The last time he saw his son, Jim
Pitzen watched Timmothy, then 6, hop from his dad's Jeep and bound
toward his kindergarten teacher, saying goodbye to his parents and
swinging his Spider-Man backpack in "this little waddle run, like a
chubby old man," Jim recalls. "I told him I loved him and to be good.
And then … he was gone."
Thirty minutes later on that morning of May 11, 2011, Jim's wife Amy, 42, returned to pick up Timmothy at his Aurora, Illinois, elementary school, citing a family emergency.
Three days after that, police found Amy dead in a motel room in Rockford, Illinois, with self-inflicted slashes on her neck and wrists. Nearby was what police characterized as a suicide note. In it, Amy wrote that Timmothy was "safe" with others who would love and care for him. She added, "You will never find him."
