On Friday, an Amber Alert was issued after two-year-old Sebastian Rios didn’t show up for daycare and his mother, 24-year-old Yasemin Uyar missed a work shift. The Union County Prosecutor’s Office said they were kidnapped by Sebastian’s father, Tyler Rios,27, and were taken to Monterey, Tennessee. Sebastian was found alive but his mother’s body was later found in a wooded area.
According to the New York Post, Uyar filed a restraining order against Rois after he allegedly abused her throughout their relationship. “Typical textbook case of domestic violence. Progressively got worse and this is where it’s ending,” said Uyar’s friend Robyn Morris.
