Man in custody implicates himself in Etan Patz death

This undated image provided Friday, May 28, 2010 by Stanley K. Patz shows Patz's son Etan who vanished in New York …The New York City police commissioner says a man in custody has implicated himself in the death of Etan Patz, the boy whose disappearance 33 years ago sparked the movement to put the faces of missing children on milk cartons.

Further details would be released later today, Commissioner Raymond Kelly said in a statement.

Six-year-old Etan went missing on May 25, 1979, a while walking alone to his school bus stop for the first time. The bus stop was a block from his home in New York's SoHo neighborhood.

The case received renewed attention in April when when a basement was excavated near where Etan disappeared. However, it yielded no obvious human remains and little evidence that could help solve the mystery of what happened to the boy.
