EP 80: The Disappearance of Etan Patz and the Legacy of the Missing Children Milk Carton Campaign (with Luminol Podcast)

This week on Hashtag History, we are joined by Caitlin and Sarah of Luminol Podcast as we discuss the disappearance of Etan Patz and the legacy of the Missing Children Milk Carton Campaign. Etan Patz was a six-year-old boy who went missing in 1979 as he was walking to his school bus. It wouldn’t be until several decades later that his murderer would be apprehended and tried for his crimes.

What many people don’t realize is that it was this case - the disappearance of Etan Patz - that launched the Milk Carton Campaigns of the early 1980s in which images of missing persons were placed on the sides of milk cartons. It was also this case that led to the establishment of National Missing Children’s Day and even laid the foundation for Amber Alerts which we are all very familiar with today.
