Input: Prosecutors also outlined the ways that Ms. Lodzinski’s story changed over time. At first, she said that she had simply turned from her child for a brief moment and then he was gone. 
  
 Pressed by investigators, she said she was threatened at knife point and Timmy was taken by force. In another version, she said she had asked a woman she knew casually — Ellen, no last name — and two men to watch Timmy while she went for a soda. They were all gone when she returned. 
  
 She was also not doing the things the public expects from a grieving parent. 
  
 “Everyone is waiting to see a grieving mother on TV break down, crying, hysterical because the public, they thrive on that stuff,” she told reporters in 1991. “But I’m not going to do it.” 
  
 Around the time she made those comments, Daniel O’Malley, a retired science teacher, was out looking for wildlife in an undeveloped part of Raritan Center, an industrial park in Edison, when he stumbled upon a sneaker. 
  
 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles adorned the shoe. Mr. O’Malley had followed Timmy’s case, he testified, and he recalled the description of what Timmy was wearing when he disappeared. 
  
 But when the police showed the sneaker to Ms. Lodzinski, she said that she did not think it was Timmy’s, according to testimony from one of the investigators, Raymond Szkodny, a retired Sayreville detective sergeant. 
  
 The turtles on this sneaker, she told him, were not the same as the turtles on the shoes she bought for Timmy. Later, however, she conceded it might belong to her son. ||||| NEW BRUNSWICK—Almost a quarter century after five-year-old Timothy Wiltsey mysteriously disappeared, his mother was found guilty of his murder today in a dramatic end to one of New Jersey's most notorious cold cases. 
  
 A jury of seven men and five women convicted Michelle Lodzinski, 48, after eight weeks of testimony before Middlesex County Superior Court Judge Dennis Nieves in New Brunswick. They deliberated just four hours after the foreman was replaced Tuesday with an alternate because of an undisclosed "personal matter." 
  
 As the verdict was announced, Lodzinski dropped her head forward and there was an audible gasp from the large crowd in the courtroom. Her entire body began to shake noticeably, including her head, with her hands clenched tightly in front of her. She did not say anything. 
  
 A day of reckoning for a mother 
  
 Most of the jurors looked straight ahead into the courtroom as the verdict was read, showing little emotion. 
  
 As his sister was handcuffed, a visibly distraught Michael Lodzinski shouted out "I love you sis! I love you very much." 
  
 She was immediately led out of the courtroom by Middlesex County Sheriff's Officers and returned to the Middlesex County Adult Correction Center in North Brunswick to await sentencing in August. Lodzinski has been in custody since her arrest in August 2014. 
  
 Her attorney, Gerald Krovatin—who had sought a mistrial after the foreman was replaced—indicated he will appeal. "Michelle was extremely disappointed with the verdict, and we'll meet in a few days. We're exploring all alternatives," he said. 
  
 Lodzinski did not testify during the trial. 
  
 Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew Carey had no immediate comment. 
  
 The verdict came 9,125 days after Lodzinski first reported Timmy missing. The former South Amboy resident had long denied she had anything to do with her son's death. She said Timothy disappeared on May 25, 1991, as she went to get a soda while the pair were attending a traveling carnival in nearby Sayreville. 
  
 The case made national headlines as volunteers combed the area for signs of the small boy, whose smiling face was later one of the first to appear on a milk carton to raise awareness about missing children. 
  
 Timothy's skeletal remains were found nearly a year later in a marsh in Raritan Center in Edison, near where Lodzinski had once worked. A cause of death was never established because of the body's deterioration. 
  
 Though some investigators had long suspected Lodzinski had something to do with her son's disappearance, it took prosecutors more than two decades to charge her. She was arrested in 2014 in Florida, where she lived with her two teenage boys, both born after Timmy's death. 
  
 At the core of the case was a child's blanket, found near where the remains of Timothy were discovered, that prosecutors said came out of the Lodzinski home. 
  
 "She dumped his body in a creek like a piece of trash, but she left behind a telling clue: this blanket, " declared Deputy First Assistant Prosecutor Christie Bevacqua in her opening statement to the jury. "No other killer could get this." 
  
 Eight weeks and dozens of witnesses later, a jury agreed. 
  
 None of the jurors would comment on their verdict as they left the courthouse, or discuss their deliberations. Several hugged each other on the street corner outside the courtroom, before heading into the parking garage to their cars. 
  
 Among those in the courtroom was Sgt. Jeffrey Sprague of the Sayreville police department, who was one of principal investigators in 1991 and testified at trial. He said he wanted to be there to hear the verdict. 
  
 "It took some time to get this to trial, and a lot of hard work was done by everyone involved, but the verdict was a correct one," he said. 
  
 Timeline of a 25-year-old case 
  
 Denise Hogan, a former teacher at Timmy's elementary school in South Amboy, called the verdict bittersweet. 
  
 "I hate to say I'm very happy about it, but I am happy. It took twenty-five years, and we knew back then that she was guilty," she said. 
  
 Hogan, who was active in a volunteer group that distributed fliers and held fundraisers to help in the search for Timmy when he was missing, said the murder conviction would help heal some of the wounds that the South Amboy community felt after the death of the 5-year-old boy. 
  
  
  
 "I think justice has finally been served for him," Hogan said. "He can finally rest in peace." 
  
 Murder is punishable by up to life in prison. Sentencing was set for August 23.

Output:
Nearly a quarter-century after she reported him missing, Michelle Lodzinski has been found guilty of murdering her 5-year-old son. The conviction closes one of New Jersey's "most notorious cold cases," the New York Times reports. Lodzinski told police that her son, Timothy "Timmy" Wiltsey, disappeared from a carnival in Sayreville, N.J., on May 25, 1991, saying she turned away from him for a few minutes to get a soda and when she turned back around, he was gone. A search ensued, including a helicopter and a scuba team. Timmy's disappearance was featured on America's Most Wanted, and his photo appeared on milk cartons. In April of 1992, police identified human remains found in a creek at an industrial park as Timmy's. Investigators had for some time suspected that Lodzinski, now 48, was involved with Timmy's disappearance, NJ.com reports. Ultimately, it was child's blanket found near Timmy's remains that cracked the case some two decades later. During the eight-week trial, three witnesses recalled seeing the blanket at Lodzinski's home. "She dumped his body in a creek like a piece of trash, but she left behind a telling clue: this blanket, " the prosecutor said. "No other killer could get this." Before her 2014 arrest, Lodzinski was living in Florida with her two teenage sons. When the guilty verdict was read Wednesday, per NJ.com, there was a gasp in the courtroom and Lodzinski began to shake. She faces life in prison. "I hate to say I'm very happy about it, but I am happy," a former teacher from Timmy's school says. "It took 25 years, and we knew back then that she was guilty." Lodzinski plans to appeal.
