PRESCOTT
- The judge in the child abuse case against Nancy Collins on Monday
agreed to an emergency defense motion to continue holding the remains of
2-year-old Sylar Newton, found dead at the Beaver Creek campground last summer.
Attorney Sebrena Shaw filed the motion when she learned
that the state was about to release the remains to Newton's biological mother.
Collins, 57, faces charges of child abuse in the case, as
does her daughter, Christina Priem, 37, Newton's custodial mother.
Priem also faces drug charges linked to the child's death.
Sylar Newton's remains were found in a wash less than 2 miles from the Beaver
Creek Campgrounds on Aug. 10, 2010, after he was reported missing July
25, 2010.
Newton went to the Beaver Creek Campground with Priem,
her two children, a family friend and Collins on July 23. Priem said she
last saw Newton at 12:30 a.m. July 25 in a tent with the family, and
discovered him missing at 1:45 a.m.
A family member called the
Sedona Fire Department about 15 minutes later, but the call did not make
it to the sheriff's communications center. The campground host called
the Sheriff's Office at 2:30 a.m., and deputies arrived about 30 minutes
later. A massive search began to find Newton, who went missing wearing only a diaper.
Witnesses at the campground told detectives Newton
appeared as if he was under the influence of a narcotic or medication,
Yavapai County Sheriff's spokesman Dwight D'Evelyn said.
Campers staying near where Newton disappeared told deputies they saw Priem or
Collins verbally abuse and push him to the ground the evening before he
went missing, according to a search warrant. Campers also told deputies
they heard him crying between 7:30 and 9:30 p.m., but nothing after that.
The motion filed on behalf of Collins included an email
from Doctor Richard Trepeta, who was hired by the defense to conduct a
forensic examination of the child's remains. He visited the Yavapai
County Medical Examiner's Office on Aug. 26.
In his Oct. 2, 2011,
email, Trepeta stated that, when the staff brought him a box containing
the remains, "the box was secured at the top with two pieces of tape
and the flaps were tented open, and an approximate 6-inch gap, exposing
the contents of the box."
This, he said, "raises the issue of security of the contents of the box and the integrity of the remains."
Trepeta added that "there were multiple envelopes and plastic bags, most of
which were not secured in a closed and sealed manner" and that "there
were numerous bags that were labeled that had no contents."
"Due to the fact that the evidence box and the envelopes and bags found with
were open, I had no way to confirm that they were definitively related
to this case or that other human remains had not been mixed in with
them," Trepeta wrote.
He asked that the remains be held until the case was closed, "in the event we need access to them for further study."
Trepeta did report that he found "no toxicology evidence to indicate foul play" and no evidence of homicide.
Shaw said "vast amounts of discovery" still need to be done, despite the family's need for closure.
Deputy County Attorney Dana Owens argued, "An abundance of time has passed
since last March, and the chain of custody issue was raised without merit."
"If evidentiary issues are really a concern, no one has
requested any interviews with any of the numerous medical professionals
in this case," she added.
Yavapai County Superior Court Judge
Tina Ainley said she was inclined to allow the defense more time. "I
believe this court does need to apply a balancing of rights for the
victim and the defendant," she said. "When it comes to discovery, even
though the cause of death may not be an issue" the defense expert may
still have testing to do.
She agreed to hold off on the release until mid-January 2012.

Sylar Newton case: What the hell???
Posted on April 25, 2012 by Valhall
Excerpt:
So a pre-trial hearing took place last week in which motions filed by the defense attorneys for Christina Priem and Nancy Collins were heard. Based on the reports of what took place in that pre-trial hearing I have to just ask…what the hell is going on with this case, or lack thereof?
Christina and her mother Nancy are charged with child abuse in the death of 2-year-old Sylar Newton whose body was found in a wash two weeks after he was reported missing from the Beaver Creek campground where the family was camping out. Reports that came out after the boy was reported missing stated there were accounts of the child appearing to be drugged earlier the evening before his disappearance. That led to charges that Christina and Nancy had either intentionally given the child Klonopin or had left the medication in a place the child could get to and accidentally ingest.
It would not be the first time the toddler had ingested Klonopin while in the care of this family. A prior incident had landed Sylar in the ER after he ingested the medication. In the prior incident Priem had eventually taken the boy to the ER, but had never called 911. And such was the case that was developed against Priem and Collins on the night that ended with Sylar missing, and eventually confirmed dead. Or so we thought.

Flagstaff woman pleads guilty in Sylar Newton disappearance and death case
Christina Priem, 36, of Flagstaff, has pled guilty to two counts of Child Abuse in a Yavapai County Superior Court on Tuesday. Priem was arrested Dec. 6, 2010, by the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office on charges of child abuse and involving minors in a drug offense.
These offenses stem from the July 2010 investigation into the disappearance and death of 2-year-old Sylar Newton. Priem, the caretaker of Sylar, reported him missing on Sunday, July 25, 2010, while camping at the Beaver Creek Campground. In August, Sylar's remains were found outside the Beaver Creek Campground area. During the course of the investigation into Sylar's death, detectives developed information that minor children under Priem's care and control, including Sylar, were exposed to illicit or prescription drugs.
Priem's sentencing is scheduled for June 4, 4 p.m. before the Judge Michael Bluff. Priem faces a range of sentence of 10 to 32.75 years in prison and possible lifetime probation following release from prison.
"Our office commends the outstanding work of the detectives and all the volunteers for their efforts to find Sylar and to investigate his death," said the prosecutor, Dana Owens, of the Yavapai County Attorney's Office.
