From the Archives: 2001 Etan Patz Declared Legally Dead

Missing 6-year-old New York City boy Etan Patz is declared legally dead. “This is a sad day for the Patz family, it really is a sad day for New York, but it is also a very important day for bringing accountability to Jose Antonio Ramos,” the Patz family attorney said. Ramos has long been the main suspect in the case. He is serving time for a separate case in Pennsylvania.
