Psychic joins Des Moines search for missing paperboy John Gosch
Police and volunteers, about 100 in wooded areas around Des Moines and West Des Moines, continue a three day hunt for 12 year old John Gosch who disappeared after starting his Sunday newspaper route. West Des Moines Police Chief Orval Cooney has consulted with Greta Alexander a Delavan Illinois psychic and plans further area mapping. Authorities say there is no evidence of abduction or running away though the family is hopeful and the Des Moines Register offers a 5000 dollar reward for information leading to his return.
