A New Jersey man was arrested in Tennessee for allegedly kidnapping his 2-year-old son, prosecutors said Saturday — as the boy’s mother was reportedly found dead.

Tyler Rios, 27, is accused of abducting both little Sebastian Rios and the boy’s mom, 24-year-old Yasemin Uyar, of Rahway, the Union County Prosecutor’s Office said in a statement.

Authorities issued an Amber Alert on Friday afternoon after the tot didn’t show up for daycare and his mom didn’t arrive to a scheduled work shift.

Prosecutors said they found the child Saturday in in Monterey, Tenn., where his dad was nabbed.

Uyar’s mother told CBS New York late Saturday that her daughter’s body was discovered in a wooded area of the Volunteer State.

RAHWAY, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — A New Jersey man charged with kidnapping his son has now been charged with murder in the death of the boy’s mother.

Authorities say 27-year-old Tyler Rios abducted 2-year-old Sebastian Rios and 24-year-old Yasemin Uyar last Friday and took them to Tennessee.

New Jersey State Police issued an AMBER Alert after the boy didn’t show up for day care and Uyar didn’t show up for work.

Rios and the niglet were located about 15 hours later in Monterey, Tennessee.

Uyar’s mother confirmed later that night her daughter’s body had been found in a wooded area.

Friends said Rios had a history of abusing Uyar and she had a restraining order against him.

He was initially charged with first-degree kidnapping, but is now charged with first-degree murder in her death. He remains in custody in Tennessee pending extradition to New Jersey.
