Boy, 14, found wandering streets claims hes missing child who vanished 7 years ago

A 14 year-old boy found wandering the streets covered in bruises claims he is a missing child who vanished seven years ago.

The youngster, discovered bruised on the streets of Cincinnati, Wednesday told a passerby that he is Timmothy Pitzen, who vanished in May 2011 aged six after his father left him off at elementary school near their home in Aurora, Illinois.

He told the shocked Good Samaritan that he had been held by kidnappers for the last seven years.

The boy said that he had managed to escape from a nearby Red Roof Inn hotel, before fleeing across a bridge from the Ohio side of the city and into the neighboring state of Kentucky.

A woman who met the youngster told CBS Chicago that he appeared very agitated and scared and claimed that he had been passed around for the last seven years.
