He's on -- to six years old when he vanished in 1979 the FBI forensics teams began.
Ripping up -- basement in the SoHo neighborhood right here in New York City began.
But last week happening again now our next guest had a major role in case pulling all the stops to find a -- sledgehammer.
But does he still think that the right -- is behind bars.
Former news.
Rudy Giuliani just slide -- -- is good morning this has been a case that has mystified this city for over thirty years there is a guy in jail.
And now there's this guy.
Who's -- his basement torn operate you know Brett.
-- -- -- My office -- -- US attorney not just to -- my office got involved in this case like seven or eight years after it happened one of my assistants to -- block.
Who probably is the biggest expert on this case you could have and a -- became very interest -- it got the FBI involved it really was an FBI investigation.
But he brought them in the the FBI re did the entire investigation from one point we -- the East River thinking we were gonna find -- in the East River.
But every lead would turn out well we didn't -- get where we wanted to go.
Not -- Ramos who's in jail than most I could say about that is he ever found guilty by a criminal jury.
He has been found guilty on a on a civil suits.
But a civil case is different than just a preponderance of the evidence in the civil case he took the Fifth Amendment.
The judge used that is an inference against him which you can doing the civil case from -- case you can't do that lets you probably couldn't convict Ramos in a criminal case.
And now this new development I think we're just gonna have to wait and see there is -- -- mean these who knows these could be nothing needs to be very promising if they find a DNA.
The -- they're very very -- -- what they're looking at now for people who haven't called this that closely over the last few days.
This is just about a half block from where a time paid slid right in looking in a basement.
And they're saying that this handyman and this mr.
O'Neal right.
Had seemed a little boy the night before -- and this was a work area of -- where new cement was laid down right after the boy went missing yet.
I don't remember that fact from way back then -- maybe would understand that better.
As to exactly why they didn't do anything about it then or -- they know about that that I do I don't know the answer that one of the comments to his -- put somebody prison next to him.
And they got an informant and said well you know he made a statement of saying -- you could get a body into that water heater.
-- you know those that that said that that's 5050.
I've I've been a prosecutor a long time.
Prisoners' statements in jail.
How about 5050.
Because a lot of the -- talkers well because they think they can get they can get how they think if -- -- -- -- this guy but some incriminating information.
The GAO go to bash me and I'll get out the Parole Board to let me I think I watch that.
You gotta watch that really carefully and particularly case is well known that but I came -- to endorse Romney and.
But the problem.
So -- -- -- so they did it can't -- can't talk about time just as we're gonna turn deployment.
I met I met with that Mitt let last week -- had a very good.
Have breakfast with him we had a very long talk with Chris you've talked a number of times -- this was -- really good long talk okay.
