7th September 1944 52FG Loss

Hello,
I have not been able to find the pilot's fate ?

7th September, 1944
52 FG/5 FS
P51B
42-106605
"VF-N"
"Boots"
On a Training flight over Italy.
No search made ?
Presumably because over allied occupied territory ?
Pilot: 2Lt. Harold Nelson TIMMER- O-714526 - MIA.
Enlisted at Lansing, Michigan, 12th December 1942.
Residence Kent County Michigan.
Date of Birth 1922.
Birth Place Panama Canal Zone.
MACR 8355.

Where did the aircraft crash ?
What became of its pilot ?

I have searched ABMC; DPAA; Findagrave; NARA WW2 POW lists and Fold3; Headstone request forms.

Nothing seems to reveal if this airman survived or was killed ?

Equally the crash site of the a/c does not seem to have been found ?

I would have thought that the wreckage would have been recovered along with the remains.

Any info is welcome
Alex
