Etan Patz, whose 1979 disappearance shocked New Yorkers, was declared dead in 2001, and the 6-year-old’s confessed killer was charged.
But the New York Daily News reports that the FBI asked an American living in Europe if he was Patz.
“Obviously, I was surprised,” the man, who asked not to be identified, said. “I chuckled. I thought it was funny because it was so unlikely that it would be possible that I could be this person. I had no idea who Etan Patz was.”
In fact, the man is 30. Patz would be 41.
It remains unclear why the FBI sought out the man living in Europe.
