The grandmother of Timothy Pitzen is certain that the youngster who went missing is still alive and could be residing in a distant Mormon commune. She believes he’s still out there someplace because of the way his mother said goodbye.

Timmothy was six years old when he was last seen alive. His mother, Amy Fry-Pitzen, was holding his hand as he walked out of a Wisconsin Dells water park hotel resort.

Two days prior, Amy informed the teachers of a family issue and took Timmothy out of school early in Aurora, Illinois. She then made an impromptu cross-state road trip to see water parks and zoos.

Although Amy, 43, appeared to have been organizing the vacation for some time, Timmothy’s father Jim Pitzen was taken aback when he arrived at school on May 11, 2011, only to discover that Amy had picked him up hours earlier.

Jim Pitzen would never see or speak with his wife and kids again.

After 48 hours of quiet, Amy finally spoke on May 13, in the afternoon. She informed her mother and Jim’s brother over the phone that she would shortly return home.

Timothy’s voice could be heard over the receiver at one point, and at other times, he chatted in the background during the calls.

How come you don’t believe in me? Amy called Jim’s brother and told him. Timothy, the boy, is mine. I will not injure myself. I promise not to harm Tim.

Amy was going to permanently switch off her phone in a few seconds.

She was discovered dead in a Rockford hotel room the next day. She had murdered herself by using a razor to make severe cuts on her wrists and overindulging in prescribed medication.

Timmothy had vanished from sight.

Amy had entrusted him to someone who loves and will take care of him, but the little letter she wrote before killing herself also stated that he would never be found.

Almost no trace of Timmothy remains after thirteen years.

The boy’s paternal grandmother, Linda Pitzen, told The U.S. Sun that she had suffered much attempting to decipher Amy’s enigmatic final words and her possible thoughts at the time of her death.

Like the rest of her family, Linda is certain that Amy would never have harmed Timothy. She also believes that Amy’s claim that she had handed the kid away was accurate.

Although Linda is unsure of the exact reason behind her decision to give the kid up, she believes it may have been related to her Mormon faith.

“I believe she desired for Timm to grow up as a Mormon,” Linda remarked.

“I believe that after she departed, she did this to confirm that he was a Mormon. Not all of us are Mormon.

“She never pushed it on anyone else, except Jim.” However, he was unwilling to, and I believe her religion may have been pressuring her.

“However, she attended a Mormon church.” She wasn’t raised a Christian; she just became one after meeting Jim.

HOW DO THE MORMONS AFFECT?
Earlier this month, Timmothy’s classmate Hannah Soukup granted an exclusive interview to The U.S. Sun. She has been independently investigating the boy’s location.

According to Soukup, Timothy is reportedly being confined in a remote religious commune with little access to the outside world or the internet.

“There were a lot of unexplained visits to certain places with Amy, and I still think about Timmothy and what happened to him,” Soukup said.

“I believe she left him with people she knew would keep him hidden and safe—I’m not sure if it was a religious area or something.”

She also made it apparent, in my opinion, that he had to either change his name or avoid using the internet in order for anybody to know he was gone.

The last ping Amy’s phone sent out was detected in Sterling, a tiny rural hamlet located approximately 80 miles west of Aurora, on May 13, the day she permanently shut off her phone.

Amy had visited Sterling twice before, in February and March 2011, according to her I-Pass data. Her family was perplexed by this as they were unaware of the excursions and didn’t believe she was connected to the region.

Where she went following Sterling is still a mystery.

Amy had stopped somewhere in northwest Illinois, perhaps close to a body of water, and had driven back to Rockford by herself, according to plants and soil found beneath her car. No specific venue has been selected as of yet.

Linda Pitzen stated that she had consistently held the same beliefs as Soukup.

“It is highly likely to occur.” “That would explain a lot about Amy possibly abandoning her son at a Mormon commune,” Linda remarked.

“I have always accepted that theory. The suicide note was read by me. On that subject, if you know her, I believe she most likely offered someone a place to reside in a complex.

“Given the alternatives, I have to hope that’s true because it would be a much better option for me to deal with.”

SEARCHING FOR REMEDIATIONS
What Amy’s suicide letter and her peculiar trips to Sterling signified have been the subject of years of speculation and questions about a possible conspiracy.

Was Amy possible to adopt Timmothy without getting consent? Was she lying, or something else? Had she done the boy any harm that she want to keep hidden from others?

The authorities have spent a great deal of time investigating both possibilities, but they are still nothing near proving one.

When Timmothy vanished, Amy had previously attempted suicide twice and was taking depression medicine.

She was also going through a difficult time in her marriage to Jim.

Jim announced his intention to file for divorce from Amy, who had previously been married three times.

Friends and relatives have speculated that Amy’s actions stemmed from her worry that, in the event of a divorce from Jim, her history of mental illness would make it hard for her to obtain custody of Timothy.

With the benefit of hindsight, Linda stated that she believes Amy need substantial mental health treatment. But Amy was so skilled at pretending everything was perfect that it was difficult to see how much she was struggling.

“I constantly struggle with the question of ‘what was going through her mind,'” Linda said.

“But I think she treated me well,” To me, she was a daughter. Managing everything and seeing how devastated everyone is now has been difficult.

Tim could have given her the happiness she was looking for over her several marriages, up until he matured and gained more independence. After then, the despair returned.

If she had received the proper treatment, this might not have happened to her. Nevertheless, therapy is not always effective. It belongs to that category.

However, Linda remarked, “She always put Timm first.” I think she was searching within herself for the answers, but she was unable to find them.
