The Federal Bureau of Investigation joined in the search for a missing nine-year-old Brooklyn boy Tuesday night.
Police are using surveillance video to try to piece together what may have happened.
Investigators say Leiby Kletzky was last seen around 5:00 p.m. Monday leaving Boyan Day Camp on 44th Street in Borough Park.

The surveillance video was taken from a nearby locksmith. It clearly shows Kletzky walking by.
Authorities and hundreds of volunteers continued to canvass the area into the night, searching stores, alleyways and backyards.
"Supposed to be my time with my kids, and I can't spend time with my kids knowing someone else's kid is missing," said a parent.
“He normally took a bus down, you know, like every child, he wanted a little bit of independence, wanted to do a little bit of walking on his own,” said Brooklyn Assemblyman Dov Hikind. “So they had decided that they were going to — instead of walking all the way home, the mother was going to meet him just two blocks or so away from the day camp. The day camp is at 12th Avenue and 44th street, and the mother was meeting him at 13th Avenue, just one street over. Never arrived. Never showed up.”
A $100,000 reward is being offered to anyone with information leading to Kletzky's safe return.
He is described as 4-feet-tall, weighing 50 pounds. He was last seen wearing a striped shirt, blue pants and black sneakers.
Anyone with information on the case should contact the the Shomrim Patrol at 1-718-871-6666 or the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS. They can also reach Crime Stoppers by texting CRIMES and then enter TIP577, or visiting www.nypdcrimestoppers.com.
