Missing Paperboys /// Chapter 4 /// Milk Carton Kids

Missing Paperboys /// Chapter 4 /// Milk Carton Kids 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. In less than two years time - Johnny Gosch went missing in Iowa, Danny Joe Eberle was abducted in Nebraska, Christopher Walden was abducted in Nebraska, and then tragedy befell Iowa once again in August of 1984. 13 year old Eugene Martin disappeared during his early morning 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.
