Mother of missing 2-year-old speaks out

RIMROCK, AZ – The mother of a 2-year-old boy who went missing from a northern Arizona campground Sunday said she is in no way connected with his disappearance and is worried about what happened to him.

“He was gone without a trace,” said Charity Newton. “How are you supposed to deal with that, really?”

Sylar Newton was last seen around 12:30 a.m. when he was sleeping in a tent at the Beaver Creek Campground, nearly 50 miles south of Flagstaff.

He was staying with a friend of Charity Newton named Christina Priem, who is now Sylar’s custodial parent.

“I don’t know how to feel about it,” Newton said. “I have moments of hope and then moments of sheer terror.”
