I can't blame you since the more outlandish and conspiratorial parts of this case can get overwhelming let alone distracting. But I will say look into this case as it is a case study on how law enforcement used to treat missing person cases and how missing person cases get publicized to the public at large. In any case, my belief is that Johnny Gosch was kidnapped and murdered likely by a serial abducter/killer in the area. The theories that have been pushed on this case not only crumble under scrutiny, but are the major reason why there haven't been any real developments for this case, let alone conclusions.

Nothing much to update. I just wanted to post the original composites of the hitmen as well as my thoughts and theories. On one hand, it perplexes me that since he finally got convicted and his appeal failed Goodwin (or the person he hired to recruit them) is still tightlipped about the hitmen. On the other hand, not so much since it could be because a) he had/has sympathy for the hitmen; they may be from a poor background and felt this could help them out. b) he doesn't intimately know them and he and his crony hired some random punks willing to do his bidding or c) essentially 'b' but with the factor they are foreign nationals from the Caribbean. Goodwin might have thought hiring foreigners would be easier and keep him off the radar and with a middleman added would further 'keep his hands clean' so to speak.

The connection to his brother's bar may need to looked at and exhausted further since this may be a case of a hit murder a la Mickey and Trudy Thompson. But since the brother is deceased any good clues may be lost. I am wary of any suspected cover up by authorities.

This past June unfortunately marks the 25th anniversary of her disappearance. Here is a NCMEC video about her case which includes a recent age progression and talks of a new documentary. Here are also segments from YouTube personality Savannah Brymer and the podcast True Crime Garage about her case as well as a collage of age progressions of Morgan throughout the years.

Today is unfortunately the 19th anniversary of their disappearance. Here is an episode from the Trace Evidence Podcast about them.

Therefore, it's a good bet that whoever becomes the new host of AMW will most likely not be an actor/actress.
That last bit is why I think AMW is more suitable for a retired police/sheriff. Or at the very least a passionate victim right's advocate like Walsh.

AMW faces the same problem as UM did, even more so. When UM was released on DVD, it only showed it's paranormal segments. At first I thought it was odd to not show the true crime segments since they were my favorite. Reading the AMW wiki article and learning why Filmrise heavily edited the Stack era UM to internet platforms answered my questions.
Not only do AMW have to deal with family of missing people not wanting the segments to reappear/reair, they also have to deal with segments where the fugitive or suspect had a conviction overturned, law enforcement wanting to withhold segments in even open cases for whatever reason and any other legal juggling the creators, producers, FOX and Walsh seem to not want to deal with at this time.
I do want to counter Pakman a bit and say AMW was popular, otherwise it's first cancellation wouldn't have been shortlived. I say it was because before true crime fandom had a home, shows like AMW never gained a sustained following like that of UM. It was probably easier to talk about ghosts and aliens than dead and missing people. Plus you can't deny the star power of Robert Stack.

The Trace Evidence Podcast (something I highly recommend) goes into detail about the Sumter County Does including possible origins and a possible suspect.

I'm glad that Wanda is now identified and has gotten justice. These doe cases sure have seen light over the last several years that now I can only think of a handful of doe cases still unsolved. Plus this isn't the first time a murderer from a true crime show got murdered himself. One last thing I want to know, have they figured out if she was pregnant or had a child since some reports say she might've.

What frustrated me about his case that so many his circle and high society were willing to support and even cover for him and helping him escape justice for so long despite being guilty with his pants down. Shows how many can corrupt in our society. What further frustrated me was the lack of an extradition treaty with Ireland and France's frankly backwards way of extradition further complicating everything.

Here are videos from the BuzzFeed Unsolved Network and Youtube channel Something Ghoulish about the case. There are three popular theories surrounding the case. 1) Originally presented by Joe Hill, the son of horror author Stephen King that she may be one of the extras from the thriller movie Jaws. 2) She was a victim of Whitey Bulger or Hadden Clark. 3) This one was debunked but it was believed by some that she was escaped criminal Rory Gene Kesinger.

There are a lot of inconsistencies and holes in this case. For example why are Sadie and Wendy's recounts of when they last saw Anthonette so different? Why was police work in this initially so poor and why were people in Anthonette's family and community not willing to open up more about the case?

Oi, another case involving Nancy Myer. I again stress that any of her theories should be taken with a grain of salt. In any case, my theories are: 1) This maybe a murder of a lover's quarrel and that someone once was or was unrequited romantically involved in Rochelle Robinson's life may be the killer. Either the suspected stalker or someone else we don't know. I may have to include Janet on Michael Johnston's side despite being cleared. She did know about the affair beforehand and the talk about insurance policies is another factor. 2) A common criminal or serial killer crossed paths with Michael and Rochelle which led to their fate. 3) They may have been involved in a dispute or scuffle with someone or someones in their fantasy games group but I stress the reason can be something else other than that it was a fantasy game, black magic, or the occult. "Magic: The Gathering" among other things were part of the hysteria late in the last century involving anything fantasy, dark/spooky, Gothic or occultist and the UM segment may be guilty of fueling that by using such an angle. Although many foolish people took it too far, many of these subcultures and activities were largely harmless and Michael and Rochelle likely were just interested in the game and nothing else. Here are the composites of the supposed stalker and supposed suspects according to Nancy Myer.
