This is the boy in the middle - he appears to have a scar on the left side of his chin (his left)

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- The mother of a boy abducted 24 years ago said she's bewildered by two photographs left at her front door, apparently showing her son and two other children bound and gagged.

Our neighbor was a victim of horrific sexual abuse. Never told a sole, was an over acheiver, honor society, etc. she started having night terrors when she was a sophmore in college. Everything came out. It was her father that was abusing her, from the time she was 4. You would not believe the crazy things he had told her over the years to keep her quiet. They sound so ridiculous, but when you think of a young child hearing those things over and over, your heart breaks. BTW, she prosecuted her dad, he pled guilty and is in prison now.
When the brother was kidnapped it tore the whole family apart. When he finally returned to the family he could not adjust, Steven was killed in a motorcycle accident. His younger brother however was arrested for some terrible murders in Yosemite.
The worst!
The 'source' pretty much garantees it's BS.

Lt. Jeff Miller of the West Des Moines Police Department said Noreen Gosch received the photos on Sunday and brought them to the police department on Tuesday. Other people connected to the case also have reported receiving copies via anonymous deliveries and the Internet.

You can find the pics there, too.
Michael Corbin (Colorado Radio Show Host - A Closer Look) is mentioned in this one. - read the excerpt below - it kinda sounds like another Karr/Tracey story. It is kinda odd that the Karr thing just happened and all of sudden this comes up. This was another big national case.

Police inspect possible Gosch photos
Corbin said Thursday he has been in contact over the past two years with a man who claims to have been another child kidnapping victim who broke away from a child-sex ring with Gosch. He said the man said his name is Jimmy Gibson and has told him he wants to speak publicly soon about their kidnappings after hiding out for years from abductors.
“In the times that he’s contacted me (via email), he’s never had a consistent email address,” Corbin said in an interview with the Register.
From the first photo:
If you enlarge the photo you can see what looks like a black eye and a burn or rub injury just above the waistline on his left side.
Also, if you do a side by side and rotate the image so his face is upright, they do appear to be the same kid. Gosch had distinctive freckling on his nose that you can see in the B/W on closeup.
Thanks. I don't know of the Corbin person, but I know the rest of this story backwards and forwards.
Remember the hoax I told you I got involved with, along with many others, concerning the JBR case? This ties in with it 3 main ways (people-wise).
Sorry, I don't believe one word of any of it. Bush41, Bush43 and Karl Rove would not do any of the things this lying bunch of people have put out there to smear them.
There is an extension of the book which does involve a number of people I *do* know. They got some of that part mostly right, but that's because it's all from court documents -- then they took it off in another direction that was beyond credibility.
#24 From your link:
"John and Noreen Gosch divorced in the mid-1990s. Since then, she has hired private investigators to hunt for her son, written a book called "Why Johnny Can't Come Home," and testified in a 1999 federal court case that her son visited her once in 1997. In that case - surrounding sex-ring allegations as part of the Franklin Credit Union scandal - Noreen Gosch testified that Johnny Gosch, then approximately 27 years old, appeared at her door with a man she had never seen before and stayed for more than an hour, detailing his breaking away from a human-trafficking ring."
Very strange!
I think you're right about the credibility part. I don't think this is part of government pedophile ring; I think he was abducted by a very sick, dark person who is now either dead or is old enough not to care about getting caught. That's why she got the pics on her b/day. It was his sick way of giving her the gift of knowing what happened to her son. I think more will come out later.
I feel sorry for the mother; she's been through a hell I can't imagine.
It was Yosemite.
Actually, it was Yosemite. I live near there and remember it vividly.
Thanks, for the life of me I couldn't remember. Old age creeping up on me!
"wasn't the head of the DHS into pedophilia?"
Btrp113Cav,
My guess is this is the case you're recollecting:
