Uncle Timothy Whitt Picks Up Young Nephew Zane Fails To Return Boy To Mansfield Mother

MANSFIELD, OH. (THECOUNT) — Mansfield, Ohio police say they are seeking Timothy Whitt, who picked up his young nephew, Zane Clay, and then failed to return the boy.

Whitt, whose last known address is 379 S Main St in Mansfield, OH, is reported missing along with the boy, after he picked up 6-year-old Clay, to spend time with him, but did not return.

Both were last seen on Pleasant Avenue in Mansfield around 9 a.m. Wednesday, reports 10TV.

Clay’s mother told police the pair did not return home that evening as expected and Whitt has always come back on time when picking up Clay in the past.

She has been unable to contact Whitt and has not seen or heard from them since they departed her home.

She reported them missing around 8:20 Wednesday night.

Whitt and Clay are believed to be on-foot because Whitt does not own a vehicle, police said.

Police said there is no information indicating either are in immediate danger but there is a concern for their safety because no one has heard from them.

Clay’s mother told police Whitt does stay with different friends as he is “in-between homes.”

Whitt is described as 5-feet 6-inches tall and weighs 180 pounds. He has brown hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a tan Carhartt jacket and blue jeans.

Clay is 3-feet 5-inches tall and weighs 48 pounds. He has reddish hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing the black and gray coat he has on in the photo above, a red t-shirt with Mario on it, black sweat pants, and black and blue snow boots.

If anyone has any information on where they may be, they are asked to call Mansfield police at 419-522-1234.
