His photo was put on the back of milk cartons throughout the 1980’s. Jose Ramos was a homeless man who was arrested in 1982. He was known to molest kids around the United States. He claimed that he picked up Etan in 1979 and molested him. Police didn’t have enough evidence to arrest Jose who never led them to Etan’s dead body. What happened to the young boy?
