New York: Remains believed to be those of a little boy who disappeared while walking home from a Brooklyn camp were found in a refrigerator Wednesday inside the home of a man being questioned by detectives, police said.

Eight-year-old Leibby Kletzy is shown on grainy surveillance video footage wearing a backpack as he walks down the street. A man who is seen walking near the boy in the video is in custody, chief police spokesman Paul J. Browne said, Other body parts believed to be those of Leibby were found by detectives wrapped in a black plastic garbage bag, inside a red suitcase that had been tossed into a trash bin in another neighborhood in Brooklyn, Browne said.

The 31-year-old man is still being interviewed, police said, and has not yet been arrested on any formal charges.

Leibby was last seen near 44th Street and 12th Avenue in the Borough Park section of Brooklyn just before 5 p.m. Monday. The Hasidic boy was coming home from day camp and was supposed to meet his mother about three blocks away but never showed up.
