Night Watch: Etan Patz Started a Movement, But Will His Killer WALK FREE?

About this episode

In 1979, six-year-old Etan Patz vanished on his way to the school bus in New York City, becoming one of the first missing children ever featured on milk cartons. Decades later, Pedro Hernandez was convicted of his murder. But this summer, a federal court overturned that conviction, ruling he deserved a new trial. Now, prosecutors are taking the fight to the U.S. Supreme Court in a final push to restore the verdict in a case that changed how America searches for its missing children.
