preliminary investigation indicates that Keyton had been in the care of his
mother, Cami Lee Moyer, 38, since last night.

until fire rescue arrived and took over.
It is unknown, at this time,
how long Keyton had been in the car. Sheriff’s detectives said they are
still working to establish a chronological timeline of events and are
interviwing Moyer.
