Ben Glassman, US attorney for the Southern District of Ohio, said Brian Rini appeared in court about 45 minutes ago. Rini, who was charged with making false statements to federal agents after he claimed to be missing boy Timmothy Pitzen, is being held without bond. He has another hearing next Tuesday. Glassman said officials discovered Rini was not the missing boy after they tested a DNA swab. When they confronted Rini with the DNA, he admitted he was not Timmothy.
