Supreme Court Reinstates Pedro Hernandez Conviction, Creepy Crime and Florida Ma’am

from True Crime Squad · host Kristi Brower

In 1979, six-year-old Etan Patz vanished while walking to his school bus stop in New York City, launching one of the most famous missing-child cases in American history. Nearly four decades later, Pedro Hernandez was convicted based largely on his confession—but years of appeals raised questions about whether that confession was reliable. Today, the U.S. Supreme Court has reinstated Hernandez's conviction, bringing another major chapter in the Etan Patz case to a close. Join us as we break down the disappearance, the investigation, the controversial confession, and the court battle that lasted nearly 50 years.#EtanPatz #PedroHernandez #TrueCrime #SupremeCourt #MissingChildren #ColdCase #CrimeNews #TrueCrimeSquad #Justice #CourtUpdatehttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/supreme-court-etan-patz-murder-conviction-pedro-hernandez/https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/us-supreme-court-restores-conviction-1979-etan-patz-missing-child-case-2026-06-22/https://apnews.com/article/etan-patz-missing-boy-case-hernandez-retrial-296c7cc9169106de2b23b983e3f5c22eCreepy CrimeMan arrested after throwing child into crocodile enclosurehttps://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clyege536n5oFlorida Ma’amWalmart employee, Tameka Hall, busted stealing lottery tickethttps://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2026/06/20/walmart-cashier-accused-of-hiding-winning-lottery-receipt-from-deland-man-deputies-say/https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/store-clerk-allegedly-stole-lottery-ticket-customer-rcna163431 Join our squad!
