Serial Napper | True Crime Stories for Naps

Gosch became one of the first children to be featured on milk cartons in 1982 after he went missing during one of his routine paper routes in Des Moines, Iowa. And while that alone is interesting, it’s actually one of the least fascinating facts about his disappearance. The police did a less than stellar job looking into Johnny’s disappearance, but was it shoddy police work or a massive cover-up of a child sex trafficking ring?
We’re going to walk through it all, and trust me when I say, this is a story you will never forget.

17-year-old Ashley Reeves was savagely attacked by a teacher who was having an inappropriate relationship with her. He strangled her in a forested area of a park, leaving her there like to die alone, where he hoped no one would find her at least for a while. His violence, chilling, and his behaviour after the violence are even more shocking. This is the survival story of Ashley Reeves.

Was this a case of nurture or was Jacob destined to kill? Let’s talk about it.
