Overview

  • Andrew, Alexander, and Tanner Skelton, aged 9, 7, and 5 at the time, were last seen with their father on Thanksgiving 2010 in Morenci, Michigan.
  • Their mother, Tanya Zuvers, petitioned to have them declared dead to provide closure and respect for their lives.
  • Judge Catherine Sala set their date of death as November 26, 2010, but declined to attribute responsibility due to a lack of clear evidence.
  • Investigators have long suspected their father, John Skelton, who provided conflicting accounts and served a 15-year sentence for unlawful imprisonment.
  • Despite extensive searches and tips, the boys' remains have never been found, leaving their disappearance unresolved.
