A major development has unfolded in the long-running case of Etan Patz, the six-year-old New York City boy who vanished in 1979 and became one of the first missing children to appear on milk cartons. Pedro Hernandez, a former bodega worker, was initially convicted of Etan's murder in 2014, but his conviction was overturned in 2020 due to concerns about the reliability of key evidence. Now, in a stunning reversal, the US Supreme Court has reinstated Hernandez's murder conviction, potentially bringing closure to the Patz family after decades of uncertainty. The high court's decision marks a significant development in a case that has captivated the nation with its eerie echoes of a bygone era.
