11. Maybe, but who says it would have been the murderer?

You're not right on this. The Etan Patz disappearance was a very big deal in New York and the cops absolutely wanted to close the case.

As they are trying to do now, on the basis of a confession that is prima facie dubious. They made a big deal in recent weeks about searching someone else's basement, and found nothing.

Then a dying, mentally ill man steps forward with an unsolicited confession and it's hey ho! Case closed!

Vote Commissioner Kelly for Mayor in 2013!

(He dumped the body in a box - or plastic bag - on the street? And then it was gone?)
