"An individual now in custody has made statements to NYPD detectives implicating himself in the disappearance and death of Etan Patz 33 years ago,” Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said in a statement on Thursday morning. “We expect to provide further details later today." The 1979 disappearance of Patz, then 6 years old, traumatized his Soho neighborhood and became one of New York City's most notorious unsolved crimes.
