Six family planning Saturday vigil for missing man Timothy Six Jr

Staff report

NILES

Sharon Six, mother of missing Niles man Timothy Six Jr., is planning a vigil for her son at 1 p.m. Saturday at Waddell Park.

Her Facebook page says she and other family members came to Trumbull County this week “to get answers” as to whether her son is the person whose bones were found behind Econo Lodge on Youngstown Road in Warren on April 26, but they will return to Florida on Saturday night without knowing for sure.

The Facebook post says she’s pretty sure the remains are her son’s because she’s been told the clothes with the bones are the ones he had on the day he went missing.

Dr. Humphrey Germaniuk, Trumbull County coroner, told the family that his dental records are similar to the teeth on the remains, the post says. Dr. Germaniuk will be seeking confirmation from a specialist, it adds.

Timothy, 36, of Niles, was last seen Feb. 18, 2014, at ValleyCare Trumbull Memorial Hospital.

Dr. Germaniuk told The Vindicator on Wednesday that there were no obvious signs of foul play on the bones, but a forensic anthropologist will have to make the determination of how the person died.
