MORENCI, Mich. -- Police removed evidence from the home of the father of three missing boys from Morenci.
John Skelton's three sons, Alexander, 9, Andrew, 7, and Tanner, 5, have been missing since November. They were last seen by their father on Thanksgiving Day.
Skelton, 39, faces three charges of parental kidnapping in the disappearance of his sons.
Officers removed dozens of items, including a noose, rope, bottles of bleach and clothing from Skelton's Morenci house.
Tom Berry, a retired veteran police officer, said the police took the items before anyone could try to destroy possible evidence.
"When they find these children, and I pray that they do as everybody else, they will be able to take the stuff they got in the home if somebody tries to destroy evidence," Berry said. "A lot of people will do bad things to clean up blood. Bleach is a real good deterrent to leaving evidence."
