Summary

When 6-year-old Timmothy Pitzen was picked up from school by his mother, it seemed like the start of a surprise adventure. Over the next two days, the pair visited zoos, waterparks, and hotels across Illinois and Wisconsin. Then, Timmothy’s mother was found dead in a motel room, leaving behind a note that said her son was safe but would never be found. More than a decade later, the question remains: what really happened to Timmothy Pitzen?

0:00.0	Hello everyone. What is up? Welcome back to another exclusive episode of Killer Instinct. Thank you guys so much for joining me here today. I hope you all have been having a great week. I hope you had a great weekend. And thank you for joining for another
0:22.8	exclusive episode. I'm very eager to jump into today's case with you guys. This was actually
0:28.4	a case that was requested by one of you here on Patreon. I do want to say again, if you ever
0:34.3	want to request a case, if you want to throw a case suggestion out there, we do have
0:40.1	a case suggestion tab within the chat on Patreon. So if you go over there, you can always type in
0:46.9	your request or your suggestion. It's where I always look first before I do my own digging and
0:52.1	my own research to figure out what case I want to present to you guys.
0:55.2	I always look to see what cases you want to see first.

1:18.5	present it to you today because I learned that I don't think that I have covered it before.
1:22.3	And this case truly is absolutely heartbreaking. It is frustrating and you leave with probably more
1:30.0	questions than you have answers at the end of it. But I want this to be an ongoing discussion.
1:35.2	I want to know your thoughts and what you think. So with that being said, you guys, this is the
1:40.5	case of Timothy Pitson. And let's jump right on into it today.
1:44.4	Timothy Pitson was born on October 18, 2004 in Aurora, Illinois, to his parents, James,
1:50.5	and Amy Joan Pitson.
1:52.7	He was the only child to his parents and described by those who knew him as a happy-go-lucky,
