Morenci, MI – This Thanksgiving weekend marks 13 years since Andrew, Alexander, and Tanner Skelton vanished from Morenci at just 9, 7, and 5 years old, respectively.
Investigators say on the night after Thanksgiving in 2010, the boys’ father, John Skelton, took the boys in the midst of a divorce and custody battle with their mother, Tanya Zuvers. Police say in those early morning hours, John’s phone could be tracked leaving his Morenci home, traveling 25 miles southwest into Holiday City, Ohio, and returning.
Andrew, Alexander and Tanner haven’t been seen since. John Skelton was charged with unlawful imprisonment of his sons, and is currently in jail.
A representative with the Michigan Department of Corrections told WLEN News this September that he was denied parole during his most recent parole consideration.
The parole board entered a continuance to his maximum, meaning he will remain incarcerated with the MDOC until his maximum sentence is completed in November of 2025.
If anyone has information about the disappearance or whereabouts of Andrew, Alexander, and Tanner Skelton, you are urged to contact the Michigan State Police or the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
