According to the Union County Prosecutors Office, the incident took place in July of 2021 and started a widely broadcasted Amber Alert which helped discover the body of his ex in Tennessee.

When the son did not show up for school on the morning of July 9th of 2021 and the mother never showed up for her scheduled day at work, Rios became the main suspect in foul play. Once authorities were notified of the two is missing, the Amber Alert was sent out throughout New Jersey and other states.
