The mystery of NJ Timothy Wiltsey’s disappearance was recently explored on the Dateline Blue Blanket episode. On the episode, they even said he was found dead.
According to his mother, Michelle Lodzinski, Timothy William “Timmy” Wiltsey was a 5-year-old kid from South Amboy, New Jersey, who went missing on May 25, 1991 at a carnival in nearby Sayreville.
About 11 months later, his remains were discovered across the Raritan River in the marshlands of nearby Edison, near an office park where Lodzinski had previously worked.
Michelle changed her account about how her son went missing within a month of his kidnapping, and her cold demeanor on the few occasions she talked publicly about the case made her a suspect.

Timothy Wiltsey’s disappearance became such a major topic in the United States that it was even included on Wikipedia, according to Dateline Blue Blanker Musterty NJ.
Michelle Lodzinski later told police that she and her boyfriend spent the afternoon playing kickball, walking around the lake, and visiting the petting zoo in a park near Holmdel.
Lodzinski arrived at the carnival just after 7 p.m., without picking up her niece or calling the girl’s mother.
Jennifer Blair, another niece, was seen with a friend at an unspecified time in the future. To report the incident, the three went to a Sayreville auxiliary police officer.
She’d told them she’d lost track of Wiltsey after leaving him in a carnival ride line while she went to buy a drink and they observed her frantically looking around.
Timothy Wiltsey was discovered dead
The most recent information on Timothy Wiltsey’s case is that he was discovered deceased. In South Amboy, he and his mother shared a house.
After misplacing her son at a fair during Memorial Day weekend, Lodzinski reported him missing.
Authorities have been on the lookout for him, but we haven’t been able to locate him. His head and bones were discovered in a creek in April 1992, after a year.
Wiltsey’s remains were located near Lodzinski’s workplace, the Raritan Center in Edison. However, there was no evidence of his mother’s DNA at the spot.
The state’s only substantial piece of evidence was the boy’s blanket, which was recovered with his body. However, this was insufficient evidence of her wrongdoing.
