More than 30 years after a 10-year-old boy disappeared while riding his bike in Brentwood, Maryland, authorities say they have new answers.⁠
⁠
George “Junior” Burdynski went missing on May 24, 1993. He was never found.⁠
⁠
The FBI and Prince George’s County police will announce Thursday that they arrested a man in Burdynski’s murder: 61-year-old Joseph Lynch, law enforcement sources tell News4.⁠
⁠
Lynch has been in jail since May on charges of sex abuse of a minor, Maryland court records show.⁠
⁠
Over the decades since Burdynski’s disappearance, the search uncovered pedophiles who preyed on children in Brentwood, authorities have said. Lynch was one of three men tied to a group of pedophiles, but police were never able to connect him to Burdynski’s disappearance.⁠
⁠
It wasn't immediately clear what new evidence authorities have on Lynch.⁠
⁠
Burdynski would be 44 today. He was last seen riding a small red bike, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children says.⁠
⁠
Burdynski’s tragic disappearance has been one of the highest-profile missing child cases in the D.C. area in decades.⁠
