**Father of Missing Skelton Boys Charged with Murder Nearly 15 Years Later**
*By WDIV Local 4 News*
In a stunning development, John Skelton, the father of the three missing Skelton boys—Andrew, Alexander, and Tanner—has been charged with murder and evidence tampering, nearly 15 years after the boys disappeared under mysterious circumstances. The announcement comes just weeks before Skelton was set to be released from prison, where he has been serving time for unlawful imprisonment related to the case.
The Skelton boys went missing on November 26, 2010, during a visit with their father in Morenci, Michigan. For years, their disappearance has fueled a community’s anguish and a relentless search for answers. Despite extensive investigations, the boys have never been found, and Skelton has long been considered a person of interest.
Authorities presented new evidence that contributed to the charges, though specifics have yet to be disclosed. Prosecutors indicated that the evidence points to Skelton’s involvement in his sons’ presumed deaths and his attempts to conceal key information. “We are committed to pursuing justice for Andrew, Alexander, and Tanner,” said Lenawee County Prosecutor, John K. Parnell, at a press conference revealing the charges.
The Skelton case has remained a high-profile mystery in Southeast Michigan, drawing attention from both local residents and national media. With these new developments, the community is hoping for closure as they remember the boys who vanished one fateful Thanksgiving. As legal proceedings commence, many questions remain, but the resolution of this long-standing case has finally begun to take shape.
