Let's all hope this is Timmothy and we will have the answers soon. In the meantime, do not send the thread off the rails.
 
I think this was supposed to become Timmothy's media thread back in 2011:

IL - IL - Help Find Timmothy Fry-Pitzen

Here's the original profile of his missing person's case:

IL - Timmothy J. Fry-Pitzen (6) - Aurora IL, 2011

Here's the link to thread #1 (we are currently in thread #3):

IL - IL - Timmothy Fry-Pitzen, 6, Aurora, 13 May 2011 - mom found dead - #1

Link to thread #2:

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

The latter three are closed to new comments.
 
Maybe the Mom didn't commit suicide was made it to look like one so they could kidnap Timmothy. Praying it is him but cannot imagine what he has gone through all these years : ( Praying if it is him that with the love of his family and counseling he starts his journey to healing.
 
It's hard to say if the waiting means anything or not. Here in Iowa, in the last couple of high profile cases, LE has held things close to the vest. Frustrating, but what can you do?

We know mom committed suicide:
1. She is on video buying the paper she wrote the suicide note on, alone.
2. The hotel room was locked with a chain from the inside.
3. She slit her wrists. That's not how a murderer generally kills. She likely would have struggled and there was no sign of a struggle.
4. She was mentally ill and off her meds.
5. There are no reports of anyone seeing anyone other than her in that hotel room.
 
Just my opinion but given the mysterious circumstances of Amy's death, I am sure LE fully investigated it and looked for any evidence that it was a homicide. But they didn't find any evidence of a homicide and a trained medical examiner ruled her death a suicide.

I do think she could have been tricked into giving up her son to less-than-trustworthy people who took advantage of her mental state and may have even encouraged her to kill herself. We have seen pedophiles groom mothers to take advantage of their children more times than we can count.
 
Gawd I have to hit the shower soon. We have a dinner to attend this eve. So you can be assured that news will break when I am away. Waiting with baited breath as we all are. I soooo want this to be him.

Thank you, JanetElaine.

Continuing from the last thread:


These articles will all be out of order for now as I start pulling stuff together; as our Late Great @Foxfire would say, “In order to connect the dots you have to collect the dots”.

FBILouisville and
@FBICincinnati
are actively coordinating with the Newport PD,
@CincyPD
, Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office, and
@AuroraPoliceIL
on a missing child investigation. There will be no further statement made on this matter until we have additional information.
