Timeline

1944

Other videos showed the boy walking by Shomrim Locksmith at 44th Street and 15th Avenue, and then along 44th Street at 17th Avenue.

1950

It was the first time that his parents allowed him to walk alone and they had practiced the route the day before; his mother waited for him at a predetermined point a few blocks away at 50th Street and 13th Avenue.

The boy missed a turn upon leaving camp and headed in the wrong direction.

Kletzky's mother called the Brooklyn South Shomrim volunteer civilian patrol to report a missing child at 6:14 p.m. Brooklyn South Shomrim, which says it receives 10 calls of missing children per day, immediately checked candy stores, other shops, and homes of friends and relatives where the boy might have gone.

By 8:30 p.m., Shomrim contacted the New York City Police Department, which declared a Level 1 search.

The police search involved canine units, mounted police, and helicopters.

On Tuesday morning, Brooklyn South Shomrim, together with Shomrim organizations in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, Flatbush, and Williamsburg made an all-out call for volunteers to join the search.

Five thousand Orthodox Jewish volunteers from the local community and from as far away as the tri-state area, joined in a block-by-block search.

Bangladeshi residents of nearby Kensington also joined the search.

State Assemblyman Dov Hikind posted a $5,000 reward for information leading to the return of the child, which was eventually upped to $100,000 by members of the community.

Meanwhile, Yaakov German, a Bobover Hasid and father of Kletzky's yeshiva rebbi, went door-to-door on Tuesday morning with his son to examine videos from surveillance cameras posted in stores and offices along the boy's route.

The videos showed that after leaving his school at 1205 44th Street, between 12th and 13th Avenues, at about 5:05 p.m., Kletzky missed his turn at 13th Avenue and continued up 44th Street.

1979

The case drew comparisons to the 1979 kidnapping of six-year-old Etan Patz from nearby SoHo, who was abducted while walking to his school bus for the first time.

Yehudah Kletzky, known as "Leiby", was the third of six children and only son of Nachman Kletzky and Esti Forster Kletzky, Boyaner Hasidim and residents of Borough Park.

He was reported missing late Monday afternoon while walking home from a day camp held at his school, Yeshiva Boyan Tiferes Mordechai Shlomo.

Kletzky had begged his parents to let him walk home from the camp instead of taking the school bus.

1990

After midnight on Tuesday, police also managed to identify the car in the surveillance video as a 1990 gold Honda Accord.

Forty-five minutes later, two Flatbush volunteers searching for the missing boy in Kensington spotted the car and sent in the license plate number, which matched Aron's details.

Police went to the suspect's apartment in Kensington around 2 a.m. Wednesday morning.

They arrived to an open door, and when they asked Aron where the boy was, he allegedly nodded toward the kitchen, where the police found blood-soaked carving knives and bloody towels in bags.

The boy's severed feet were found in the freezer.

The suspect told police where to find the rest of the remains: in a red suitcase thrown in a dumpster on 20th Street between Fourth and Fifth Avenues.

Aron was taken into police custody at 2:40 a.m. Wednesday morning.

According to a 450-word handwritten statement in which he confessed to killing the boy, Aron claimed that Kletzky had asked him for directions and accepted a ride, saying he wanted to be dropped off at a bookstore.

Aron suggested that they drive together to a wedding in Monsey, New York; they returned around 11:20 p.m. Aron claimed that he planned to return the boy to his family on Tuesday, but when he saw the missing child posters the next day, he said he "panicked", returned to the apartment, and smothered the boy with a towel.

Then he dismembered the body and stuffed it into bags, which he placed in a suitcase and left in a dumpster in another neighborhood.

2011

On July 11, 2011, Leiby Kletzky, a Hasidic Jewish boy, was kidnapped as he walked home from his school day camp in the mainly Hasidic neighborhood of Borough Park, Brooklyn in New York City, New York.

Kletzky's disappearance sparked an all-out search by New York City police and a block-by-block search by up to 5,000 Orthodox Jewish volunteers from New York and other states coordinated by the Brooklyn South Shomrim volunteer civilian patrol.

His dismembered body was found in the Kensington apartment of Levi Aron, aged 35, and in a dumpster in another Brooklyn neighborhood, Greenwood Heights, on Wednesday morning July 13.

Videos from surveillance cameras along the boy's route showed him meeting a man outside a dentist's office and then apparently getting into his car.

The dentist's reception records led police to Aron at his apartment, where he showed them parts of the boy – and told them where he had dumped the rest of the body.

The kidnapping and murder of the eight-year-old boy shocked the tight-knit Brooklyn Hasidic community, whose streets are considered safe.

Aron gave a 450-word handwritten confession to police after his arrest, but pleaded not guilty at his first court hearing.

2012

Before the case went to trial, on August 9, 2012, Aron pleaded guilty to one charge of second-degree murder and one charge of second-degree kidnapping as part of a plea bargain agreement worked out between prosecutors and defense attorneys.

On August 29, Judge Neil Firetog sentenced Aron to 40 years to life in prison.

Aron would be eligible for parole in 2051, which includes credit for time served.

2018

On 18th Avenue, the boy was seen talking to a man who then crossed the street and entered a dentist's office.

When the man came out, Kletzky followed him and appeared to get into his car.

After examining the videos, police located the dentist, who alerted his receptionist, the wife of community political operative Simcha Eichenstein.

She gave them the name and address of the suspect who had come in to pay his bill that day.
