Nathan and Stephanie Sloop: Volatile souls long tempting tragedy Salt Lake Tribune
Weeks, his mother reported Ethan missing from the Layton apartment they shared with Nathan. Ensnared by their conflicting stories the next day, police say, the couple admitted killing Ethan and led officers to his body, buried off a trail near Powder Mountain Ski Resort.Stephanie told police the beatings began May 5, and said the next day they locked the battered boy in his room while she and Nathan went to the old memorial courthouse in Farmington to get married.
After Ethan died, the new Mrs. Sloop went to nearby stores for provisions to conceal his death: lighter fluid for Ethan; slushy drinks for Stephanie and Nathan.
They chose not to burn his body, instead taking a hammer to Ethan's face to make him less recognizable.
As Stephanie tells it, they buried him on Mother's Day, a fine spring day.

A perfect storm »Stephanie, 27, and Nathan, 31, had been together just seven months when they were arrested May 11 in Ethan's death.
