Summary

In May of 2011, a boy and his mom headed out on what seemed like a spontaneous vacation; making stops at attractions across the Midwest. But the trip would take a dark and heartbreaking turn when, a few days later, his mother was found dead in a hotel room, but her son was missing. And eerily, laid near her body was a note claiming he would never be found. With mysterious gaps of time, strange shopPitzenrips, and surveillance footage, police would be left to figure out: What happened to him? This is the disappearance of Timmothy Pitzen.
