Remains found in fridge may be those of missing Brooklyn boy Leiby Kletzy

Remains believed to be those of a Brooklyn boy who disappeared while walking home from a day camp have been found in the refrigerator of a man seen on video walking near him.

Detectives found other body parts believed to be those of Leiby Kletzy, reported by different media as either 8 or 9, wrapped in a black plastic garbage bag inside a red suitcase in a dumpster in another Brooklyn neighborhood, USA Today reports.

Kletzy was last seen near 44th Street and 12th Avenue in the Borough Park section of Brooklyn just before 5 p.m. Monday. The Hasidic boy was supposed to meet his mother three blocks away but never showed up.

He was shown on grainy surveillance video footage wearing a backpack with the man, 35 — now in police custody, though not yet formally charged — seen walking near him, chief police spokesman Paul J. Browne said.

The authorities arrested three people occupying the same Brooklyn home as the man after the FBI and police kicked the door in, CBS reports.

Among other details about the man, reported by USA Today on Wednesday, are that:

He lives alone in his apartment, in a building shared with his parents. The man, whose birthday is Wednesday, once had a summons for urinating in public but otherwise did not have a criminal record.

He also reportedly made statements implicating himself in the crime, Browne said, without going into detail.
