In part because his mother's versions of key events alway raise far more questions than they answer. I had thought she had some hand in this video, but I see now (after watching it in riveted fascination) that she was not involved in its production and it does not mention Johnny himself at any point.
Aside from the horrible audio and missing cutaway shots (obviously a pre-broadcast version of the film, and possibly reshot a second time to tape), the people interviewed come across as very credible. Though the powers behind the scenes have in some cases discredited them in any way possible, they all present coherent accounts of tales almost too difficult to believe. And several of the witnesses are beyond reproach, especially the republican gentleman who oversaw the initial investigation of the Franklin scandal (I cannot recall his name at the moment).
The film answers one big question that I couldn't find on Noreen's site: who does she think took Johnny? She has hinted that she knows the answer. I watched Greta van Susterrrrerrrrren interview her recently and was dumbfounded at how badly she flubbed the followup to the question of 'Who?' Perhaps Noreen didn't care to mention names on the broadcast, but the presence of a link to this film on her site is pretty good indication who she thinks the prinicipals are:
Lawrence King
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_KingAlan Baer? I don't know how the name is spelled.
And Citroen? was that the newspaper guy's name? The audio made it very hard to catch the exact name.
There are too many people saying that this happened for it to be untrue. They have been punished quite deliberately for saying it. But they tell remarkably consistent stories. And it's not a story that anyone would want to tell in the first place. It's very ugly. This film is worth the time to watch.
