she saw what it said. Written and capital letters were 169 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: the words I'm alive, and underneath that was the scribbled 170 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 1: signature of Johnny go Noreen claimed to have had three 171 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: handwriting experts analyzed the note, with all three confirming it 172 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: as a match for Johnny. It offered nothing in the 173 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: way of clues to find the boy, but it was 174 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 1: enough of a sliver of hope for Noreen and john 175 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: to hang on to. Then, in July nineteen eighty five 176 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 1: something even more incredible. While out publicizing Johnny's case in 177 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: Kansas City, Noreen was approached by a burly looking man 178 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: who introduced himself as Samuel Forbes Dakota. The man claimed 179 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 1: to know exactly what had happened to her son and 180 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: promised to write it all down in a letter for 181 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: her in the next few weeks. Sure enough, on August ninth, 182 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: the letter arrived at the Gosh family home in it. 183 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: Dakota claimed that for the past years he'd been a 184 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: member of the Hell's Angels motorcycle gang, who in that 185 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: time had been tasked with keeping watch over two hundred 186 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 1: children that the gang had helped to kidnap for all 187 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 1: manner of people, and one of those children was known 188 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: to him as Johnny Gosh. Dakota even gave the names 189 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: of several other people who'd been involved in the boys kidnapping. 190 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: But more than that, Johnny, he said, was alive and 191 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: was being kept as a pet by a high level 192 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 1: drug dealer in Mexico City, and if Noreen and John 193 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: paid him a hundred and eleven thousand dollars, he would 194 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: personally go down there and rescue him. The letter also 195 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: came with a warning that, in no uncertain terms, should 196 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: the Goshes involve the police and the matter, or else 197 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: he would vanish and take his secret with him. Feeling 198 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 1: they had little choice, the increasingly desperate Goshes agreed to 199 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: wire the man eleven thousand dollars immediately and promised to 200 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: pay another hundred if he managed to succeed in rescuing 201 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: their son. A few days later, they received the devastating 202 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: news from Dakota that his rescue effort had been unsuccessful, 203 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: and then he disappeared after finally informing the police about 204 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: the situation. A few days after that, Dakota was tracked 205 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: down to a motel in Ontario by the FBI. As 206 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: it turned out, he wasn't a Hell's Angel at all, 207 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 1: but a man named Robert Herman Meyer the Second from 208 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: Saganaw in Michigan. After his arrest, Maya pled guilty to 209 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: two counts of wire fraud and was sentenced to three 210 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: years in prison On August seventeenth, nineteen eighty five, Eugene 211 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: Martin's family gathered together for what was the second birthday 212 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: in his absence. As painful as it was, they even 213 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: baked a cake for him, which they placed in the freezer, 214 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: ready to throw it out the moment he walked through 215 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: the door. But the moment never comes. Much like the 216 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: Gosh family, they too, grew angry and frustrated at the 217 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: police's inability to find even the faintest clue as to 218 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: Eugene's whereabouts. The police could only reiterate that they were 219 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: doing everything they could. Then, in March the following year, 220 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: improbably it happened again. Thirteen year old Mark Allen lived 221 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: with his mother, Nancy, on Emma Avenue in southern Des Moines, 222 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 1: barely a three minute drive from where Eugene was last seen. 223 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 1: In the evening of March twenty ninth, nineteen eighty six, 224 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: Nancy was making pizza for her two other children when 225 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: Mark stepped out to meet up with some friends, asking 226 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: her to save him some for when he got back. 227 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 1: Nancy remembered waving him off, then watching him disappear past 228 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: some bushes a little further down the road and That 229 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: was the last she ever saw of him. It wasn't 230 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 1: until the following morning that Nancy realized her son had 231 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: not come home. She thought he'd most likely gone to 232 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: stay with his grandmother, who he was known to be 233 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: close with, but she hadn't seen him. More worryingly, he 234 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,239 Speaker 1: never even made it to the friends he said he 235 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: was going to see the night before. His father and 236 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: mother in law, who lived in Connecticut, hadn't heard from 237 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:04,640 Speaker 1: him either. Unlike Eugene Martin, however, Mark Allen was seen 238 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: as a problem child who had a history of so 239 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: called behavioral difficulties, which likely stemmed from his unsettled upbringing, 240 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 1: of which he had absolutely no control. Raised by his 241 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,120 Speaker 1: maternal grandmother from the age of seven months to four 242 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: and a half, he was eventually allowed to move back 243 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: with his mother in Des Moines, where he stayed until 244 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: he was ten before moving again to live with his 245 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: father in Minneapolis. Then in January nineteen eighty five, he 246 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: moved back to Des Moines to live with his mother 247 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:45,439 Speaker 1: for those reasons. Despite Nancy's please to the contrary, many 248 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: in the police took the view that her son had 249 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: most likely just run away. For many others, However, the 250 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: press included the simple fact remained here was a third 251 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: child from Des Moines, last seen only minutes away from 252 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 1: Eugene Martin's last known whereabouts, who was now also missing. 253 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: It was sometime in early nineteen eighty eight, almost six 254 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: years since Johnny Gosh's disappearance, four since Eugene Martin and 255 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: eighteen months after Mark Allen's, when Nebraska law enforcement officials 256 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: were alerted to an audit conducted on the personal taxes 257 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: of a man named Lawrence E. King. King, the chief 258 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 1: executive of the Franklin Credit Union in Omaha, Nebraska, some 259 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty miles west of Des Moines, had 260 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 1: an official annual salary of just over sixteen thousand dollars, 261 00:19:55,160 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: something which seemed to conflict with his rather openly lavish lifestyle. 262 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,439 Speaker 1: Known for his flamboyant dress sense and adorning himself with 263 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: expensive jewelry, King also owned a seventy thousand dollar Mercedes, 264 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: as well as a four story house with twenty six 265 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 1: acres of land overlooking the Missouri River. He also thought 266 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,159 Speaker 1: nothing of spending ten thousand dollars a month on his 267 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: own private limousine, and in one particularly outlandish thirteen month 268 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: period managed to spend one hundred and fifty thousand dollars 269 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: on flowers alone, a popular expense euphemism in the music industry, 270 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: at least for drugs. King was an active member of 271 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: the Republican Party and a well respected member of the 272 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: local community who'd at one time been the Business committee 273 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 1: chairman of the National Black Republican Council. The self made King, 274 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,439 Speaker 1: who preached to pull yourself up by the bootstraps philosophy, 275 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: often made charged donations to charitable causes, and had been 276 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 1: celebrated for his unparalleled ability to persuade numerous charities and 277 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: nonprofits to deposit money at his Franklin Credit Union, which 278 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: served a largely low income client base in North Omaha. 279 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,360 Speaker 1: In truth, however, it appeared that King was quite likely 280 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 1: siphoning money from the union for himself. But just as 281 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: police were preparing to investigate King, something else came to light. 282 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: In June nineteen eighty eight, a social worker who worked 283 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 1: at a psychiatric hospital in Omaha made an astonishing accusation 284 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: to the Nebraska Foster Care Review Board. He claimed that 285 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: he had good reason to believe that a child prostitution 286 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: ring was actively operating in Nebraska, and at the center 287 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: of it all was Lawrence E. King. In November nineteen 288 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: eighty eight, FBI agents stormed the Franklin Community Building in 289 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: Omaha and closed it down, and Lawrence King was arrested 290 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 1: and accused of embezzling millions of dollars from the credit union. However, 291 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:31,679 Speaker 1: while King's arrest for potential corruption made headline news, the 292 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:36,399 Speaker 1: other accusation, perhaps due to its largely spurious nature and 293 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 1: lack of evidence, remained a secret. That was until the 294 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 1: following month, when, during an executive board meeting of the 295 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: state legislature in Lincoln, Nebraska, state Senator Ernie Chambers made 296 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: the public announcement that King had also been accused of 297 00:22:55,520 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 1: facilitating countless incidences of child abuse. Chambers went on to 298 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 1: say that he believed the accusations to be just the 299 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: tip of the iceberg, and that in time, many other 300 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 1: public figures would be outed for their involvement in it too. 301 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 1: In response, the FBI were forced to reveal that they 302 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: had also been informed at the accusation and were looking 303 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: into it as part of their ongoing investigation into King's 304 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: alleged fraudulent activities. While the Nebraska Attorney General revealed it 305 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 1: was also aware of the accusation and had instructed the 306 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: state police to investigate it. A state government committee was 307 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: set up to carry out its own investigation into how 308 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: the Franklin credit union had collapsed, headed by Republican state 309 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 1: Senator Lauren Schmidt. However, with some in the state government, 310 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: Schmidt included, having appeared to have already made up their 311 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: mind about the abuse seleegations, the Franklin Committee, as it 312 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 1: came to be known, also doubled up as a secondary 313 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:11,880 Speaker 1: investigation into those two. The committees soon came to loggerheads 314 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: about how best to proceed, with Kirk Nayla, the lawyer 315 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: tasked with overseeing all legal implications, especially apprehensive about legitimizing 316 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: the abuse accusations. In the end, Nayla decided to stand down, 317 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:34,400 Speaker 1: after which the committee appointed a private investigator, Gary Karadori, 318 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: to find the cold, hard evidence to back up the accusations. 319 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: Over the next few weeks, Karadori claimed to have uncovered 320 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: sixty potential survivors of the abuse and had recorded over 321 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: twenty one hours of testimony from a handful of them. 322 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: In late December, these tapes were handed over to the 323 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:02,919 Speaker 1: Nebraska Attorney General's Office, the FBI, and the Douglas County 324 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: Sheriff's office where Omaha is located. A teen solo hiker 325 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: who was terrorized for days by unknown figures dressed in white. 326 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 1: Two cops who quit their job at a local theater 327 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: because of unexplained encounters with an alleged demon. An isolated 328 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: forest in Canada where people keep turning up headless. These 329 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: are just some of the strange, dark and mysterious stories 330 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 1: you'll hear each week on the Mister Balland podcast. In 331 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: each episode, Mister Balland shares real life haunting accounts, like 332 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: the case of Hailey Zeger, who disappeared from a hiking 333 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: trail for fifty one hours. When search and rescuers finally 334 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: found her and asked how she survived, she said simply 335 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: that a friend helped her. She described his friend as 336 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 1: four years old with black hair and brown eyes. This 337 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 1: friend was initially dismissed until they realized that a girl 338 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 1: had gone missing in that exact spot twenty three years 339 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: earlier and was never found. She was four years old 340 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: with black hair and brown eyes. Hey Prime members listened 341 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: to the Amazon Music exclusive podcast missed the ball In 342 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: podcast Strange, Dark and Mysterious Stories. Download the app to day. 343 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: Former Nebraska State Senator John DeCamp was among the most 344 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 1: vocal supporters of those willing to go on record to 345 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: accuse King of his involvement in the alleged child prostitution ring. 346 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 1: DeCamp was adamant that the accusations were true, and pender 347 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: letter to the Omaha World Herald newspaper listing the names 348 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 1: of four other prominent and powerful men who had been 349 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,120 Speaker 1: accused along with King, of taking part in the abuse. 350 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 1: It was he believed conspiracy that went all the way 351 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 1: to the highest echelons of American society. The letter was 352 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: then mailed to ten thousand homes in eastern Nebraska by 353 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: a candidate running for state office at the time. When 354 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 1: the police investigation into the allegations were complete, a grand 355 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 1: jury was arranged to take place in July to determine 356 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: whether there was enough evidence to pursue a formal prosecution 357 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 1: of King and the other men who had been accused 358 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: alongside him. That same month, Gary Karadori, the Franklin Committee's 359 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: lead investigator, who had compiled the twenty one hours of 360 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:45,919 Speaker 1: testimony and had apparently tracked down sixty potential survivors of 361 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,919 Speaker 1: the alleged abuse, flew himself and his son to Chicago 362 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 1: to watch a baseball game. On the return flight, early 363 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: in the morning of July eleventh, nineteen eighty nine, Karadori's 364 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 1: playing fell out at the sky and crashed four miles 365 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: south of Ashton in north central Illinois, killing him and 366 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 1: his eight year old son. The plane was later judged 367 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: to have mysteriously broken up in midflight. According to some 368 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: Karadori had not just traveled to Chicago for a baseball game, 369 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: but also to rendezvous with a child pornographer called Rusty 370 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:32,679 Speaker 1: Nelson in order to collect incriminating photographs that purported to 371 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 1: show numerous well known individuals in compromising situations with young children. 372 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: This claim, however, is entirely unproven. A few days later, 373 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 1: the Douglas County Grand Jury found that there was absolutely 374 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 1: no evidence that Lawrence King, or anyone else for that matter, 375 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 1: had been involved in any ring of organized activity to 376 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 1: sexually exploit miners, transport miners in interstate commerce for sexual purposes, 377 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: or to traffic and controlled substances. The jury also concluded 378 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: that John De Camp had most likely written his accusatory 379 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:19,479 Speaker 1: letter for personal political gain and possible revenge for past 380 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: actions alleged against him, and that all in all, the 381 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: accusations were a carefully crafted hoax scripted by a person 382 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: or people with considerable knowledge of the people and institutions 383 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 1: of Omaha. The case seemed fairly open and shut when 384 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 1: it was then revealed that two of the four witnesses 385 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 1: who'd volunteered testimony to the Franklin Committee later recanted their statements, 386 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: saying that they'd simply made up the allegations in the 387 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: hope of making some money from it. The two other witnesses, 388 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: Alicia Owens and Poor Banazi, who claimed they were survivors 389 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: of the prostitution ring and had named specific individuals of 390 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: being involved in it, maintained that it was all true. 391 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: Both were found guilty of perjury and received hefty prison 392 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: sentences for their involvement in the adjudged hoax. Despite the 393 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: Grand Jury's ruling, it did little to diminish the ever 394 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 1: growing moral panic that seemed to have much of America 395 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 1: in its grip. The all too convenient timing and suspicious 396 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 1: nature of Garry Karadori's death, as some saw it, only 397 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: served to fan the flames. The following day, after the 398 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 1: grand jury released its verdict, a pole conducted by local 399 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: TV station k e t V revealed that more than 400 00:30:55,560 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 1: ninety percent of viewers disagreed with its findings. Many turned 401 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 1: their ire on the media, the FBI, and local law enforcement, 402 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: accusing them all of not doing their jobs properly. The 403 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: FBI said they were satisfied there was no substance to 404 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: the allegations, while the Omaha Police and state Attorney General 405 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: said their investigations into the rumors were thorough and failed 406 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 1: to find any evidence to corroborate the accusations. The editor 407 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 1: of the Omaha World Herald newspaper also defended its involvement, 408 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: arguing that dedicating seven hundred stories to the case, with 409 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 1: more than seven thousand hours clocked by journalists looking into it, 410 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:49,959 Speaker 1: was hardly a dereliction of duty. Their credibility was somewhat damaged, however, 411 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: when one Omaha World Herald journalist was soon after arrested 412 00:31:54,960 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: in an unrelated incident for abusing to children by fondling them. 413 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 1: Though Laurence King was not charged with perpetrating child abuse, 414 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 1: you was eventually found guilty of embezzling almost forty million 415 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 1: dollars stolen from the Franklin Credit Union and was sentenced 416 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 1: to fifteen years for the crime and keeping a keen 417 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 1: eye on it all from their home in Des Moines, Iowa. 418 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 1: Were Noreen and John Gosh still heartbroken and still desperately 419 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 1: searching for their son.
