Federal investigators and New York City police are preparing today to dig beneath the streets near a Manhattan apartment building where 6-year-old Etan Patz disappeared 33 years ago.
The search for Patz has been one of the largest, longest lasting and most heart wrenching hunts for a missing child in the country’s recent history.
Investigators are also reexamining the decades old assumption that Patz was abducted by convicted pedophile Jose Ramos. Ramos, now in prison for an unrelated case, was never charged with Patz’s abduction.
At least two other potential suspects have been examined, sources told ABC News.
Patz vanished on May 25, 1979 in the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan while walking alone to a school bus stop.
Patz became the first missing child whose face appeared on the side of a milk carton.

Do they honestly think they could find him?!?
Explain please the headline. missing “6 yr old” since “1979”.
Bsimcha: He was 6 years old when went missing, and he was 6 years old when he died. His age didn’t change since then. But his body has never been found hence he is still missing.
Bisimcha Tamid- Ever heard of 21 year old scotch? But if it sat in your closet for 10 years then it would be 31 year old scotch.Ummm no. Etan Patz was last seen on May 25th 1979 – WHEN HE WAS 6 YEARS OLD! The case has been ongoing and unsolved for 32 years.
uneeq, the article never said that he died!
