Hi, my name is Asa Lange, and I would be Timothy's nephew. Occasionally I search around for information about him but I had never found this place before. I made an account just so I could say how grateful I am that anyone has brought his case up in all these years since, and because I feel I should clarify as much as I can, which I will attempt to do now:
The only details I can remember about the day Tim went missing are from what I heard when I was pretty young, but they are that he went missing during a hunting trip and may have run away. Please don't take that as fact though, just fuzzy details from old memories.
Timothy Winter's parents are both still alive, and though I still regularly talk to them we have never really talked about Tim. They had one other child, Joshua Winter, who tragically took his own life when I was nearly too young to remember. Having lost both of their children, I assumed it would be best to never bring it up and focus on the life we still have, but I am starting to think differently now that they have advanced so much in age. That, and years ago they did say they would always be willing to talk about such things with me.
I'd like to thank the people of this website for their efforts both in this case and others, my spirits were lifted when I saw this thread. I will endeavor to learn what I can from my grandparents about Tim and the day he went missing, even if only to gain a little more clarity.
