No, the book written by John Decamp, former US senator.

https://www.amazon.com/Franklin-Scandal-Story-Powerbrokers-Betrayal/dp/1936296071

There's also a documentary on the subject, known as "conspiracy of silence".

A pdf copy, but I'll warn you the contents can be incredibly disturbing: http://www.whale.to/b/the_franklin_cover-up_-_john_decamp_-_ebook.pdf

Another book on the subject:

I watched it about 10 minutes ago and here are my thoughts. SPOILER ALERT. Duh.

  1. In that era, police wholeheartedly didn't want to believe in pedophilia or any other menacing theories because it made their jobs far harder. They also strictly prescribed to the rules, including the whole 72hr waiting period. I suppose for many years there were more runaways than genuine abductions / violent situations. Processes are changed for a reason, I suppose unfortunately this and the subsequent abductions were why these were changed.
    Also it seems like the Des Moines police were sticking to the party line, as were the FBI. Most enforcement agencies do not throw each other under the bus and can be treated harshly for talking out of turn.
    I don't think it's a conspiracy, more just the thin blue line at work.

  2. Paul Bonacci seemed credible and if anyone were to believe it, it'd be Noreen. I know most parents of missing children grasp at straws, but by the point Paul Bonacci came to the table - she'd done all her grasping.
    Not to mention the information that came out of his interviews led to the house in the woods with the carved initials etc. He had so much information that honestly made sense and he also had no reason to seek her out, he clearly got no pleasure out of seeing her. He actually seemed genuinely upset and guilty.

  3. It seems plausable that he did visit her, as often victims find a way to send a message to their loved ones as they are seeking closure, but not always a reunion with them. Again, I see no reason for her to lie, as it'd actually hurt her case to find Johnny, not help it. As by that point he'd be in his teens and considered a runaway, as he again - left voluntarily this time.
    If he were returning to 'that life' and the people involved in those rings, or living rough as a teen - he may have met a bad end after that. OR he's actually alive and just keeping a low profile in order to protect himself / his family.
    Potentially he could have contacted Noreen again and as she's not been under oath since, she may keep her silence / be keeping her silence.

  4. Most likely he's part of the cycle of predators if he wasn't able to escape and find help. Hopefully he was able to get some therapy and medication to assist with his likely trauma and PTSD (assuming he is alive). It's all pure speculation, but we all like to have hope.

  5. On this topic is Why Johnny Can't Come home

    The The Franklin Scandal: A Story of Powerbrokers, Child Abuse & Betrayal and also there is The Franklin Cover-up: Child Abuse, Satanism, and Murder in Nebraska which were referenced in this documentary.

This book is supposedly better, much more even coverage, I've been told by some people involved at the time. The Last Podcast on the Left coverage is also interesting to hear, though their take is more that even if 10% of it is true it's still horrifying. I know people who were involved in various aspects and there are tons of prosecutors and journalists in the area who to this day insist that if you dug too deep you could get killed.

It is also worth noting that at the same time as the Franklin investigation, DeCamp was calling out Jerry Sandusky for his shit, but nobody listened.

Start here. Get back to me after you've finished reading this. Then we'll take you to phase 2.

If you want to investigate this case more thoroughly, unfortunately you have to look at Paul Bonacci and the Franklin Credit scandal. This case is surrounded by misinformation and conspiracy theories, but the crux of John DeCamp's book was basically right, imho.

The best way to avoid the misinformation is to read Nick Bryant's book, The Franklin Scandal.

https://www.amazon.com/Franklin-Scandal-Story-Powerbrokers-Betrayal/dp/1936296071

There's also an MSNBC documentary where Paul Bonacci provides details that only Johnny and his mother knew, and takes the camera crew to a location he says boys were stored.

“The Franklin Scandal” (also called Coverup) is somehow glossed over and I’ve only heard a few mentions of it on conspiracy pods. This should be Huge (I had to)!

It’s a seriously heinous true, documented story about child abduction, pedophilia, coverup, warped Satanic cults, high up govt officials perpetuating this garbage... I can’t even...

There’s a handful of books about it, very little online, and it points to an even deeper, larger conspiracy of child abuse worldwide.

Do you really want to know? It has been going on forever, only a tiny fraction make the news to cover it up. https://www.amazon.com/Franklin-Scandal-Story-Powerbrokers-Betrayal/dp/1936296071
