Episode 380 Johnny Gosch · Part II — “Photos, Affidavits & a Story That Grew”
The morning at the corner never answered the central question—so the case grew. In Part II, we follow Johnny’s file as it leaves West Des Moines and enters a national spotlight. We examine the photographs that ignited debate—where they surfaced, how analysts tried to date and contextualize them, and what a still image can and cannot prove. We unpack sworn statements and affidavits, including how investigators separate method from authorship and why civil outcomes aren’t criminal proof. We also cover the alleged late-night visit recounted by Johnny’s mother and the law-enforcement posture that kept it in the realm of claim rather than evidence. Throughout, we draw a bright line between record and allegation, ending with what still stands under weight after decades of attention.
