## Resource

In 1979, six-year-old Etan Patz vanished walking to his school bus stop alone for the first time, a case that put his face on the side of milk cartons and sparked the modern missing-children movement. Forty-seven years later, the U.S. Supreme Court has reinstated the murder conviction of Pedro Hernandez in a 6-to-3 ruling. Vanessa walks you through the case from that spring morning in SoHo to the Court's decision, and what it really decides for confessions, federal authority, and a family still waiting for an answer.
