Maine police investigate 100 leads in boy's death ...HELP NEEDED TO IDENTIFY YOUNG BOY

Oh my gosh! This is so sad. A little boy 4-6 yrs old is dead and no one seems to be looking for him.

He appeared to be healthy and cared for before his death. I wonder if the autopsy will show signs of abuse - even if not outwardly apparent?

I hope someone misses him soon and comes forward!

This is horrible! Someone isn't missing this precious little boy.

There is a little boy named Timothy Pitzen missing from Aurora, Wisconsin.........he looks similar, Timothy is 6. We need to get his story on our missing page.

Picked up from school by his mother, an Aurora boy embarked on a whirlwind journey -- a trip to Brookfield Zoo followed by back-to-back visits to popular water parks.

But 6-year-old Timothy Pitzen has not been seen since Friday morning, when his mother checked them out of the Kalahari Resort in the Wisconsin Dells.

This has got to stop...

Bad news, so very sad. Another mother....Rest in peace little Camden.

I saw last night that she overdosed him on cough syrup. They were from Texas and she drove to Maine, they think she may have originally been from that area. They have her in a mental ward examining her. She told LE that she wanted to kill herself. Poor little Camden.

Accused of murdering son: Juli McCrery’s friend, mom say she ‘seemed normal’

CONCORD, Massachusetts (Isabelle Zehnder reporting) -- On Tuesday, the day before Juliane “Juli” McCrery was arrested and charged in the murder of her 6-year-old son Camden, she talked to her mother and to a friend – they both said nothing seemed out of the ordinary and that McCrery seemed normal.

The world was introduced to 6-year-old Camden Pierce Hughes first in a computer-generated photo created after he had died. The photo was not easy to look at nor was it easy to disseminate, but law enforcement asked that it be distributed in hopes of determining the identity of the child.

The discovery of the little boy's body wrapped in a blanket and left on the side of Dennett Road in South Berwick, Maine on Saturday generated thousands of online posts from people sharing the photo and their grief over the gruesome and sad discovery.

News that Camden's mother had been found in a truck parked at a rest stop on Wednesday morning, and that she had admitted to killing him, rocked the nation. McCrery first told police Camdem died because she gave him too much cough syrup.

Police found her sitting inside her truck reading the bible. When asked if she needed assistance, McCrery said, "I just killed my son, I want to kill myself."

Later on Wednesday news broke that the initial autopsy report indicated Camden's death was a result of asphyxiation and was considered a homicide. People were in shock to learn that Camden allegedly died at the hands of his own mother, who had previously lied about the cause of his death.

Julianne McCrery, 42, of Irving, Texas, was charged with second-degree murder Wednesday in the death of her son, Camden Hughes. The police apprehension of her earlier in the day set off a rapid-fire chain of events in which jurisdiction shifted from Maine, where the boy’s body was discovered, to Massachusetts, where McCrery was found and questioned, and finally to New Hampshire, where authorities believe the boy died and the formal charges were ultimately filed.

McCrery was due to be arraigned Thursday morning in Concord, Mass., on a charge of being a fugitive from justice stemming from the murder charge, said New Hampshire Attorney General Michael A. Delaney.

Preliminary autopsy findings showed that the cause of Camden’s death was asphyxiation and the manner of death was homicide, according to Maine’s chief medical


Christian von Atzigen, of Irving, Texas, said he told police he recognized the boy as the son of McCrery, a woman he and his wife have been close friends with since she and his wife met in school 15 years ago.

“We didn’t want to believe it,” von Atzigen said.

“Julie’s a good person. If you would ever ask me if she would harm a hair on that precious little boy’s head, I would say never,” he told The Associated Press. “She loves that boy.”

Von Atzigen said that after McCrery and her husband divorced, he and his wife remained friends with both of them. He said Camden was a happy boy, and he never heard McCrery raise her voice to him.
