And Then They Were Gone

On July 27, 2021, 5-year-old Michael Vaughan was sitting in his living room in Fruitland, Idaho, playing video games. His father left him there to go check on Michael’s younger sister and order a pizza. He was gone for maybe 15 or 20 minutes. But when he came back, his little boy was gone. Now, four months later, Michael “Monkey” Vaughan is still missing, and his parents are begging for police and the public to not let his case go cold. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Fruitland Police Department at 208-642-6006, ext. 0 or contact the department through its tip line at [email protected] us everywhere: linktr.ee/attwgpodSupport us on Patreon | Merch StoreFor a full list of our sources, please visit our blog:Michael Vaughan’s mother pleads — don't let his case go coldNew information in search for missing Idaho boy could 'prove to be very helpful'Police aim to ‘recreate a complete picture’ in case of missing boy5-year-old Michael Vaughan missing now for two monthsIdaho cops search for 5-year-old boy missing since last weekFruitland, IdahoIDAHO MISSING PERSONS CLEARINGHOUSE ENDANGERED MISSINGID - MICHAEL VAUGHAN: Missing from Fruitland, ID - 27 July 2021 - Age 55-year-old missing from IdahoBe sure to check out Reverie True Crime wherever you get your podcasts!Instacart - Groceries delivered in as little as 1 hour.

On September 5, 1982, Johnny Gosch spoke to a man in a blue car before he began his Sunday paper route. Moments later, he would be gone, with his red wagon full of undelivered newspapers left behind. A lackluster police investigation led to his case going cold rather quickly, but the next several years would be filled with sightings and other signs that Johnny was out there somewhere. All culminating with a jailhouse confession from a man who claimed he knew exactly what happened to Johnny Gosch, because he’s the one who helped kidnap him.Find us everywhere: linktr.ee/attwgpodSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/attwgpodFor a full list of sources, please visit our blog: andthentheyweregone.com/blogSources:The Twisted Unsolved Tale of the Johnny Gosch Disappearance, Part 3: A Terrifying Trail of Bread…Johnny Gosch abductionPhotos dropped on U.S. mother's doorstep add cruel new twist to 1982 missing-boy caseJohn David Gosch – The Charley ProjectHave you seen this child?Johnny Gosch abductionJohnny GoschDisappearance of Johnny GoschInstacart - Groceries delivered in as little as 1 hour.

An entrepreneurial 12-year-old wanted to earn money to buy a dirt bike, so he started delivering newspapers. On Sunday, September 5, 1982, Johnny Gosch loaded up his red wagon with copies of the Des Moines Register and set off on his early-morning route. Johnny was usually accompanied by his father, but this morning, he only had his dog with him. The people on his route all knew Johnny and his family, so when they hadn’t gotten their Sunday paper, some customers started calling the Gosch home. Johnny’s father went out to find his son, but instead of the 12-year-old, he only found the red wagon and his dog. Now, nearly 40 years later, this case has bred multiple conspiracy theories going up to the top levels of U.S. government, and has left people still passionately debating what happened to Johnny Gosh.Find us everywhere: linktr.ee/attwgpodSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/attwgpodFor a full list of sources, please visit our blog: andthentheyweregone.com/blogSources:John David Gosch – The Charley Projecthttps://www.newspapers.com/clip/33653808/the-des-moines-register/Johnny Gosch: An Iowa kidnapping that helped change the nationhttps://news.google.com/newspapers?id=DooxAAAAIBAJ&sjid=iaUFAAAAIBAJ&pg=4588,4164919&dq=johnny+gosch&hl=enhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/?clipping_id=14328790&fcfToken=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJmcmVlLXZpZXctaWQiOjMzNjgxMzk0MiwiaWF0IjoxNjM3NTMzMjg3LCJleHAiOjE2Mzc2MTk2ODd9.xQTJthcoKIfJBOFI2Ujr18SCTLBM6NeXdlgq1k5Qc7Ihttps://www.newspapers.com/clip/27523101/frank-sykora-guilty-plea/John and Noreen Gosch displayed the message written on...Clipping from The Des Moines RegisterThe Twisted Unsolved Tale of the Johnny Gosch Disappearance, Part 3: A Terrifying Trail of Bread…https://web.archive.org/web/20050305100428/http://www.dmregistInstacart - Groceries delivered in as little as 1 hour.

When his wife, Beverly Wise was murdered in their San Bernardino, California home in 1977 and their two oldest children were kidnapped, Claude Wise feared that he would never see them again. But two years later, in 1979, detectives told him that they believed his children were still alive. In fact, their investigation would reveal that the children had been hiding in plain sight: eating out in restaurants, and attending Sunday School. But despite multiple arrests, and the lengthiest and most expensive trial in San Bernardino’s history, Brandi Summers and Tiffany Wise’s whereabouts remain unknown, over 40 years later. Claude Wise and his youngest daughter Stacy are still searching, and they believe that there are many people who are still alive who hold the answers to this mystery.Find us everywhere: linktr.ee/attwgpodSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/attwgpodFor a full list of sources, please visit our blog: andthentheyweregone.com/blogBrandi Jondell Summers – The Charley ProjectTiffani Claudette Wise – The Charley ProjectCA - CA - Brandi Summers, 5, & Tiffani Wise, 2, San Bernadino, 30 March 1977Case File 322DFCAThe Doe Network: Case File 323DFCAHave you seen this child?

On the afternoon of March 30, 1977, a young mother is brutally stabbed to death while home with her three young children. Her two oldest children, Brandi Summers and Tiffani Wise were taken. Her youngest child, Stacy Wise, who was only eight months old at the time, was later found sitting alone in the hallway, completely unharmed. Over the course of the next three years, police would uncover what seemingly amounted to a criminal conspiracy, spanning across several states. But despite many witness accounts and even a highly publicized and lengthy trial, Tiffani and Brandi remain missing, over 40 years later.Find us everywhere: linktr.ee/attwgpodSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/attwgpodSources: For a full list, please visit our blog: andthentheyweregone.com/bloghttps://www.newspapers.com/clip/88460244/roy-summers-wife-statement/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/57426276/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/88597468/beverly-wise-murder-probe/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/88597601/summers-assault-sentence/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/88597807/summers-assault-sentence-page-2/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/88598057/juanita-iwakiri-testimony/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/88598254/summers-murder-trial-begins/Instacart - Groceries delivered in as little as 1 hour.
