While there was reason for celebration in South Elgin this week as a father was reunited with his daughter six years after her abduction, the occasion also serves as a reminder that many suburban families are still waiting for answers on what happened to loved ones who ve vanished.
At his home in Clinton, Iowa, Jim Pitzen is a father surrounded by memories of his lost son. His living room walls are frozen in better times with framed.
Pitzen s disappearance remains every bit the mystery it was 10 years ago.
“It’s hard to believe that we have been searching for Timmothy for 10 long years now,” Jim Pitzen said in a release. “We believe he is out there and we hope every day that he will make his way home.”
Police have not released many details over the years. They continue to say the investigation into the Aurora boy s disappearance is active and ongoing.
“While we cannot comment on specifics, we are using every available resource including technology resources to help locate Timmothy,” Paris Lewbel, Aurora Police public information officer, wrote in an email. “We have received numerous tips over the years and follow up on each tip that we receive. This remains an active and ongoing missing persons investigation.”
