I want to see more than a twitter account stating the DNA was returned. Anyone see that yet? Links please?

FBI: Person found in Newport isn't Timmothy Pitzen

 

[Marple]

What a disappointment. I hope the young person gets help.

 

[Luckymanuh]

This so sad. I hope this boy was truly a missing boy and may have known of Timmothy and not just a cruel hoax

WTH?

Now can you pass ME the tequila?

 

[greycoupon]

Disappointing.
But WHO is he ?
How did he know answers that only Timmothy might know ? (according to one of Timmothy's relatives)
Did he ever meet him ?

Again, this assertion came from an Inside Edition article and they never actually spoke to the aunt.

Ok Sluethers, who is this boy!?

 

[inmyhumbleopinion]

“According to Newport, Kentucky police the person claiming to be Pitzen is actually 24-year-old Brian Michael Rini of Medina, Ohio. Further information on him was not immediately available.”

He’s not a boy.

 

[JaimeInLA]

Real identity: Brian Michael Rini from Medina Ohio, age 24

 

[chi123]

He’s 24

Brad Underwood on Twitter

Ok, this is just sick. If he was another kid that was kidnapped and led to believe he was Timmothy I could completely understand but a 24 year old man?

Wow.

 

[Irish_Eyes]

It would be a whole new kind of FBI profile for a random car thief to have had the foresight to memorize the details of a missing child's identity in case they ever get caught.

I'm going with that this is either a seriously mentally ill person who set out to do this for the excitement/attention of yesterday, or an especially devious person who was hoping there would be a GoFundMe or something that would get rolling before the gig was up.

Was Amy on good terms with any of her ex-husbands or their family?
(Pitzen was her fourth husband)

In the Crime Watch Daily episode, James says Amy was in contact with one of her ex-husbands and he was angered at this. He told her she could go be with her ex-husband but that he would keep Timmothy with him. This was years before the disappearance though.

The actual name of this person is in this article, but I'm not sure if we can discuss/sleuth it.

Ok Sluethers, who is this boy!?

Brian Michael Rini, from Medina Ohio

He'd have been about 16 when Timmothy vanished, so this guy must have known he wasn't him.

Looks like Mr. Rini has been making false claims for a while (at least 4 years now. This is from 2015)
