Etan Patz

Opening arguments began on Wednesday in the retrial of a man accused of the 1979 abduction and murder of a six-year-old New York boy, a case that still haunts millions of American parents.

A New York judge on Monday scheduled a retrial next year in the 1979 kidnapping and murder of a six-year-old boy that continues to haunt millions of American parents.

A former convenience store worker confessed to luring 6-year-old Etan Patz from his school bus stop in 1979 and choking him to death in a basement, police said Thursday, ending a three-decades long investigation into one of the nation's most baffling missing-children cases.

He was America's missing child, the little boy who went off to school alone and vanished. A renewed investigation into the 1979 disappearance of 6-year-old Etan Patz in New York City recalled the years when printed images of missing children appeared on milk cartons.
