Sloops make first court appearance; no charges filed
Charges expected Friday in the murder of Ethan Stacy were delayed, as the Davis County Attorney's Office takes more time to build its case.SALT LAKE CITY -- A woman who says she had a run-in with Nathan Sloop still lives next door to his old house. She says she got a glimpse of Ethan Stacy just days before he died.
Rheta Phillips says she saw Nathan Sloop just a couple of weeks ago as he returned to her street to finish moving out.
"And that little boy came with a woman that was helping them move stuff, and he was putting toys in the trailer," Phillips says. "I thought, ‘Ah, bless his heart.' But he seemed very nervous. He turned around, and this lady had gone back to get something, and he put down his toys and ran after her."
It was much later, when Phillips heard about the arrest, that she realized who that little boy was.
