Des Moines Register
Iowa paperboy Johnny Gosch was kidnapped in 1982, with unsubstantiated stories emerging later from his mother that he was abducted into a child pedophilia ring. No trace of him has ever been found. Some wonder if former Talon News reporter Jeff Gannon (real name: James Guckert) is Gosch. Erin Crawford writes: “Jim Rothstein, a retired New York City police officer and longtime investigator on the Gosch case, said becoming a White House reporter is completely in character for a former victim of the pedophilia ring.”
