**Morenci Demands Answers 15 Years On as Dad Faces New Charges in Skelton Case**
MORENCI, MI — Nearly 15 years after the disappearance of three young boys, the small town of Morenci is still grappling with the haunting mystery surrounding the Skelton case. The community’s anguish has intensified following new developments, as their father, John Skelton, faces fresh charges of murder and tampering with evidence.
The boys—Andrew, Alexander, and Tanner Skelton—vanished on November 26, 2010, during a weekend visit with their father. Despite extensive searches and ongoing investigations, the search for the brothers has yielded no answers, leaving a scar on the Morenci community that refuses to heal.
Authorities recently announced the new charges against Skelton. Prosecutors hope the added evidence will shed light on the boys’ fate and bring closure to a case that has captivated and horrified residents for over a decade. “We owe it to those boys and their family to find the truth,” said Morenci Mayor, Lisa Hartman. “This community deserves answers.”
The emotional toll on the town is palpable. Every year, on the anniversary of the boys’ disappearance, locals gather to honor their memory, hoping for any information that could lead to their discovery. Vigil candles still flicker in the windows of homes, symbolizing a collective hope that one day, the boys will be found, or at least, that their families will finally receive the closure they desperately seek.
As the legal proceedings against Skelton unfold, the tight-knit community watches anxiously. Many residents believe that justice can only be achieved when the boys are found, and they continue to advocate for renewed efforts in the search. In Morenci, the pain of the past lingers, and with each passing year, the demand for answers grows louder.
