Arrest of man tied to 1979 Etan Patz disappearance
A former New Jersey convenience store worker, Pedro Hernandez, 51, was arrested on a murder charge in the 1979 disappearance of six year old Etan Patz. He confessed to luring Patz at a bus stop, taking him to a nearby store, and killing him in a basement. Police say Patz’s body was placed in trash and may never be found. Hernandez, who moved to New Jersey after the crime, is married with a teenage daughter and had worked at the store briefly.
