Patz vanished on the first day he was allowed to walk to the school bus stop by himself on May 25, 1979. He was one of the first missing children to be pictured on milk cartons in a case that drew national attention.
President Ronald Reagan later declared May 25, 1983, the first National Missing Children's Day in memory of Patz.
