Kidnapping services
Dr Todd Grande discusses the 2011 disappearance of six-year-old Timmothy Pitzen at the hands of his mother, Amy.
On October 18, 2004, Amy had a son named Timmothy. Amy had a brother who died at birth, who was named Timothy. Her son was named after him. But, in order to distinguish the two, her son had twoMs in his name. So, T-I-M-M-O-T-H-Y.

And the fact that Timmothy was, at least at the time, among the living wasn't enough to distinguish them? I know that Amy had mental health problems, but all the same! (confused)
Anyway, Grande displays his characteristically dry sense of humour, as he debunks Amy's claim that she'd left her son safe with people who'd care for him:
It is very unlikely that Amy found people to raise Timmothy, and hide him at the same time. How could she have located people who would do that? Typically, that's considered something like kidnapping, and most kidnappers do not have an extensive advertising budget. Mostly because of the going to prison part.
