On Nov. 26, 2010, a mother faces her worst nightmare. Andrew, 9 years old, Alexander, 7, and Tanner, 5, disappear. The boys’ father, John Skelton, is the main suspect. Almost a decade later, the mystery of what happened to the boys remains open, with their small Michigan hometown wondering - could a father have committed an unimaginable crime? Reporter Jeremy Allen investigates.
Shattered: Black Friday is a 10-episode podcast from WDIV Local 4 and Graham Media Group. Allen revisits returns to Morenci, Mich. to interview key players in the unsolved disappearance of the boys and follows new leads in an attempt to crack the case.
