THE DES MOINES REGISTER Feb. 5, 1983 The trail of John Gosch getting colder By FRANK SANTIAGO Register Staff Writer After five months, the trail to missing newspaper carrier John Gosch remains as cold as the freezing February weather outside. State authorities and West Des Moines police say they have been unable to find a shred of information that would point to what happened to the 12-year-old when he vanished early Sept. 5. as he began his Des Moines Sunday Register route.

Gerald Shanahan, chief of the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation, estimates the search for the boy has cost the state $41,600, which includes 1,676 man hours by up to seven investigators who traveled 7,555 miles. "We have a full-time agent who has been working at least 10 hours a day along an officer from the West Des Moines Police Department," said Shanahan. That figure does not include costs to the West Des Moines police, which have not been computed, and the estimated $11,000 spent by the family for private investigators. The money was raised from donations and chocolate bar sales in the community. After sifting through telephone tips, interviewing dozens, mailing stacks of fliers across pa the country, and following directions pointed out by psychics, no one is able to say even whether the youngster is alive.

The investigation, says Shanahan, now centers on tracking down "sightings," claims by individuals who call and say they have seen Gosch in places from supermarkets to bus depots across the country. None has turned up a positive identification. Friday police were pursuing one such sighting outside the state. Lacking in the case has been hard evidence or a crime scene. Gosch simply vanished, leaving a wagonload of newspapers and his dog on a West Des Moines sidewalk.

Still mysterious are two cars seen in the neighborhood by other carriers that morning. One was a dark blue full-sized car with Warren County license plates driven by a man who had parked at the curb and had a discussion with Gosch. Also reported on the street was a silver late-model Ford with a large black stripe across its side. Asked why investigators have been unable to find the cars, Shanahan said, "The plate could have been transferred and the car could have been painted. And the original identification may not have been that good." "The mere fact that we have found neither one of them is a cause for further suspicion.

The drivers have not come forward so they might definitely have some involvement." Although police have found three yellow newspaper bags like the one Gosch had, none has proved to be the one he used. Shanahan said the case "remains very active." Dennis Whelan, the Omaha investigator hired by the Gosches, said that he had "good feelings" about the case, and that he was checking into rumors the youngster was being kept by a cult near Des Moines. He said, however, he has been unable to find anyone who positively saw Gosch after he vanished. Shanahan said of the DCI hours spent on the case, "It would probably be far exceeded by a homicide but the reason is that we generally have more to do in a homicide because there is evidence there. You just can't make things happen.

If the evidence was there, if the leads were there, there might be more." West Des Moines Police Chief Orval Cooney said he has a "gut feeling" Gosch is alive. "It's just a feeling I have. Whether he's a runaway or what I don't know. I just feel he is alive." A psychic from New Hampshire who telephoned the family last month and said he would find the youngster has given up his search. "He went back home," the chief said.

The psychic, 32-year-old John Monti, accompanied by a business manager, found a pair of yellow-handled pliers, Cooney said. But the tool, Cooney said, was "common" and had no apparent connection to Gosch. $11 million theft suspect will return to face charges SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO (AP) Christos Potamitis, A former guard accused in the York was arrested record cash theft of $11 million from lounging around a pool an armored car company agreed Inn beachfront where Friday to return to New York City to tioning.

Triplets offered for mass adoption DONCASTER, ENGLAND (AP) A woman who offered her 6-year-old triplets for adoption accused social workers Friday of advertising them "like pets seeking a good home." The Doncaster Social Services Department, using fictitious names, placed the following ad in Thursday's Yorkshire Post: "Joseph, Neil and Kenneth are triplets aged six years. They are friendly active boys enjoy life and are making good progress.

They need parents who can offer them a permanent home." The boys were the offspring of a first marriage. The father died, the woman remarried and had a child and reportedly feared the triplets were breaking up the second marriage. Checker Motors workers approve new contract KALAMAZOO, MICH.

Court 'regrets' upsetting tough drunken driving law DOVER, DEL. (AP) Billboards went up last fall proclaiming "Delaware Is Tough On Drunken Drivers," and the state distributed buttons saying "No Thanks, I'm Driving," for the holiday season. But Delaware's highly publicized crackdown on drunken drivers was thrown into chaos Thursday when the state Supreme Court in a decision it called "regrettable" ruled the new law unconstitutional on a technicality. The decision wiped out charges against 1,150 people who had been arrested through Jan. 30 under the law that took effect Oct.

19. As a result, Gov. Pierre du Pont planned to call the Legislature into special session, bureaucrats combed records Friday to determine who was charged under the invalid law, and officials were checking jails to determine whether anyone was held illegally. The state's attorney general, Charles Oberly, said he does not intend to appeal although he disagreed with the decision. The ruling will have a major impact on drunken driving cases, Oberly said.

Prosecutors will examine each case to determine whether violators can be recharged under older drunken driving statutes, he said. In its ruling, the court said du Pont, a Republican, did not have the constitutional authority to reduce a funding provision of the new law from $135,000 to $20,000 before signing it last June. The court said the Legislature should have approved the change. "Anyone found guilty by an administrative hearing, we will have to return fees and licenses," Oberly said. The state Division of Motor Vehicles reassigned employees from other departments Friday to help the license revocation section purge the CLASSIFICATION INDEX: 1-170 600-699 180-306 Real 309-360 Farm Real Estate.750-860 Farm, Livestock, HELP WANTED 195 COOK, Grill exp.

Arlen Meckler, a Wilmington attorney who is handling many drunken driving cases, said people who entered pleas under the new law would "want to withdraw those pleas. And because the law is invalid, I think there will be a substantial number." After a spate of publicity about the first efforts to enforce the new law, bar and restaurant owners complained that business fell off by as much as 40 percent. Under the new law, police had broader powers and could require a breath test before making an arrest and warning a suspect of his rights.

In addition, it empowered police to seize the license of a driver who refused a breath test. The license of such a driver then was automatically revoked for one year. Drivers could get a conditional license three months later if they had qualified for a firstoffender rehabilitation program. Virginia abuzz over Redskins CHIPLEY, FLA. (AP) Florida Gov.
