Missing in the Midwest: The Disappearance of Timmothy Pitzen

Six year old Timmothy Pitzen disappeared on May 11, 2011 after being signed out of school by his mother in Aurora, Illinois. Over the next two days the pair traveled through Illinois and Wisconsin, visiting places like Brookfield Zoo and several family resorts before the timeline suddenly came to a chilling end. More than a decade later investigators are still searching for answers...

In this episode of Case Uncovered, I launch a new Tuesday bonus series called Missing in the Midwest, highlighting missing persons cases across Illinois and the Midwest to bring renewed awareness for families still searching for answers.

Case Uncovered is a part of the non-profit The Reignited Project. I founded The Reignited Project, a 501(c)(3) dedicated to supporting families of the missing and murdered through advocacy, education, and resources. After walking through a missing persons case within my own family, that mission became even more personal. We are now developing the Linda Brown Advocacy Protocol, a trauma-informed initiative designed to help families navigate the early stages of a missing persons case with clarity and support.
