On Tuesday, John Skelton appeared in court via Zoom, charged with the murder of his three sons—9-year-old Andrew, 7-year-old Alexander, and 5-year-old Tanner—who disappeared under mysterious circumstances 15 years ago. The boys’ case gained national attention after they vanished in November 2010, following a Thanksgiving visit with Skelton amid an ongoing custody dispute.
John Skelton has long maintained that he handed his sons over to an underground group to protect them from what he claimed to be an abusive situation with their mother. However, authorities have found no credible evidence supporting the existence of such a group, leading to widespread skepticism about his claims.
Despite extensive search efforts and investigations over the years, the Skelton brothers have remained missing, casting a long shadow over the family and community. The mystery of their disappearance took a darker turn as Skelton now faces open murder charges, reflecting the gravity of the situation and the enduring pain experienced by the boys’ family and friends.
The court proceedings have been closely followed by the public, with a probable cause conference rescheduled to allow for more in-depth examination of the evidence. Advocates for the missing boys are hopeful that this legal action will bring some semblance of closure to the case that has haunted their loved ones for over a decade.
As this case unfolds, many continue to search for answers, hoping that justice will soon be served for Andrew, Alexander, and Tanner Skelton.
