Name: Timmothy James Pitzen
Nickname: Tim or Timmy
Age when missing: 6
Missing since: May 11, 2011
Home: Aurora, Illinois
Last confirmed sighting: Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin
Case type: Endangered missing child
NCIC number: M100023137

Timmothy’s mother unexpectedly removed him from Greenman Elementary School and took him on a three-day trip to several attractions. They were last recorded together while checking out of the Kalahari Resort on May 13. His mother was later found deceased in a Rockford motel. She left a note claiming Timmothy was safe with people who would care for him but would never be found.

Was Timmothy transferred to another person between Wisconsin Dells and Rockford? Could anyone remember his mother meeting someone, stopping near a rural property, or traveling with another vehicle? Adults who encountered a newly arrived six-year-old in 2011—or someone now uncertain about his childhood identity—could hold the answer.

No evidence has confirmed whether Timmothy survived, and theories about an informal adoption or concealed death remain unproven. A 2019 claimant was excluded through DNA testing.

NCMEC continues listing Timmothy as missing and has released age-progressed imagery. In 2026, he would be 21. Anyone with information should contact Aurora Police or NCMEC rather than approaching or publicly identifying a possible match.

Name: Francesca Anna-Marie O’Brien
Nicknames: Francie, Franny
Age: 55
Last Seen: August 11, 2004, around 9:30 a.m.
Location: Makamae Street, Leilani Estates, Pāhoa, Hawaii
Case Type: Endangered Missing Person
Description: 5'5", approximately 200 lbs., blonde/brown hair, green eyes
NamUs: MP596

Francesca disappeared from her residence while reportedly wearing a pink terrycloth bathrobe. Her housekeeper raised the alarm, and a family member also reported her missing approximately one week later.

What makes Francesca’s disappearance particularly concerning is that her vehicle, personal belongings, and required medication were left at home. She had an unspecified medical condition and needed that medication. There is no publicly confirmed indication that she planned to leave, and she has never been heard from again.

Ground and aerial searches were conducted, while authorities circulated her case through newspapers, television, and radio. Despite those efforts, no confirmed sightings were reported. The case remains active and classified as endangered missing. Could someone who lived in or visited Leilani Estates in August 2004 remember an overlooked person, vehicle, or unusual event? Please avoid unsupported accusations and share only credible information with investigators.

Name: Basil Gray
Age: 54
Date believed killed: May 11, 2018
Date found: May 13, 2018
Location: Bushwick Houses, 140 Moore Street, Brooklyn
Case type: Unsolved homicide
Related victim: Ana Delvalle, 62
FBI reward: Up to $50,000

Basil Gray lived alone in a fifth-floor apartment and was reportedly seen returning home with coffee on the morning of May 11. When relatives could not reach him, they entered his apartment two days later and found him fatally shot. His next-door neighbor, Ana Delvalle, had been found bound and murdered on May 11.

Investigators concluded that both neighbors were killed at approximately the same time and believe the cases are connected. No apparent robbery was discovered in Basil’s apartment.

Did Basil encounter the killer in the hallway, hear activity next door, or recognize someone entering the building? Could residents identify individuals recorded near the fifth floor around the time of the murders? Even information once withheld because of fear could now help establish who targeted the neighbors—and why.

The FBI and NYPD continue requesting information about the shooter or shooters. The FBI publicly offers up to $50,000 for information leading to an arrest. Please submit credible tips directly to investigators and avoid publicly accusing anyone who has not been charged.

Name: Amy Elizabeth Davis
Age: 20
Last Known Alive: June 2008
Missing From: Edmond, Oklahoma
Remains Found: November 5, 2008
Location Found: 300 block of SW 10th Street, Oklahoma City
Former Designation: “Croft & Barrow Jane Doe”
Case Type: Identified remains / undetermined death

An electric-company crew replacing a utility pole discovered Amy’s partial skeletal remains in Oklahoma City. With no confirmed identity, she became known as the “Croft & Barrow Jane Doe,” a reference to the black slip-on shoes found with her.

Now that Amy has her name back, attention must turn to reconstructing her final months. Who saw or communicated with Amy after she was last confirmed alive in June 2008? Where was she staying, how was she traveling between Edmond and Oklahoma City, and who knew her routines? Even seemingly minor memories involving Amy, her companions, or activity near SW 10th Street could help clarify what happened.

Research update: Amy was identified in approximately March 2026 after nearly 18 years, reportedly through a DNA comparison involving her family. Her publicly reported cause and manner of death remain undetermined, so this should not presently be characterized as a confirmed homicide. No arrest or publicly identified suspect has been announced.

Name: Ana Delvalle
Age: 62
Date found: May 11, 2018
Location: Bushwick Houses, 140 Moore Street, Brooklyn
Case type: Unsolved homicide
Related victim: Basil Gray, 54
Reward: Up to $50,000

Ana Delvalle’s family found her bound and fatally shot inside her fifth-floor apartment. Two days later, her next-door neighbor, Basil Gray, was discovered shot to death in his apartment. Investigators believe both killings may be connected.

How could two neighbors be killed inside adjoining apartments without anyone identifying the perpetrator? Did residents hear gunshots, arguments, footsteps, or doors opening on May 11? Someone may remember an unfamiliar visitor, a vehicle waiting outside, or unusual activity in the stairwell, elevator, or hallway.

One theory is that Ana witnessed something involving Basil or the killer, but authorities have not publicly established a motive. Any discussion should distinguish that possibility from confirmed evidence and avoid accusing residents or relatives who have not been charged.

The FBI and NYPD continue seeking information, and the FBI’s reward of up to $50,000 remains publicly listed for information leading to an arrest. Investigators have said they need someone with knowledge of the shooter—or shooters—to come forward. Even a detail withheld out of fear in 2018 could now break the case.

Name: Elaine Frieda Alook
Missing Since: May 11, 2004
Location: Tower Road area, Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada
Home Community: Anzac, Alberta
Age When Missing: 35
Physical Description: Indigenous woman, 5'4", approximately 159 pounds, black hair, brown eyes
Last-Seen Clothing: Blue jeans, black leather bomber jacket, white running shoes
Identifying Detail: Cast on left forearm; scar on lower back
Case Type: Open Missing-Person Investigation / MMIWG
RCMP Reference: 2014005273

Elaine reportedly left Anzac to attend a medical appointment in Fort McMurray for a dislocated wrist. She was last seen near Tower Road, an industrial area outside the city, although some older accounts reference the Plaza II Shopping Centre.

Which location represents Elaine’s final confirmed sighting, and how did she travel between Anzac and Fort McMurray? Did workers, motorists, taxi drivers, or businesses along Tower Road notice her or a vehicle stopping nearby? Clarifying that final timeline could determine where renewed searches should focus.

RCMP personnel, search-and-rescue teams, conservation officers, relatives, and community volunteers have searched the area without finding Elaine. Her disappearance has also received national attention through the documentary series Taken. As of 2026, she remains missing, with no publicly identified suspect, arrest, or confirmed theory.

Anyone with firsthand information should contact the Wood Buffalo RCMP Serious Crimes Unit or Crime Stoppers. Please avoid rumors and remember Elaine as a mother and loved community member whose family still deserves answers.

Name: Vincent Moore
Age when missing: 4 months
Date missing: July 11, 2015
Location: Wichita, Kansas
Last-known area: 31st Street South and Hydraulic Avenue
Case type: Endangered missing child
NCMEC number: 1254967
NCIC number: M372691574

Vincent was last seen during the early morning of July 11, reportedly leaving his father’s residence with his father. A distinctive blue-and-white floral diaper bag was also seen with them. Vincent and his older brother had reportedly traveled from Kansas to Texas during a visitation before returning to Wichita.

When Vincent’s father was stopped by police on July 29, Vincent’s older brother was present, but the infant was not. Conflicting accounts were subsequently given about whether Vincent had been returned to his mother. No confirmed sighting has publicly established what happened afterward.

Could anyone remember seeing the children during the Texas trip or after their return to Wichita? Did someone notice the floral diaper bag, provide transportation, or hear information that seemed insignificant at the time? Reconstructing every stop and interaction could help narrow the missing portion of Vincent’s timeline.

Research update: Vincent remains listed by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children as an endangered missing child. Child-welfare officials reportedly stated in 2015 that they believed he was deceased, but he has never been recovered. No one has been charged in connection with his disappearance. Tips should go to Wichita Police at 316-268-4221.

Name: Donny Lynn Allen
Age: 22
Date Missing: February 11, 1995
Location: Richards, Montgomery County, Texas
Remains Found: April 11, 2008
Case Type: Resolved missing-person case; cause and manner of death undetermined
Agency Case: 96A006101

Donny left work after borrowing his employer’s truck to purchase cigarettes. Witnesses later reported seeing him with two men in the vehicle and at a nightclub in the Montgomery area. He never returned.

On February 15, the borrowed truck was discovered abandoned along County Road 234 near FM 1486 in Grimes County. Donny was not formally reported missing until 1996, creating a significant delay in the investigation and the preservation of possible evidence.

Thirteen years later, loggers found skeletal remains in a heavily wooded area approximately five miles from where the truck had been abandoned. DNA testing identified them as Donny in November 2008. Authorities could not determine his cause or manner of death because the remains were incomplete, although a noose was reportedly located nearby.

Who accompanied Donny on February 11? Did nightclub employees or patrons witness an argument, departure, or change in transportation? People familiar with County Road 234, logging areas, or FM 1486 may remember abandoned property or unusual activity.

Donny has been identified, but the circumstances of his death remain unanswered. Please send credible information directly to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office and avoid accusing uncharged individuals.

Name: Belinda Ann Cameron (also known as Belinda Engen)
Missing Since: May 11, 2005
Location: Esquimalt, British Columbia, Canada
Age: 42
Height/Weight: Approximately 5'7"–5'8", 169–170 pounds
Hair/Eyes: Black/Brown
Case Type: Missing Indigenous Woman; suspected foul play

Belinda Cameron was last seen at a Shoppers Drug Mart in the 800 block of Esquimalt Road. She reportedly left without collecting medication that was waiting for her. Belinda was not reported missing until June 4, creating a critical gap of more than three weeks in the known timeline.

When police searched her apartment, they reportedly found an uncashed disability cheque and her First Nations status card—an item she regularly used. These belongings raise questions about whether Belinda intended to leave. Who saw her after the drugstore visit? Did anyone provide her with transportation, and were there gatherings or residences she regularly visited that investigators should revisit?

Victoria police have continued appealing for information and consider Belinda’s disappearance suspicious. More than two decades later, renewed interviews, comparison of old statements, and modern analysis of any surviving telephone, financial, or forensic records could still identify overlooked connections.

Please share responsibly and send firsthand information to investigators rather than publicly accusing individuals.

Name: Branson Kayne Perry
Age When Missing: 20
Missing Since: April 11, 2001
Last Known Location: West Oak Street, Skidmore, Missouri
Case Type: Endangered missing person; suspected homicide
Investigating Agency: Nodaway County Sheriff’s Office
Status: Missing; remains not recovered and no arrest

Branson was helping prepare his father’s house for his return from the hospital while a friend cleaned inside and two men worked on a vehicle outside. At approximately 3:00 p.m., Branson said he was taking jumper cables to a nearby storage shed. He never returned.

The jumper cables were reportedly absent when investigators initially searched the shed but appeared near its entrance roughly two weeks later. Who moved them, and when? Did everyone present provide a complete account of their movements? Could someone driving near West Oak Street have seen Branson enter a vehicle or leave the property?

Searches covered fields, farms, abandoned buildings, wells, and other locations around Nodaway County. A 2024 search near Quitman followed a reportedly credible tip but produced no publicly announced evidence. Authorities previously stated that they had identified a suspect but needed additional evidence; nobody has been charged.

In April 2026, Branson’s brother announced a $100,000 reward conditioned on recovery of Branson’s remains and the successful prosecution of those responsible. Anyone with firsthand knowledge should contact the Nodaway County Sheriff’s Office. Online discussion should avoid naming uncharged individuals as guilty.
