TIMESTAMPS (9:39) - The Skelton Brothers The marriage of Tanya and John Skelton was falling apart in 2010. The couple shared three sons, Andrew, Alexander, and Tanner Skelton who were aged 9, 7 and 5. John had left town with the children on multiple occasions that year, causing Tanya to file for divorce and obtain full custody of the boys. By Thanksgiving 2010, the couple were amicable enough that Tanya agreed to let John have the boys for the holiday, on the condition that he would return them to her on Friday. When John had not returned the boys by the afternoon, Tanya began to panic. She tracked John down at a hospital where he had been admitted following a failed suicide attempt. The boys were nowhere to be found. November 2023 marked 13 years since the boys vanished. John has refused to give any information about their whereabouts and has always maintained he did not hurt his children. He said at one point they would ‘hibernate until they graduate.’ All of the boys would now be aged over 18 and none of them have been seen since Thanksgiving Day 2010. In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the disappearance of the Skelton Brothers from Morenci, Michigan. John is currently in prison on kidnapping charges and his prison term expires Nov. 29, 2025. Read our blog for this case We are now on Patreon! Thank you for your support.
