I'm not sure I can read the rest of the story. This sounds really sick already.

Strange!

Gosch believes her son was taken by child pornographers. She told authorities he briefly contacted her in 1997 but feared for his life and declined to give details about where he was. She believes his abductors got him involved in crimes, which is why he is hiding his identity.

there are some theories that he was connected to government officials who went bad and were connected to child sex slavery.

Are you kidding about Jeff Gannon? Isn't he the former freeper and WH reporter or am I thinking about someone else?

Read it. It says that he contacted his mother in the 90's but would not disclose his location. He may still be alive.

I just don't know where the strength comes from to go from day to day in this type of situation -

He has to know somewhere in his heart if he's still alive - it doesn't matter what was done to him, or what he got involved with - he has a place in his mom's heart and embrace -

Looks like grist for another episode of "Most Evil" on The Discovery Channel,
even if there wasn't a murder involved.

WARNING: Children (and adults with a sensitive nature) should NOT watch "Most Evil"

Wow. I remember this boy's name and his disappearance.
I had no idea that he'd contacted his mom 15 yrs later.
Maybe he's the one who left the picture?

Yeah, that's the one. He was a former WH reporter and then came out as bi-sexual. If I remember right, Jeff Gannon is not his real name. There's some stuff out there on the web about it. I have not a clue as to how reliable it is.

I don't think this just happened (the mother finding the photos I mean). I think it is the promotion for the mother's book. It would be difficult to read, but probably will be a best seller.

Ping to some "possible" information about former WH reporter and freeper Jeff Gannon.
