Yasmine Uray, a young mother who was allegedly abducted with her 2-year-old son has been found dead in Tennessee, her family said. Uray who was 24 years old, was found in Tennessee, where authorities also safely located her baby.
Sebastian Rios and his mother were reported missing Friday, with authorities canceling the Amber Alert that has been activated in New Jersey and Pennsylvania after finding the boy early Saturday.
According to nbcphiladelphia, the suspected abductor is the boy’s father, Tyler Rios, who was arrested in the city of Monterey, where police found his son.
The victim´s mother, Karen Uray told reporters that her daughter suffered a violent past with Rios. “I would like to say that it’s something we never thought would happen but when you live with a child that’s going through a domestic violence relationship for a long time, it is something you learn to know it’s going to happen at some point. You always hope it isn’t, you always pray that it isn’t,” she said.
“This is probably the hardest few days of our lives. (Sebastian is) happy, he’s playing right now. He’s obviously confused, asking for mommy, “she added.
