Believed by who to have cannibalized? Superm401 | Talk 02:39, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
Jailhouse informant without a shred of evidence.
[edit] Etan Patz
I have corrected a number of factual mistakes in this entry about the disappearance of my son, Etan. In addition, I spoke with investigators and then deleted some lurid speculation concerning his death.

[edit] Removed speculation
I took out the following:
"The fact the the New York prosecutor alone would allow another innocent victim to not be prosecuted, shows a side of the prosecutor out to make a name. Is Patz more important than the other child he wouldn't have prosecuted if Ramos had admitted the Patz crime.
Also it should be noted Ramos was only 90% sure the boy he was with was Patz. And that was long after the crime first happened."'
The first sentence seems to me like unverifiable speculation re: the prosecutor's motives; I can't even decipher the meaning of the second sentence; and the third is unverifiable.
I apologize if I've stepped on anyone's toes or committed any other wiki-offenses; this is my first edit under this account and approximately my third or fourth overall edit. I'm still learning. Gladys j cortez 02:29, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Removed more speculation
I do not understand the motivations of the anonymous person who added speculative and incorrect information about how Stuart GraBois, the Asst US Attorney, handled the informants and the investigation back around 1990.
Why should "It ....be noted in fairness, Ramos has never been charged with any other murder or attempted murder."? (Should it be noted that he was never charged with jaywalking or tax evasion?) Why be "fair" to a serial pedophile, who has scarred the lives of countless children and then make incorrect allegations against the man who got him off the streets?

We are to refrain from libelling anyone, regardless of how badly they seem to deserve it. Publicly accusing someone of murder could be construed as libel. It behooves us to be "fair" to everyone. Any information posted must be verifiable, and Ramos has not been convicted in connection with this case. The crimes for which he has been convicted as well as his defeat in civil court have been duly noted. His involvement in this incident, if any, is not a documented fact, which is reflected in the article.71.63.119.49 03:27, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
