Brian Michael Rini said he escaped kidnappers who sexually abused him.
Brian Michael Rini is pictured in an undated handout photo provided by the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office in Cincinnati.A federal grand jury indicted Brian Michael Rini, 23, on two counts of making false statements and one count of aggravated identity theft after DNA determined that he was not 14-year-old Pitzen.
He eventually confessed, telling investigators that he came up with the ruse to get away from his family. Pitzen vanished from in Aurora, Illinois, after his mother, Amy Fry-Pitzen, took him out of school early in May 2011. She was found dead of an apparent suicide in an Illinois hotel a few days later.
Police said his mother left several notes behind, saying Pitzen was with people who loved him -- but he was never found.
