On Thanksgiving Day 2010, nine-year-old Andrew Skelton, seven-year-old Alexander Skelton, and five-year-old Tanner Lucas Skelton were last seen playing in the backyard of their father’s home in Morenci, Michigan. The boys were due to be returned to their mother the next day but never arrived, and November 26, 2010, is recorded as their official missing date.

Their father, John Russell Skelton, was later hospitalized in Ohio for what authorities described as a suicide attempt or mental-health crisis. He gave investigators conflicting accounts, first saying he had left the boys with a woman named Joann Taylor and later saying he had given them to an unnamed protective group; police could not verify either claim. Cellphone records place John traveling from Morenci into Ohio and back during the early morning hours the boys disappeared, leaving a gap of roughly two hours that has never been accounted for publicly.

Extensive searches were conducted across Michigan and Ohio over the years. A no-contest plea in 2011 resulted in John Skelton’s conviction on three counts of unlawful imprisonment and a prison sentence. As of this thread, the boys remain legally missing and their whereabouts unknown. Does anyone have information about the boys’ last known movements or about that two-hour window of cellphone activity?
