Boy, 6, goes missing after mother commits suicide in hotel room

A desperate hunt is underway for a six-year-old boy who went missing after his mother committed suicide.
Timmothy Pitzen, from Aurora, Illinois, has not been seen for a week after he and his mother left for a road trip.
They were heading to the Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, but the boy's mother Amy, 43, killed herself at a hotel in Rockford, Illinois, last Saturday.

She had left behind a suicide note, saying her son was 'okay' and with people 'who care about him'.

However, she did not specify who the individuals looking after him were.
Now the FBI are involved in the nationwide search for the little boy.
Timmothy, described as 4ft 2 and weighing 70 pounds, lived with Amy and his father Jim.
Mr Pitzen told Fox 8: 'I don't know why my wife did what she did.
'I don't know where my son is. It's just terrifying for me to know he is there with somebody I don't know.'
The boy's grandmother added: 'We believe he's alive. We believe that she told someone to watch him and that she would be back.'
Timmothy, who has brown hair and brown eyes, was last seen wearing green shorts and a Spider-Man backpack.
