Levi Aron told police that he took 8-year-old Leiby Kletzky to a wedding upstate before allegedly murdering and dismembering him. Kletzky got lost while walking to meet his mother yesterday, and ran into Aron, who says he took the boy to a wedding in Monsey, New York. When they got home at 11:30 p.m., Aron says he felt it was too late to bring the boy home. After working his shift at a hardware store the next day, Aron says he saw missing child fliers plastered to the wall, panicked, and allegedly killed Kletzky. Kletzky's feet were found in Aron's freezer, and the rest of his body was found in a suitcase in a dumpster two-and-a-half miles from his apartment.
