The boy, Timmothy Pitzen, disappeared while on a trip across suburban Chicago and southern Wisconsin with his mentally troubled mother.
His mother, Amy Fry-Pitzen, unexpectedly checked him out of school early on Wednesday May 11, 2011, and left town. Her husband, the boy’s father, says he did not know about his wife’s plans.
Amy took Timmothy to Brookfield Zoo and two indoor amusement and water parks. Security camera footage from a Wisconsin Dells water park showed the two together on Friday May 13, 2011.
Amy was found dead of a suicide on Saturday May 14 in a Rockford, Ill., motel. She checked in alone the day before.
She left a note saying that her son was fine and she had put him in the care of unnamed individuals.
I hope Timmothy is found safe and sound one day. And that this mystery is put to rest.
