Missing Paperboys /// Chapter 5 /// A Need to Kill

Missing Paperboys /// Chapter 5 /// A Need to Kill

Author: TRUE CRIME GARAGE April 22, 2026 Duration: 1:31:15
In the eighties in middle America paperboys were disappearing. It started in Iowa and then moved to Nebraska. Kids were plucked off of the street and some have vanished forever. The first boy gone was Johnny Gosch. The second was Danny Joe Eberle. The third boy didn’t have a paper route at all. Christopher Walden was abducted near his home while walking to school, on December 2, 1983. John Joubert confessed to and later was convicted of murdering Danny Joe Eberle and Christopher Walden. Even with a confession Joubert was a man with many secrets. Some he told to investigative reporter Mark Pettit. Mark Pettit is the author of “A Need to Kill,” and he was kind enough to join us in the Garage for a discussion about abduction, murder, and what goes on in the mind of a serial killer.

Settle in for a detailed, often gritty conversation that feels like hanging out in a friend's garage. On True Crime Garage, hosts Nic and the Captain take a weekly, methodical look at real-life mysteries, from infamous international headlines to lesser-known local stories that deserve a closer examination. Their approach is both analytical and conversational, breaking down the facts, timelines, and theories surrounding each case with a focus on thorough research. The tone is grounded, featuring the kind of sharp, off-the-cuff banter that comes from two friends deeply engrossed in a topic, making the complex details of an investigation more accessible. You'll hear them sift through evidence, debate possibilities, and sometimes even revisit older cases with new information, all while maintaining a respectful tone toward the victims and their families. This isn't about sensationalism; it's about pulling a case apart piece by piece to understand the how and why. The result is an immersive podcast experience that feels less like a formal lecture and more like a compelling, extended dialogue. For anyone fascinated by the unresolved and the meticulously researched, True Crime Garage offers a substantive, engaging listen that goes beyond the surface-level facts, all delivered with the casual, familiar vibe of a late-night discussion.
