Nancy Grace Cold Case

How sad to see a missing child case go unsolved for so long. It is unfathomable how someone can disappear without a trace. And let us not forget the other cold cases of missing children, such as Anna Waters (1973), Kevin Collins (1984), Etan Patz (1979), Elizabeth Gill (1965), etc. I hope they are able to find some answers.

i remember this story and I am around his age. i wish johnny would come forward and talk to federal authorities in DC to bring closure & justice. if he visited his mom, he is 40. this would help others.

All of the disgusting perverted politicians and law enforcement officials involved in abducting these young innocent children for their pleasure need to be castrated without pain meds!!!!
Johnny my wishes that you are alive...and well? Upon seeing those photos after your abduction I would think a swift and painless death would have been the better alternative. I am so sorry that you had to endure so many years of the most tragic and gruesome torture by grown men who we are all suppose to trust....

they say a photo of several boys was sent to mother and she said one of them was her son and cops dismissed it.a mother knows her son so if she says its him then they should believe her.

Why doesn't local and state authorities have cameras posted around school yards or anywhere that young children gather. It seems to me that this is a solution that the public would GLADLY finance.

It seems that money is set aside to catch the "speeders" and silly minor infractions. Let the money go towards protecting our youth.

I have a child missing since 1986 that is still unsolved. Try as they might – without the assistance of the community "concience" – law enforcement was unable to solve many cases that are solved with seemingly ease and speed these days. I know my son's case has never been 'closed' as such – but has remained unsolved for over 23 years. To have this woman murdered in the same county and yet another unsolved murder – that of Leah Freeman – as well as my sons disappearance – brings back the horrors of those first years after Jeremy was gone. For the family – The only thing worse than this horrible news – would be waiting for this horrible news to arrive for many years. My heartfelt sincere sympathies are with this entire family – the parents, children, and sister's family – all concerned... hopefully closure can happen and the long task of healing can begin – if the media lets it happen. There is a long road ahead for them.

I find it odd that the father would deliver the papers, as any parent would be in a state of panic! There is no way any mother would just let her son walk out the door if he came home years later after being abducted! Regardless of them sying they were in danger. Obviously both parents know what happened to their son since their behavior isn't as most would behave. Sounds like one of them probably killed him either accidentally or on purpose and the other is covering.. If the mother knows her son is dead, and she sais he visited her some time later... maybe it's to distract everyone involved from condidering them as suspects.

Am I hearing this right that the boy Johnny is still alive? I don't remember this, but it seems to me if he was alive he would come back to his mother, I would think he would not let his mother worry all these years. God Bless the Family.

My nephew Zakory Rae Commissaris was tortured and murdered in 2005. He was 20 months old. Its not exactly a "cold Case" But still we wonder why, when all the evidence pointed directly to the accused, Did he get off free? And why wern't other people that were around when it was happening, not get charged with any crime? Im sorry for anyone dealing with the death of a loved one. My question is, for anyone that has had this emmense pain in their hearts, how do you get over it with No Closure?

Unfortunately, there has been limited closure for your family. Not justice, but closure. You know that your little nephew is gone, for good. A horrible death. A sad testimony to the things that humans are capable of. For those of us, literally hundreds of thousands, who do not know if our children, siblings, or parents are still among the living or not – there is never any closure. We can't give up hope, we have no tangible evidence that Jeremy Bright is dead, but we can't fathom any reason that he is not here with us, or contacted us, or let anyone know that he is still alive. Is he maimed, does he have anmesioa, has he been tortured, does he need help??? All of these questions have haunted me on a daily basis for over 23 years... and there is no closure. And my heart goes out to those who have closure and no justice. Our system isn't by any means perfect, that's why all the scum of the earth have decided this is the place to call home. Please God, birng rest to those who are waiting for word!

Has anyone started considering whether or not the Missouri Mohler family might have been involved in the disappearance of the paperboys from Des Moines at this time? There was another besides Johnny if I remember correctly. At least one Mohler lived in Iowa. Did any of them drive a car similar to the one described at that time? I lived in Iowa and was the same age as Johnny. This story haunted me then, and still affects me today. I hope there is a conclusion one day.
