**Father of Missing Skelton Boys Arrested for Murder and Evidence Tampering**
In a shocking development nearly 15 years after the mysterious disappearance of the Skelton brothers, their father, John Skelton, has been charged with open murder and tampering with evidence. Authorities announced the arrest during a press conference on Wednesday, reigniting public interest in the chilling case that has haunted Lenawee County, Michigan, since November 2010.
John Skelton, 45, was taken into custody after investigators uncovered new evidence connecting him to the presumed deaths of his sons—Andrew, 9; Alexander, 7; and Tanner, 5—who vanished during a bitter custody dispute with their mother, Tanya Zuvers. For years, Skelton maintained that he had handed the boys over to a secretive group to protect them from alleged abuse, a claim that presented more questions than answers and failed to satisfy investigators.
The Skelton brothers were last seen in their home before they were reported missing on November 26, 2010, shortly after a Thanksgiving visit. Despite extensive search efforts, their whereabouts have remained unknown, making them a lasting symbol of unresolved tragedy.
Tanya Zuvers reacted to the recent charges with a mix of hope and anguish, stating, “I’ve waited a long time for justice, but this comes with heartbreak. My boys deserve to be found.” The emotional weight of the case has drawn attention from media and true crime enthusiasts alike, who have followed the Skelton family’s story over the years.
As Skelton awaits his day in court, the investigation continues, leaving many to wonder if answers may finally emerge from the shadows that have cloaked the fate of the Skelton brothers for more than a decade.
