Deceased/Not Found NY - Etan Patz, 6, New York, 25 May 1979 #1 *P. Hernandez guilty*

[Kat]

I would assume that the woman that was hired to walk Etan to school (the one who had a relationship with Ramos and subsequently reportedly told LE that Ramos befriended her in order to molest her own child IIRC) would have lived close to the Patz'? Wonder which building she lived in? (that wasn't on NG, that was me thinking out loud)

I am not sure if Nancy is live right now, or was live earlier today and it's airing at 8:00 PM EDT.

I dunno but i haven't read any articles that stated the Medical Examiner was at the scene. I thought that wouldn't occur unless there was a body to take care of properly...
School me if I'm wrong! This tidbit is getting me excited that they found something.

How could this guy stay under the radar for 33 years??? If they do find him there I will be shocked. Would make me wonder if this guy is the perp if it was more a case that Etan witnessed something or ticked him off some how more then he was a preditor. You would think there would be other victims if he was a preditor and I dont know of any others over the years in that neighborhood.

Wasn't he in prison upstate for a long time? That is what I seem to recall...so he was accounted for, for a long time, I believe...

Watching this though makes you wonder how anyone is ever charged without being caught red-handed or DNA being found...this guy to me is so clearly guilty, LE probably knew it, but could do nothing...and lots of people wonder why Terri Horman is not in jail...there is hardly anything against her, in comparison, IMO...

OMG! The ME's van just showed up on the scene!

I love what NG does, but today she's workin' my nerve. She needs to get to today's search etc....Instead of rehashing Ramos (IIRC he had a cellmate that tattled on him already)

 

[passionflower]

any twitter links? I searched and came up blank..........
what news stations do we have to go by?

I know, i know.. but i just want to hug her for devoting so much time to the new findings in this case! haven't seen any TH do so yet....

OT: Anderson Cooper will have coverage tonight too. My time zone is way off from most of yours so I don't even know when to tell you he is on there.

Bless the Patz family...I know they are still reeling from the disappearance of their son, even 33 years later. I hope these new developments bring them some measure of closure and peace and that Etan can finally have a proper burial.

It appears that OM may have said something in that recent interview with LE. I hope he confessed and that answers for the Patz family are on the horizon. My thoughts and prayers are with them.

Today's probe, which was reopened by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance in 2010, began with an interview of Miller.

Based on that interview, law enforcement sources said, a dog was brought to the scene as a warrant was drawn up. The cadaver dog got a positive hit for possible human remains. The warrant was served and the preparations for digging began.

This article is 9 hours old.

Authorities from the city medical examiner's office were also on scene to help determine whether any findings are human remains.

It looks like the ME was there most of the day and NOT just arriving while Nancy is on air.

My TV does NOT show "LIVE" for Nancy tonight, even though she says she is LIVE. Her LIVE is earlier in the day.

I saw this news at work today, and knew that y'all would be all over it. Etan went missing when I was a not-quite teenager, and I remember my mom clamping down on my running off on my own for quite a while. I also remember when the first milk cartons came out, with his picture on them. He is one of the reasons why I follow these cases, as he is the first one that I was really exposed to.

If this beautiful boy is there, I am hoping that they can bring him out of the darkness, so that he can finally rest in peace. JMO.

Makes sense to me. Thank you for finding the information.

 

[Patty G]

The scene showing on air now is from daylight hours.

 

[deelytful1]

Nancy's person is saying the dog hit on the scent because either 1) he is buried down there or 2) Etan was killed down there...
Okay HUH? 33 years later a cadaver dog can get a scent if a body is NOT there?

 

[Patty G]

I believe a cadaver dog can pick up the scent even after all these years.

 

[Patty G]

Everyone let's think as positive as we possibly can that Etan is found there!

 

[Kat]

OT: I just googles how many feet it was from Etan's front door to the corner where he was last seen by 2 witnesses. The corner where the lucky brand store is now and where they are digging in the basement. 197 feet. Only 197 feet. (just surprised me is all, just sharing)

 

[Patty G]

I wish they wouldn't talk about informants on air as "some" jails and prisons have TV's.

His school never alerted the Patzes to Etan’s absence, and it wasn’t until 3:30 p.m., when he hadn’t returned, that Julie called their neighbors, wondering if he might be with a friend. Twenty minutes later she called the police.

Most still don't which really annoys me. What happened to school volunteers? Get a list of absent kids and call the parents!

Stan and Julie never changed their phone number either; Etan knew it by heart. And in spiral-bound notebooks they kept detailed logs of every call, no matter how crazy or obscene. Tips came in from around the world. A man said he’d picked up a 21-year-old hitching upstate with a kid he was “almost positive” was Etan. A psychic claimed Etan was alive “in a province of Italy.” Closer to home, the police interviewed scores of people connected to the family—even grilling the Patzes themselves—yet one link would go unseen.

This is a really good piece explaining the Etan Patz case...
