I'll be very surprised if he's retried.
I feel terrible for Etan's parents.

Pedro Hernandez, the man convicted of abducting and murdering Etan Patz, must be re-tried by June 2026 or he will be released from custody, a federal judge in New York ruled on Friday.
*****
The Manhattan District Attorney's office will be asking the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene and, in the meantime, said it has not decided whether to put Hernandez on trial again.
*****
McMahon gave the district attorney's office until June 1 to retry Hernandez. "If jury selection does not commence by June 1, 2026, Hernandez must be released," McMahon said.

This is terrible. I feel awful for Etan’s parents, they’ve been dealt emotional roller coaster after another for 46 years. That being said, I was never convinced of Pedro Hernandez’s guilt.Man convicted in Etan Patz's murder must be re-tried by June or released: Judge

IMO, he was a fall guy because the police wanted someone in prison for Etan’s case. If Hernandez hadn’t confessed or been tipped off to police by his brother in law, I’m positive they would’ve found some way to get Jose Ramos behind bars for Etan’s presumed death.
I believe Ramos is still a much better suspect for this than Hernandez ever was. He knew where Etan’s bus stop was and dated the woman hired by the Patz family to walk Etan to and from his stop during the bus strikes. He allegedly molested the woman’s son who was similar in age and description to Etan. In fact, most of Ramos’ other victims physically resembled Etan.
All in all, I don’t think Pedro Hernandez is involved in this and I think LE owes it to Etan’s parents to figure out what really happened to their son as well as find tangible proof of his fate.
Who knows, Etan could still be alive. His parents told the media that he was extremely friendly and trusting, even to strangers. What if someone coaxed him into their car that morning and took him to raise as their own? He was quite small for his age, maybe someone mistook him for being slightly younger than 6?
I know Etan knew his home phone number by heart but I still think there’s a chance if someone took him with the intention of keeping him, maybe they conditioned him into believing his parents gave him away or something. This is all speculation but I still think there’s a chance he could be alive.
I hope LE starts taking another look at this case, I know Ramos left the USA so I’m not sure how easy it will be to investigate him now. I’ll always hope for a resolution in his unsolved kidnapping.

Oh man! Imagine if Etan IS still alive! That would be insane! But now that I think about it, when was the last time an age-progressed image of Etan Patz was released?

They haven’t made one for him in years. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children made one showing how he’d look at age 17 in 1989 so it’s been 36 years since.
I believe Etan’s parents asked for them to stop being made because they resigned to the idea that he died in 1979.

I know I’ve posted this here before but I still think it’s worth looking into. On the morning of Etan’s abduction, a woman supposedly saw him conversing with a middle aged man near his home at the time he would’ve been walking to the bus stop.
The witness was hypnotized and provided a detailed description of the man which authorities used to create a composite sketch of the individual. To my knowledge, this man has not been identified.
He is a very puzzling aspect to this case because the individual in question doesn’t resemble Ramos or Hernandez.
