223. “Clandestine Operation” The Case of the Skelton Brothers - Morenci, Michigan [Part 1]
Description
Three missing boys, a noose, and a woman named Joann Taylor.
In the fall of 2010, 43-year-old Tanya Skelton and 39-year-old John Skelton were going through a bitter divorce.
Caught in the middle were their three boys: nine-year-old Andrew, seven-year-old Alexander, and five-year-old Tanner Skelton.
Over the Thanksgiving Holiday while the boys were with John Skelton, they mysteriously vanished. John claimed the boys were with a woman named Joann Taylor, but investigators could find no proof that Joann Taylor ever existed.
If you have any information about the disappearance or whereabouts of Andrew, Alexander, and Tanner Skelton, you are urged to contact the Michigan State Police at 1-517-636-0689, or the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST, that’s 1-800-843-5678.
