Etan Patz’s killer “confesses”

Over the weekend one of America’s longest-running missing child cases, that of six year old Etan Patz from 1979 in New York, was unofficially solved when his killer confessed at the end of his prison sentence for another crime. Unfortunately, he has only been charged with second degree murder without any additional kidnapping charges on top.

The BBC has the general summary to the story here so we’ll report on any follow-up trial or sentencing when it happens at a later date.

What was different for them? What kind of help or support was available for them as children compared to the others who did suffer from these issues? What kind of trauma were they dealing with? What kind of community did they live in? What resources were made available for them?
