BREAKING: FBI says that the teen claiming to be missing Timmothy Pitzen is not him
The FBI announced today that DNA testing confirms that the teen found in Kentucky on Wednesday who claimed to be a missing child is not him.
"To be clear, law enforcement has not and will not forget Timmothy, and we hope to one day reunite him with his family. Unfortunately, that day will not be today," said FBI Louisville Supervisory Special Agent Timothy Beam in a statement. Days after his disappearance, Timmothy's father, Jim Pitzen, told ABC News he was convinced his son was still alive.
"I said 'I love you buddy,' and he said 'I love you too, Dad, and I'll see you later,' and I'm like 'OK,' and I watched him run off to class," Pitzen told the channel about the last morning he dropped his son off at school. Pitzen told Crime Watch Daily his brother also noted that Amy Pitzen said,"'Timmothy is fine. Timmothy belongs to me. Timmothy and I will be fine. Timmothy is safe.'"
Story continuesThe center has been involved in 50,000 to 60,000 cases in the past five years, and over 3,000 of those saw children recovered after being missing for six months or longer, he said.
