I've put this boy's picture next to pictures of Timothy's parents and the early pictures and age progression picture of Timothy.
Hope this works.

Thank you for that. Looks like a match. I so hope so.

On the edge of my seat here in UK.. it’s 5.20pm here so it’s gonna be a long wait!
Hoping this is Timmothy, I’ve followed his story and always thought his mother gave him to someone. Fingers crossed his family get the best news.

I really wish I hadn’t spent all last night re-reading the thread. If I hadn’t it would give me something to do while waiting now. It’s not like I am getting any work done, lol.

 

[Bravo]

It really does look like a match. I hope it is as well.

There was this case of brother and sister abduction, the girl survived it..

No it's another case. Not a stranger abduction. A friend abducted the kids from their mom. I guess it was sister's!

Hi all,
First post on Websleuths.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if this was Timmothy, but I must say I have some reservations.
He seems to be fully aware of who he is, where he was from and the circumstances around his disappearance. But if he was separated from his family at such young age, I wonder how much information he would actually be able to retain for 8 years. You would assume the people who kept him would try to conceal who is was and feed him information that would make it hard for him to find his way back to his family.
I myself dont have too many clear memories from 6 yrs old, and the ones I have have been reinforced thru pictures and talking/reminiscing with my family. Without that I am not sure how much I would remember..

Welcome to WS!

Agree. He was 6 yrs old and probably in first grade when he went missing, not a toddler. He would have already learned to read and write, including his own name. JMO, it seems highly plausible he would still remember who he is and what happened to him.

He was in kindergarten when he went missing. His mom picked him up from school early and they went on their weekend adventure before his mom was found deceased in Rockford IL.

I have a lot of very clear memories from that age. Everyone is different.

Wow, it’s been so long since I thought of this case.
I can’t believe this is happening!!! Oh the anticipation....

Replying to my own post:
That's making the assumption that the father's paternity is/was never in doubt.

Stopping in here quickly--- sorry if this was discussed :
Can they do a maternal dna test ? Assuming there's close relatives on the Fry's side ?

Timmothy’s neighbors saved his bike. Heartbreaking..

Wow.

I just went back to my bosses office, to inform him I would be accomplishing little today, as I am obsessing over DNA results.
He understood. He knows who I am.

I never posted on his threads, but I'm in Chicago, and followed closely when he went missing. I think it's him. I can't stop thinking about him!

If the DNA test comes back negative I hope that LE will still try to help him as much as possible. No matter the outcome a 14 y/o terrified, beat up kid is never a good situation.

Exactly. If this isn't Timmothy, there is a new mystery to solve.

Aurora PD says they will have an update late this aft. or early evening. Per live interview so no link. It will be a presser.

JMO and not verified at all, but I assume they are comparing his DNA to the mother's DNA found at the murder/suicide scene, depending on what your stance is.

Aurora, not Cincinnati.
That gave me goosebumps.

I'm glad we can stream HLN on SiriusXM. Just now they said "later this afternoon" so I don't think an announcement is imminent.

The world needs more bosses like yours

They could be using the father's DNA to compare.
