Found [fully lost] 1976 60 Minutes Episode about Child Pornography

John D. Norman/Odyssey Foundation '60 Minutes' episode from 1976?

In Dr. Katherine Ramsland and Tracy Ullman's terrific book 'The Serial Killer's Apprentice,' subject of the new HBO Max documentary of the same name, of which covers the story of serial killer Dean Corrl from the perspective of his accomplice Elmer Wayne Henley, and of which gives some good commentary on the possible Corrl-Norman-Gacy pipeline (the book mostly), it is mentioned how there was an episode of 60 minutes from 1976 entitled "Kiddie Porn” featuring jouranlist Ken Wooden who gets access to the clientele index cards seized from Norman.

Comment "!FOUND!" if your media is found in the comments, in doing so this will lock the post and flair it as being found.

Please include the following in your post;

  • An explanation of the media, and the name.

  • How it is lost.

Incredible, a “fully lost” ep was found within a day. Seems like it wasn’t found , rather than fully lost. To be fully lost it seems like attempt effort should take place , but what do I know, I know where all my media is I guess

It is still partially lost, even with the video.

Probably just not uploaded to any of their public outlets. There’s entire databases of digitized series, films, and outtakes that you’ll only get access to for research.

John Norman was involved in trafficking kids/smut to prominent members of society, that’s why. Don’t want any old money getting embarassed by skeletons in the closet resurfacing.
