Missing Paperboys /// Chapter 6 /// The Lost Boys

Author: TRUE CRIME GARAGE April 22, 2026 Duration: 1:09:43
In the early eighties middle America experienced tragedies that no parent could imagine. Newspaper boys were disappearing. They would step out into the dark of the early morning hours to deliver the daily news to their neighborhoods and some of them did not return. It started in Iowa and then moved to Nebraska. Kids were plucked off the street just a few steps into their routes and some have vanished forever. Johnny Gosch went missing from Des Moines, Iowa in September of 1982. In August of 1984, 13 year old Eugene Martin disappeared during his early morning Des Moines Register paper route. After Eugene vanished the Anderson Erickson Dairy company began printing black and white photos and bios on the sides of Milk Cartons distributed across the state of Iowa. In March of 1986 Marc Allen became the third boy to vanish from the streets of Des Moines.

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.
