What happened

Timmothy J. Pitzen, 6, was taken out of school by his mother in Aurora, Illinois, on May 11, 2011. He is missing from Aurora, but was last seen at a water park in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, in his mother's company.

His mother was later found deceased in Rockford, Illinois. Police reporting of a note she left said Timmothy was safe with people who would care for him, and that he would never be found. Timmothy has never been found, and he may go by the nickname Tim or Timmy.

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children has age-progressed Timmothy's photograph to 19 years. He would be 22 years old today, and he is still missing. The Aurora Police Department continues to seek information in his case.
