An Ohio man whom authorities said falsely claimed to be Timmothy Pitzen, the Illinois boy who went missing in 2011 at age 6, was found to have a long criminal history and was once psychologically evaluated, according to reports. A DNA test, however, quickly determined that "the person in question is not Timmothy Pitzen,” the FBI’s Louisville field office tweeted. PERSON WHO CLAIMED TO BE TIMMOTHY PITZEN IS NOT TIMMOTHY PITZEN, FBI SAYS, CITING DNA TESTPolice in Ohio said Rini is well-known to authorities in that state. Police records cited by the station indicate that Rini had been on authorities’ radar even before the burglary and vandalism. In 2013, Rini’s mental competency to stand trial in Medina County, Ohio, was evaluated but officials determined he was of sound mind.
