The NYPD has obtained a signed and videotaped confession from the suspect, Pedro Hernandez, who has now been arrested and charged with the kidnapping and murder of Etan Patz. Although he is at present believed to have acted alone, police are looking into the possibility Hernandez, now 68, might have had accomplices. Among the details Hernandez is said to have given police, was that Patz' body was taken from where he was killed, and thrown away with the trash.Until yesterday, police were looking hard at a different suspect, Jose Ramos, a pedophile who lived near Patz' house, and who was declared responsible for the boy's death in a civil case eight years ago. However, Hernandez' chilling confession led detectives to arrest him as Patz' killer today. If convicted, Hernandez would likely die in prison for his crimes. |
