Teen’ who claimed to be missing Timmothy Pitzen is actually a 23-year-old man with a criminal history

Days ago, a "teenager" was found wandering and he claimed he was Timmothy Pitzen, the boy who went missing in May 2011 at age 6. But the FBI has now discovered that he is actually a 23-year-old man with a criminal history.

Police found him wandering the streets in Kentucky on Wednesday. He said he was 14, his name was Timmothy Pitzen, and he was kidnapped as a child. He claimed he managed to escape his kidnappers and run across a bridge into Kentucky.

But DNA tests proved the person is actually Brian Michael Rini, a petty criminal from Medina, Ohio.

The real Timothy Pitzen went missing in May 2011 at age 6. He was last seen alive with his mother, Amy Fry-Pitzen, who was found dead in a motel room in Rockford, Illinois on May 14, three days after she checked her son out of his kindergarten class.

A suicide note was pinned to her body. It read, "You will never find him."

Police say the note was penned by Fry-Pitzen. The note said the boy was safe and with people who would care for him, but that he would never be found.

When the "teenager" was found and he claimed to be the missing child, Timmothy's family, especially his grandmother, were hopeful and awaited the DNA results to prove he was Timothy. He even gave Timmothy's correct middle name. Sadly, the DNA results showed he wasn't Timothy and the family's hopes have been dashed yet again.

"It's been awful, said Timmothy's grandmother Alana Anderson. "I feel so sorry for the young man who's obviously had a terrible time and felt the need to say he was someone else."

Police say Rini has a criminal record dating back to 2013. His charges include passing bad checks and ID theft. It isn't clear why the police didn't run his fingerprints to identify him.

Police say they are considering filing charges against Rini.

The Director of Defence Information, Major Gen. John Eneche, who spoke at a press forum in Abuja, admitted that there was a mix-up on the information about the capture or death of the Boko Haram leader because of the various faces used by Shekau. The Defence spokesman also said although the” real Shekau” has not been captured, the military is on the hunt for him and would soon capture him. Eneche: “There were so many Shekau faces, that was what was responsible for that but we will get the real thing, we have now come to know that the real Shekau is yet to be apprehended, so that is the truth, when Osama Bin Ladin was killed, they went further to do a DNA test, that was what happened.
