Could Camden police have been holding a key clue to help solve the murder of New York missing child Etan Patz?

According to the suspect's sister, police had all the information they needed more than 20 years ago.

FOX 29's Dave Schratwieser spoke with Norma Hernandez about her brother, 51-year-old Pedro Hernandez, who has been charged with the 1979 murder.

Norma Hernandez says her brother confessed to the killing at a church prayer group back in the 1980s.

As soon as she heard, she went to police. But she says they never followed up.

"When I heard the comment about my brother had confessed in the church about he did something to a little boy, that he strangled and put him in the trash, as soon as I heard that I went to the Camden police," she said. "… Nobody never contacted me all those years. I waited, and nobody ever contacted me. That's all I did."

Norma Hernandez says her brother never told her directly that he killed the boy, but she believes he should face justice.
