UPDATE (2 p.m.): There are currently mumblings at the scene on Prince Street that a cadaver dog was brought in. The NYPD and FBI aren't currently commenting, but according to Joey Boots, who is there, there is some activity under the evidence tents. He also says, "legit scoop from a very reliable source... cadaver dog signaled a hit in basement and now they are digging."
 
Thank you so much for this, Kat. I can't even imagine knowing that he may have been a block away all along.

The reporter on HLN said they still live in the neighborhood. My heart sure is with them and their other children right now! So sad.

ohmygod....i wonder if they've found him.......on the edge of my seat......
 
I watched HLN coverage (that was the channel that was covering it earlier) and don't take this as a quote but I am pretty sure I heard that this is the same basement that had the art studio and the area where people gathered to have sex as well.

(People that have followed this case will know what I'm talking about) Just sharing what I am pretty sure I heard.

Investigators believe that the basement, which housed a wood shop and art-storage space at the time of Etan’s disappearance, was also a known meeting place for sexual liaisons at the time.

Hes the one that enticed that boy to come closer that morning before the bus got there. It was his first morning walking alone to the bus stop and he was so excited and mom watched him until he turn the corner.........I remember now.

THE ABOVE ALL MOO AND SPECULATION ON MY PART. NOTHING POSTED AS BEING FACT UNLESS OTHERWISE KNOWN TO BE.,
 
How Tragic :(

Not familiar with details of this case going to get caught up.....
 
From end of video:

Reporter: ...we don't know the whereabouts of the handyman; police are checking
 
So Mom , bless her heart, "watched him until he turned the corner, 150 feet away from the bus stop". Was that the corner where this handyman would be standing?
 

At the end of the video Shep asks where the whereabouts of the handyman is. Well----being the nosy WS I am and I'm sure other's have already looked---it looks like if he hasn't recently passed away that he's in Brooklyn. He has at least one arrest for driving without/or suspended IIRC because I saw his mugshot. lol.

Not going to put his info here. It's on the internet. Will wait until more info comes from LE. JMHO
 
Oh Etan. I pray your long, lonely journey is nearing its end.

I grew up looking at childrens faces on milk cartons because of you. Truthfully, it's not too much of a stretch to think that I'm as interested in missing persons cases because of you.

I wonder if your case, and subsequent milk carton campaign, has spawned a generation of people dedicated to the cases and causes of the missing.

Circumstances of Disappearance

Patz was last seen walking to a bus stop in New York City, NY on Prince Street and Wooster Street at approximately 08:00.

He was en route to school; it was the first time he walked to the bus stop on his own.

Jose Ramos, a known pedophile currently serving time in a Pennsylvania prison for child abuse charges, is the prime suspect in Patz's disappearance. Ramos was a drifter and former mental patient who had a history of luring young boys while traveling across the United States in the 1970's. Ramos was in New York City at the time of Patz's disappearance and was an acquaintance of a former employee of the Patz family, a woman who escorted Etan to school during a short-lived bus-strike in 1979.

The police believe Ramos may have been stalking her, that leading him to Etan. He also claimed he was with a child fitting Patz's description the day the boy vanished. He states that he approached the boy by saying he was a friend of the woman who used to work for the Patzes.

A former cellmate of Ramos' claimed that he confessed to Patz's abduction and murder in 2000, claiming that he killed him and that authorities never will find the body. The Patz family filed a wrongful death civil suit against Ramos and in May of 2004 the judge ruled that Jose Ramos is responsible for the disappearance and presumed death of Etan Patz. The judge declared Jose R. Ramos responsible for the boy's death because he disobeyed her orders to answer deposition questions under oath for a lawyer representing Etan's parents.

Patz has never been located.

I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that Etan was an only child. I tried googling but couldn't find anything one way or the other.
