On the morning of Sept 5th, a little before 6 a.m, Johnny left the house with his wagon & dog for his paper route. He walked towards the corner street to the paper drop where the other boys gathered the papers for their routes. On his way, a man in a car asked Johnny for directions. Johnny didn't speak to the man but kept walking towards the drop. The car pulled up to the drop, the man turned off the engine, opened his passeneger door, and started talking to the boys. Johnny mentioned to the boys there "this man is weird, I'm going to go home." Also at the drop was a local attorney who was picking up the newspapers for his son.
When Johnny gathered his papers, he walked a way, and turned the corner. From the eyewitnesses, the man made a u-turn in the street, turned his dome light off n on 3 times. When he did this a tall man walked out between two houses and followed Johnny. The eyewitnesses heard Johnny's dog growl. The car turned the corner. They heard the engine roar. The car raced up the street, ran a stop sign and turned the corned towards the interstate. It was never seen again.
Johnny's parents were awoken to a phone call from an individual stating that they haven't received their paper yet. Johnny Sr (dad) went out to find Johnny to see what was going on. This was the 1st time ever that Johnny's dad didn't go with Johnny on his paper route. A few minutes later he came rushing into the house yelling "call the police Johnny's is gone". Noreen (mom) called the police. She then called the Des Moines Register to get information about the other boys at the drop. Calling each of the boys, she heard the same story. Now armed with a license plate number, decription of the men & car she waited for the police to arrive.
They did not arrive until 10 am.
This story is one that starts out as the usual unfortunate tale. That's where it turns into something more sinister. Witnesses have been murdered and corruption ranges from the lowest to the highest level of government.
I spent more than 12 hours straight reading about Johnny's case. The pedophile ring that was responsible for Johnny's disappearance hindered the investigation every chance it could.
In 2006, Noreen received a knock at the door on her birthday. On the porch was an envelope, inside were pictures of her son:
She has since received many more of Johnny & other boys.
In 1997, Johnny was able to briefly visit his mother. He was 28 years old, in hiding, pleading for Noreen's help.

Johnny, I know that you check your Mom's website & the Justice site. In hopes you happen upon here ... Thursday was your 40th birthday. You've been gone 27 years & you've managed to see your mom once. I hope soon you find that it is safe for you to go home. We know your dad was involved. Maybe you are waiting for his passing to come out of hiding. Just know we know.
ETA - There had been reports that Jeff Gannon is really Johnny. This is confirmed by the Franklin kids .... this website is a Q & A with Noreen regarding Jeff. http://www.rense.com/general67/gannn.htm
