Police did not immediately specify what information Ramos failed to provide.

Jose Ramos, the man who was convicted of murdering Etan Patz almost twenty five years ago, is set to be freed from prison next month.

Ramos was declared responsible for Patz's death in civil court, but could not be charged criminally because of a lack of evidence.
