Nancy Grace's Cold Cases
5 November 2009
Etan Patz's case galvanized the missing children's movement, raising awareness of child abductions. The 6-year-old vanished one morning in 1979 while walking to his school bus stop in New York's SoHo neighborhood. It was the first time he set off on the trip by himself.
Etan became the iconic boy on the milk carton, one of the first children to be featured in that 1980s campaign. Thirty years later, the case remains an open investigation, with no official suspects.

'There was a stench of death': Police search apartment of handyman who befriended missing milk carton boy Etan Patz - 33 years after his disappearance shocked America
The stench of death detected by a police dog led police to a New York City basement on Thursday, where they are searching for the remains of a missing boy who disappeared more than three decades ago.
Etan Patz was six years old when he went missing after leaving his home in New York's SoHo neighborhood on his way to school on May 25, 1979. He was the first missing child to have his picture printed on milk cartons.
New York police officers and FBI agents were searching the basement underneath a clothing store for Etan's remains -- blood or pieces of his clothing -- throughout Thursday -- just a block away from where he went missing 33 years ago.
The basement was home to Othniel Miller, a handyman who had befriended the boy. Investigators questioned the Miller again recently, and as a result of those discussions decided to refocus their attention on the building, according to the law enforcement official.
Etan was finally declared legally dead in 2001, though no trace of his body has ever been found and the case remains unsolved.
He was last seen walking two blocks from his lower Manhattan home to a bus stop for the ride to school wearing his favorite Eastern Air Lines Future Flight Captain hat - something his parents said he would even wear to bed.
It was the first time his parents had let their son walk to school alone, after he begged them, saying all his friends were allowed to do it.
In May 2010, the Manhattan district attorney’s office said they were taking a fresh look at the decades-old case of the missing six-year-old.
Police didn't say what led to the building, but sources revealed a police cadaver dog picked up the scent of human remains there.
NYPD spokesman Paul Browne says the building being searched is about a block from where the family lived.
He says the excavation is the result of a recently-ordered review of the case by the Manhattan district attorney and that they expect to be at the site for two to three days, examining a space that now sits beneath a clothing store.
He said: 'We're looking for human remains, clothing or other personal effects of Etan Patz. It's a very painstaking process.'
Authorities didn't say what evidence led them to that location but a source said that in May 1979, the building housed the workspace of a carpenter who was thought to have been friendly with the young boy.
Two law enforcement officials confirmed that an FBI dog had picked up the scent of human remains after police received the tip off that led them to the building.
The 13-foot by 62-foot basement space being searched today sits beneath several clothing boutiques.
The building has undergone renovations over the decades, and Browne said investigators began by removing drywall partitions so they could get to brick walls that were exposed back in 1979 when the boy disappeared.
The excavation was part of a review of the case, recently ordered by the Manhattan district attorney, Browne said.
'This was a shocking case at the time and it hasn't been resolved,' he said.
Etan was the subject of one of the most extensive missing-child searches ever.

NO sign of missing Etan Patz as FBI ends search of suspect's basement - but could boy's silent sister hold key to his disappearance?
The FBI wound down its search for Etan Patz's remains today as it emerged they believe his older sister could have a vital piece of information that will lead them closer to her brother's killer.
Shira Patz was eight when Etan disappeared from the streets of New York on May 25, 1979.
Two men who lived and worked close to the Patz family, on Manhattan's Prince Street, are the chief suspects in the case - Jose Ramos, who is serving time in a Pennsylvania jail for the sexual abuse of two other boys, and Othniel Miller, who police have been zeroing in on after his ex-wife told them he raped his ten-year-old niece.
An FBI source told the New York Times that Shira Patz has stopped answering questions about her brother, but is seen as an important witness because they believe if any strangers offered any inappropriate advances against Etan, he would have told her.
Agent Thomas MacDonald, who took over the case more than five years ago and was met with initial resistance from Etan's mother Julie, interviewed Shira to find a new way into the investigation but she is said to have 'shut down' under his direct interview style.
FBI and police authorities were today winding down their work at the site in Manhattan. Chief police spokesman Paul Browne says the case remains a missing-person investigation, but authorities found no obvious human remains.
Othniel Miller has been questioned several times by police in the last month after his ex-wife told them about the alleged rape of his niece. Julie Patz was also said to have told agents to look again at the handyman, who befriended Etan before he vanished and hired Ramos to do odd jobs for him.
During one interview, agents watched the75-year-old as he grew aroused while he looked through a book of images of children, two law enforcement officials told the Times.
When authorities told him cadaver dogs picked up the scent of human remains at his basement he allegedly blurted out: 'What if the body was moved?'
Paper, strands of hair and other 'possible' bits of forensic evidence have been unearthed during the excavation of the basement but so far 'nothing conclusive' has emerged.
Chief suspect in the case since the 1980s Jose Ramos initially told police he attempted to molest Etan but denied killing him. He dated the six-year-old's babysitter and was said to know every stop on the school bus route - and specifically which stop Etan got off at.
But Agent MacDonald, who re-interviewed all the original witnesses and all the agents who worked on the case, said he was open to ideas that it was not Ramos.
Part of their thinking, the official told the Times, is that with his other victims, Ramos earned their trust before he molested them and was often seen in the company of children.
The FBI have not been able to find any witness that can establish any form of relationship between him and Etan.
'If you look at that pattern of behavior and apply it to Etan, you have to assume there will be a prior relationship, and it’s just not there,' the official told the paper.
