Aurora police are leading the search for a missing 6-year-old boy whose mother was found dead today in a Rockford motel room from an apparent suicide. (she slit her wrists.)
The mother, Amy J. Fry-Pitzen, 43, was discovered dead by Rockford police this afternoon inside of a motel room in the 3800 block of 11th Street in Rockford, with no signs of her son, Timothy, Aurora police said in a news release.
Fry-Pitzen, of the 400 block of North Highland Avenue in Aurora, suffered slit wrists, authorities said.
The mom left a note saying that Timothy was fine and that she left him in the care of unnamed individuals, authorities said. Aurora detectives are working with other police departments in Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa hoping to gain new leads. Fry-Pitzen has several relatives and friends in Iowa, police added.
After Fry-Pitzen's husband reported the pair missing on Thursday, police discovered that Fry-Pitzen had checked her son out of his school the previous morning.
After getting her son Wednesday, police said the pair stayed at the Key Lime Cove Resort in Gurnee that night before heading to the Kalahari Resort in the Wisconsin Dells on Thursday night. Fry-Pitzen was also seen at Sullivan’s Foods in the 700 block of Elida Street in Winnebago, Ill., at around 8 p.m. Friday.
Several of the woman's family members and acquaintances spoke with her Friday. Fry-Pitzen told them that she and her son were fine and not in danger. One relative spoke with the child, who didn't sound as if he was in any distress, police said.
Timothy is described as a white, about 4-foot-2 inches tall, weighing about 70 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.
Anyone who may have seen Timothy in recent days is asked to call Aurora Police at 630-256-5500, or their local authorities by dialing 911.
