And will the PC be on HLN? TIA

I'm sure all of the news networks will cover it. Take your pick.

Thank you, JanetElaine.

Continuing with articles for quick reference:

From the last thread:
Alright I’m going to use this post to start adding all the media I can in this case for reference. Post in progress for the next hour as you will see more links appearing.

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”.

Thank you Margarita for all your hard work!

Doubtful. They’re already on canned programming for the day. They’re only HLN for a few hours anymore. (Which annoys me, can you tell lol)

Thanks I forgot they go to programming later in the day.

 

[JaneEyre]

Since I will be at work until 8:30 pm central time, I’m really hoping a fellow poster will message me when the results are released (hint, hint), as my phone will do a little ping-ping if I get a message, which will alert me to find a way to check the thread.

UPDATE: This is
#TimmothyPitzen’s childhood bike. A neighbor says his father gave it to them after the then 6-year-old went missing. Neighbors anxiously await if DNA test confirms his identity. @fox6now

Thanks I forgot they go to programming later in the day.

I came back into my office and did a double-take hearing them talk about Charles Manson. I thought HLN went as wild as this thread for a second.

 

[JanetElaine]

It's getting to be my bedtime here shortly... I was really hoping they'd have something before then, since they've been saying "afternoon or early evening". Now I'm at risk of staying up too late because 'what if I just miss it'. How dare they be so inconsiderate.

 

[Bravo]

Gotta go folks. Fingers crossed until I get back here later tonight

one of our local reporters is doing FB live on this case as she travels to Aurora. Amanda Henderson with newschannel 20 and Fox

COLD CASE SOLVED? We are on our way to Aurora, IL where Timmothy Pitzen lived as a child. We are awaiting DNA results to see if a 14-year-old child claiming to be Timmothy is indeed him.

 

[Trudie]

I think you mean you almost die 2-3x weekly.

Yeah, both begin with D, end with E.
Thinking how infrequently I see pedestrians, lol.
I guess we all hoped we’d know by the 4pm hour.
Maybe after 5 or tomorrow?

Can't link it from my phone but Charley Project lists Timmothy's middle name and date of birth. That info has been available to anyone for years.

If she really passed him off to someone, why would he believe she is missing? Wouldn't he be more likely to think she was ill with a kindergarten minds definition of ill?

Aurora LE would do the presser because they have jurisdiction of Timmothy's case.

Unless when she handed him off, she told him she would be back for him or these are his babysitters or something?

Oh, I hope this is true!

Lord I hope this is true! I hope the aunt isn't just referencing the middle name and birth date thing though because all that is public record.

Oh no. It changed? Or are they both having pressers? If it's only in Cinci, it might not be good news.

 

[tlcya]

I so hope this young man is Timmothy. I remember the case and always had the horrible thought that his mother had lied and that she had killed him before taking her own life. I would really like to be wrong on that count. What a wonderful blessing for his family if this is Timmothy!

 

[Hatfield]

DNA is great and all (i.e., Golden State Serial Killer capture), but its times like this I want my fingerprints, footprints, and dental records.
