RIP Leiby Kletzy – Missing in Brooklyn
Sadly, the body of Leiby Kletzy was found murdered and dismembered. RIP Leiby. Prayers for his family and the community who worked so hard to get him back.
I’m angry that this little boy went to someone for help and was hurt by him. There are some seriously sick people in the world. The murderer was a Sephardic man who people in the area knew.
———————————————————-
On Monday night around 4:50 pm, Leiby Kletzy left Boyan Day Camp located on 12th Avenue and 44th Street. He was heading towards 13th and 50th Street, but then was captured on video on 17th and 44th Street.
We went out with a large supply of coffee and searched for him from 11 pm to 2:00 am. Why? Because he’s just 8 years old and his family misses him. Plus we know the surrounding neighborhoods well as we lived in Borough Park, Sunset Park and Dyker Heights. The people in the area have the streets covered looking for him. Besides checking the outskirts of the neighborhood, we went down to Toys R Us and checked there. No sign of Leiby, but there was a missing person sign for him there that we were glad to see.
Leiby is 4 feet tall and about 50 lbs. He has light brown hair and brown eyes. Leiby wears black glasses. He was wearing a blue (or greyish blue) with green and white stripes polo shirt, black pants, black shoe and a black yamaka. He may be carrying a black backpack with writing on the back. There is a $100k reward. See his missing person poster.
If you made a mistake and accidentally took him home, contact me. I’ll help you return the boy to his family. This video (at 39 seconds in shows Leiby at Dahill Road) He may have went into a gold colored 1992 Honda Accord. Let’s get this kid home safe. His 9th birthday is at the end of the month.
Or call NYPD: 800-577-TIPS
Hugs,

Sadly, little Leiby’s lifeless body has been found. I can’t get this little boy out of my mind. I have an 8 year old and I can’t wrap my brain around what this family must be feeling. I wish peace for his family. I prefer not to state what I wish for the person who perpetrated this crime.
