Description

A baseball, Mose Gingrich, and a pre-programmed cellphone.


After the disappearances of nine-year-old Andrew, seven-year-old Alexander, and five-year-old Tanner Skelton, their father, 39-year-old John Skelton kept changing his story.


After investigators proved that Joann Taylor didn’t exist, John kept changing his story, even from behind bars. 


Over a decade passed when the boys' mother, Tanya Zuvers, petitioned the court to have her sons declared legally dead. Days before John Skelton was to be released from prison, a shocking announcement was made. 


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.
