(Reuters) ― A teen who told Kentucky police he was Timmothy Pitzen, an Illinois boy who went missing in 2011, is not the long-lost child, the FBI said on Thursday. But FBI officials in Kentucky and Ohio said DNA tests conducted at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital showed that the teen is not Timmothy. “A local investigation continues into this person’s true identity,” Louisville FBI Agent Tim Beam said in a statement emailed to Reuters. “Law enforcement has not and will not forget Timmothy, and we hope to one day reunite him with his family,” the statement added. She committed suicide soon afterwards in a motel room, leaving a note that local media said made the boy’s whereabouts a mystery.
