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.

TIMESTAMPS (6:27) Charlotte Sena Update (10:37) Moms Who Murder About 2.5% of all homicide arrests in the United States are for parents who have killed their children. In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss ‘Moms Who Murder’ cases that have happened in the past few months. Earlier in 2023, Tiffanie Lucas wrote on social media that her sons were “always together” and “never apart,” adding that together they were three souls and one heart. She added that she wouldn’t know “how to smile, love, or survive if it wasn’t for them.”  In November 2023, Tiffanie alleged shot her sons in their head while they lay in their beds.   Brandy McCaslin had been struggling with her mental health and had attempted to take her life earlier this year.  When her three children were taken to her home for a supervised visit, she ended up killing them before taking her own life. Nancy Johnson and her husband Derek had been having marital issues this year.  The family had moved interstate due to the cost of living.  By September 2023, the couple had separated and would take turns living in the family home with their two young children.  Derek broke into the home after he noticed there had been no movement from inside for a period of time.  He discovered the lifeless bodies of his two young children and of his estranged wife.  According to police, Nancy had orchestrated the scene to look like a triple homicide in the hope that police would think Derek was involved.  Law enforcement have ruled this case a murder/suicide.  Read our blogs for these cases - here.

In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss two cases where women were killed in golf cart accidents right after they were married.

Marina and Robbie Morgan were married in Sydney, Australia in 2022.  They had previously postponed their wedding due to the pandemic.  The couple held a lavish ceremony and jetted off to the beautiful Hamilton Island for their honeymoon.  Golf carts are the primary mode of transport on the island.  Just days into their honeymoon, Robbie noticed that the battery on their cart was low and he attempted to make a u-turn to return to charge the vehicle.  The cart flipped on top of Marina, killing her at the scene.  Robbie is facing charges in relation to his new wife’s death. There has been a big update in the case of the Australian Mushroom Deaths, which we covered on a previous episode.  Erin Patterson has been arrested and charged with both murder and attempted murder.  We run through the latest in this episode.      Read our blogs for these cases - here!

TIMESTAMP: (1:35) Natalee Holloway had the world had her feet when she went on a graduation trip to Aruba in 2005.  She was enjoying spending time with her friends in a beautiful destination. One night, towards the end of her vacation, Natalee went to a nightclub on the island where she would run into Joran van der Sloot.  This encounter would change the lives of the Holloway family forever. Natalee was not seen alive again after this night.  As of November 2023, her remains have still not been found.  Over the years, Joran van der Sloot has confessed to his involvement in Natalee’s disappearance and death many times.  He has also taken back his confessions and changed his stories frequently.  In 2010, five years to the day that Natalee vanished, Joran met Stephany Flores in a casino in Peru.  They went back to his hotel room where he brutally murdered her with a tennis racquet.  Joran was eventually sentenced to 28 years in prison for this murder. In October 2023, Joran gave another confession and gave details as to how he brutally killed Natalee on an Aruban beach in 2005.  Natalee’s mother Beth believes his story.  “It’s over. Joran van der Sloot is no longer the suspect in my daughter’s murder. He is the killer,” Beth said.
