A federal grand jury indictment that was filed Thursday accuses an Ohio man who claimed to be a missing child from Illinois of lying to federal agents and of identity theft. Brian Michael Rini, 23, of Medina, now faces two counts of lying to federal agents and one count of aggravated identity theft. He had been arrested earlier on a single false statement count after DNA testing proved he wasn't Timmothy Pitzen, who disappeared in 2011 at age 6. They said that he told them he was Timmothy and that he had escaped two kidnappers after years of sexual abuse. In 2017, Rini was treated at an Ohio center for people with mental health or substance abuse problems, according to court papers.
