What are your opinions on these unknowns and little known/discussed facts. What sticks out to you? Anything to add or eliminate?

1. The information we know about Johnny’s friends has never been publicized. They were not mentioned in the documentary. Little is known is about his scuffle at school.
2. The Gosches were threatened to keep quiet in the mid 80s.
3. The siblings and witnesses, except Rossi, have remained quiet. The Birges were left out as witnesses in public reporting. Neighbor Diane DePhillips reported seeing him in her historical fiction book.
4. We know little about the Gosch Yoga practice and interest in Metaphysics.
5. The police have never released a public timeline of events.
6. To our knowledge, DNA has not been used in the Schofield, Snow, Randolph, Gosch, Martin, Perry and Baldwin cases.
7. Murderer Raul Ancer came to Des Moines from Mexico through Miami and basically avoided prosecution and/or jail time until his death in 1988. He was reported to be from Lebanon and Mexico.
8. Convicted murder and pedophile Ken Scholz, lived a quiet life in Des Moines after leaving prison in Illinois.
9. Accused child stealer/abuser and foster child parent, Ken Newell, was known by police for previous transgressions, lived in their neighborhood and was not known by the general public.
10. The award winning HBO documentary about the case is only publicly available at the Library of Congress. It contains an interview with his friend Scott.
11. The Pidgeon family owned a popular furniture store. They were also in the porn business. Thomas Pidgeon was accused of murder in California. Barry Pidgeon was reportedly the target of a hit by Gosch neighbor and union insurer Louis Risken.
12. Little is known about Gosch neighbor and accused kidnapper Frank Gazzo.
13. Des Moines Register employee Beverly Parks was murdered by her husband. She was reportedly a circulation manager.
14. Kim’s Academy was in financial trouble according to court documents. Students included cocaine dealers and connections to pedophile and metaphysics practitioners Tasumo Makami and Shane McGlothen.

While I have a few theories on the cases, IMO the Gosch and Martin cases are potentially solvable using DNA. As u/affectionatepain7554 mentioned, from Eugene’s bag and also from the stamp and envelope received from Industry, CA. Both may reveal someone with knowledge about the disappearances. Does anyone think differently?
