Chaim Deutsch of Flatbush Shomrim confirms that the missing youngster was sighted walking alone on a security camera last night at 46th Street and 18th Avenue and that he stopped and asked a lady for directions.
“Clearly he was not abducted coming out of the day camp,” Deutsch told VIN News. “We hope he is lost and are optimistic that someone will find him and bring him home.”
As the day progresses, thousands of volunteers have converged on Brooklyn with everyone hoping to do their part to find the missing boy and bring him home.
Superstar Lipa Schmeltzer told VIN News that he just returned from a trip to Uman when he joined in the search this afternoon.
“I just landed and I hear such a story. How could I go home and not do my part?” asked Schmeltzer. “I am going to go home and kiss my own kinderlach and be mispallel that Leibby gets home safely.”
Echoing the sentiment that so many have expressed during this difficult day, Schmelter praised the community who has come out in full force for the Kletzky family, giving up sleep, work and spending their day in the grueling heat to look for missing Leibby.
“Everybody is so b’achdus,” said Schmeltzer. “It is truly beautiful.”
Does anyone know why Flatbush. The school is on 12th ave. Its much closer to park slope, the lower aves is where the undesirables live. That’s where they need to look.
Basic question: The article reports that Leibby stopped and asked a lady for directions. Have they been able to track down that lady to find out whether Leibby was trying to go home or somewhere else?
