IL IL - Timmothy Fry-Pitzen, 6, Aurora, 13 May 2011 - mom found dead - #2

[rsd1200]

If you look at the last picture of him in the Easter Bunny ears and then look at today's unblurred picture, I think the two faces are VERY similar given that they have the same expression.

Look at who I believe is his father, in the one photo, and the the young boy in the un-blurred photo. To me, they look similar.

It's REALLY hard to tell from the photo. His frame looks right, and I am guessing they would have ruled out if his eye color didn't match and such.

Thought the same thing as well.

So if this is Timmothy and he has been held captive all these years, I wonder if the cause of death for his mother, was in fact a suicide. It's such a strange case.

 

[nannymo]

Oh PLEASE let it be him....so mom didnt commit suicide, perhaps.

Mom was seen on video without Timmothy prior to her suicide and she left a handwritten suicide note. I do think she really committed suicide.

You definitely think outside the box tho! Who would have ever imagined that it really wasn't a suicide and Timmothy was kidnapped?

My only question when I read the officer's report was all the details that the boy remembered. Being 6 or 7 when he was kidnapped/given/sold or whatever happened to him and then leading what could have been a tough life, I wonder how much he would remember. I remember when Stephen Stainer was found, he said, "I know my first name is Stephen." But I don't remember what age he was when he was kidnapped.

@tatertot pointed out that it's not really clear in the police report if the officer provided those details for context, or if the details came directly from the boy who was found.

I see similarity....I do hope this is him. It would be a long road to recovery, but what a miracle for him to be alive. Whoever it is, they are brave...the bruising indicates abuse so running away had to be terrifying. It seems very telling we aren’t hearing about a missing person report of someone his age.

I read that, but he had to have told the officer what his first and last name was and that he was kidnapped from Illinois. Then, the officer could have filled in the information about his mom's suicide.

To me, the cheekbones look like a match. At least from the angle of the picture we have.

I am certainly no expert, but on first glance I think the brow bone and the chin appear similar, as well.

Going back through the thread. Mom had ties to Ohio.

One recent report stated that DNA testing is currently underway. I sure hope they can expedite it.

Timmothy Pitzen, Chicago-area boy missing for 8 years, possibly found in Cincinnati area

A source says DNA is being rushed to the lab and they hope to have it back at some point Wednesday.

I think he looks older than 14. I really hope he is Timmothy

Oh how I hope this is Timmothy! A six year old would almost certainly remember his name, but I am skeptical he has no other names from being held captive for 7-8 years. I feel like FBI would ask him all the pertinent questions....could he remember his Mom & Dad's given names?

Praying this is Timmothy!

 

[justaparent]

If he had access to the Internet he could have easily found details about his life. Timmothy’s life was featured on a show recently — perhaps the teen saw that.

The mother was seen on video, purchasing stationary prior to her death. She mailed a second letter to her mother. It wasn’t stated as fact (if I recall correctly), but it was implied that she use that stationary for both notes.

That makes it sound like a suicide (ETA: along with other details — removing him from school early, taking him on what seemed to be a last “fun” trip).

If it isn’t Timmothy maybe they can find a DNA match. If it is, I suspect he has not been with the same people the entire time.

Woman says boy found in NKY, possibly missing for years, was acting ‘fidgety’

This article has a photo of the boy that was found today and to me it looks like Tim! Same face shape and chin, similar eyes. IMO

 

[Blurgle]

Let’s keep in mind that even if he isn’t this specific missing child he’s likely a badly traumatized boy. He might even been told that was his name.
