I'm wondering about a case we had here in NJ. A mother-who was not particularly attentive, and who may have been more interested in sex than the welfare of her child, took her son Timothy Wiltsey to a carnival in Sayreville, NJ. The child disappeared when the mother walked over to a refreshment stand to get ice cream.( Her version, anyway.)

Timothy's remains-pretty much skeletal be then- were finally found in a wetlands area near the Raritan River.

The Prosecutor's Office , perhaps because of the mother's lifestyle,strongly inferred the mother had killed the child-and that they just lacked enough evidence to charge her. The presence of a "boyfriend" who was a local area cop seemed to add grist to the mill; and,although the investigation was never officially closed, the police and prosecutors have only been interested in finding some way to hang the mother.

It would be interesting to learn the name of the carnival,how long the defendant has worked there, and whether this carnival is the same one that was in Sayreville, NJ when the child went missing.

I'm not an interested party, or involved in any investigation of the Wiltsey case; nut would appreciate any knowledgeable input from fellow Freepers. If there is some sort of link, I would probably forward it to the local newspapers first, and use their pressure to re-open the case.

Hello Gene,
I was 11 years old when Tmothy was "taken" from the Sayreville carnivale. I was there that night with my entire family and many friends and the bottom line is nobody saw this kid at the carnivale. It was at the JF Kennedy Park across the street from the High School I think (I moved away from there 6 months later after living there for 8 years.)We remember the police coming and not letting anyone leave and we remember the mother at the park screaming looking for her son. It was not a large population. You could see one side of the fair and the other with a turn of your head. We don't remeber Timothy being there at all. Unfortunetly a year later they found Timothy's skeloton in a tire in a body of water. No one knows what happened to this poor child. I am not sure if they arrested the mother and her boyfriend. I think she ended up moving to the mid west and now has another child. Hope this helps.
