Indictment Returned Against Murder, Kidnapping Suspect Caught In Monterey

A man accused of a murder and kidnapping that lead to searches in Monterey this past July has been indicted.

27-year-old Tyler Rios received a six-count indictment Friday for murdering 24-year old Yasemin Uyar, kidnapping their son and desecrating her remains.

Law enforcement seized Rios in July at the Bethel Inn Hotel in Monterey. Rios then lead officers to a wooded area on State Route 70 where Uyar’s remains were found. Son, Sebastian Rios, was unharmed.

Rios fled from New Jersey. Detectives believe that Rios has family in Putnam County.
