NYPD: Man in custody in Etan Patz disappearance Updated at 8:34 a.m. (CBS News) A man was in custody in the decades-old case of missing 6-year-old boy Etan Patz, New York police said Thursday morning, nearly 33 years to the day since he disappeared in downtown Manhattan. CBS News senior correspondent John Miller reported on "CBS This Morning" that the man, who New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said made statements "implicating himself" to investigators, was Pedro Hernandez, a storekeeper in the neighborhood where Patz vanished. Hernandez was not considered a major suspect at the time of the disappearance, Miller reports. He has not been charged in the case. Hernandez allegedly made admissions about his involvement in Patz's disappearance Wednesday to investigators in Camden, N.J.; however, everything he allegedly admitted to were details available in books and media reports, Miller reports. As of Wednesday night, Hernandez had not provided details that haven't been available in the public record, such as the location of Patz's body, Miller reports. New York police expect to provide further information on the development in the case later Thursday. After vanishing May 25, 1979, while walking by himself for the first time to his school-bus stop, Patz sparked a national outcry over missing children, becoming the first missing child whose picture was put on the side of a milk carton. Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance reopened the search for Patz in 2010. In April, police and the FBI spent days digging up a basement in Patz's SoHo neighborhood looking for clues, CBS New York station WCBS-TV reports. Sources told CBS News then that cadaver dogs had indicated the presence of human remains during a search there. Investigators hauled away a container filled with debris from the dig, WCBS-TV reported then. The container was taken to a landfill on Staten Island for preservation. The day before Patz vanished, he came home with a dollar from Othniel Miller, now 76, a neighborhood handyman who used to pay Patz when he helped with small chores. Miller had a workshop in the basement that was searched. Just after Etan disappeared, a new concrete floor was put down. Sources told WCBS-TV at the conclusion of the basement search that no skeletal, teeth or other human remains had been found. Patz was officially declared dead in 2001 in a civil lawsuit filed against Jose Ramos. He is a convicted child molester serving time in prison. His girlfriend used to babysit Patz. Ramos has denied killing the boy.
