Try this:

string json = @"
{
    ""name"": ""testdata"",
    ""items"": {
        ""myItemName"": {
            ""located"": true
        },
        ""myOtherItemName"": {
            ""located"": true
        }
    }
}";

JObject jsonObject = JObject.Parse(json);

foreach (JProperty prop in jsonObject.SelectToken("items"))
{
    string name = prop.Name;
    bool value = (bool)prop.Value.SelectToken("located");
    Console.WriteLine(name + " = " + value);
}

Output:

myItemName = True
myOtherItemName = True
