DNA testing underway in Timmothy Pitzen case after teen found in Kentucky says he’s long-missing Illinois boy

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
DNA testing was ordered Thursday on a teen who emerged in Kentucky claiming to be the long-missing Timmothy Pitzen and who told officials he'd just escaped the kidnappers who'd held him hostage for more than seven years.

The teen was located in Newport, Ky., early Wednesday by residents who spotted him in the neighborhood and suspected he might be looking to steal something. When neighbors approached him, he told them an incredible story.

Timmothy was reported missing in May 2011. His mother, Amy Fry-Pitzen, picked up the then-6-year-old from school in Aurora, Ill. and took him for a two-day trip to a zoo and a water park.

Then, Fry-Pitzen killed herself in a Rockford hotel room.

Timmothy was nowhere to be found, but a cryptic note, believed written by Fry-Pitzen and found in the room with her body, claimed she left her son with people who would care for him.

"You'll never find him," the note read, according to FOX19.

On Wednesday, Sharon Hall, who said she spotted the 14-year-old boy wandering the block, told FOX19 she initially thought he was trying to steal her neighbor's car.

"From out the window, I couldn't see who was standing to the curb. But I looked out and came back in and...there was a young man standing by my neighbor's car," Hall said. "...The way he was acting, he was fidgety, he was moving around, he was looking in her car."

Hall said she eventually got in touch with her neighbor and found two other women already speaking to the teen. The women called police after the teen told them he was Pitzen and had "just escaped from two kidnappers" who held him hostage for seven years.

"We have this child who says he ran away...says he was kidnapped. And we found it. It looks like back in 2011 he was kidnapped or abducted. Last name is Pitzen...first name is Timmothy. If you Google it, it will pop right up," a Campbell County dispatcher said.

The teen described his captors as two men with bodybuilder physiques and said they were traveling in a Ford SUV with Wisconsin license plates, Sharonville Police Department wrote in an incident report.

"One had black curly hair, Mt. Dew shirt and jeans & has a spider web tattoo on his neck. The other was short in stature and had a snake tattoo on his arms," the report stated.

The teen told police he and his kidnappers were staying in a Red Roof Inn in the Cincinnati, Ohio area when he managed to escape, running across a bridge until he reached Kentucky.

The FBI, Aurora police and several other agencies rushed to meet the 14-year-old on Wednesday to confirm if he really was the missing Illinois boy. The teen was taken to Cincinnati Children's Hospital and authorities ordered a DNA test. Officials hope to have the results at some point Thursday.

"We've probably had thousands of tips of him popping up in different areas," Aurora police Sgt. Bill Rowley said. "We have no idea what we're driving down there for. It could be Pitzen. It could be a hoax."

Timmothy's grandmother, Alana Anderson, told WISN-TV on Wednesday that authorities have told the family "very little."

"We just know a 14-year-old boy was found and went to the police," Anderson said. "We don't want to get our hopes up and our family's hopes up until we know something. We just don't want to get our hopes up. We've had false reports and false hopes before."

Anderson also told FOX19 she's "very cautiously hopeful" the teen is her grandson.

"Well I'm very hopeful that it is him and that he is okay and he's been in a good place when he was gone," she said. "...If it turns out to be him, we'll be thrilled."

"We never stopped looking for him, thinking about him, and that we love him and that we will do everything for him to get back to a good life," she said when asked what her message would be to Timmothy.

FBI Louisville also said in a tweet Wednesday: "FBILouisville and @FBICincinnati are actively coordinating with the Newport PD, @CincyPD, Hamilton County Sheriff's Office, and @AuroraPoliceIL on a missing child investigation. There will be no further statement made on this matter until we have additional information."

Bob Saget deletes tweet about ‘lying’ people amid Lori Loughlin court appearance for college admissions scandal

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Bob Saget wrote and then deleted a cryptic tweet about "lying" people, just before his longtime "Full House" co-star Lori Loughlin was due in court for her alleged involvement in the nationwide college admissions scandal.

"So many people are lying these days, maybe they should change the tests in school to 'false or false,'" Saget tweeted shortly before 1 p.m. Wednesday, People magazine reported.

At the time, Loughlin, 54, and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, appeared a Boston federal court on allegations they paid $500,000 in bribes to have their two daughters, 20-year-old Isabella and 19-year-old YouTube star Olivia Jade, designated as recruits for the USC crew team when neither of the women were rowers.
FELICITY HUFFMAN, LORI LOUGHLIN APPEAR IN COURT FOR COLLEGE ADMISSIONS SCANDAL HEARING
Saget deleted the tweet and later that night wrote in another post, "So many things I say get misconscrewed (sic)."

Saget and Loughlin worked together for years on "Full House" until the series filmed its final episode in 1995. Loughlin played Rebecca Donaldson-Katsopolis or "Aunt Becky" and Saget played patriarch Danny Tanner. The duo later reprised their role for Netflix's reboot "Fuller House."

The 62-year-old actor broke his silence on the scandal last Friday, telling TMZ, "You know, you love who you life in your life."

Saget declined to comment on whether Loughlin deserved jail time for her alleged involvement in the admissions scheme. Rather, he referenced the comments made by actress Candace Cameron Bure - who is known for her role as D.J. Tanner on "Full House" - during Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards earlier in March.

"I just love who I love," Saget said. "Candace said it really good at the Kids' Choice Awards: "You love who you love."

"I'm on the team of people that I love," he added. "But life's complicated. I don't like talking about it."

Ex-wife who tried to hire hit man has no remorse.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
When Terry Thomas' long and messy divorce from Cynthia Guy was finalized in 2014, he was eager to move on with his life. However, his ex-wife had sinister plans that nearly ended his life.

The businessman from Wyoming has come forward for the season premiere of Oxygen's true crime series "Murder for Hire." The new show, from executive producer Dick Wolf, of "Law & Order" fame, explores the dark world of contract killings, highlighting some of the most shocking murder-for-hire cases ever caught on tape from across the country.
DA DETAILS 'SINISTER MINISTER' WHOSE TWO WIVES SUFFERED MYSTERIOUS DEATHS IN DOC
Guy, a Central Wyoming Counseling Center therapist, was arrested and charged in 2014 with solicitation of first-degree murder after she asked one of her patients, whom she believed might have gang connections, to arrange for the murder of Thomas and make it look like a suicide or robbery gone wrong, the Casper Star-Tribune reported.

The patient acted as a confidential informant for the police and a Division of Criminal Investigation agent posed as a hit man named Frankie.

Thomas, along with investigators associated with his case, including the undercover agent, participated in the docuseries.

Thomas told Fox News he was initially hesitant to relive the horrifying incident for the series, but eventually felt his experience could help educate others and make them aware that anyone could have easily been in his shoes.

"I wanted to let other people know what can happen and how bad things can get really go beyond most people's wildest dreams - certainly mine," he said.
CONVICTED CHILD KILLER'S DAUGHTER TELLS ALL IN DOC
But life with Guy wasn't always terrifying. Thomas first met her through an online dating site in 2004 and the relationship moved quickly. After seven months of dating, the single parents looking for love tied the knot. While Thomas worked as a successful businessman, Guy secured a position at the counseling center, where she treated patients with addiction problems who had been court-mandated to get clean.

"It was a roller coaster," recalled Thomas. "It started out as most marriages do. You're in love, you don't think things are ever going to be bad. But I guess fairly quickly, I saw changes. I guess the best way to describe it really is a roller coaster. It went up and down all the time. Unfortunately, there were probably more downs than ups after a while."

Thomas claimed that his wife started behaving like "Jekyll and Hyde" and would immediately snap for no apparent reason. The marriage further deteriorated when Thomas found a job nearly three hours away. Guy had no intention of moving with him.

"The relationship became a shouting match on the phone every night," said Thomas.
SHOCKING DR. DEATH CASE REVEALED
Thomas said he reached his breaking point in 2012 filed for divorce. According to the show, Thomas received a majority of the couple's real estate assets. While Guy attempted to appeal the divorce decree, it was finalized by the Supreme Court of the State of Wyoming in 2014. Guy, who was living in one of Thomas' rental properties, was ordered to vacate.

Looking back, Thomas said Guy gave a warning sign of what was to come.

"Before I filed for divorce [two years prior], she made a very odd comment," he claimed. "She actually said at one point, 'I'm going to kill you or have you killed.' Everybody at some point gets angry. A lot of people spurt out 'I'm going to kill you.' But 99.9 percent don't mean it. It's just something said out of anger that most people in no way intend to follow through."

"The way she said it, 'I'm going to kill you or have you killed,' struck me a little bit differently," continued Thomas. "I actually went to a safe house here in Cheyenne and requested at that time an order of protection, but could not get it because they said no judge would issue an order of protection or a restraining order based on words alone. Since she hadn't done anything, there was nothing anybody can do."
DETECTIVE REFLECTS ON 'SENSELESS' MURDER CASE IN DOC
In the show, it was revealed that Guy approached one of her patients and asked if she knew someone from the "Mexican mafia" who could arrange Thomas' murder. Stunned, the patient lied and said she had a cousin who could commit the deed. She then contacted police, prompting a weeklong investigation.

The FBI showed up at Thomas' door with the devastating news.

"I was shocked," he admitted. "... My gut instinct was that she had made up some horrific story and accused me of something heinous. I actually said to him... 'What did that crazy b-- do now?' I was speechless. How can you possibly feel when you find out somebody actually had a hit out on you?"

Even though the FBI helped Thomas go into hiding, he was still frightened. It turned out Guy had contacted more than one person before the patient agreed to help.

"We didn't know if there was more out there," he said. "I wasn't relieved just knowing they're on to her."

Hidden cameras showed Guy, who agreed to pay $4,000 for the hit, not only met up with the supposed assassin but showed the undercover agent how to enter Thomas' home discreetly.
BTK'S DAUGHTER TELLS ALL IN DOC
"You get one shot," Guy ordered the agent, calling the contract killing "just f--- business."

"Don't f-- it up," she warned. "Cause you f-- it up, I will go down."

The agent later sent a coded text message to Guy informing her that the killing was done. Police then went to Guy's house and told her Thomas was found dead under suspicious circumstances. Guy attempted to show emotion before she was charged with solicitation of first-degree murder. Guy originally denied having any knowledge of a murder plot, but police revealed the taped conversations were key evidence and showed otherwise.

"How can someone you shared your life with do and say those things?" said Thomas. "It's just mind-boggling to me. I still don't understand."

In 2016, the Casper Star-Tribune reported Guy was sentenced to 20 to 25 years in prison. Still, Thomas said the idea of Guy ever being free one day keeps him up at night.

"She is incarcerated with like-minded people," he explained. "Some of those people aren't going to be in as long as she is. What kind of plot is she potentially still thinking about? And even though I'm supposed to be made aware of her movements, the Department of Justice has failed miserably. She has been moved several times and I didn't know about it. When I called to complain after I found out, I was just given an apology. ... I have no idea of people she has befriended and whether they're getting out. What potential is there?"

Thomas added that while Guy apologized to her family, co-workers and community during her sentencing, she never issued one to him.

"I don't think she has remorse," he said.

Thomas is looking forward to his future, but can't help but be haunted by the past. He has a more difficult time trusting people.

"I am trying not to let her win and affect me to the point that I can't go on, I can't enjoy things," he explained. "So I am doing a lot more. I have a great work life, a very good personal life. I'm just trying to move on. I'm certainly more observant about my surroundings. I have lights on all around the house, even at night. Has it affected me in some ways? Yes, absolutely. I can't deny that. But I'm trying the best I can to live well."

If there's one message Thomas has for audiences is to tread carefully when a tumultuous relationship comes to an end.

"I don't believe it's good to stay in a bad relationship, but when it's time to exit... be aware of what potential is there," he warned. "Never would I thought it would have come to this. Sometimes people you think you know are the proverbial wolf in sheep's clothing."
"Murder for Hire" airs April 7 at 7 p.m. on Oxygen.

Tortilla  blanket sold out on National burrito day

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A tortilla-inspired blanket measuring five feet in diameter has sold out online as of Thursday - otherwise known as National Burrito Day - after the cozy throw went viral on social media last week.

On March 27, a Twitter user named Katrina shared images of herself snuggled up inside ZenLife's "Burrito Blanket," which evidently sparked an e-commerce frenzy as Tex-Mex lovers raced to order the $44.95 fleeces for themselves.

Winning fame with over 120,000 likes on Twitter and more than 17,000 upvotes on Reddit, the burrito blanket is no longer available for purchase as this time, according to its product page and an Amazon listing, though it's slated to return to stock within the next few weeks.

Social media fans, meanwhile, went wild for the one-of-a-kind design, which has since developed something of a cultlike following.

"This is so unnecessary where can I get one [?]," one user exclaimed.

Details shared about the death of a family that died in a car crash

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Officials shared grisly details of the deaths of a family whose SUV plunged off a cliff off Northern California's coast during a coroner's inquest Wednesday to help them classify the deaths.

Law enforcement officials and a forensic pathologist testified on the first of two days of testimony before a jury that will decide whether the March 2018 deaths of Jen and Sarah Hart and their six adopted children were accidental, a murder-suicide or undetermined.

The crash happened just days after authorities in Washington state, where the family moved in 2017 from Oregon, opened an investigation following allegations the children were being neglected.

A neighbor of the Harts in Woodland, Washington, had filed a complaint with the state, saying the children were apparently being deprived of food as punishment. No one answered when social workers checking on the report went to the family's home near Portland, Oregon, on March 23.

Three days later, their SUV was found partially submerged on the ocean, below a rugged cliff.

The bodies of the women were inside the SUV when it was discovered, but one of them fell out as the vehicle was being towed up the cliff off the coast of Mendocino County, Sheriff Deputy Robert Julian said.

Julian testified he was able to identify Sarah Hart through a Minnesota driver's license found near the car.

"I wasn't able to identify Jennifer Hart due to her fall," Julian said.

The bodies of siblings Markis, Jeremiah and Abigail Har were found same day near the car. Weeks later, the body of Ciera Hart was pulled from the Pacific Ocean and human remains found in a shoe were matched to Hannah Hart through DNA testing. The remains of 15-year-old Devonte Hart have not been found.

Jennifer Hart was drunk when she drove her large family off a Northern California cliff, authorities said.

Greg Pizarro, a forensic pathologist, testified Wednesday an autopsy found she had an alcohol level of 0.102. California drivers are considered drunk with a level of 0.08 or higher.

Pizarro said her cause of death was a broken neck.

Her wife, Sarah, and several children had large amounts of a drug in their systems that can cause drowsiness, authorities have said.

The family's SUV plunged off a seaside cliff more than 160 miles (250 kilometers) north of San Francisco.

Sarah Hart pleaded guilty in 2011 to a domestic assault charge in Minnesota over what she said was a spanking given to one of her children. Oregon child welfare officials also investigated the couple in 2013, but closed the case without taking any action.

DNA testing is being done to determine if a teen was actually a missing child.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
DNA testing was ordered Thursday on a teen who emerged in Kentucky claiming to be the long-missing Timmothy Pitzen and who told officials he'd just escaped the kidnappers who'd held him hostage for more than seven years.

The teen was located in Newport, Ky., early Wednesday by residents who spotted him in the neighborhood and suspected he might be looking to steal something. When neighbors approached him, he told them an incredible story.

Timmothy was reported missing in May 2011. His mother, Amy Fry-Pitzen, picked up the then-6-year-old from school in Aurora, Ill. and took him for a two-day trip to a zoo and a water park.

Tiki Barber said that NFL drug tests are easy to beat.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Former New York Giants running-back-turned-entrepreneur Tiki Barber says despite the NFL's tough policies surrounding marijuana use, back when he played the game the league's tests were easy to beat.

"We always used to call it like the 'dummy test' because you know when the test is going to happen so just be clean and as long as you're not in the program you can probably get away with it even if they technically know that it's happening," Barber told FOX Business.

Barber, who has worn many different hats since retiring from the NFL in 2007, has since launched an investment firm that plans to back young marijuana and cannabis startups in an effort to help them navigate through unfolding legal regulations.

The company called Grove Group Management launched last year with his business partner Kevin Shin and has already signed on many small business owners.

"It's simply a business opportunity," Barber added. "We wanted to put a group together that could attack this cannabis space in an intelligent way that makes sense for not only the business opportunity but also for minority communities and create a message of social progress."

The 43-year-old former athlete, who admits he is not a marijuana user but does dabble with CBD-infused products for pain management says change is needed surrounding the legalization of marijuana in both the NFL and across the country to help fight the opioid crisis.

Recently, many big companies, including pharmacies CVS and Walgreens have announced their plans to start selling CBD-infused products in select locations across the country. CBD products, or products with cannabidiol, contain the non-psychoactive component of marijuana. Walgreens told FOX Business that the move into the cannabis space is an effort to provide a wider range of "accessible health and wellbeing products and services" to best meet the needs of its customers, while CVS CEO Larry Merlo told CNBC they were prompted by its customers, who say CBD products have helped them with pain relief for arthritis and other ailments.

"We've seen the punitive nature with which the NFL attacks users of cannabis and I believe a lot of these guys are just self-medicating. They don't want to be caught in the opioid addiction crisis that has affected a lot of former players because of the constant damage to your knees and your joints and that's not even to mentioning the head trauma," he said. He also added that contrary to popular belief, he believes only 20 to 30 percent of NFL athletes actually use marijuana.

Still, the league's current policies have been very detrimental to the careers of a lot of great players, including Josh Gordon of the New England Patriots, Martavis Bryant from the Oakland Raiders and most recently Randy Gregory, who just got a year suspension from the Dallas Cowboys.

"It's an evolving conversation with the league and I'm sure come 2020 or 2021 with a new collective bargaining agreement going to be negotiated, it's going to be a talking point. Guys are tired of managing their pain with things that are going to destroy their livers and make their lives down the line very untenable in some ways," Barber said.

A spokesperson for the NFL did not immediately respond to FOX Business' request for comment, while the league's Players Association declined to comment on the report.

Congress steps in to stop Robocalls

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Bipartisanship in Congress is rare these days, but on Wednesday lawmakers of every stripe agreed: Something must be done to stop the scourge of illegal and unwanted robocalls to cell phones.

The Senate Commerce Committee approved a new measure, called the TRACED Act, to crack down on scammers who prey on unwitting cell phone users, many masking the origin of their telephone numbers to increase the likelihood of unsolicited calls being accepted -- a practice known as "spoofing."

"Half of all calls to cell phones this year will be robocalls," said Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., the lead sponsor of the Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal Enforcement and Deterrence Act. Thune said he, too, had received his fair share of the pesky calls.

"This legislation can't get signed into law soon enough," Thune said.

One industry estimate by the firm Hiya, as first reported by the Washington Post, says these types of unwanted communication accounted for nearly a third of the 26.3 billion robocalls made to Americans in 2018.

"Our goal is to provide authentication so that consumers know who's calling them," said Sen. Edward Markey, D-Mass, who authored the bill with Thune. Markey said the measure would slap offenders with "much tougher penalties which the federal government can impose upon these fraudsters, upon these scammers, upon these tricksters who have insinuated themselves into the lives of every single American."

The Federal Trade Commission's "National Do Not Call Registry" has proved ineffective in the face of a rising problem as millions of consumers can attest. Technology has improved to such a degree, lawmakers said, particularly with regard to reaching cell phones, that senators said it's time for the laws to catch up.

"Since we're seeing such an escalation of the use of technology to disturb people's homes, we need an escalation in technology in order to give people protections in their homes and also on their iPhones," Markey said, holding out his own phone. "iPhones have now become a place where no longer is privacy protected."

The legislation, similar to a bill introduced in the House last week by Rep. Frank Pallone, D-N.J., would mandate that major phone carriers, such as AT&T and Verizon, employ technology within roughly 18 months of final passage that would tell consumers the origin of an incoming call and whether that number has been verified. The Pallone bill has an added advantage to consumers: It requires that this service be provided for free.

"We are going to say to the telephone and cable companies that there must be an authentication technology that detects where these calls come from so it's very clear that they don't come from the United States of America ... and you don't have to answer that call because you will know where they come from," Markey said.

In a letter to the committee from all 50 state attorneys general announcing support of the new legislative push, the group warns, "The hardware and software required to make robocalls is easy to obtain, is relatively inexpensive, enables 'mass-dialing of thousands of calls for pennies,' and allows telemarketers to fake or 'spoof' Caller ID information."

"Although several providers and third parties offer call blocking and caller identification verification products, virtually anyone can send millions of illegal robocalls and frustrate law enforcement with just a computer, inexpensive software (i.e., auto-dialer and spoofing programs), and an internet connection," the letter continued.

The FCC Chairman Ajit Pai last year called on phone carriers to act to implement authentication technology, but he did not mandate it.

Lawmakers are now coming together to make these major changes to the system mandatory.
