'I was just surprised he stooped that low for attention.' The brother of a 23-year-old who falsely claimed he was a teenage boy who went missing nearly a decade ago speaks out. So does the missing boy's grandmother.
This undated photo provided by the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office in Cincinnati shows Brian Rini. A day of false hope has given way to questions about why Rini would claim to be an Illinois boy who disappeared eight years ago. The FBI declared Rini's story a hoax Thursday, April 4, 2019, one day after he identified himself to authorities as Timmothy Pitzen, who disappeared in 2011 at age 6.
Timmothy vanished after his mother, Amy Fry-Pitzen, pulled him out of kindergarten in Aurora, Illinois, nearly eight years ago, took him on a two-day road trip to the zoo and a water park, and then killed herself at a hotel. She left a note saying that her son was safe with people who would love and care for him, and added: “You will never find him.”
“I just hope this young man who claimed to be Tim realizes how much hurt he caused,” Linda Pitzen said. “And now everybody is hurting. And I just don’t understand how somebody could be so sick to do this.” Rini’s brother, 21-year-old Jonathan Rini, told The Associated Press on Saturday that his family struggled while growing up. He said it has been four years since he has spoken to his brother.
