🎙️ The Devil Within
Johnny Gosch: The Final Hours
For decades, the story of Johnny Gosch has hovered somewhere between tragedy and conspiracy theory, between grassroots activism and government cover-up. In this final installment, we leave the suburban sidewalks of Iowa and enter murkier territory—an underworld where power protects the powerful, and the line between truth and delusion is dangerously thin.
We meet the so-called informants, like Paul Bonacci, who claim to have been trafficked alongside Johnny in a network stretching from Omaha to Washington, D.C. We examine the infamous Franklin Credit Union scandal, the dossiers, the handwritten letters, and the grainy photos that allegedly show Johnny alive and chained. We follow Noreen Gosch through the corridors of Capitol Hill and into late-night meetings with ex-cops, private investigators, and men with things to confess.
What emerges is not a resolution—but a reckoning.
Because the deeper we go, the clearer it becomes: this isn’t just about one missing boy. It’s about a society that wasn’t ready to believe what it already knew. A mother who refused to stop asking questions. And a case that, forty years later, still hasn’t been officially solved—because solving it might mean admitting the unimaginable.
