In the 1970s, when young Aton Pates went missing, the world was a different place. With no social media, children ran freely in the neighborhoods. But for one family, normal life took a tragic turn. The disappearance of Aton Pates became one of New York City’s most baffling unsolved cases for almost 40 years until recent developments shed light on the dark secrets hidden for so long.

Even though Aton’s body was never found, the confession of Pedro Hernandez, a former bodega worker, brought some closure to the Pates family. Pedro’s chilling confession of luring Aton into the bodega basement and strangling him was backed by disturbing details shared with family members and friends over the years. Despite attempts to blame Jose Antonio Ramos for the crime, Pedro was finally found guilty and sentenced to 25 years to life.

Justice was finally served for Aton Pates after decades of uncertainty. His parents, Julie and Stanley, found solace in knowing the truth and finally sold their SoHo loft, moving to Hawaii for a fresh start. The case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of speaking up and sharing information, as it took years for the truth to come to light. As we reflect on the tragic story of Aton Pates, may his memory bring awareness to the dangers that children may face and the need for vigilance and protection.

    WTF! Some humans are absolutely useless. How tf can someone ADMIT/CONFESS to multiple people that he killed a kid and none of them said a damn thing about it!

  • @aroserising

    Bellfonte the e is silent. Thanks for covering all these cases.

  • @caroleking1834

    Surprisingly, I do remember this case and I heard the update. Many years later.

  • @user-kv4db5vr3b

    TEMU Annie??? So much cringe

  • @mingdagreatest

    I’m not sure what that final juror wanted more than a man confessing multiple times … that pissed me off.

  • @mingdagreatest

    The justice system failed these boys so many times. It’s crazy how much minor crimes can land you in jail forever yet sex crimes are just thrown out. It makes you really think about how many of these people are really into harming children.

  • @Peter-pv8xx

    Living and growing up in New Jersey a stones throw away from NYC I remember this case when it happened, it was the lead story on the nightly news for a while.

  • @dorischaron1887

  • @CannaClubINTL

    Temu sister company is banned for selling customers info using keyloggiing on the darkweb. No doubt Temu does the same. Ao no thankyou and you shouldnt have anything todo with them.

  • @alreadytakento74

    You are so good at this, thank you, great episode! 🙏🫶❤

  • @mikehoncho1149

    I mean any sponsor willing to give you a little coin is worth promoting and putting all your subscribers in danger of scams, stolen account info etc.

    While I’m 100% sure you wouldn’t actually risk your financial well being and actually buy from temu we know you don’t by nothing from them lol

    I’d bet a lot of your subs aren’t as well off financial as you are but yeah you getting some extra sponsor money is worth a single mom who subs to you getting their card stolen and wiped out

  • @semiproamoeba5643

    I'm sorry I know everyone is different but I would never let my 6 year old play in my front yard alone let alone walk to school…

  • @QQQRSTUV

    Temu is a Chinese information collection agency that's only goal is to obtain your personal information 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

  • @Cherishwatchpage

    Can you cover jonbenet Ramsey new evidence has been found that could lead to solve the case !

  • @jalinacurandera4543

    RED is sooo your color! ❤

  • @darksoul5643

    Temu is allegedly well known for scamming people, and their sister company is having allegations of scamming people aswell, I’ve seen acouple of customer complaints that their credit cards were completely dry after using Temu to buy something once.

  • @lorifintel9784

    You gotta wonder if all three were involved and passed poor Aton around.😢

  • @lorifintel9784

    Cases like these are why schools started calling parents in the morning if their child didn't come to school and you didn't call in.. this way the police have more of a head start instead pf a whole 8 hours going by

  • @AngieHux

    This case broke my heart, Annie. 😢 I feel so bad for his parents. My Mama had 4 babies in 4 years so as the oldest I had to walk a mile to and from Kindergarten when I was 5. This was in 1967. I'm lucky that nothing happened to me other than slipping on ice and falling down the drainage ditch. My grandfather was driving by just getting home from work and he heard me screaming. I'm lucky to be alive.

  • @michelles.7058

    Wait. What happened to the white, freckled guy? What IF EP is actually childactor Justin Henry. Coincidentally their DOB & DOD are similar. (Actors are know to fudge their DOB to be older or younger) what if they found him moving in box & kept him moving him to Rye.🤷🏼

    Don’t support Temu. They are hacking data using their website.

  • @cassandraboucher7716

    Hi Annie! I absolutely love your channel! I was hoping you’d look at the case of Autumn Hallow. She suffered at the hands of her father and step mom, and I believe her voice and story deserves to be heard! Thank you in advance❤ thank you the voice you give to those who have passed.
