[UA] A Photo By Proxy?

[Tim Bisaillon]

Iowa (AP) - The mother of a boy abducted 24 years ago said she's bewildered 
by two photographs left at her front door, apparently showing her son and 
two other children bound and gagged.

The old photos appear to show 12-year-old Johnny Gosch with his mouth gagged 
and his hands and feet tied. The boy is wearing the same sweatpants Johnny 
was wearing when he disappeared while delivering newspapers on the morning 
of Sept. 5, 1982, his mother said.

"It's like reliving it," Noreen Gosch told The Associated Press on Thursday 
night. "But the bigger picture is, 'Why are they doing this?'

"Whoever had these photos had them for 24 years. I don't understand why they 
would do this now. It must be some kind of message."

Gosch said investigators confirmed the photos were authentic and likely 
taken within "hours or days" of the abduction. She said they were checking 
for fingerprints that could lead them to the source and possibly a 
breakthrough in a case that has long baffled authorities. The other boys in 
the photo were unidentified.
