Local family searching for toddler believed to have been taken by father in Colorado
A local family is asking for the public's help in finding a 2-year-old boy believed to have been taken by his father.
The toddler, Luke Turner, lives in Colorado. The child's mother, Brandy, is originally from Brooke County and his grandmother and extended family on his mother's side still live in the Ohio Valley.

Authorities in Colorado said witnesses last saw Luke with his father, Monty Turner, camping just days before the Fourth of July holiday.
David Stiles, Luke's great uncle and Brandy's uncle, said, "The person that runs the campground where he left from said he left between midnight and 1 a.m. on Monday night. The owner of the campsite said, 'I hope this boy doesn't show up on a milk carton.'"
Stiles said there is a lot of uncertainty about where Monty would have gone, and although the motive is not very clear, police believe Turner feared if his wife divorced him, he'd never see the boy again.
"Brandy was told by one other family member that when they questioned him as to why he was doing this, he said, because since we're separated, he knew Brandy was probably going to divorce him and move to West Virginia (and) he'd never see the boy again, so he was just going to take him."
Family member said it's possible Luke's disappearance could have been planned.
"He took certain papers and left certain papers and the papers he took were the boy's Social Security and birth certificate and so forth, so things don't sound right," Stiles said.

This was on my local station, but I couldn't find the story local to CO...has anyone from the Longmont area heard this story?
He is the nephew of a friend of mine. Prayers please.
