Carnival Lies: The Murder of Timothy Wiltsey

from Twisted and Mysterious

This week on Twisted and Mysterious, Faren takes us through the heartbreaking case of Timothy Wiltsey, a 5-year-old boy whose 1991 disappearance and murder devastated his New Jersey community. His mother, Michelle Lodzinski, first claimed he was kidnapped from a carnival, but her shifting stories and suspicious behavior raised more questions than answers. After decades of investigation, Lodzinski was finally convicted of Timothy’s murder—only to later have that conviction overturned. We dive into the tragedy, the tangled web of lies, and the shocking twists in a case that still leaves many wondering what really happened to Timothy.Thank you for listening!
