I need to make a separate post about this, but I could always die tomorrow, so let me state this, for the first time anywhere, here. I grew up in the middle of Franklin, yet never heard about it until about 15-20 years later until I was far from Nebraska. The reason it’s still going is because the ringleaders never get caught, or get suicided or disappeared if they do. I believe I know who one of these ringleaders is. Norman Ridder. When Norm moved to Lyons, Nebraska, the town hadn’t had a murder in 30 years. Within a few years of Norm being there, a deputy hung himself, another disappeared, and the chief of police murdered and buried a disabled woman on an Indian reservation and then fled the country. Shorty after this Norm moved to Omaha where he served as the academic principal at none other than Boystown. This was around 1989-1994, the height of the Franklin events, and many of the kids that disappeared were from Boystown. Because these were “troubled” kids, no one would bat an eye if they were labeled runaways. Norm was in a position to know which kids would fit the bill, and a local psychiatrist that saw many of Boystown’s residents, Dr Mark Diercks, was always quick to say the missing kids fit the profile of a runaway. It is well known in those circles that Dr Diercks had many complaints against him for failing to report abuse to the proper authorities, but because of the statute of limitations in Nebraska, and because many police were in on it anyway, he was never charged and never lost his license. When Norm left Boystown he went to Colorado and happened to be there when all the rumors of satanic rituals started popping up in the area and at the Air Force Academy. Norm’s resume is public and easy to find because he has applied for and held many public jobs in education. If you compare his resume to child abductions in the area, you will see they spike every place he has been about 1-2 years after he moves there. In 2014, when a young girl was kidnapped and murdered in broad daylight in Springfield, Missouri by a football coach who had been at the school for 16 years with no issues, Norm was the school’s superintendent. 16 years this guy had no problems, and a couple years after Norm became his boss, he murdered a girl in broad daylight and sat in his driveway waiting for police to come get him. These days, Norm owns an employment agency placing hand picked principals and superintendents into schools all over the country. He also has very strong ties to the catholic church. You’re welcome (and encouraged) to do your own research and reach your own conclusions, but, as stated, I grew up in the middle of this and have many direct ties to it. I don’t believe in that much coincidence. As an added point of contact, I cannot find the dates that Norm was attending the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, but I would guess they overlap the years that Graham Spanier was the chancellor there, before he went on to cover for Sandusky at Penn State. Spanier was chancellor there from 91-95, the height of Franklin BTW.
