patrick w hill of modale iowa , pat and peggy hill / layton have raped countless babies – preteens patrick raped all his own children boys and girls alike ,peggy helped and babysat and they said get them before they are 2 years old and they wont tell on you .pat says all the kids liked it . now the victims of pat and peggy are aaa addicts mentel ect .no body ever did anything to stop patrick hill or protect us little children . signed the hill kids n jonny gosh in pedo hills pickup camper .
My question is, is there any solid proof of this claim of this man and woman raping children? Are there police reports on record of such abuses? Surely if this many children have been so horrifically raped/molested, someone would have come forward before now and an investigation would’ve been launched.
As it is, I doubt the veracity of this comment and question why it has been posted to this site. I’ve found nothing of public record to support this claim and in fact, the only other mention I’ve found has been “The Hill Kids” leaving a similiar comment on someone’s obituary/memorial page. WIthout absolute proof that such crimes have been committed, the concern is that this kind of statement is purposely inflammatory and harmful to the parties mentioned in the remarks, not to mention extremely libelous, which has the potential for legal issues to arise if the people mentioned in the statement find it out.
I’m not saying that the statements aren’t possibly true, but I suspect this is someone’s idea of a sick joke, and what a truly sick joke it is, signing the name “Johnny Gosh (sic)” in an attempt to be funny. Please, if this is a sick joke, take your tasteless humor somewhere else and far away from a site designed for unsolved homicides and missing persons. Grieving families don’t need to see that kind of tacky remark on here.
Proof i only have the word of the children, police reports buried somewere i suppose,no one ever did anything.,come forward i suppose the children were all too ashamed to come forward and feared for our lives,re legal issue if the pedofiles in the statments find out ,shout it from the mountain tops i would like to face them in court to expose them to the whole world.but i think its more likely ill be shot dead,im sorry for writing jonny gosh i would take it back if i could, its just that he told me a story of blacked out drunk driving his red ford pickup with a camper in iowa ,and i thought he might have abducted children,and he spoke of a lil girl in NY,and he was a baby photographer. and he never did any jail time for all the children he harmed.he was in st peter for the criminally insane for a bit,but charge was listed as berg after he went to court for rapeing my 8 year old sister,im sure to this day he poss child porn,and suspect for other child sex crimes, but the statue of limitations has run out on raping all us in MN,bellview NE .omaha NE, he raped me in texas when i was 12 is their a statue of limitation there? im sorry for posting here i just wanted to warn people,and im so sorry for missing kids and murder victims familys.i hope there is a judgment day.i have forgiven so much in my life,but have not been able to forgive my father, such a monster has no guilt no remorse i hope he will get judgment in the next world ,hes just laughing in this world.i hope the killers and childrapists dont have a place in heaven at the feast with all us kindhearted good caring loving people,its no joke sorry if its tacky ,
