A significant development has occurred in a decades-old case. The Supreme Court has reinstated a murder conviction related to the 1979 disappearance of a young child, Etan Patz, who was 6 years old at the time. The court's decision was made with a 6-3 vote, in favor of an appeal from New York prosecutors.

The prosecutors had sought to reverse a previous decision by a federal appeals court that had overturned the conviction. Further details on this case are available from WXYZ Channel 7, the local ABC affiliate in Detroit.
