In the early morning of September 5th, 1982, 12-year-old Johnny
Gosch set out for his morning paper route in West Des Moines, Iowa.
Typically, Johnny's father woke up early to help him with
delivering the papers. Recently, Johnny had been begging his
parents to let him complete the route on his own. His parents told
him that he couldn't. However that Sunday morning, he didn't wake
up his father and left to collect his newspapers. Other paperboys
saw Johnny speaking to a man in a car and then continuing on his
way. Several witnesses reported seeing the car again and a man
walking out from between two houses to follow Johnny. Later that
morning, neighbors began calling Johnny's parents to ask why their
paper hadn't been delivered. Johnny's dad went to look for his son
and found his abandoned wagon and his little dog that he'd taken
with him. Johnny was nowhere to be found. 39-years-later, there
still has not been a proper investigation into his disappearance
and he has never been located. Was Johnny simply a runaway or was
he abducted and forced into the world of child trafficking?

Lost Hills: Dead in the
Water- Lost Hills investigates the
dark side of Malibu, California. Beneath a seductive facade,
this city of billionaires, celebrities, and surf bums is hiding
something menacing. Season 2 takes place in the late 70s and
early '80s, as Malibu was changing from a low-profile beach
town into a celebrity haven, full of new money and hard drugs.
When a Malibu woman and her son mysteriously drowned, her
husband was arrested for their murders—and ultimately
convicted. But to this day, many people—including the victim's
family—claim he's innocent.

And listen back to season 1, which chronicled the horrifying
story of a man killed in a Malibu campground while sleeping
beside his young daughters—and exposed a law-enforcement
coverup.
