A former SoHo store clerk was convicted Tuesday of murdering 6-year-old Etan Patz, resolving one of the city’s most notorious unsolved crimes after nearly 40 years.
A Manhattan jury found Pedro Hernandez guilty of luring the child into the basement of a bodega as Etan walked alone to his school bus stop for the first time — and then strangling the boy on May 25, 1979.

Finally.
Mentally ill, very low IQ man confesses 30+ years later? It may be that he was the killer, or maybe not.
Considering all the mistakes made in this case it is amazing that he was convicted. He is very guilty and should be punished.

Does anyone have details of this case? It may remotely connect to the Cary Sayegh kidnapping in Las Vegas in 1978 which happened one month after Jack Gordon and Sol Sayegh tried to bribe Harry Reid.
The connection is mafioso Matty “the Horse” Ianniello,a heavy in the New York Genovese who put on a show searching for Etan Patz. Ianniello has ties to Jack Gordon, who married LaToya Jackson and had her followed by Ianniello’s thugs. Jack’s brother Terry ran all the low end Las Vegas porn arcades, while Ianniello ran all the New York gay clubs for the mafia.
So the question is, was Hernandez linked somehow to Ianniello, maybe through the bodega where he worked? Were Etan Patz’s parents somehow subject to coercion by Ianniello?
I know this conjecture is a stretch, but trust me, the Harry Reid investigation has now taken me down many sick mafia paths.
wow! I vaguely remember hearing of this while growing up. Good if some justice happening.
