The story of the missing Skelton brothers
For the better part of a decade, there have been more questions than answers in the disappearance of the three Skelton brothers.
The Skelton brothers have been missing from Morenci, Michigan, since 2010. Their father sits behind bars, and their mother holds out hope that her sons will be found alive.
It's been seven years since anyone has seen Andrew, Alexander and Tanner Skelton. The three boys vanished from their home in Morenci.
On Nov. 26, 2010, the day after Thanksgiving, the boys' mother, Tanya Skelton, told Morenci police Officer Ryan Hillard that her husband, John Skelton, was supposed to bring the children back to her. But he never did.
An Amber Alert was issued, and the FBI came to town as massive searches spanning down through Ohio began.
The case is still open, meaning investigators are actively working to find the boys.
