DETROIT – Brothers Andrew Skelton, Alexander Skelton and Tanner Skelton have been missing since November 2010.
They were reported missing the day after Thanksgiving 2010 from Morenci in Lenawee County. When they went missing, the boys were in the care of their father, John Skelton. He told investigators that he gave them to someone he met online, in what he claims was an effort to protect them. He has since pleaded no contest to three counts of unlawful imprisonment and is serving a 10-15 year prison sentence.
