John Skelton, the Michigan father linked to the disappearance of his three sons, attended a probable cause conference on Monday. He has been charged with three counts of open murder and three counts of evidence tampering in connection with the 2010 case of his missing children, according to FOX 2 Detroit.
Details of the case have drawn attention for more than a decade. Skelton, 53, was previously in prison for unlawful imprisonment connected to his sons’ disappearance, as reported by WWMT. He was nearing possible release when new charges were filed. His initial prison term followed a no contest plea in the abduction of his sons Andrew, Alexander, and Tanner, who have been missing since Thanksgiving 2010.
During a recent Zoom court appearance, the public defender in the Skelton case requested more time to review a large amount of evidence, and the judge rescheduled the hearing for December 17 at 1 p.m. Andrew, Alexander, and Tanner Skelton have been missing for years. Earlier this year, a judge declared them dead, although there is no evidence they were murdered, as per ClickOnDetroit. Authorities continue to seek information about their disappearance.
