    I would like to take this time to thank www.justiceforjohnnygosch.com for the website focusing on my son. It has been a very long 25 years since my son was kidnapped and sold into human trafficking, it is definitely a good feeling to have people still remember him. I will try to summarize the past 25 years into a few paragraphs.

    During the years of investigation there have been many trial and error situations as we worked through the clues, tips and pieces of information. I have had three private investigators over these years, who have helped immensely in constructing this huge puzzle.   

    One of the major developments has been Paul Bonacci coming forward with the information he has shared and we have been able to verify concerning Johnny's kidnapping and the guilty parties involved. Paul's information was verified and ruled upon in Federal Court in 1999 by Judge Urbom. This was a tremendous development, I thought the West Des Moines Police Dept. would follow up with investigation, however much to my disappointment, I was told that they were not going to do any such thing. Once again, I was left with having to work on yet another aspect of this case by myself. I have continued all of these years to run a private investigation whenever there was information.

    In 2006, the biggest shock of all came when I received the first of hundreds of photos of my son. He was bound and gagged in this photo. When I looked at it for the first time, I could not get my breath. I took them to the West Des Moines Police for investigation, however in a newspaper interview some time later, the police department stated “they did not investigate the origin of the photos." That is such a shame as they still receive the benefit of my tax dollars, so once again I launched into investigation of the photos.  

    Since 2006, I have been able to find out a great deal. Many/most of the photos which  have been discovered have been found on a Russian Pedophile Website, which contains eight million photos of children. Yes, that is right "EIGHT MILLIION." At first I could not believe it either but it is true. Now what is a  photo of a little boy from West Des Moines doing on a Russian Pedophile/porn website??  Who put my son's photo there?   What we do know is that these photos are part of someone's collection that they have had for many years. Someone has kept them for a long time and only recently been making them public on the internet.  

    I do not own the website www.justiceforjohnnygosch.com, but am very pleased that there is someone who cares enough to not only remember Johnny but to do a website with information about his case.     

    A year ago, I had a report written by Retired FBI Special Agent, Ted Gunderson on my website... www.johnnygosch.com ... The report contained a reference to Robert Wadman, former police chief of Omaha, Nebraska. Wadman called me and threatened to sue me if I didn't remove the report. So I removed Ted Gunderson's report. However, he continued to call my home and leave messages threatening to sue me. Upon the advice of my attorney, I placed  a notice on my website telling him to stop calling me or I would have no choice but to take legal action. The calls stopped for almost a year.... Then  on June 6th, 2008, he began calling me again on my cell phone and home phone threatening to sue me. He apparently thought I owned www.justiceforjohnnygosch.com, as he sent a letter addressed to me to the owner of the site. I learned of the letter today, 6/13/08.  

    I will take steps to protect myself if necessary but hopefully Mr. Wadman will realize he has made a huge mistake and stop the phone calls threatening to sue me. At the very least, I should receive an apology. This tune is getting "old".  

    I am just a mother who loves her son very much and have been working three jobs to pay for the investigation to find the truth about my son. This investigation has taken me down many paths but I have been able to uncover the HOW, WHY AND WHO of my son's kidnapping. I was given private information by the former mayor of West Des Moines before he died. Information which has given us the remaining pieces we needed to complete the puzzle. 

    Will I ever see legal resolution on this case????? Highly doubt it as there still exists the cover up which was set in motion on September 5th, 1982... 

    Once again, I do thank the owner of www.justiceforjohnnygosch.com for creating this website to help me. I only hope that my son is able to see it and know that his mother loves him and is still trying.
