It’s a story that shocked communities and catapulted iowa into the national spotlight, changed state law and forever changed the way parents monitored their children’s activities. Twelve-year-old des moines register paperboy johnny gosch left his west des moines home on sunday morning, september 5, 1982, to begin his paper route. He wore a white sweatshirt with ‘kim’s academy’ on the back, warm-up pants, blue rubber flip-flops, and carried a yellow paper-bag. Normally, his father, john gosch, accompanied him on the route, but on this day johnny went alone.Agency
