Gosh, had not ever considered McCanns were actors but sure if they can fake Sandy Hoax they can fake anything/who can say is it real or memorex? The McCanns did make quite a bit of $ from their 'tragic' loss.

Did some digging. Pretty surface level but it's something: - Soho in the 70s and 80s is full of artists doing weird stuff https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/traces-of-soho-past-366-v17n3 - For the pedo influences, check out this work by Mike Kelley who was one of the artists in the neighborhood: fairly graphic depiction of adults screwing kid toys - https://www.pinterest.com/pin/370069294358441834/ many inappropriate uses of stuffed animals and a penchant for penises - https://www.pinterest.com/SrgjEmlvcNdn/mike-kelley/ (sorry about the pinterest stuff, it's the best i can do right now) * Keep in mind that these creepers are who Etan was living around.....and his dad was a "photographer" too

• Stuart R. Grabois was the first prosecutor and I'm having a hell of a time finding info on his background
• Next prosecutor was Cyrus Vance Jr, son of former SECRETARY OF STATE Cyrus Vance who shows up in the Podesta emails as a forward to him regarding attendees to the 2014 NY Citizen's Budget Commission (Vance is listed as a "Notable Guest") - https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/54605
• btw, Vance Sr graduated Yale in 1942, went on to craft the law creating NASA, Deputy Defense Secretary, came back from "retirement" bc he was asked by EU to help broker a deal to settle the Bosnian conflict along with David Owen (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Owen))

anyway, bit of a HRC connection. and Podesta and Cyrus Jr both went to Georgetown a few years apart.

no smoking guns or theories here, just putting stuff out in case it helps someone bc i'm running out of time to keep looking.

Patsy #2, btw. Another guy got convicted of it first! A new guy gets dragged out every 10-15 years to take the fall. Wtf.

It's being censored. They're keeping it at the bottom, below posts with fewer upvoats and fewer comments. Censorship is alive and well on voat, not that we didn't know it. But at least it serves to show us when we're on the right track....

In the video LE said that he was their first born, does that mean they had more children? I wonder. I would think that at this point would it not shorten the sentence of convict if he told them where Ethan was? This whole thing just does not pass the smell test.

Personally, imho this is one of the best threads to date. I vividly remember when Etan disappeared and the panic that gripped the nation. Every time you looked at a milk carton the fear was reinforced. His parents were constantly in the news/much like Madeline's parents. And what coincidence it was the last day of school and first time ever he walked alone? Few years ago the case was in the spotlight as a basement was taken apart with jack hammers looking for his body/April 2012. Was this a distraction for something else going on bc the news was non stop with the basement story? Nothing ever felt right about this case/even when it happened a gut feeling, something not being seen. Thank you OP.

I've always had trouble wrapping my head around the idea of all those missing kids and hardly are ever found. Never added up. Like you said, they have to be SOMEWHERE. To quote the great judith scheindlin... If it doesn't make sense, it isn't true....

And now typing this I'm disgustingly reminded of the movie "La Cite Des Enfants Perdues" - The City of lost children. (Jeunet). They turn them into sausages...... :/

This is my though exactly. How sad. We will never know. He could still be alive, but if severely sexually abused, they do not live too long.

He shared the first milk carton with JOHNNY GOSCH! A name they never ever mention.... :(

Mom ran a "small daycare."

Upvoats are being deleted and comments are being deleted (were 25 now 22).

Btw, they are down voting the hell out of this.

YES - I was thinking about this yesterday since it's now in the news again. I hadn't realized that they never found his body, or any trace evidence at all. That poor child was likely kidnapped and trafficked, but I guess they needed to shut down the case. It's just totally absurd, the whole damn thing - and the person they convicted.

In the Wiki info they show a pic of Etan, is he topless? Who supplied that picture? I find it very strange. Really what parent has a picture that looks like it was a posed picture for a photographer done topless? Very odd to me. My buzzer just went off.

Opportunity knocks

I thought it was Johnny Gosch who was the first one to be on a milk carton?

Check out some details here: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/where-etan-patz-vanished-a-sense-of-things-left-incomplete/ar-AAmXyt0?li=BBnb7Kz

Plenty to start looking into. (Sorry, I'm at work otherwise I'd do more. )

It says in the Wikipedia that the guy, Pedro, admitted to strangling the kid, even though they found no evidence other than his confession.
