http://napervillesun.suntimes.com/n...-aurora-boy-6-after-mother-is-found-dead.htmlPolice in at least three states are searching for a 6-year-old Aurora boy who was last seen with his mother in Wisconsin Dells.
The boy’s 43-year-old mother was found dead Saturday in Rockford, after apparently committing suicide in a motel room, Aurora police said.
The missing boy is Timothy J. Pitzen, a kindergartner.
Since 2006, he has lived with his father, Jim Pitzen, and mother, Amy Fry-Pitzen, in the 400 block of North Highland Avenue in Aurora. The pair were reported missing by Jim Pitzen on Thursday, police said.
Police describe Timothy as 4-foot-2, about 70 pounds, with brown hair and eyes. Family members said he was last seen wearing green shorts, a T-shirt, tennis shoes and Spider-Man backpack.Timothy’s grandmother, Linda Pitzen, said the kindergartner is very outgoing and always smiling. He likes to go to parks and the zoo, she said. He enjoys pizza and McDonald’s Playlands.
“He’s a wonderful little boy, full of energy,†she said. “If anyone sees him, please contact police.â€
Police said Amy was 5-foot-10, 180 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. At around 2 p.m. Saturday, Aurora officers were contacted by Rockford police saying that her body had been discovered inside a Rockford motel room. Police said she had slit her wrists. She left a note indicating that Timothy was fine and in the care of unnamed people.
Anyone with any information, including anyone who believes they saw Timothy, Amy or anyone who may have been with them is asked to call Aurora police at 630-256-5500, or local police by dialing 9-1-1.
Pulled son out of school
According to police, Amy checked her only son out of school at about 8:35 a.m. Wednesday. Police and family confirmed that Amy did not notify other family members about the trip.
“She was not in a good place when she left,†said Jim Pitzen.
According to police, Timothy and Amy visited the Brookfield Zoo on Wednesday and then checked into the Key Lime Cove Resort in Gurnee Wednesday night. Thursday night, she checked into the Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells.
No one heard from Amy on Thursday, and Jim reported them both missing around 1 p.m. Thursday.
On Friday, Amy called and sent text messages to several family members and friends, saying she and Timothy were fine and not in danger, police said. During at least one of the calls on Friday afternoon, a relative talked with Timothy. The relative said the boy “sounded OK,†Jim Pitzen said.
The calls and texts were placed from the Sterling/Rock Falls area.
Amy was seen at Sullivan’s Foods, 70 North Elida Street, Winnebago, at 8 p.m. Friday. Timothy was not with her at that time, police said.
Detectives have determined that Amy checked herself into the Rockford Inn, 3909 11th Street, Rockford between 11:15 and 11:30 p.m. Friday. Timothy was not with Amy when she checked in, police said.
Sullivan’s is about 20 minutes from the motel.
At 12:30 p.m. Saturday, Amy’s body and the note were found in the motel room.
Left in the past
Police spokesman Dan Ferrelli said it was not unusual for Amy to take off, although he was not aware of her ever taking Timothy with her.
Jim Pitzen’s mother, Linda Pitzen, drove in from Ohio to be with her son on Sunday. The family was inundated with calls from friends and the media. Linda Pitzen said she was not aware of any problems within the Amy and Jim’s marriage, although police said there had been domestic troubles. The couple’s eighth wedding anniversary would have been this week.
Linda Pitzen said her daughter-in-law was an absolutely wonderful woman who worked as a project manager in a housing company.
Jim Pitzen said his wife has friends and relatives in Iowa, Ohio, Arizona, and California — but “to my knowledge we don’t have any family or friends in Wisconsin.’’
He said the family had not been to the Kalahari Resort together, nor to Rockford.
“I have no idea why she was there,’’ he said.
