Prosecutors Seek Third Trial for Suspect in Etan Patz Case

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office has announced that prosecutors are preparing for a third trial in the case of Etan Patz, who vanished on September 19, 1979, while walking to the school bus. The investigation, which began in 1979, has focused on a potential connection between Patz’s disappearance and a man identified as John “Harry” Harper. The prosecution is seeking to re-examine evidence and explore potential new avenues of investigation. They intend to present a case that highlights the lack of definitive answers surrounding Patz’s fate and focuses on the ongoing efforts to understand the circumstances leading to his disappearance.
