Etan Patz: The missing child who changed America

Image
On May 25, 1979, six-year-old Etan Patz left his apartment in SoHo, New York City, to walk to school by himself. It was the first time he had been allowed to walk alone. He never made it to school. Etan's disappearance was one of the first cases to capture national attention, and it helped to change the way America thinks about missing children. Before Etan, missing children were often seen as runaways or victims of parental neglect. But Etan's case showed that even the most innocent children could be abducted. In the days and weeks after Etan's disappearance, police searched tirelessly for him. They interviewed neighbors, searched buildings, and even drained the Hudson River. But they found no trace of Etan. Etan's parents, Stan and Julie Patz, refused to give up hope. They founded the Etan Patz Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which has helped to find thousands of missing children over the years. The case remained a mystery until in 2012, a man called a hotl...

The Mary Celeste is a brigantine merchant ship that was found adrift and deserted in the Atlantic Ocean on December 5, 1872. The ship was in seaworthy condition and had six months' worth of food and water on board. The crew's personal belongings were also still on board, indicating that they had left the ship in a hurry.
