The person who told Kentucky police he was missing Illinois teen Timmothy Pitzen is a grown man with a criminal record, the FBI and state records said. Brian Michael Rini, 23, told neighbors in the Kentucky town of Newport that he had escaped kidnappers and was Timmothy, who would be 14 years old, briefly raising hope that the long-lost boy had been found, FBI spokesman Todd Lindgren said. Lindgren, of the agency’s Cincinnati bureau, told Reuters Thursday that DNA tests conducted at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital showed that the person who claimed to be Timmothy was in fact Rini.
