In a shocking development, court documents have revealed that John Skelton, the father of the three missing Skelton brothers, was actively searching for ways to commit murder just days before his sons disappeared in 2010. This disturbing revelation comes as Skelton, now 45, has been officially charged with the murder of his sons—13-year-old Andrew, 9-year-old Alexander, and 7-year-old Tanner.
The charges mark a significant milestone in a case that has haunted the Lenawee County community and the broader public for the past fifteen years. The Skelton brothers went missing over the Thanksgiving weekend in 2010, and despite extensive search efforts, they have never been found.
According to the recently unsealed court documents, Skelton’s internet search history showed inquiries into lethal methods and other potential means to harm individuals just one week before the boys’ disappearance. This chilling evidence raises questions about his state of mind and activities leading up to that tragic weekend.
Authorities had long suspected Skelton’s involvement in the mysterious disappearance of his children, but evidence to support the murder charges had remained elusive until now. The new revelations come as a result of ongoing investigations and the relentless pursuit of justice by police and community advocates.
The Lenawee County Prosecutor’s Office has stated that bringing charges is a crucial step in addressing the unspeakable pain suffered by the families of the Skelton brothers. As this case moves toward trial, the community remains hopeful for answers that have long remained elusive.
