224. “Clandestine Operation” The Case of the Skelton Brothers - Morenci, Michigan [Part 2 of 2]
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.
