The Timmothy Pitzen Disappearance #46 - a podcast by SMP

What happened to Timmothy Pitzen when he was abducted by his mother in 2011, and is he still alive?



Welcome to Solvable Mysteries Podcast, hosted by Juras Sim and co-hosted by Glenn Highcove.  In this episode we discuss and analyze the mysterious and tragic disappearance and possible death of Timmothy Pitzen, who was kidnapped by his mother Amy in 2011 from his elementary school in Illinois.  After taking him to the zoo and several local resorts, Amy drove across the state, stopped at a couple of dollar stores to buy writing materials, and then killed herself with a combination of slashing her wrists, neck, and overdosing on antihistamines.  We investigate her mysterious, cryptic, and potentially self-exculpatory last words where Amy claims Timmothy is still alive and with another family, and that he will never be found.  We also go into some of the research about fillicide, where a parent murders their own child, and see how it applies to this case.  In the end we state our conclusions about what Timmothy's likely fate is.
