ADRIAN — Testimony in John Skelton’s preliminary examination Tuesday focused on a 2010 Florida custody dispute and internet searches found on a computer examined during the investigation into his three missing sons.

Florida attorney Jason Gieger testified Skelton did not accuse Tanya Zuvers of sexually abusing the boys during a September 2010 custody hearing.

Gieger said the dispute instead centered on Zuvers’ prior conviction.

FBI digital forensic examiner Walker E. Sharp testified a laptop associated with Skelton contained searches for “how to break a neck” and “how can you break a neck with your hands.”

Sharp also testified earlier searches asked whether rat poison could kill a person and whether it was odorless and tasteless.
